Movies You Love, But Most People Hate

[Lobster Charlie]

Terminator 3. I thought it was totally solid, and had the best ending out of the Terminator movies thus far.

[The Apatow Crew]

Terminator 3. I thought it was totally solid, and had the best ending out of the Terminator movies thus far.I liked t3 also.


And another i'm gonna say is Hancock. I liked the story and the action.

[darkseid26]

constantine

[DACMAN]

Last Action Hero
This is actually considered a cult classic now.

[Prison Mike]

The Punisher (the one with Thomas Jane)

[The Apatow Crew]

The Punisher (the one with Thomas Jane)DDon't know why people hate that. It's better then the 89 dolph version i think.

[DACMAN]

At least the 89 Punisher shot more than 5 people. :whatever:


I don't know what it is about the Jane Punisher. I hated it to death when I saw it in theaters. Yet I own it and watch it regularly. I think I just love the character that much.

[Mr. Todd]

X-Men 3
Daredevil and, I'm so dead for saying this...
The Love Guru I wouldn't say I LOVE any of them (all 3 had problems in their plots), but I think they're enjoyable while everyone else seemed to hate them.

[Kakihara]

I didn't love it or anything, but I did like The Spirit. There were still cringe-worthy parts a couple of times, but if you've read enough Miller, you get what he's going for and when he's being serious. I think I actually liked it more than Snyder's 300 due to his retarded addition of LOTR style monsters added to Frank's original book.

[Sentinel X]

The Hulk 9/10 - Perhaps one of the most underrated films of all time, this isn't just a good movie it is a GREAT movie! And I love it. Also it is very rewatchable...and I never understood the vast amount of complaints for the CGI, it was good...their only mistake was making him highlighter green, if he was a little more pale it would look amazingly awesome

K-PAX 9/10 - Very Underrated film as well. I thought it was very good. Sad, emotional, and uplifting. Also Kevin Spacey's performance as Prot (I think thats his name) was really really good.

Jumanji 8.5/10 - This film isn't hated by people born in the 90s, they seem to like it but everyone else don't seem to think its that great. I thought it was really good. It was quite an adventure and it was really fun....even when I rewatch it, its loads of fun!

[Rishi]

Zohan
Wayans Bros. comedies
Ninja Turtles '90 (people online might agree, but almost everyone I know IRL thinks its a joke. nevertheless, its in my top 5)
Hancock
Bee Movie
Hitch

[Doctor Jones]

Constantine - Such an underrated comic book film. And I like Reeves in this.

Van Helsing - It's a damn fun film, screw you. And Kate Beckinsale is just more than a goddess. She's otherworldly to look at, she's above beauty IMO.

Godzilla 98 - I'd rather watch this than some of that other original stuff that's terrible. Though I love King Kong vs Godzilla. Good and interesting characters, liked how Godzilla looked, I strangely thought the French thing was weird but funny. And Jene Renno was great. Some of the army people were stupid as hell.

Wild Wild West - Not executed too well, but I love the sets the costumes, just the over the top stuff in it. There's too much hate.

LXG - Barely an adaption. I like the cast alot. There are some good parts in the script. But I really wish they went for the plot in the GN which is fantastic. I was crazy for this film as a 11 year old. I did a 5th grade monthly book report on the movie novel which is better than the film. I'm not lying, I even did one on the Van Helsing movie novel.

[gwynplaine]

I am legend. (mostly for the 1st half of course)

[thedeadite]

What are peoples thoughts on "Hackers"??
I'm not sure if it's "hated" but definitely not talked about, personally I LOVE the movie.
It's probably the most watched dvd I own (out of over 500)

[Hush]

Speed Racer and I know I have said this before Armagedon.

I love this movie, if I'm flipping through movies and this just happens to be on, I stop and watch the rest, no matter what.

Agreed on all five movies, they're all enjoyable for what they are, I have 2 but I kind of want to get the other three now.

[Vile]

Street Fighter! Infinitly quotable.

[Doctor Jones]

Hell, I still have Godzilla 98 on VHS.

I even saw it in theaters when I was 6. I was crazy for it. Then I got a huge kick out of Hank Azaria just missing being stepped on by the foot and laughing about it. Him and Jene Reno were my favorite characters.

And I found it amusing they always screwed Broderick's name up in the film always correcting them. I believe that name was one of the crew guys or SFX guys who worked on Independence Day.

[Darkness Falls]

Kiss Meets the Phantom Of the Park :)

[MiniBond]

off the top of my head I'd say X men 3 but there are many others......:woot::cwink:

[chaseter]

I've seen or own everyone of those movies. Except Simone.
I would hate to see your collection then:o:woot:

[Carnotaur3]

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Those are exactly the same reasons I love it, that and I'm a fan of Broderick, I didn't hav eit on VHS, but I do remember seeing it theaters, it was too cool.

[gwynplaine]

T3.

[CelticPredator]

Alien 3.

Revenge Of The Sith

[The Chris]

Spider-Man 3
X3
Hulk
Godzilla (1998)
Transformers (at least most sci-fi fans seem to hate it)
Phantom Menace

Well with Transformers I've noticed that the hate comes from internet peeps and film students. I talk to a regular joe, and they like it a lot.

[Jick09]

^^Same here, and same with me. I really liked the movie.

[Chris Wallace]

Hence my disclaimer.

[Doctor Jones]

It was pretty cool to see all that happen on the big screen. I liked Broderick alot in it. He was funny and very likeable and that unexpected geeky hero that we want to root for. The script and him made it work. The supporting cast helped that too. As a little kid I had a crush on the blonde chick in the film, Broderick's gf or whatever.

[Chris Wallace]

The Punisher (the one with Thomas Jane)
Too bad we're not likely to ever see Frank on the big screen again.

[Johann Krauss]

Batman Returns
Star Wars RoTS

[chaseter]

Too bad we're not likely to ever see Frank on the big screen again.
His fault for agreeing to such a horrible movie:o

[gwynplaine]

Zohan.

[Episode29]

Well with Transformers I've noticed that the hate comes from internet peeps and film students. I talk to a regular joe, and they like it a lot.

That's because regular joe's are morons.

Exhibit A) Paul Blart: Mall Cop
Exhibit B) The Pink Panther
Exhibit C) Bedtime Stories, You Don't Mess With The Zohan, etc.
Exhibit D) The Fast & The Furious franchise
Exhibit E) Four Christmases
Exhibit F) Transformers
Exhibit G) The Mummy franchise

...I could keep going for hours but I rest my case.

[chaseter]

The first Mummy and the first Fast & Furious were good movies:o WTF do you only watch Oscar winners???

[Episode29]

The first Mummy and the first Fast & Furious were good movies:o WTF do you only watch Oscar winners???

I try to see pretty much everything, including prestige films and popcorn flicks. And The Fast and the Furious and The Mummy are most definitely not good. Mildly diverting at best... Hackneyed, uninspired and dull at worst.

[kedrell]

Last Action Hero

[SLVRSR4]

I saw Daredevil yesterday and I loved it. I'm not sure why exactly, but I just thought Ben Affleck and Micheal Clarke Duncan were really trying.

[ABleedingCorpse]

House of a 1000 Corpses
Batman Returns
Halloween H20
Rob Zombie's Halloween
There Will Be Blood
Prom Night (remake)
The Village

[Swordmaster]

There Will Be Blood


:huh:

[kedrell]

^I know, I didn't think that would qualify a one most people hate.

[Doctor Jones]

Halloween H20

Halloween 2

The Pink Panther - this was damn funny as hell, screw you. You're blinded by the hate for remakes, you just don't see it. The sequel though...

The Mummy - Freaking great fun. I love every second of it. Great adventure. Raiders mixed with horror. Great combination.

[Faded To Deaf]

- Max Payne
- AVP: R

[ABleedingCorpse]

^I know, I didn't think that would qualify a one most people hate.

Well everyone I spoke with who've seen it hated it. They thought it was pointless and went no where, so that's where I'm coming from. I liked it, my dad liked it a bit, but my aunt and uncle hated it.

[ABleedingCorpse]

I should add Jersey Girl to my list. I liked that movie.

[Faded To Deaf]

Sounds like your Uncle is trying to get some.

[zanos]

I really liked the Island.

[Sam Fisher]

Transformers (at least most sci-fi fans seem to hate it)

EDIT.
I loved Transformers. I honestly think the animated movie is horrible.

X-men 2000 8/10

imo the best film in the franchise it has really stood well against the test of time

the film was great back in 2000, 9 years later it still is great

Ian Mckellen did an excellent job opposite patrick stewart, you really get the feeling of a giant chess game between the two, which is evident in the comics

"Why do you ask questions to which you already know the answer ?"

and the ending scene in the cell was pure gold

also the cast had great chemistry and shared the screen time

Uhhh, most people like this film. :huh:

[Christmas]

Xmen is a great movie.

I was a huge fan of Inspector Gadget with Matthew Broderick.

[StylishHokie21]

Terminator 3 and Soldier are two I enjoy, but most people hate these. I can understand the hate for T3, but not for Soldier. Am I the only one who feels this way?

[Darkness Falls]

Uhhh, most people like this film. :huh:

D'oh

posted this in the wrong thread :o
meant to click the "last movie you watched 3.0" thread

my mistake

[Spoarz™]

Daredevil
Hulk
Fantastic Four
Superman Returns
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith
My opinion of some of these films has greatly changed over the past few years. Sadly, I no longer feel much love for Fantastic Four or the Star Wars prequels. :(

[Figs]

Terminator 3 and Soldier are two I enjoy, but most people hate these. I can understand the hate for T3, but not for Soldier. Am I the only one who feels this way?


Nope. I also really like Soldier.

Part of it does have to do with me being a big Kurt Russell fan though.

I thought it had some good action in it and Russell was a badass. While some people thought his acting was cheesy I liked it. It was basically him having to use his eyes and face/body to act (kind of like in a silent film)without any dialogue.

Plus you have crazy ass Gary Busey in it as well.:woot:

[Matt Mortem]

I love the Resident Evil films. Most hate em, but not me. They were enjoyable

[Figs]

I love the Resident Evil films. Most hate em, but not me. They were enjoyable


I think if the games never existed I would have enjoyed them a lot more but since I'm a fan of the video game series I couldn't force myself to love those films.

They got a couple of things right but screwed up everything else...not a nice balance in my eyes for an adaptation. :csad:

[DarkKnight88]

Episode III IS a really good movie. It only gets lumped as bad because of the other two. But it's still rated pretty high among people.

[gwynplaine]

I enjoyed Eraser when it came out. I haven't seen it since.

[Doctor Jones]

Episode III IS a really good movie. It only gets lumped as bad because of the other two. But it's still rated pretty high among people.

Amen to that. I actually prefer it over ROTJ. Just by a little bit.

But it is damn powerful to me. You really get the sense that these two aren't just master and apprentice, they're brothers fighting eachother, and Hayden's acting when he shouts to Obi Wan is his best moment and Ewan's acting in that scene is great, and accompanied by Williams score. it's damn beautiful.

[Matt Mortem]

I view the movies and the games the same way I view uncanny x-men and ultimate x-men. Same characters, but different spins on 'em. I would have loved it if they had done films a little closer to the source material, but I always say take what you can get.

[The Apocalypse]

Watchmen - everyone I know has hated it and called it boring. Then again..they never even bothered reading the book.
Push - all my friends decided to make fun of it while it was on but i enjoyed it.

[tyler-durden]

No Offense but you're friends sound really uncool and close minded.

[Octoberist]

i agree; get new friends Apoc! :p

Ive got friends from all walks of life; some liked and some thought it was okay. But they all kinda admired in the long haul.

I think the character interaction and development was better in X1 than in X2. (let's not talk about X3)

[tyler-durden]

I didn't realize alot of people hated X1, I thought it was great.

[Octoberist]

i don't think people hate X1; I think it's how people think of Mad Max 1.

Like X1 and X2, Mad Max was just limited by the budget and Road Warrior expand more into the mythos.

[Kakihara]

There's a handful of movies I like but others have heavily criticised, some seriously and others like guilty pleasures:

Doomsday-yes, it steals from mad max and early John Carpenter films, but if you watch enough movies you get that its more like an homage or love letter to those films and I'll be damned if anyone says the action isn't handled well. Rhona Mitra actually came across as a hard edged character to me as well and not just some hot chick who kicks ass.

D.O.A. -I'll admit this is a guilty pleasure. It's pretty perverted and pretty awful, but whatever. It's made for fun much like video games themselves and doesn't take itself seriously either. good ol' fashioned stupid fun.

The Blair Witch Project-I've always liked this movie. I knew going in it was done for literally no money as well, so I guess my hopes were set realistically before watching it. Many parts of it still creep me out, but you need to have an imagination to enjoy it somewhat.

King Kong(remake)-I've never understood people's hate for this movie,. It was expertly done and very very epic for me. The effects were great and the characters were fleshed out enough that I cared eventhough they really weren't the main attraction.

Vanilla Sky-Again, I don't get the hate this movie sometimes recieves. I'm not even a big Tom Cruise fan but politics aside, he was very good in this and actually(gasp) acting instead of being Tom cruise. Its actually one of the only remakes of a foreign film I prefer over the original, the other being The Departed.

Beowulf-What an amazing cg epic. I'm not much into fantasy, but I loved this movie. The animators should be commended as well as Zemeckis for doing a more mature themed cg film, both in content and execution.

I'm sure I'll think of some more...

[Kakihara]

I didn't realize alot of people hated X1, I thought it was great.

I really don't think this is the case. Maybe too many trolls got in the interwebs pipes once and made a stink. If anything I've heard the third movie brought up frequently when it comes to being bashed, but I've never heard about the first one. The second one is so amazingly well-made, though, that I can see the first one being overshadowed.

I think sometimes we confuse heavy fanboy nitpicking (leather suits, Sabretooth's limited dialogue, Halle's shoddy accent, Rogue not having the Ms. Marvel powers) with widespread hate.
