Big Movies You Love, but the Majority Hates.

Evil Dead is the best I can come up with.

I liked Matrix 2 and 3, too.

I also think The Shawshenk Redemption is extremely overrated to the point of making me sick. Even in 1994, a guy trying to escape from prison wasn't a new premise to cinema. And Morgan Freeman always has to play the magical negro stock-character in every film he appears in.

The premise of the movie has nothing to do with people's fondness towards it. The reason so many people love it is because of its heart and soul. Add to that some excellent cinematography and note-perfect acting.

Yep.

It seems like the vast majority of people around here disliked Cloverfield. I thought it was great.

- The Matrix sequels - The best sci fi concept in film ever, i think.

- Superman Returns - I've only met one person personally out of many that liked the film.

- Daredevil - Haven't met anyone that like that one but i liked it alot. Even went to watch it at theatres. hm. 5yrs ago yesterday actually. 2/14/o3(?) think it was 'o3

- War of the Worlds

- Jason X

- Freddy vS Jason

- Spiderman 1

- Dinsney's Tarzan, Cars

SW Ep 1 is pretty good, Binks is a loathsome idea created 'for the kids' with unfunny scenes and a sheer aura of annoyance. Then again any film that has up to 4 reedits is good for me.

Matrix sequels weren't....bad...to me, but felt mediocre save for the fight scenes.

Superman Returns. If you ignore the campy Luthor the it is a nice little gem, featuring less focus on his powers and more on his interaction with people and the public.

I REALLY don't understand why people diss Daredevil...really I don't.

I can't really talk about WotW considering I was a big fan of the book, thus i'd love it even if it was about cows taking a shit.

Jason X was cheesy, but in a fun way, same with FvJ.

Spiderman 1 ? WTF

Tarzan was great ! Cars was a little sappy, but the slick visuals got me.

I'll also add Ang Lee's Hulk to the list.

I enjoyed The Hulk too, looking forwards so much to Norton's!

If anyone says Alien Resurrection.. I won't be happy!

Ha ha, I enjoyed Alien Resurrection actually 🙂

I never said I thought it sucked. I enjoyed it and think its a good movie, but how it consistently makes "Greatest Films of All Time" lists is beyond me. Especially when you consider that Morgan Freeman played the same character in that movie as he as in every other one he's been in.

Just like the Beatles, Las Vegas and In-N-Out, The Shawshenk Redemption is overrated.

Majority is a pretty big number. If a majority hates it, there must be something wrong with it.

Not always............

I thought The Island was ok, cant think of any others right now, and I enjoyed Alien Ressurection also, and Alien 3 that gets a lot of flack

"Tremors" is highly underrated, many people dislike it cause they think it's a crappy horror movie, rather than a spoof/homage.

Because Evil Dead is a "cult classic" it is, by definition, hated or at least unkown to the majority.

Tremors is a classic!

Na, just a few you had imagined it would be some cookie-cutter giant-monster-attacks-city film, ala Godzilla. They simply can not understand the premise of the film.

It's similar to saying you hated The Godfather, because it wasn't a romantic-comedy.

I definitely have to give a nod to The Hulk.

I can see why people didn't like it, but similarly I don't think it deserved to get ripped.
