Movies you love but everyone else seems to hate.

alright fine,even the 2nd and 3rd were pretty good,but that first one,with that annoying-ass young anakin skywalker and the beyond-the-impossible anoying jar jar binks.do u know how annoying a charcter must be in order to make a movie w/ fricking darth maul suck

The story in episode 1, was good, and the effects were great, and darth maul rocked. I actually have this my 2nd favorite, just because of darth maul and the lightsaber fights.
Yes Jar Jar was quite annoying, he is even more annoying in the CGI clone wars and any episodes with him are crap. That is why the cartoon clone wars from a few years ago is much better I don't think jar jar is even in it? ahmed best who played him is a tool, (he actually said there has never been a real comic character in a star wars movie) umm how about C-3po and R2?
You just have to block him out and don't let him get to you, and remember he was there for the kids, just like the ewoks, they were pretty annoying too, although not as much as jar jar.

As i said about the hulk, take nick nolte out and don't put his story into it and it may of been a good movie, but with the new one bruce's GF (liv tyler) hadn't seen him change. so the first movie is thrown out.

People don't seem to like What Dreams May Come either, but that might be due to most of the people I know not knowing it exists.

That was a good film.

o brother, where art thou.

i love this fim - but most of my friends look at me cross-eyed if i try to make them watch it.

and most old movies. movies that have the "old movie" pacing [which is a lot, lot slower than the two minute dialogue/five minute action/thirty second bridge stuff we get today.

I run into people once in a great blue moon who dont like Footloose which is one of my top 5 favorites.

😮 Aww from you I'm honoured.

I remember The Witches. Great kids movie, I thought.

I dunno about the reception of it by critics, but one of my all time will always be Fifth Element.

You named four movies that shouldn't be on there: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles(original), MMPR The Movie, Willy Wonka, and Bad Taste.

Mystery Men too, underrated film.

Well Roald Dahl didn't like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory - so much so he wouldn't sell the rights to the second book, and it's box office performance was deemed less then desirable, like many similar films it's only become popular in recent years.

Ask most Lord of the Rings fans what they think of the likes of Bad Taste, Brain Dead and Meet The Feebles and the large majority will not believe it's from the same director.

Teenage Mutant Turtles, most hardcore fans didn't like the watered down-ness of the movies.

And Power Rangers well it was hardly a movie for the critic was it?

Except that not only is the film generally deemed superior to the book(which I agree with), but it's considered to be one of the best fantasy films ever. I don't know a single person who doesn't love that movie.

That's not necessarily a bad thing.

I know a lot of Turtle fans(including myself) that love the first film's interpretation.

And Power Rangers well it was hardly a movie for the critic was it?

Nostalgia ftw.

You'll always get those hardcore fans who'll prefer the original work(s), this is a case I've seen many-a-time with fans of the likes of Dahl, Rowling, Crichton and of course King (et. all). I've come across many-a-people who'll despite Wilder and co. best efforts will stay faithful to the book and even pick holes in the silver screen adaptation.

Bad Taste (along with Brain Dead and Meet The Feebles) are those films that are so bad they're good, and from a critical perception you'll find most critics discussing Jackson's career mentioning this it wasn't until Heavenly Creatures he began and indeed the movie world began to take him seriously.

As for TMNT again like my point on Willy Wonka you'll have those who'll stay fiercely loyal to the original incarnation - in this case comics.

And yes whilst I love Power Rangers it was hardly a critical success with many a parent bored out of their skull having to sit through it with their offspring. And unlike say Toy Story or The Goonies it's not a film many people will own up to even possessing.

I love The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I've been watching it ever since I was in high school.

Everyone else I know seems to hate it.

Walk like a man.

matrix reloaded and revolutions. somehow the plot got all convoluted from all the "philosophical" references or whatnot. but i loved the first one enough to watch the rest of the stuff.
