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?

    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!!!

    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.

    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...

    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 :)

    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!

    "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.
