doublestufforeo Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I really love Bourne Identity, a lot of people I hang out with don't like it. I think they're insane in the membrane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenFreeze Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I am obsessed with the 2008 remake of One Missed Call, yet people hate on it so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Movieguy Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 A lot of folks seem to hate on Iron Man 2 quite a bit. I can only attribute that to theatergoers who seem to want action sequences every five minutes, or else the movie is automatically boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewheeled999 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I caught Drive on Netflix last night, knowing very well what I was getting myself into. I wasn't expecting an action-packed thrill ride, just a slow, emotional piece that focused more on the actors and story than violence. I LOVED IT. I can see where people come from calling it boring, I guess, but I personally thought it was one of the most tense, emotional films I've ever seen. Ryan Gosling's character was incredible, so subtly expressive, especially during those extended silences that pop up so often. I didn't mind them one bit, since his facial expressions told a deeper story than the words he said. The violence was a bit too much for me to handle at times (The pole.. the stomp.. the fork.. the razor.. UGH), but I'm really glad I persevered through it, because Drive is now one of my favorite thrillers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I actually like a lot of movies adapted from books I've read, although most people who've read the book and seen the movie hate the movie. --Water for Elephants: I really thought they did a great job with the movie adaptation. They had everything that needed to be there. --Breaking Dawn: Part 1: I had really low expectations going into this because I didn't like the 4th book very well, but I actually think I like this movie better than the others. I thought they did a great job with the movie. --Holes: not sure if people hate this movie, but since the book was so good I thought the movie wouldn't be, but I love the movie too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Movieguy Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I mentioned this in another thread, but I really liked Prometheus. It may not have been as good as Alien, but it didn't need to be. I see all this vitriol being thrown at it, with people talking like its the worst thing to happen to sci-fi since the Star Wars prequels. I can understand why some people just didn't like it, but I don't understand why others seem to hate on it with so much venom. It makes me wonder what's happened to sci-fi and comic book movie fans in recent years, because I see the same thing happening with the Dark Knight Rises, another movie I enjoyed, that's been getting a lot of crap. Again, it didn't top the last movie, which it couldn't have, so it's automatically the worst thing ever? I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hercules Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 ^ You have to remember, most people have absolutely no middle ground. Either something is the best thing ever, or the absolute worst thing ever. Society is plauged by extremes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molemaster43 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Sorry if I have said this before, but Armageddon. I hate how people keep complaining how this movie is scientifically accurate.

Nrthwnd Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 "Chicago" At least, nobody I know makes any remarks that say they liked it, etc. Which is sad. It's truly a modern success of a movie musical, one of the very few these past several years. This still stands, for me. A few have come close, since this posting. But no matter. "Chicago" Rules! And I saw it 19 times in it's first run, on the big screen too. And the CD soundtrack still rocks too, Go Velma! Go Cell Block Tango!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocoaster Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Earth Girls Are Easy comes to mind as a film I love that no one else I know seems to. Most complain that it's too silly or dumb; of course it is, still made me laugh a hell of a lot. Of course, the film was not widely seen upon release. Watchmen and Unbreakable are two films that did do good at the box office that I really thought were outstanding, while the majority of people I know have reactions to both that range from meh to negative.

It is just a movie, sit back and enjoy it. I don't think it worked on the "sit back and enjoy it" level, either. A few movies I rather like that others probably wouldn't: Flash Gordon (1980 version) Forbidden Zone (the Oingo boingo movie--sort of a live-action version of a Betty Boop cartoon) The Black Hole (mainly for the cool, pre-CGI special effects--the story and acting are crap) Something Wicked this Way Comes (the best attempt at bringing a Ray Bradbury story to the big screen) Eating Raoul (I think this is funny as hell, but I have friends who despise it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
