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

[Slade]

A movie I can not stand is Napoleon Dynamite. I hated it then and everybody loved it. Still hate it to this day. Also Taladega Nights ,Step Brothers and Superbad.

[Ninjinister]

Green Lantern. There were parts where it was a bit slow, but I didn't expect anything more from the film.

1. Independence Day, ID4, or whatever you want to call it. I don't know why people hate this movie so much, its a big dumb action movie that is supposed to be fun. At least we got to know the characters and knew what was going on, unlike....

2. The Michael Bay Transformers movies. WHY THE F*CK DO PEOPLE LIKE THESE!?

They explained pretty clearly that Freeze's wife had an advanced stage of the disease that the cure did nothing for while Alfred was in the early stage where it could help him. Freeze needed more money to fund his further research.

Simple dawg. Right there in the movie.

Turtles 3. The costumes were butt ugly but other than that, I love it.

But I liked the one liners.

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

Oh my God! I don't even remember that!

Bane was portrayed as an idiot.

Bane didn't seem that way. He just didn't come off as the one with less intelligence. But he's Bane. He's all about the muscle. Still, Tom Hardy is the best Bane of the Batman movie franchise so far.

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

I knew that. Still, I never found him as a perfect choice.

Maybe it's because, I don't know, Freeze is crazy?!

At least in the Batman Beyond timeline Nora was cured. Sure she divorced his arse right after, but hey at least she was cured.

Here's something I hated that critics have praised: Avatar. Yes, it was done beautifully with the editing and special effects, but the story seemed a bit unoriginal . . . or James Cameron just took things he used from Aliens or from the Matrix to combine it with Dances With Wolves meeting the Smurfs. The characters were unlikeable to me. I had no sympathy for any of them. Plus, the movie was boring from the start, especially when I saw it in 3D. Everything was dragging on and on, I was starting to lose interest.

One last thing: if the whole thing took place on a planet called Pandora, why didn't James Cameron call the film "Pandora?" I mean, "Avatar?" Come on. I don't care if those blue aliens are really avatars of the humans. Because of him, the title "Avatar" no longer shows up for any Last Airbender titles. Very original, Cameron. No wonder why I can't call The Last Airbender "Avatar" anymore. Pathetic.

Yes, because Cameron was thinking of a 2005 cartoon when he wrote Avatar in '94. Because avatars aren't an ancient concept and term in and of themselves.

Who cares if he wrote it in 1994? I just felt he wasn't flexible enough to change the title since it has been used for The Last Airbender. I wouldn't even care if he still called the aliens avatars, because that made sense. With the internet and online games, there are avatars that are our characters.

And you're right. It is an ancient concept that it is a descent of a deity in Hinduism. I have no problem with that. It's just that since Last Airbender made a huge impact being once called Avatar, Cameron should have changed his title. That's just me. Maybe I'm only saying this because I didn't like the movie that much.

[The Stryker]

So Cameron should've changed the title of his movie just to please fans of a cartoon. Alright.

You know what? We'll just have to agree to disagree on this one. If we keep fighting, it's going to become one of those pointless battles of who's right and who's wrong.

Here's a movie that I hated that critics praised: The Hangover. It had a couple of funny parts, but the whole thing was really a film where they dropped the F Bomb so many times. It was very vulgar and the rest was just unfunny.

Hey! That reminds me of another movie that I didn't think was that bad, Cop-Out!

Also. What's the issue with a Rated R comedy being vulgar? That's pretty much the only reason for their existance.

Agreed. Zach was funny aaaaaand that's it.

I like Judge Dredd. I can certainly understand fans' outcry of its lack of fidelity to the source material, but I have fun watching it each time.

Actually, the Mike Tyson part with "In the Air Tonight" playing in the background was funny.

Never saw Judge Dredd. You looking forward to seeing the new one?

You know what was a good movie, but really was not hated by critics or audiences: Demolition Man. I don't know. Once you mentioned about a Stallone film, I just suddenly thought of this one.

Anyway, films I think critics haven't given any chances with are the later Shrek sequels. Shrek The Third was better than the second one. Second one I'll have to watch again. The third film should have been the last. Though I thought Shrek Forever After was interesting, it was not the best.

I didn't like Wall-E. I wanted to, but I couldn't. It was just trying to cutesy, and shove the "polluting is bad" message in my face every chance it gets. I also wasn't a fan of the Wall-E X Eve pairing that most people like.

Wall-E wasn't bad. I enjoyed that one. Not that much dialogue in the film, but still fun to watch. I'd rather put Up in my least favorite. It's a good half a movie. It's very sentimental when you see the life he had with his life and the life he'd have with the boy scout kid. But once those talking deviced dogs entered the scene, it got out of hand. I didn't actually think Up would become one of those dog movies like Beethoven or Air Bud. What the shell?

Way to diminish your point by saying "What the shell?".

I'm sorry. I just kind of like that catchphrase. I don't know. We're on a forum that mostly talks about TMNT. I can't refer to anything like that?

Tiny Toons How I Spent My Summer Vacation

[Leo656]

I absolutely LOVED Speed Racer, so much I went out the next day and got the Mach 5 M tattoo. We watched the whole series to get pumped for the movie, it delivered almost everything I wanted to see since I was 6. People who didn't like it mostly weren't fans of the show, and thus missed the entire point. It was SUPPOSED to be over-the-top, candy gloss, stupid-crazy ridiculous - like the show - and it totally was. Gimme more Mach 5 instead of Mach 6 and I'm a happy guy all over (although Mach 6 was cool, I just didn't think it necessary). Everyone acted their roles perfectly; Christina Ricci was hot, John Goodman was PERFECT, and Susan Sarandon even gave Speed's mom more "depth" (her huge jugs probably helped with that) than she ever had in the show. I didn't think a live-action anime could be much more accurate, in spirit or execution.

People that didn't like it just missed the point; although I could see how some visually sensitive types wouldn't dig it on account of how frenetic it was. I liked how they put so much work into it, some types of cameras were invented specifically for making that film, and they tried all kinds of new tricks with shooting it that had never been done before. I kinda get into stuff like that, and it usually enhances my enjoyment of the whole experience.
