think about it, this is exact opposite of my other thread. List five movies that you absolutely hate, but everybody else (a.k.a. the rest of the retarded people in this forum) liked for some reason or another.

1. Freddy versus Jason - what a load of shit, if they ever make leather face versus pinhead I'm gonna kill myself.

2. the saw franchise - piss poor movies that are all want to be Texas chainsaw mixed with seven.

3. finding Nemo - I guess it is don't get it, but it I can't really enjoy a movie about a god damn fish stick. I couldn't get into the characters, that stupid ass turtle is really annoying. Everything about the movie pisses me off and if I keep talking about it I'm going to end up punching the shit out of my keyboard.

4. monster House - I won't say I really hate it from the bottom of my heart. But I went into the theater with everybody's hype surrounding this film, and to me it was subpar, especially from a movie that's got the backing of Robert Zemeckis. Kevin James was severely underused and if it weren't for the fact that I watched it 3-DI would have been completely bored out of my mind

5. the Godfather - okay, attack me. I could give a shit. I bought the Godfather box set for my collection and tried to watch the first film, originally about three years ago. Since I have tried to watch it two more times and every time I am so god damn bored I end up falling asleep. I suppose if I want to watch a movie that has nothing happening in the entire film. I can just watch Napoleon dynamite

there it is retards.

to make no no-longer-internet-friend Sandstone happy (though, at the moment i don't think I can come up with 5... go easy on me, I'm sick):

*Superman Returns- mostly because I hate superman and Kevin Spacey was given a crappy part to work with
*Napolean Dynomite- I just thought it kind of dumb
*Jackass The Movie- I'm sure I'd hate the second one too, if I were going to see it


that's all I can think of for now...

Hmmm..............

Shark Tale – I severly disliked this movie because it was a knock-off of Finding Nemo, which I really did like. Plus, it was full of stereotypical black/Italian/any other-type behavior, which isn't good when you're trying to make a kids film.

Rat Race – Too many semi-funny things happening at once. It was just too over-the-top.

Doom – The Rock was trying too hard and wasn't really convincing. The other characters were alright, but it just ended up being a mediocre sci-fi flick.

The Friday the 13th franchise – Jason just never really scared me. The fact that he needed to kill EVERYBODY despite whether or not they had something to do with the storyline always bugged me. His mom wasn't the most believable serial killer either.

Grease - I guess I just don't like the fact that a girl has to change everything about her in order for a guy to like her.

The Mummy series - they just feel like ripoffs of the inifinitely better Indiana Jones series. and the dialogue always felt so corny. The only person who was ever funny in the movie was the guy who played Rachel Weisz's brother.

Final Destination series - ok, I don't know if everyone loves these movies, but a lot of people must since they won't stop making more.

The Underworld series - the acting in that is so awful

A Knight's Tale - did anyone here like it? It seems like everyone I know loves that movie, but I just hate it. It's so smug with it's goddamn midevil peasants singing Queen. I guess I'm too big a fan of historicaly accurate films. (Wash was funny, though)

Godfather - dude InvaderZim/Sandstone I totally agree with you on this one. Boring. Makes 2001 look like super action.

I forgot to add the Bourne movies. They're competent action movies but I utterly despise them because of what they could have been. They would be soooooo much better had they followed the books more closely. Seriously, the things they changed were perfectly suited for a trilogy of action movies that would keep pulling audiences back, arch nemesis and all. Whoever wrote the scripts turned them into generic incoherent CIA spy movies.

If by "dated" you mean "timeless and hilarious", then I am totally with you.

hulk (but did anyone like it?)

The only people who like that movie are communists. You don't wanna be a dirty commie, do ya Timmy?

Any-durn-way...

Romeo and Juliet (the modernized one): I LOVE shakespeare, probably more than a straight man should, but sweet christmas did Leo and Kate even read the damn thing before they started "acting" in this over styalized piece of garbage?

Rocky Horror Picture Show: Yeah... so about that... Tim Curry is a hottie, no doubt, and we all love doing the time warp again, but after the ending with the mind controlled burlesque show and the aliens and all that sh*t... I just wanted those 17 hours of my life back... wait, it was how long?

Batman: Michael. Keaton. Looks. Like. A. Douche. He's just awful in every way, not to mention he's two friggin' feet tall! And I'm sorry, I know this is sacrelige.. but Jackie Boy is not good as the Joker. Thin and psychotic? The Joker. Jack was creepy in a "that uncle I avoid at family reunions" kind of way, which is a whole different kind of scary.

I Heart Huckabees: I couldn't even finish the damn thing. Now, I was a Philosophy major in college (most useful degree EVER), and I took a full year of metaphysics, and this movie still doesn't make any sense. Don't most movies actually need to have a plot?

High Fidelity:... Nah, just **ckin' with you. This movie's brilliant. Go watch it right now.

2. Napoleon Dynamite
3. The Breakfast Club
4. Empire Records
5. Daredevil

The first 4 seem to have a pretty heavy cult following, which I just don't get. I'd like to think they've forgotten that the movies aren't that great, and just like to say they enjoyed the flicks to seem cool or "indie" or intelligent or whatever, just so they can be part of that cult.

As far as daredevil, it seems 50/50 on this board, but I can't tell you how many fights I got into with my old roommate about how much it really does blow.

-Butterfly Effect -- This movie isn't deep. This movie isn't smart.
-V for Vendetta -- I didn't *hate* this, but I dislike the fact that people think it is so insightful. It details that totalitarianism is bad. Really? You don't say.
-Boondock Saints -- Every 16 -25 yr olds masturbatory fantasy. Duffy took everything that made Pulp Fiction great and managed to make it stupid and repetitive.
-Lost in Translation -- Sophia Coppola wouldn't be anywhere if her last name wasn't shared by a legend in film making. Boring, and pretentious. That last "whisper" is the most annoying technique ever employed.
-Pay It Forward -- emotionally manipulative and poorly created.

11-09-2006, 02:14 PM
Lost in Translation - completely boring to me. It wasn't horrible, I just thought it would be this grand revelation and it just wasn't.

Moulin Rouge - I'll take Chicago thank you. I can't stand Baz Luhrman, but everyone else seemed to bust one with this musical.

Gladiator - Sorry, not an award winning offering. Just a nice action flick.

The Blair Witch Project - I wasn't scared, but I was very, very nauseous.

The Truman Show - Another Oscar try by Carrey. He's a great actor, but this one fell kind of flat for me.

Funny, there are several movies listed that baffle me. The Hulk? Now I've recently found a few people who appreciate this one like me, but the majority of the populace seemed to hate it. Which is why no one was clamoring to do a sequel.

I don't agree with you guys. I loved Napolean Dynamite. It brought back memories of my exchange student times in Utah :)

I do agree about Dony Darko, I don't see the genius behind it. I really don't.

Lost in Translation, Another non event movie. Nothing Happens, just two bored Americans in Japan. That's it.

Lord of the Rings, too much elf gobbly gook, so I say no to that, even the theatrical cuts are waaay to long, couldn't imagine sitting through the 6 hour DVD editions

Spider Man, only seen the first one, and I didn't like it. The green Gobblin looked like a villain from the power rangers. I didn't buy any of that movie.

The first Matrix. I found the second one rubbish too and haven't seen the third, but people keep raving on how good and original the first one was. Firstly it wasn't original, there have been chosen one stories in the bible. Like Mozes for instance. Looking good? I find most films done in Sydney are cheap looking (Except Garage days one of my favorite Australian Movies). I dunno how you guys are with recognising the street where you buy second hand CDs, but that cheapens the 'magic' for me. For instance Mission impossible 2 seemed to me like Water Rats (Local cop show on water) with Tom Cruise in it.

11-09-2006, 02:37 PM
The Matrix - I came out of the theater unimpressed and thinking how the ending was a rip off of The Fifth Element.

Titanic - Millions of teenage girls can be and usually are wrong.

Nacho Libre - again, unimpressed...not a lot of laugh out loud moments

Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest - A sequel can still be a self contained movie where there is a plot and stuff actually happen no?

Blair Witch Project - just a waste of my time.

iggystar
11-09-2006, 02:50 PM
There are quite a few movies from the 70's that I probably should have seen years ago, like Taxi Driver and A Clockwork Orage. Not that I hated them, but they didn't hold me spellbound as they've done for millions.

Firstly it wasn't original, there have been chosen one stories in the bible. Like Mozes for instance.

I didn't know there was an alternate spelling of Moses. Yeah, I know the story, but there's also a little verse in the Bible that goes something like.."there's nothing new under the sun." Really, much of everything we see is borrowed in some way or the other. The whole movie was filled with philisophical and religious themes ranging from the Christianity (Neo, Trinity, chosen one) to Buddism, as with most concepts it was about the execution for me.

I've heard of people who didn't like The Matrix. While I respect their opinions, I just don't understand them. :)

All my friends were like "Braah you gotta check this out, braaah" And when I finally did I felt extremely bored, to me it was like they were trying to be the Punisher but did a horrible job. I should quit taking movie advice from people that call me "Braaaahh.."

I really don't like Spiderman 1, mostly because I hate the entire cast, and they lack real emotion and believability.

Ooops, I allways make retarded spelling mistakes, After 12 years of living in an English speaking country I have no excuses! Actually I do. I've been dropped on the head :P

As for the taste thing, some people like blue others red. I'll give most thing a chance, and I f I don't I'll try not to pass judgement. I actually set through all 3 Lord of the ring films as everybody went to see it. I allways turned down the first offers to go, but friends kept urging, but I don't see what's 'classic' about it.

As for the Matrix, I think people see too much into it. I went in with my then Girl Friend really looking forward to it, but before we sat down I told her I hope it's not a chosen one movie. Neo was the f*cking chosen one. He went on his merry quest through George and Elizbeth street, la di da, things happened and so on. The FX were good, and it was good to see Hugo Weaving in a Hollywood role as I find him an awesome actor. Everyone raves about this movie I don't see it, and that was theme of the thread, right ?

The carebears movie was crap, I was hoping to be some 80s camp fun, but it's just rubbish!

Opinions, especially differing ones, are pretty much the point of forums in general. I get yours, believe me I respect yours, but for me when someone doesn't like The Matrix I just don't understand. There are plenty of other movies I love that I can understand why someone doesn't like it say Unbreakable, but not this one. :)

oh yeah... I thought I told this story before, but here goes anyway;

My (now ex)stepfather and his brother and sisters all do movie editing and scoring (Elmer Bernstein is(was:( ) my "uncle" because they mostly worked with him and he spent a lot of holidays with us when I was growing up)

Anyway, one of my aunts was doing the scoring for Rat Race and she had a copy of the movie (waaaaay before it came out) that didn't have any background sound at all... just whatever was picked up with booms (so mostly the actors voices, and "action" scenes where there is no dialog were completely silent... good stuff!) I borrowed it and watched it with a couple of my girlfriends one weekend (we laughed our asses off btw) and we decided it would be really funny to tell our friends that we came up with this really great idea for a movie, and then would tell our friends the basic storyline behind Rat Race. We'd quote stupid things from the movie, then look at eachother and say, "we should totally put that in our movie!!" Months later the movie came out and all our friends thought it was a great joke... so did Seth when I told him the story a few months ago, I believe his exact words were, "my buddies and I would have totally done the same thing in high school"

My (now ex)stepfather and his brother and sisters all do movie editing and scoring (Elmer Bernstein is(was:( ) my "uncle" because they mostly worked with him and he spent a lot of holidays with us when I was growing up)

Anyway, one of my aunts was doing the scoring for Rat Race and she had a copy of the movie (waaaaay before it came out) that didn't have any background sound at all... just whatever was picked up with booms (so mostly the actors voices, and "action" scenes where there is no dialog were completely silent... good stuff!) I borrowed it and watched it with a couple of my girlfriends one weekend (we laughed our asses off btw) and we decided it would be really funny to tell our friends that we came up with this really great idea for a movie, and then would tell our friends the basic storyline behind Rat Race. We'd quote stupid things from the movie, then look at eachother and say, "we should totally put that in our movie!!" Months later the movie came out and all our friends thought it was a great joke... so did Seth when I told him the story a few months ago, I believe his exact words were, "my buddies and I would have totally done the same thing in high school"

how do you know seth green or did you just run into him?

I envy you. Seth Green is a God. robot chicken has got to be one of the funny shows on TV today, I also really love rat race. Hook me up god dammit. I even ended up buying the extended box set of robot chicken. The one with the viewfinder. After I already bought the regular box set.

oh yeah, how gay am I, one of my favorite all-time movies is, can't hardly wait.

The Day After Tomorrow pissed me off cause there's a book with the same title that I absolutely loved and when I first hear about it, I thought they were making a movie of the book and was pissed when I heard what the movie was going to be about. And now when people see the book on my shelf or I tell them how much I like the book they look at me weird cause they think it's a book version of the movie.

Lost in Translation - Give an amateur filmmaker a plane ticket to a foreign country and have him make a home movie about his experiences. That's Lost in Translation in a nutshell. This sort of stuff isn't meant for theaters.

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith - The worst of the Star Wars movies. The trailer made so many promises and killed them all off. The long-awaited Wookie battle? Lasted 5 seconds. The battle with General Grevious? What happened to the badass we saw in Clone Wars? This guy's a *****; same for Count Dooku. First 20 minutes? Boring. Writing and dialogue? Awful. I could go on...

Austin Powers in Goldmember - You could tell that they've jumped the shark with this one with the change of villains and plot. Dr. Evil making ransoms to threaten the world is when the franchise is at its best, and Goldmember started to detract from that. I'm glad the movie franchise stopped here instead of continued on.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest - Just didn't live up to the first. That's all I really need to say here.

Superman - I know it's considered a classic, but I was disappointed by the first Superman movie for one reason: the ending. It just felt disjointed and moronic. Fly halfway across the country, save Lois and a bus, and fly Luthor into jail. That's it. He just drops Luthor in jail as if nothing happened. Where's the big fight to the finish? He could've at least resisted and done something, making the finalé more interesting. And the "make Earth rotate backwards to reverse time" thing is just...ugh.

Dude. nobodly like the Star Wars prequels, whatchu talking about? and did you REALLY hate Episode III over I and *pukes* II?

and also, (sorry, this is one of my favorite movies ) Lost in Translation is arguably one of the best films in the last 6 years. The fact that you know nothing about it and probably don't have the patience for it make me think that maybe you just missed the point like a lot of *ahem* people I know did. That's not an amateur film maker, it's Sofia Coppola and she's brilliant. Oh and she's also a female.

I think Roger Ebert said it best:

"Yes, yes and yes. "Lost in Translation" requires audiences to be able to pick up feelings and information on frequencies that many moviegoers don't receive on. Most of the movies most people go to see are made in such a way that not a moment's thought is required. The audience is a passive receptor for mindless sensation. When I'm told by people that they hated "Lost in Translation," I have to restrain myself from replying, "You are saying more about yourself than about the film.""

this might come as a big surprise to you, but I loved all the Star Wars prequels. Especially revenge of the Sith. That movie kicked ass. I think maybe it's because I wasn't 250 years old. When the first Star Wars came out. So I really don't appreciate it is much. oh yeah, and by the way Mark Hamill cannot act

1. Amelie- Pretentious and frustrating

3. Donnie Darko AKA "how to overdue it!"

Shakespeare in Love, old boy. Amelie terrified me from the beginning (that poster with her huge, evil eyes, peering into the darkest regions of my soul? No thank you!), and the movie was just plain creepy.

And DD is good for little more than drinking games and freaking your friends out with full volume quotes at inappropriate times (like at a wedding, screaming "I CAN SEE HIM RIGHT NOW!!!", or during sex questioning your partner's commitment to Sparkle Motion.) That whole "interpret the ending yourself" crap translates to "Yeah, I didn't know what the f*ck that meant either..."

2. Napolean Dynomite- We get it he's a loser!! thats not funny

I still havn't made up my mind about this flick yet. I'll admit that, as I watched it, I laughed at certain times, but I was also significantly dumber for a week or two after seeing this film.

5. The Incredibles- Unfunny Watchmen rip off

Ok, now we may have to fight. Like, meet me behind the... internet... at three o' clock!

Kinda like that big ole' highfalutin, "I'm smarter than you are" whisper moment at the end of Lost In Translation. That wasn't smart or deep. It was Coppola with writer's block.
