Movies you thought you'd never like...

This weekend we sat at home and watched movie after movie and we came upon TRON (the new one). I didn't want to watch it at all but it turns out that I actually enjoyed it very much. LOL! :laugh:

So what movie were you reluctant to watch but ended up liking after all?

Lord of the Rings or the Harry Potter movies.

Meet Joe Black... Seemed like a chick flick... was pretty good.

I absolutely refused to watch "Twilight". All the hype drove me nuts and then when the second one came out even more hype!! My sis in law slipped the "twilight" dvd in my purse. I was bored at work so I popped it in, and what do ya know? I loved it!!!

Dora The Explorer Saves the Mermaids. I cried at the ending.

Piranha 3D. A few of us watched it at mine and we had so much jokes over it.

I did not like Scream 4. Terrible!

I agree - i did the same thing - did NOT want to watch it because i felt i was "burnt out" on it already from the hype - a friend of mine talked me into watching it and i really enjoyed it!

I never thought I would like the movie Eat, Pray, Love. But I really ended up liking it....

Agreed. Even an obligatory shower scene would not have improved that movie.

I agre, Meet Joe Black is a great movie!

How about movies I thought I'd love and absolutely hated instead? Like Breakfast at Tiffany's....that was a snoozefest, guess I missed the hype.


Back to the topic...

I thought I'd hate Twilight but I can tolerate it at the very least so that's something. Also I originally thought the latest Bale series of Batman was going to be yet another failed attempt to bring back the superhero movie but I was wrong. I think it's the best attempt yet.

If I'm reluctant to watch a movie, I tend to not watch it...

Dora The Explorer Saves the Mermaids. I cried at the ending.

Really? Hmmm, I might have to watch this with my kid now - she's been wanting to watch it for a while.

I don't usually watch any movies that I don't have some sort of interest in to begin with, but when my husband made me watch The Edge; I liked it more than I thought I would.

I just took my girls to Dolphin Tale, because they wanted to see it soooooo bad. I thought it was going to be a cheesy dumb kids movie and I love it! It was a great movie! Even my husband liked it

Lord of the Rings
Harry Potter
Star Wars


But when I gave them a chance I found I love them all

What about this. Great cast, great story but nothing happened.

Clash of the Titans.

I spent money to watch it in 3D, where was the 3D I ask you.

All in all. PANTS, TOILET. and part 2 is out next year. So so very sad.
On a brighter note, Mads Mikellson looked looooovverllyyyy!

Oh! That was too much $ for Clash of The Titans in 3D. We waited till it came out on DVD...LOL!

"No Strings Attached", I'm not a fan of Ashton or Natalie (I felt pressured to make a decision at the Redbox Machine so I went with romantic comedy) and turns out, it was amusing! And now I get to tell people they eat like a baby dinosaur.

The Hangover 1 & 2
Star Wars

What?!?! Breakfast at Tiffany's is AWESOME! Next you're going to say you didn't like "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof"! Yeesh.

As a rule, I avoid over-hyped popular movies (The one exception is Harry Potter), and I stick to classics, independents, or foreign. I'm very rarely let down. Yes, I'm a movie snob.

I tried really hard to hate Avatar but I'm too much of a hippie not to like that story.

Fast Five. I absolutely love Vin Diesel in Fast & Furious, but all the other movies after that one just really sucked. I thought for sure Fast Five would as well. I was wrong. There were parts of it that were rather stupid, but I actually enjoyed it. Not really loved, but did enjoy.

I don't know why, but I put off seeing Inception until this past weekend. I guess I felt like I was being a rebel not watching it with all the hype about it when it came out. I LOVED it but I was also very intimidated to go to sleep that night...

I am a HUGE movie lover..but i just couldn't get interested in Lord of the Rings...until my husband made me watch them. I enjoyed them, although I still didn't love them.

And the new Nightmare on Elm Street. I really thought that it was going to suck bad since Robert Englund wasn't in it, but i loved it.

And finally, I have to say (since my all-time fave movie is The Terminator) that I was really really excited to see Rise of the Machines, but that movie was so terrible I am sad to say I actually own it. So when they came out with number 4 I wasn't interested--AT ALL. but a friend rented it one night and I really enjoyed it.
