Was there ever a movie you like but everyone else hated?
 
1. Have you ever seen a movie where you went to yourself; "WOW, this was one of the best movies I ever saw in my life." but yet everybody else hates it and the critics give it bad reviews. You wonder to yourself, why does everyone hate it so much?

2. What about a movie you hate with a passion and yet everybody else liked it so much and it got so many positive reviews from critics. They may have even made sequels to it or plan on doing so in the future and you just keep going to yourself; how the hell does anyone like that movie?


I'll start it off.

1. "Death to Smoochy." It's a comedy directed by Danny Devito. It spoofed actors that were child tv stars like Barney the Dinosaur. In this one, you had Smoochy the Rhino played by Edward Norton. He was a really genuine nice guy who seemed somewhat oblivious to certain things. Other actors in this were Robin Williams who played a random emotionally disturbed psychopath, Jon Stewart, and Danny Devito himself. I thought that this was truly one of the funniest movies ever and yet nobody else really liked it and the critics gave it bad reviews.


2. "X-Men First Class." I have to say I hate this movie. I hated it since the beginning of it where Mystique is Xavier's step sister....I was like, what? Then later on, I just didn't enjoy it. I didn't really care for the actors and some of the dialogue was stupid to me. Yet everyone else liked it, it got great reviews, and I think they're working on a sequel to this movie. Believe me, I honestly do not like this movie, no matter what anyone tells me.

Water world
Johnny mneumonic
Encino man
Hackers
Shawn of the dead (I love this movie, but very few will sit through it with me)

I'm sure there is more... That's what I can think of off the top of my head.

Almost every Will Ferrell movie. There's one person I know besides me that is a real fan.

Moonlight1102 08-18-2012 09:37 AM

Green Lantern.

I think the Fantastic Four movies get a bum rap. They aren't that bad....really.

1. I liked both Fantastic Fours and the first Fred movie.

2. I f*cking hated Scott Pilgrim. What a piece of garbage. Man, I've never been so happy to see a movie fail in my life.

Im one of the few fans who love TMNT 3.

I don't like Titanic. It's one of the most boring movies ever. Plus I just hate Leo Di Crapio.

:tgrin:Batman and Robin. Better than that Batman Forever garbage. Arnold was a "cool" Mr. Freeze:tlol:, and I also didn't mind George Clooney playing the caped crusader. Yet, people hated it. Why?:tconfuse: I get why no one liked the choice for Batgirl, but everything else seemed fine to me. Still, I couldn't stand that Commissioner Gordon portrayed by Pat Hingle.:trazz: Gary Oldman is the best Gordon there is.:tcool:

Lord of the Rings. Such a ****** script, so much nonsense and ****ing lack of a good structure with bad characters and... Oh, I could keep going, but what's the point? By now I've learned that no one will agree with me on this :p

I actually agree with ya. I don't like LOTR either. The movies were boring (the ones I've seen anyways... I think I've seen 2 of em) and I tried to read the books but they just put me to sleep.

The movies I liked that are hated by most are Soider-Man 3, X-Men: First Class, X-Men 3: The Last Stand, The Crow: Salvation, Fantastic 4, and The Green Lantern.

Movies that are popular that I don't really care for much are the James Bond movies, the Godfather movies, Seven, and The 40 Year-Old Virgin. I was planning to watch all of the James Bond movies in chronological order, but after the seventh, I realized I couldn't really get into them. I tried skipping over the rest of them to one of the more modern movies, so I tried GoldenEye. I wasn't feeling that one either, so that's when I realized they weren't for me.

Speed Racer was so awesome.

1.) I liked "any given Sunday". Despite the ham fisted scenes in the movie(a player's eye popped out during the game), I liked the movie. Jamie Foxx was awesome playing the hard headed backup QB. I heard people didn't like it.

2.) I realized "the blindside" was full of s&$t. At first I liked it because of the upbeat nature of it but after reading about the boy who Sandra Bullock's character took in had a better backstory than the movie. Somehow the producers felt the kid's real life story was not Hollywood enough so they dumbed him down and made Sandra's character the main character. The real Michael Okafor was pissed about the movie and how they made him act. This is the first time that I feel the need to buy a person's autobiography just to see how "true" the movie's story is.

I think what ruined the movie for most people was the kid and his monkey.

I would say that it was because of the one liners in this movie.

Plus certain things like Batman having a Bat Credit Card. It's just...why???!!!

Bane was portrayed as an idiot.

Pat Hingle actually did Gordon in the Batman movies Burton did and Schumacher did surprisingly.

Also; they use the storyline of Mr. Freeze freezing his wife to find a cure for the disease she has. At some point in this movie; Batman mentions that Mr. Freeze DID find a cure...so why the heck was he keeping her frozen, stealing diamonds to build some gigantic freeze ray; IF HE HAD THE CURE THE WHOLE TIME?!
