Was there ever a movie you like but everyone else hated? - Page 5

xXx- The Vin Diesel movie.

Apparently we prefer necroposting to new topics...so, mine are Stalker, Death Proof, Ghosts of Mars, and the Charlie's Angels movies. I also liked the first Starship Troopers movie even though it has nothing to do with the book whatsoever.

I also like a lot of the classics that people frequently insist are horrible, but I think they're sometimes conflating 60s-70s aesthetics with truly horrible - Logan's Run, Zardoz, the original The Wicker Man and Rollerball.

**Jester** · 07-31-2013, 02:08 PM

No, no. Zardoz really is horrible. It has a plot that impossible to follow and Sean Connery in a red leather diaper.

The Gun is good...but this movie is evil.

X-men III isn't a terrible movie. Its a disappointing movie, but people make it out to be garbage when it actually has a number of great scenes and moments.

Godzilla 1998 - Watching it as a standalone movie, which is what it should have been, its pretty cool. I really like the monster's design too.

Transformers 2 - There are stupid parts and its a little longer than need be imo, but it works for a follow up to the first.

The Wizard - I don't know if people truly hate this or its just the Nintendo/Power Glove running gag but Ive always loved this movie. The journey to the video game competition is fun and even if it was one big ad for Super Mario Bros 3 its still entertaining.

Yeah.

I never understood why the Fantastic Four movies were supposed to be so bad. I like them.

as for movie that I hate but lots of people love. I'm going to say Batman Returns.

I find the movie boring and I think it tries to be weird for the sake of being weird.

I went to see "identiy theft" with a bunch of friends and every single one thought is is funny a **** and I thought it was just stupid. Half way through the film there is a scene where Melissa McCarthy's character is in a truck and it flips over and I was honestly hoping her character had been killed, I wanted to punch this chick in the throat. Also Jason Bateman needs to play other roles where he is not some strait-laced dude who is always perplexed by bad people.

I also thought it was an eye roller when Melissa McCarthy's character suddenly had a tragic past that made her act like the way she did that was revealed about midway in the film. The film spent so much time building her up as this horriable person then suddenly we are supposed to feel sorry for her. I wanted Jason Bateman's charcter to punch her in the throat. The only time I was mildly impressed with her character is when she kicked out the cops back window and rolled out of it.

Oh God, I can't agree with this more. Her character in that movie was awful! I didn't sympathize with her at f*cking at all.

Howard the Duck.

Put me in the room with anyone who doesn't like Howard the Duck. Some people can't recognize something that's awful by design, which therefore makes it awesome in how successful it is at sucking.

Plus, by definition, nothing with 1980s Lea Thompson can be bad. "Some Kind Of Wonderful"? F*cking. Amazing.
