Movie Movies you hate but most people seem to like.

[Xtreme]

LOTR
Star Wars

Zoolander
Tropic Thunder
Dodgeball
Baseketball

Virtually every Adam Sandler movie used to love him in '96 - '99, can't stand them today.

* I don't mind Ben Stiller, but quite a number of movies he is in.... i have wound up disliking. Don't get the hype with Dodgeball, saw Tropic Thunder on dvd the other night... had it's moments, but overall i found it to be very average - borderline crap.

 

[mantis]

Starwars
LOTR
Spiderman
Superman
Passion of the Christ
Titanic
King Cong
ROCKY I bloody hate that crap
The Ring
Oceans 11
8 Mile, the list goes on

I think on Facebook, most of my friends are like no greater than 60%compatability. I'm out there.

I agree with you on all but The Ring, love that movie.

Also dislike the Die Hard movies & most movies which rely on special effects to make money, rather than a good plot, acting etc.

Most of the best movies ever made, don't have special effects, they don't need them.

Someone had to.

Someone had to.

Not sure if you are agreeing with me or not.

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

I don't mind The Ring, but wouldn't you say it relies on special effects more than good acting, good plot etc?

Not the Japanese version.

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Ahh, of course. Never saw the Japanese version of The Ring, but Ju-on (The Grudge) was a very good Japanese horror.

 

[Athomas]

Lord of the Rings.

Lord of The Rings and Dodgeball.

LOTR

Yawn.

Yes, LOTR.

[Pivo]

Any James Bond movie - the Daniel Craig 'Casino Royale' was tolerable but wasn't anything special for mine.

I thought 'The Departed' was pretty over-rated.

'Transformers' - gawd, I saw this on Foxtel last week, what a complete load of $hit.

'Pirates of the Caribbean' - fell asleep in the second one, flatly refuse to see the third.

I'd say 'Titanic' but I've never watched it so I might like it - zero ambition to actually attempt a viewing though.

And, probably because I'm a guy but 'Sex in the City' (series and movie).

EDIT - late entry, the movie 'Crash'. Tried watching it, got 15 minutes in and had to turn it off. Just didn't get what the hype surrounding it was.

 

[Burzum]

Star Wars
LOTR

 

[Xtreme]

Harold & Kumar 1 & 2

I didn't mind the Doogie Howser appearances, and the 'bottomless party' in the sequel. But other than that, i didn't enjoy them and don't think they are as good as what many say. Coming from the mind(s) that created 'dude where's my car' - it's no wonder why i dislike them.

 

[hawk for 37]

OK Mario, Donnie Darko won some awards. But so did The English Patient!!!

Still think it was overhyped s**t.

 

[RobbieGray17]

Oh and any movie that comes out stating

"A Heartwarming story" ....Screw that s**t.

"A thought provoking journey" Wtf are they thinking with that s**t.
Inspiring.
"Time Magazine voted this the best movie of the year" So bloody what.

That is true though. You sit there thinking "Why did I fork out 16 bucks to see this s**t?" and you leave thinking "I wonder how I will ever get those two hours of my life back?"

I was pissed off that the new Keanu movie on Boxing day is shown some 14 days after America, but now I'm happy, Its had so many negative reviews, from genuine Keanu fans, whereas The Island that I loved was bashed by the critics, they know F All

 

[footy4ever]

Anything acted in, written by, produced by or directed by Woody Allen.

Rocky 2 - 57

Lord of the Rings

Mystic Pizza

 

[Ill Chicken]

95% of the movies that are made.

James Bond movies.
War of the Worlds (Remake)
King Kong (Remake)

 

[footy4ever]

Every footballer's favourite Film: Shawshank Redemption.

I was getting to this one. At best, its an ok movie, but to hear it roll off the tongue of seemingly every footy player when asked the favourite movie question, sheeesh.

 

[rupert pupkin 87]

Don't know if most of the general public liked it but I have no idea why Babel was acclaimed so highly by critics. Technically good in some scenes and some decent acting but an average story and an average film

 

[Hard Ball Get]

Sin City

Shrek

Bond Films

Star Wars

Indiana Jones

Agree, it was ordinary. Don't think it was very popular at all. There is a huge chasm sometimes between what the "critics" love, and what Joe Public enjoys.

I personally wait to see which movies Leigh Paatch raves about, and then avoid them.

 

[blues4flag]

Could not stand 300. I thought the specials effects made the movie look horribly constricted.

Agree also. It was CGI rubbish. The leader of the attacker (forget their real name) just looked like a giant over made up gay dude. Was supposed to be some sort of god, but was just laughably sad.
