If that's the way they feel, I guess I'm a moron.
well i grew up on the comic and cartoon some so i just thought the movie was crap.. same as x-men and other marvel things they are ruining..
although i will admit the 2nd looks much better, and X2 was an improvement... so maybe it just takes them a few tries

Gladiator is, in my mind, the most overrated film ever made. It is a total rip off of sparticus in every way, not just in basic premise, but also in the more detailed aspects of the story. It did nothing new and all russel crow did was state a bunch of lame one liners in a monotone voice.
The Passion - I found it boring beyond comparison. Just a guy getting beaten in some way or another for 45 minutes. The best parts of the film were the flashbacks sequences, which we got small tidbits of jesus's past. Unfortunately instead of having more of these in order to get people to care about the character of Jesus, they elected to show us the same basic act of cruelty repeated till he died. Also it was very preachy.
Tomb Raider - Oh man, fell asleep in this one, thought it was truley horrible.
Godfather- The first hour of the film is nothign more then an itialian guy droning on about the lack of respect he gets. Has some cool scenes, but just found it boring.
Black Hawk Down - Constant action does not equate to constant excitement. It was another boring and repetitive movie much like the passion, just guns shooting and nothing more.
Matrix sequels - Pure pretentiousness. Preached and preached and flaunted it's lame, formulaic religious metaphors straight from Phylosophy 101 that were so obvious it was laughable (Yes, Neo is supposed to represent Jesus Christ, we get it, stop droning on about it. No one cares). Top it off by starring Keanuu Reeves and throw in a love story with two people that have zero chemestry and you got yourself a movie with little too offer.
Rules of Attraction - This movie was one big gimmick. It was like a student film in the fact that they did all sorts of crap that had no purpose other then simply being wierd. Like the rewind sequences seemed to be thrown in there simply because it made the film seem interesting to those who can't recognize the difference between something that's creative and smart, and something that may be unique, but stupid. Also a tired story of teen angst that put me to sleep.
Queen of the Damned - Worst movie ever, a long wannabe gothic mtv propoghanda pushing music video that had a story so horrible I ached after watching it. I would have walked out of this movie but I was stuck there because my friend drove and didn't want to leave. Plus the vampires were so lame and homoerotic looking that I thought for a moment I was watching a gay porn, which it may very well actually be in disguise.

Well, I'll do you one better and and admit that I grew up on the live action television Spider Man shows, both NBC and on "The Electric Company". 😉
What was wrong with X Men the movie? Brain Singer is godly for his adaptation. It was almost flawless, and alot of others would agree.
They have to modernize these movies in order to get mainstream audiences to watch them to begin with. Everyone cries foul when Hollywood shits out remakes, but when an original movie based on a comic book makes it big, they still aren't satisfied.
C'mon people.. 😛
I thought that Spider-Man and X-Men were wonderful ✅
Also I would like to hear peoples' reasons for hating LotR 😕
Matrix 3, the ending I disliked 😬 But I don't hate the movie. I love it.
Daredevil was an overall piece of crap 😐
Charlies Angels, was nothing like it should have been, they focused on weapons and such here, whereas originally it was just kick ass girls 🤘
Scary Movie 2,3, they just plain sucked, the first was original and funny, but they should have stopped there.
The Hulk, 😘 enough said....

What are some movies that other people just love but you flat out hate?Mine:
LOTR
Both Fast & The Furious movies (+ any Vin Deasil movies)
The Sixth Sense (It was good but bored me to death)
Master and Commander
Lord of the Rings - What can I say, it just doesn't appeal to me. It was made well, I'll give it that. But I'm not a big fantasy guy and it just didn't hold my interest. Plus, I can deal with that, but not for a combined 10 hours. By that time I'm just flat out angry. Then it took 30-40 minutes to end with 6 different endings. Save some of those for the true fans in the extended DVD for the love of god. That was hell for people who aren't big fans of the movie.
Fast & the Furious - The plot in these types of movies are just weak. I think everybody just likes these because the cars are eye candy. Its almost like rap which is based way too much on image (speaking of, I hate 8-Mile too but thats only because I don't like rap). The ending scene of part 1 was just stupid as well. The cop is trying to catch up to Vin Diesel and when he does, they randomly decide to drag race (with a train coming). That was pointless and stupid.
The Sixth Sense - The ending was great. Possibly the biggest shock ever in a movie. However, to me the movie just dragged on until that part. It was good acting, but it was so monotone the whole time and made me want to sleep. They talked slow and quiet in other words.
Master and Commander - BORING AS HELL! People say how realistic it was and how it was just like being on a real ship. Well, thats nice but being out on a ship for a long time sure sounds boring to me. The whole movie there was so called suspense where they get all panicky because they see the other ship ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE ****ING OCEAN! They make it seem like its a close call but the ship is so far away. Also, where's the realism at the beginning? You know, when they can hardly see the other ship yet that ship can shoot those inaccurate cannon balls from a 1/2 mile away with 100% accuracy. I also went into that movie looking for battles, I got a 5 minute battle at the beginning, and a 10 minute battle at the end with 2 hours and 15 minutes of boredom in between. Plus, who really gives a damn about the Dr and his beloved animals.

My knowledge of Spider-man comes from the cartoons. Usually ppl just complain about the web being organic. To me that was what I most hate in the cartoon, the web being created by Peter so I liked the fact that it was organic LOL
As for X men, my knowledge again comes from cartoons, and again I appreciate Singer giving it a more down to earth look. Lets face it, ppl flying around would look lame. IMO superman is the only one who can do that 😉 And if they had the original suits 🙄 It would look as crappy as Spawn or Flash Gordon...whatever the hell its called. Again IMO.
I dont know how old Spider-man is but X-men is like 40 years old, it has changed a lot since the 1st drawings, I dont see ppl complaining about that 🤨
