Lord of the Rings: Like the books, hate the movies.

 

[Kanon]

Transformers
Harry Potter movies (not the movies fault really, I think the source material is quite poor)

 

[WorthyStevens]

Wow, a lot of great movies are being hated on...

 

[scifiwolf]

I can't bring myself to watch two seconds of it - not since it became "cool" to like it. Everybody jumped on that bandwagon. It just completely killed it for me. I can't think of any other poplular movies I hate.

 

[Figs]

Some really bad taste in here

I agree! Don't think to much into it though. A lot of the internet types try to go for the other side of "cool" which is to hate whatever the mainstream likes. It's ironic, people not wanting to be sheep but end up in a group of thier own as sheep.

[kedrell]

TITANIC, pulp fiction, POTC movies

I'm with ya 2/3 of the way. Super over-rated movies.

 

[kedrell]

Harry Potter. All of them.

Agreed. I'll add Transformers and any other movie Michael "Blech!" Bay has done.

 

[kedrell]

Oh, and V for Vendetta. God I hated that. Pretty much all Wachowski movies other than the 1st Matrix, which was decent but hardly great.

 

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

This place needs to write an official news story apologizing for over-hyping Sam Raimi's Spider-man movies. They have their moments, especially as far as the villains are concerned, but come on.

hmmmm, popular, popular.... Now I don't hate it, but I do hate that batman begins became so overrated in the same vein as the spidey flicks. It has its issues too.

Pirates 3, indeed, is even more of a bloated mess than 2.

Evil dead. these flicks just suck. I don't know why they're popular besides bruce campbell's charm.

Incredibles. In time people will come to see how underwhelming and paint by numbers this movie really is.

Oh and 300. I can see teens who love mindless violence thinking it's "cool" but really the way some make it out to be some sort of high class work of art, is disturbing to me.

I will agree to most of this.

Spiderman series, Batman Begins, and 300 I find to be all insanely over-rated.

In particular 300. As you said, people act as if it is some amazing work of art, and that mind set is disturbing. I don't think you're over-reacting at all. The movie had absolutley NOTHING going for it except some cool visuals. No story, no depth, just a whole bunch of fighting, and turning the Persians into some crazy monsters and ****. Was it a good, fun movie? Yes. But nothing more.

I also don't like how Batman Begins is the new holy grail of comic book films. Again, it was -good-, but I still felt it was lacking in many areas. Many areas were turned -too- realistic for my tastes. I just really didn't feel like I was watching a Batman film.

Between Batman Begins or the Burton / Shumacher Batmans, then I feel it is the lesser of 2 evils (much lesser)... but it's still not some holy grail of comic book films that all other superhero films should be judged against.

Yeah, I don't get that either. You like something, and then you don't like it because it becomes cool. That is sort of silly to me. You shouldn't stop liking something just because it becomes cool or popular.

The Good, The Bad And The Ugly

OH. MY. GOD.








EXPLAIN!!!!

 

[Kakihara]

As far as not liking something because it's cool or mainstream, I often find that it's coincidence sometimes when I generally DO NOT like a movie either because of a shoddy narrative, poor character development, prodution issues, etc and find that it had some record weekend at the box office or something and later on I find people going on and on about it. I think the real bandwagon IS the mainstream audience sometimes. People may in fact just go along with the popular view on a movie, and push their own faults they themselves find with the movie aside to join the crowd. I'm not trying to "look cool" or anything-I just honestly despise some of these films for key reasons and first noticed them in my initial screening of these movies. I have high standars is all. Too many people settle for mediocrity these days and that's sad.

 

[The Chairman]

I wouldn't say I hated it, but it didn't live up to my expectations. Eastwood was great, and the direction is superb, but I couldn't get into it. And I feel really bad about it, because I wanted to love it because of all the praise it gets. There were also certain moments where I could not understand the plot at all.

I also found it a bit slow. I'm not one of those people who can't sit trhough long movies, because I've sat through longer movies that I love, but I found the pacing in TGTBATU to be off in many spots.

I might give it another shot, though.

 

[Carmine Falcone]

Oh, I see.
Giving a movie a 2nd try can indeed help, because you know what to expect.

I wanted to love it because of all the praise it gets.

I had exactly the same with Once Upon A Time in The West.

What I said wasn't about everybody so if you have nothing to be guilty of in that group I mentioned, you shouldn't be responding back in a defensive manner. As far as the bandwagon being the mainstream audience, yeah it used to be the only one. Now days it still is, but so is the internet movie geek group. I've met enough people and been in enough arguments with other film geeks/nerds(im not saying im not a film geek so don't jump on me for using those terms) that couldn't come up with valid excuses why they didn't like something to where I smelt the Bull****. I knew it was because of that geek elitist attitude, that the general movie goers are dumb and have bad taste in film. So in my experience I've noticed another bandwagon of people that don't like things the "dumb" general public are into. I'm not saying you, let alone all film geeks like myself are like that just a good number of them are. You'll usually find it's the ones that can't give real reasons other than "I just didn't like it" or "just because" and nothing detailed or intelligent. I also understand some movies are hyped beyond belief to where it ruins the movies for some as well.

The Spider-man movies.

terribly overrated. Kristen Dunst is annoying and Maguire plays Peter Parker as a lethargic mouth-breather and Spider-man as a complete bore. The only good parts are when Spidey swings right before the ending credits. Everything else is mind-numbing garbage.

X-men 1 is also lame. Much of the cast is just way off (wrestler playing lobotomized Sabertooth, Halle Berry for Storm, frat boy for Cyclops). A giant bubble from a "magic" gyroscope that turns everybody into mutants? The goofy wire fu is just insulting. I love how Wolverine can swing around the Statue of Liberty with his claws like they were hooks.

And I don't care what anyone says the Matrix is a great movie. By no means average or bad. Simply great.

Spider-Man 3

 

[blind_fury]

i dont hate it, but I feel Equilibrium is vastly overated. bog stanmdard future distopia story, with an illogical martial art that people seem to wet themselves over, when in execution its full of holes.

"statistical analysis of gunplay has let to optimum blah blah," basically boiled down to "stand in the middle of the room, whilst the untrained and frightened people dont just mindlessly spray the room with hot lead, obliterating you in the process, but instead follow our statistical patterns". tosh. utter utter tosh.

I don't think it's plausibility that attracts people to the gunkata concept.

It's like when Clint Eastwood shoots a rope from a football field away. You just roll with it because it's so badass.

and the ultra slick fight scenes are just the icing on the cake. The real power comes from the message. The ultimate enforcer uses his training/conditioning to become the ultimate freedom fighter after he realizes what's more important than security and order. Our ability to freely think and feel.
