Movies you thought were awesome as a kid...

[DieSmiling]

...but you realized actually suck?

I thought Judge Dredd was awesome when I was a kid... It's probably one of the worst movies ever.

I also used to think Rush Hour was like the funniest movie of all time... Rewatched it a few weeks ago... Not so much.

 

[mathhater]

I don't think I ever liked it per se, but I sat through "Masters of the Universe" about a hundred times as a kid. I think I was probably trying to make myself like it. But damn, that's one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

 

[Dark Donnie]

He-man was definately one

No Retreat No Surrender-check it out, its awful

 

[Sloth7d]

Ninja turtle III
Batman & Robin

Thats just blasphemy.

I suggest everyone hide behind their tables as there is about to be a bar room brawl....

How about this:

 

[Space Moose]

Super Mario Bros.

When I was a kid I thought that movie was 'Da Bomb' until I re-watched it again a few years ago and realised what a suck-fest it was.

 

[Warhammer]

 

[The Chairman]

The Schumacher Bat-films.
The Power Rangers Movie

 

[murdock_matt]

Red Dawn. Used to watch it constantly as an early teen. Now it's just painful.

 

[patrickbateman]

same here

 

[blind_fury]

Monster Squad and The Last Dragon do not hold up.

Sorry.

also Snow White, Toxic Avenger, Amazon Women from the Moon.

It's not that these are horrible but my memories of them were great and when I rewatched them I was left extremely disappointed.

The Gate. You know that movie was off the chizzain.

The Gate. You know that movie was off the chizzain.

dude... is that the one with the imps?!

i loved that movie as a kid (i think i was like, 12 when i saw it)

I used to love "Not Quite Human" as a kid. It had the dad from "Growing Pains" as an inventor that invents himself an android teenage son named Chip. It's family-scifi-comedy.

 

[terry78]

Oh yeah, I also liked all those movies featuring kids dealing in sci-fi stuff they had no business dealing with. War Games, Manhattan Project, Weird Science, My Science Project, etc.

 

[DieSmiling]

Ace Ventura 2

I'm liked that with pretty much every Jim Carrey movie...

The Mask being the worst of all.

 

[Bat Attack]

Ace Ventura 2

Same here, I saw that one in theater when I was 6 and loved it. But I watched it recentley and Carrey is so over the top it's annoying.

Judge Dredd kicked ass... don't know what you are smoking. Yeah the graffics sucked but its an old movie.... "I AM THE LAW"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ****ing great...

Oh and the greatest part when he is hunting down bad guys in that apartment and he is changing the gears on his guns... "Double Whammy".... you just can't top that... Stallone owned that role.

Those are Classics. Don't forget Explorers.

 

[Drizzle]

The Phantom Menace, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II, and Batman Forever are the only ones I can think of right now.

 

[terry78]

Oh yeah, Critters II....for the scene where the alien female transforms and her breasts basically burst out of her uniform...full frontal on a PG-13 flick....beautiful as a child.

 

[venom62]

He Man the movie was awesome as a kid. Now, ehhh...

I'm taking way back: Garbage Pale Kids the Movie.

I couldn't believe it didn't win best picture, when i was 4. It was on cable recently and it pretty much sucked.

 

[Storm22]

Superman 4
