Movies everybody else loves, that you could do without

Bridesmaids - I mean really? And for an Oscar nomination to have come out of this drek is even worse!

YES THIS IS THE WORST FILM I'VE EVER HAD TO SIT THROUGH :yawn:

Yes! I forgot about this one! That movie was awful... I laughed once, maybe twice. I figure if I keep looking at the clock wondering how much is left, then that's not a good movie. I felt that way about Blair Witch Project too.

HATED that movie!

I don't even know where to start, honestly.

Star Wars (or Star Trek, I don't know which is which). I refuse to watch, looks really dumb!

Any of the Indiana Jones movies. Ditto. Refuse to watch.

Any romantic comedy. They are all the same.

Anything with that one girl. Catherine High or something. Hate her with a passion!

I could go on forever.

As soon as you said "Refuse to watch" your opinion became invalid. How can you possibly pass judgement on movies by your own admission you haven't even seen?

as a category: most of Tarantino movies. I remember seeing Pulp Fiction and quite liking it but something after that (Kill Bill 1??) I only managed to get through part of it and could never bring myself to watch anything by Tarantino ever again. yuck.

The thing I love about Tarantino is his ability to write really good, believable, relevant dialogue. I've only seen a handful of his movies, but the dialogue has always been my favourite part of almost all of them. A lot of people that I've talked to complain that there's too much talking, but I don't mind it because it's so well-written and I absolutely love it. Death Proof is probably one of my all-time favourite movies and definitely my favourite Tarantino film. But to each their own!

The Hunger Games was actually good! I was expecting a twilight crap fest but it was violent and just all around great in my opinion. I would recommend it!

I like it better the first time around when it was called The Running Man with Arnold S.

Running Man was awesome, but in truth it's not even close to The Hunger Games. Now, Battle Royale could be considered the true inspiration for The Hunger Games, hehehe it's awesome!!

"Boy in the Stripped Pajamas", or "Katyn" (Polish film - AMAZING),

Both of those are really great

Patton Oswalt, a standup comedian, did a bit on one of his first HBO specials about a locally famous film critic in Virginia who wrote for the local newspaper. What made him famous (at least locally) was that he never actually saw a lot of the movies and wrote his reviews based entirely on the trailers and what he heard second hand from people who watched it. This of course made him the butt of many jokes as people did not pay any attention whatsoever to his reviews. This guy kind of reminds me of that.

Also I suppose it's not a movie that EVERYBODY raved about like some others mentioned, but when Sweeney Todd came out I was pretty excited to see it. I really like Tim Burton for the most part. But that one really fell flat for me.

I'll join in on the Star Wars hate. I don't hate it, it's okay, but honestly I get pretty bored watching it and there ends up being big chunk of plot and stuff that I miss because I'm so bored. Like people know all the characters and planet names and stuff in great detail and I'm like wow, you were actually paying that much attention? And I've seen each movie probably at least 3x each. I don't know if I'll be able to bring myself to watch the new ones coming out, especially with Disney involved. Although Lucas has really gone downhill (my God, that last Indiana Jones movie with the aliens, he ought to be thrown in jail for that one) so maybe it'll actually be an improvement.

I've recently been turned into a bit of a Star Trek fan though.

Not fans of either Will Ferrell or Ben Stiller. The only movies I've ever seen that featured them that I could stand were movies that had them in supporting roles, not as the main stars. The only possible exceptions to that are Talladega Nights and Tropic Thunder. I say possible because I have to think long and hard about it.

Also, anything with Jim Carrey. I don't mind Bruce Almighty though.

It's the opposite for me. Anything with Jim Carrey, I either love or really want to see!

Everyone on here (including me) hated Titanic. But, we all watched it!! Someone did some good marketing for that movie.

ArchangelMJ

The Wizard of Oz and, many years later, Star Wars.

WHAT?!?!?!?:noway:


I apologized to my date when we went to see Casino.... we left...only movie I have ever walked out of!

To echo your post, WHAAAT!? Casino was awesome, almost as good as Goodfellas, I loved it! I guess if you don't like gangsta flicks it may not be your thing...

People keep saying Titanic, but I loved that movie and I don't even like romances very often.

I must say that I've never enjoyed The Wizard of Oz either. Also, The Exorcist, I watched it as a child and didn't find it anywhere near as scary as some people made it out to be. It was on the boring side to me.

Casablanca
Godfather films (Even though I LOVE mob films, I didn't like these. Maybe I need to watch them again.)

Patton Oswalt is a tool box. He is so unfunny, it hurts!

Casino and Goodfellas were virtually the same movie.

Fun fact about Casino. Frank Cullota—renamed "Frank Marino" and portrayed by actor Frank Vincent in the film was hired as a technical advisor for the movie (he had turned state's evidence in exchange for blanket immunity). When they shot the murder of Sherwin Lisner. (the Costa Rica murder) Cullota was on the set. After the first take Cullota turned to Nicholas Pileggi and told him "That wasn't how it happened at all" and proceeded to describe the killing. At this point Pileggi realizes that Cullota actually DID the murder. He quickly spoke to Scorsese and they pulled Frank Vincent, put Cullota in wardrobe and reshot the scene. So when you see the movie, the guy shown killing Shervin Lister in his house in Costa Rica is the guy WHO ACTUALLY KILLED Sherwin Lisner.

Forgot to add... I can't remember the name, but it is a recent Nicholas Sparks movie..... I laughed at certain parts and people were not pleased..... I really just gotta give the ladies and gents pats on their backs for going to see these romances with their SO's....
I egged my sister for two weeks after we saw it.
