Movies that you are told are bad, that you consider good.

I hear from pretty much everybody that League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is a bad movie, however, I found it to be quite good.
Two things, first, this may have a lot to do with Sean Connery, who in my opinion, can pretty much do no wrong.
The second is that I have never read the graphic novel, and perhaps those people who have get ticked off about some change or other, I don't know.

Event Horizon. Love that film - Some of my mates hate it.
Dead Or Alive - Pretty good adaptation. Actually saw that before I ever played DOA.. I recognised the characters from the Movie so that can't be so bad. Yeah. the plot was pants but it was good fun.

Evolution! I love the film but so many people moan about how rubbish it is. Yes its not accurate and its almost no logic is what they use to kill the aliens but hey its a film. You don't moan when James Bond gets shot at for 10mins and doesn't get hit once.
Sucker Punch, It's like my favourite film now after fight club.
The story was really resonant with me as I tended to use escapism to get away from bad situations and people (hell the two villains almost mirror my own) throughout my life.

I liked that film. I thought it was very different and almost tragic in places. Mind you I've always liked Stephen King's stuff.werty10089 said:
Speed Racer for sure. My friend pointed out every flaw with it, and honestly, I agree with every single one of them. But for some reason I can't help but enjoy watching it. It's fast, it's interesting, the effects are really cool, the music is great, and I just love it ^.^ I even have the whole series on DVD :3
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Yeah, I like that movie too. And for the same reasons as you said.St.Augustine6 said:
I actually thought Howard the Duck was OK back in the day. If only to stare at Lea Thompson.
Don't know how it would hold up if I saw it again today.

Almost all of my friends say they thought "Unstoppable" sucked. I thought it was one of the best action movies I've ever seen
Everyone sees Tron Legacy as a movie about some people trapped in a virtual world and trying to escape/keep the villain from escaping. That may be true, but what it really is is a story of God having been forced into hiding by Satan. Forced to watch his creation fall to corruption as he himself remains in exile, guarding the miracle of science, least it be destroyed. Finally, salvation comes in the form of his son, who helps him save the miracle of science.
It's this whole big biblical science sci-fi mishmash....with the best soundtrack ever....
Everyone views Cloverfield as just another monster movie, except with a shaky camera. That's really not it. It's a movie about a guy willing to go through a nightmarish hell to save the girl he loves, and his group of friends who are willing to help him through it. The shaky camera first person thing just makes it all more personal.

Funny, I actually liked this movie too. I also didn't hate the Postman, I thought it was an intriguing idea, though a little drawn out.antidonkey said:
As far as movies my friends hated that I liked.. hmmm.. I liked Immortals and two of my friends said it was utter crap. I found it entertaining. Oh and Game of Shadows recently.. that was good stuff.
Hell yeah, I loved 1408! And I'm really picky about my scary movies; it has to be EXACTLY the right kind of scary or I won't like it, and 1408 hit all the right buttons.werty10089 said:
I also adore Silent Hill. I'll admit it's probably because I'm a giant Silent Hill fangirl, but say what you want about that movie, I love it to pieces. And I also loved Brotherhood of the Wolf, the other movie by that director, which is why I was very pleased when I learned he was going to be directing the Silent Hill movie.
The Fifth Element! I can't believe Fifth Element is even on any list of bad movies anywhere; it's one of my favorite movies of all time. XD
