Say Something Positive About a Film You Hate

[horacethegrey]

DC


Superman Returns

Well... the bullet in the eye scene was cool.


Man of Steel

I like Henry Cavill as Superman.

Hans Zimmer's theme for Superman is AWESOME. A worthy successor to John William's original.


Green Lantern

I actually liked the visual effects. I don't see how you can make a character like Green Lantern work without them. Realism shouldn't be the goal here.

The scenes on Oa were interesting.


Watchmen

Jackie Earl Haley was perfect as Rorschach.

As was Billy Crudup as Doctor Manhattan. The CG effect on him made him look otherworldly.



MARVEL

Spider-Man 3

Thomas Hayden Church was good as Sandman, as were the visual effects to realize him.


The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Emma Stone. Emma Stone. EMMA STONE.

Oh. And Andrew Garfield is still superior (pun intended) to Tobey Maguire.


Daredevil

Daredevil's Radar sense onscreen was well realized. If only the same effort was put into the script and direction.


Ghost Rider

Ghost Rider looks perfect.


Hulk

I actually liked the backstory involving David Banner and how his experiments helped in the creation of the Hulk.


Iron Man 2

War Machine looks cool.

I actually laughed at Sam Rockwell's antics.


Avengers Age of Ultron

THE VISION

Elizabeth Olsen is hot.


X-Men: The Last Stand

Kelsey Grammer is perfect as Beast


X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Liev Schreiber was a great Sabretooth. I wish he'd appear again as Creed.


Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

The Surfer. Nothing else.

 

[Mandon Knight]

The disagreement and falling out of Batman and Robin was reasonably well handled in Batman & Robin (this is at a push, I utterly dispise this film)

 

[Quasimod0]

Some of the worst CBMs featured some great casting choices.

Green Lantern- Mark Strong was perfect for Sinestro

X-Men 3- Kelsey Grammer was perfect as Beast.

Wolverine Origins: Schrieber was great as Sabretooth, Kevin Durand was a great pick for Blob, and I thought Taylor Kitsch was a fine Gambit

Fantastic Four 1 and 2: Chris Evans and Michael Chiklis were excellent as Johnny and Ben. And I thought the Surfer was cool as well.

Superman Returns: I liked Brandon Routh as Superman and thought he could've done a lot better with a better script that gave Superman more personality. I feel the same way about Cavill.

 

[Napoleon]

X-Men Origins: Wolverine - Hugh Jackman was in the best shape of his life (and I say this as a straight male).

Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes - Tim Roth is hilarious as General Thade in a so bad it's good sort of way.

Iron Man 2 - Mickey Rourke really cared about his role as Whiplash.

Star Trek Into Darkness - Benedict Cumberbatch was an excellent villain, the cast still has great chemistry.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug - Once again, Benedict Cumberbatch.

 

[childeroland]

ScarJo looks really hot in Iron Man 2.

Ditto Natalie Portman in Thor 2.

Henry Cavill and Amy Adams are well-cast in Man of Steel. And it's nice to see Laurence Fishburne as Perry White. Michael Shannon is terrific.

 

[T-Ray]

Some of the movies that disappointed my expectations:

- Mortal Kombat: Annihilation - character Smoke looked cool and I didn't mind that he had Sector's "powers".

- The Incredible Hulk - Emil Blonsky/Abomination was kinda awesome and Tim Roth was the only actor that gave a crap in that film, IMO.

- TF: RotF - had some of the coolest robot designs in all of TF movies.

- The Dark Knight Rises - Bane.

- XMO: Wolverine - Hugh Jackman, as always.

- Green Lantern - I absolutely love costume designs and all of alien designs. CGI is kinda iffy, maybe they should have done it with less CGI, but designs and design choices were good.

 

[MrsKent26]

Superman Returns had a very moving trailer.

Blake Lively was beautiful as usual in Green Lantern.

Groot is an adorable character in Guardians of the Galaxy (especially that scene at the end with mini-groot ).

 

[mclay18]

- Batman & Robin had Alicia Silverstone. I love Alicia Silverstone. She's probably the best part of every movie she's ever been in.

QFT

I can kinda see why people rally against Silverstone in B&R, but the script didn't do her ANY favors at all -- Barbara's revised origins would be forgivable if the script was good.

I liked her scenes with Michael Gough and Uma Thurman too.

 

[Victarion]

Thor 2 had some neat alien worlds.

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

X3 - Had some excellent scenes like Xaviers death and pretty much any early scene with Jean

Iron Man 3 - The CGI was good

Spider-Man 3 - Sandman and the scenes where the black suit looked alien and alive were great

 

[Spider-Aziz]

^Spider-Man 3, not 2.

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

Yep yep. Typed wrong

 

[TheSpectacular]

Fan4stic-....**** I got nothing

 

[Fosterson]

Transformers RoTF - The forest fight was pretty epic

X-Men 3 - Seeing Magneto lift the Golden Gate Bridge was cool

Iron Man 2 - The scene in Monaco was spectacular

X-Men Borigins - Liev Schreiber was a great Sabretooth

Man of Steel - Ummm, the Superman costume looked pretty good, I guess?

 

[BoredGuy]

X-Men Origins- Scheriber and Reynolds (for his 5 seconds of screen time) almost make the film rewatchable

Fantastic Four 1 & 2- Chiklis, Gruffudd, and Evans were all great in their parts

X-Men First Class- McAvoy and Fassbender were stellar, as were the vfx

TDKR- the cinematography was pretty

Man of Steel- nobody can ever claim Snyder doesn't make some gorgeous looking movies

 

[Batmannerism]

X-Men origins: Stryker "Your country needs you "

Logan "I'm Canadian"

 

[hopefuldreamer]

Spiderman 3 - The Harry vs Peter fight

Man of Steel - Snyder's translation of comic panels to screen

Superman Returns - 'Now fly'

 

[Batmannerism]

Spiderman 3 - The Harry vs Peter fight

Yeah, I really enjoyed that, both Maguire and Franco did a great job of bringing out all the repressed envy and hurt between the two characters.......and Harry's sacrifice - it was a great resolution to the love triangle.

I'm also the only person I know who liked the "evil disco Peter Parker" scene where he's jive walking down the street.

I loved that, it was hilarious - people hate it but in a pretty average film, it was a real highlight ( man, Kirsten Dunst was terrible in that movie, in fact the whole MJ-PP plot/story was awful). But seeing PP doing his little dance, ah magic !

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Spider-Man 3 - The Harry vs Peter fight

Which one?

 

[henzINNIT]

Good ones listed so far. I love Spider-Man 3 despite its flaws, so I can't really include it. The effects, action and JK Simmons are all huge pluses for it though.

- Kelsey was indeed fantastic as Beast in X3. Ellen Page was a great choice for Kitty too.

- The cast for the most part was good in Wolverine Origins, all totally wasted of course. Liev and Jackman did a pretty good job building the characters' complex rivalry whenever the script allowed it.

- Anne Hathaway was brilliant as Catwoman in TDKR. Bane was bizarre and intimidating and hilarious in equal measure. Certainly memorable.

- Chris Evans had a lot of fun as Johnny Storm. The only actor I can think of to nail two, very different, major comic book roles.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

re-watching Man of Steel recently (with all that talk about Kryptonians having to adapt to earths atmosphere/and how young Clark had trouble breathing) it actually got me thinking about Superman Returns, with little Jason always puffin on that inhaler

I don't know if it was intentional? but if they were going for the same concept (that being part alien Jason struggled to adapt to earth air) then it adds more depth to that movie then I gave it credit for...
(still loses some points for not example that on screen, tho)

 

[Victarion]

X-3: The Cure plot was pretty interesting, even if other elements didn't work for me.

 

[hopefuldreamer]

Yeah, I really enjoyed that, both Maguire and Franco did a great job of bringing out all the repressed envy and hurt between the two characters.......and Harry's sacrifice - it was a great resolution to the love triangle.

Yeah, the Green Goblin aspects of the Movie I didn't hate. I mean, some of the Harry stuff was annoying, but it was much much better than their handling of Venom and the Symbiote.

Which one?

The glider one.

 

[superboy13]

Catwoman was the best part of TDKR and the tunnels sequence (right up until Batman finds Tom Hardly Bane) was pure comic-book awesomeness.

The rest of the movie is poo.

 

[Batmannerism]

Which one?

The fight at Harry's appartment, where he taunts Peter with the
"strawberries" comment. At that moment, friendship gets thrown aside
and IT IS ON !

this one : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9ggbkxmaRs

Because it's so nasty, and it makes Harry's sacrifice at the end more meaningful, that he could forgive Peter for everything.

Ugh. One thing I forgot about, that really pissed me off about SM 3...... Spider Sense, as in the writers forgot that Peter had it in the first two movies (especially in SM 2) but it mysteriously disappeared in SM 3.
