Ang Lee's Hulk.

Kazaam...and I wouldn't mind a sequel, as well.

*shuriken* · 09-03-2014, 06:38 PM

Kazaam WOW. Even as a kid I thought it was bad

Green Lantern. Aside from Paralax making that dude look like he was retaining a bunch of water and some bad cgi gimmicks I found it pretty enjoyable.

I was just a huge fan of Shaq. I, even, enjoyed the video game Shaq-fu, but, that conversation belongs to another thread.

*shuriken* · 09-04-2014, 12:59 AM

That's understandable. Have you seen Steel with Judd Nelson and Shaq as the titular character? I saw it a few months back and it is BAAAD.

*Icebot* · 09-18-2014, 10:51 AM

Tmnt 3 (1993).

The Angry Video Game Nerd made it seem unlikable but I enjoyed it.

I know that this thread hasn't been posted in in months, but I wanted to share my movies that I like (or at least, don't hate) that everyone else hates. Keep in mind that this is my own opinion, and if you agree or disagree, there's nothing wrong with that.

I'll start with the ones I don't hate:

Tom and Jerry: the Movie - The majority of the hate for it comes from the fact that Tom and Jerry have speaking parts and don't get as much screen time as the orphan, Robyn. As someone who originally wasn't a fan of the cartoons because of the silence of the duo, this movie somehow got me hyped when I discovered it online. Watching it again, however, it just seems like a mediocre Disney knockoff that isn't the godawful travesty it's made out to be, but is still pretty bad and would definitely be forgotten if Tom and Jerry weren't the alleged main characters.
Shrek the Third - Yeah, this one is definitely a downgrade from the first two, mostly the second one. For me, the humor is somewhat poorly balanced (why make jokes during the scene where a character is dying at all) and the climax in which everyone gangs up on Charming seems a little harsh towards him. I mean come on, all he wanted was a happy ending after the events of "2" and he gets crushed by the fake castle, even if he ganged up all the fairy tale villains. But it still has enough humorous moments for me that I will watch it every once in a while.

Now for the ones I do like:

Blues Brothers 2000 - I'm not sure how to explain this one. I guess it's the musical numbers that get me to enjoy this movie.
Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights - I'm not entirely sure how to explain this one either. The points made in other reviews are definitely valid. It's crude, mean-spirited and the characters aren't the most likable. I guess the backstory they push in later still kind of works to make the main character somewhat sympathetic. Plus the animation is beautiful.
The Cat in the Hat - Yes, the Mike Myers version. Okay, it doesn't work that well as an adaptation of the Dr. Seuss book, but the sets are very colorful, and there are some decent jokes, and it seems like Myers is at least trying, considering certain legal circumstances he was going through.
The Smurfs movies (Particularly 2) - Watching them again, the first one is just alright. And when I saw the sequel in the theater, I thought it was kind of inferior. Watching it again, for the most part, I don't get all the hate it's getting. It dives pretty deep into Smurfette's backstory, and it has a good moral, in that you aren't defined by your origins, but by the choices you make. It may be a formula kids movie made by a Hollywood studio, but it's still enjoyable for me. It was like that even when I saw both of them in theaters. I saw them both on opening day/night.

Smurfs 1: Packed theater, audience loved it, dialogue occasionally drowned out.

Smurfs 2: Like 10-11 people in the theater besides me, occasional laughs, etc.

There are even more besides those seven.

I think I posted in this already but wanted to add The Wizard.

I'm not sure if it's hated but I guess it's considered stupid and an excuse to show off the NES and Super Mario Bros 3 but I really enjoy it for their adventure too. I think it's a fun movie.

I've always wanted a sequel especially since games are so advanced now.

*neatoman* · 01-03-2015, 05:10 AM

Spider-Man 3

*Powder* · 01-03-2015, 05:29 AM

The Super Mario Bros Movie. One of my all time favorites. I was surprised to learn it's widely hated.

*Autbot_Benz* · 01-03-2015, 10:21 PM

TMNT 2014 and the 4 Transformers movies

Wow, Little Monsters. Another one I still love. But then I also liked My Best Friend Is a Vampire, too. And Love At First Bite. I like some pretty off-the-wall movies.

I love that film as an adult, but as a kid it gave me years of nighmares, I had to sleep at night with a light on

*neatoman* · 01-04-2015, 05:05 AM

So many of you will not even know this one, "Livet i 8 Bitar" (translated as "The Life in 8 Bits").

A lot of people hate it because it looks like it would be about a guy entering a Nintendo competition, but it turns out it's actually that guy telling the story of how he lost his hand thanks to his Jewish family, so yeah it's about as mean spirited as you can imagine. On top of that... Well I know the director is Jewish himself, but it still presents the family as greedy, self-hating, pushy xenophobes and I can see why some would find that uncomfortable...

That said, yeah it's funny. The family might be negative stereotypes but not so much that it makes it feel awkward and if it had been about a Nintendo contest it woulda have been boring.

*ObiWanFan4life* · 01-04-2015, 06:05 AM

Cars (2006) - Despite it being one of Pixar's weakest films, I always felt people were too harsh on it. It has a few genuinely funny jokes, and stellar animation.

I love that movie! It's unique, but I really don't see the problem with it.

A lot of people seem to hate Kung Pow, but I could see why.
