Movies that Everyone likes...except you.

[Nonsensical studios]

This is a thread where you can confess to movies that other people really like, yet you dont.

I'll start.


Goodfellas. I'm sorry, I just did not like it.

[glmclainmovies]

Airplane. It has it's moments but besides that, I can't watch it. I dunno why, it just is.

[MitchellStafiej]

Godfather
300
I Robot (everyone I know likes it)
Scarface
Saw (2, 3, 4)
Final Destination(s)

Mitch

[Pablo585]

All the Epic, Scary, and Disaster Movies out there. Just my (slightly idiotic) friends like them.

[ciwi286]

American Pie movies...Everyone I know likes them...there just not for me!

[Mattageddon]

Big Daddy. It was kinda funny I guess... but not the best thing I've ever seen.

[anomalie]

Napoleon Dynamite. It's just... annoying.

[Nonsensical studios]

2001: A space Oddyssey.

The Parts with HAL were great, but Everything else couldve been cut.

[Mattageddon]

Napoleon Dynamite. It's just... annoying.

Seconded.


EDIT: Oh... Jumper.... definitely. Was it just me... or did it live up to it's name with a jump cut?

[ciwi286]

Just remembered... Iron man....I really don't get what everyone sees in that movie.

Well, it was too slow, and a lot of the movie was used showing how a block of metal was alien, and odd.

The parts with HAL were amazing, but the 20 min part with the dawn of man, the 15 mins of flying lights.

Sorry, No. Not my cup of tea.

300
Jaws (had it's moments but not as great as some say)
Gladiator
Misery (might be because I read the book)
The Princess Bride (it was a cute, kinda funny movie but not the comedic epic everyone says it is.)
Anything by M. Night except Unbreakble
Chinatown
Troy
Deliverance

[Nonsensical studios]

Watching lights, and coloured landscapes for 15 minutes straight is not for me.

[Fisherking]

The last 15 minutes of 2001 are tortuous. And I've watched and enjoyed Koyaanisqatsi.

Seek first to understand. Just because one doesn't like 2001 doesn't imply that they're stupid, nor that they're unable to watch a film without 'MTV editing.' Like the last chapter in Ulysses, whilst I can appreciate the artistic decision used and the rationale behind with, it still pisses me off when I have to labour through it.

Your pomposity and faux-intellectualism is unbecoming.

[sonnyfromda02]

Titanic.

[Koolpenguin89]

300, what a piece of crap. Why would someone give that kind of a budget for a 3-hour fight scene. Grrr...

Dylan

[WesScog]

300, what a piece of crap. Why would someone give that kind of a budget for a 3-hour fight scene. Grrr...

Dylan

Because apparently that kind of budget for a 3-hour fight scene resonated with people, since it was one of the biggest movies of the year.

[Apocalypse WOW!]

Napleon Dynamite, Anchorman, Requiem For a Dream, Donnie Darko, Indiana Jones 4, Borat, and a lot more but i can't think of right now.

[WesScog]

Donnie Darko is probably one of the few I can really think of.

I enjoyed Donnie Darko, but it was way overhyped for me, I wouldn't say I 'hated' it, because hate is a really strong word, but it definitely wasn't as good as I was told it was.

Conversely, I heard terrible things about Southland Tales, and probably liked it more because my expectations were so low.

[anomalie]

Lord of the Rings 3. I didn't hate it, I just found it very underwhelming, especially with everyone spazzing out about how amazing it was (including the academy...). Fantasy isn't my thing to begin with but I often can enjoy it, I just don't get into is as some people.

I also disliked Titanic. I didn't watch the whole thing.

And I would have liked Donnie Darko less in your situation, Wes. Hype is annoying. But I fortunately found that movie a few months before the masses.

[WesScog]

I heard, "OMG! IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!!!!" from hippie friends for about 3 years before I actually watched it, and I was like, "Wow, it wasn't the greatest movie ever, which i'd been led to believe for years, by every highschool-philosopher and self-professed movie buff."

And I actually liked Titanic when I saw it, I was really young, and I got to see it with a girl that I really liked, and I just had kind of a happy experience around it. But watching it again 10+ years later, it's not nearly as good as I remember it, mostly because I have all of these nostalgic associations with it that kind of added to it.

The theater that I saw some of my favorite movies in, warm popcorn, a cold soda, mind blowing special effects from a Director whose work I really enjoyed, it all kind of fit together to be something I remembered fondly, even if the movie wasn't that great.

It's just interesting how our experiences in our lives around the time we saw a movie can affect our perception of the film.

[anomalie]

It's just interesting how our experiences in our lives around the time we saw a movie can affect our perception of the film.

So true! When I wanted to watch The Princess and the Warrior (great movie by the director of Run Lola Run), my boyfriend was lukewarm toward the idea because he said he'd seen it before and wasn't thrilled. But we watched it anyway at some point, and he completely loved it. Then admitted that the first time he saw it was with his previous girlfriend after they'd fought about something stupid. :p

Same thing applies to how I used to hate Bond movies only because between my dad and three brothers, I didn't get as much of a say toward what we watched on movie nights, so I was bitter, haha. (I did still get to rent a movie I wanted, but rarely got to watch it with everyone and popcorn and such.)

[sanftner2003]

Did you see the new james Bond film from last year?

did you hate it as well?

[EnipProductions]

300. (Just some big fight scene and way overhyped)

All LOTR films. (Soooooo boring, feel asleep in all of them but have watched the whole way through the second time)

Batman Begins. (I thought it was bad, and dull)

p.s. Loved the Dark Knight

[sanftner2003]

I had the same feeling of batman begins.

I still have not sat thru the whole thing, even on 4 tries.

[BoonMcNougat]

300 - Not sure if everyone loved it, but man was it boring. It suffers from too-much actionitis. Like that FF7 movie. Advent Children?

Donnie Darko - I'd need to re-watch this. I saw this when I was in grade 7. It obviously didn't blow my mind. I understood a bit of it. I'd really need to watch it again.

Napoleon Dynamite - I heard about this movie from seeing things like the MTV awards, not friends. My friends aren't stupid enough to fall for the hype. I was. Godammit.

Borat - Some funny parts. Some. No-where near the riot I was expecting.

Superbad - I laughed about twice. I don't like "teen" comedies. I don't like American Pie for the same reason. Too much "It's hilarious because it's vulgar!"

Ratatouiile - I've definitely spelt this wrong, but I didn't find the movie entertaining or funny.

Hostel - My friend claimed it was one of the few movies that's actually scared him. He's the kinda guy who rents Saw for the laughs. Obviously, this movie isn't scary. At all. The moral of the story was "Don't take drugs that are given to you by strangers". A moral I learnt when I was 2.

And woah, a reversal!

Planet Terror - I freaking love this movie. I found two other people in real life who like it. The rest are all "meh" and "what a load of wait, what, what the?". I guess it's too awesome for some. Some people have forgotten that movies are escapism, and they're supposed to be fun and enjoyable rides. We need more Army of Darknesses, more Planet Terrors and more Die Hard's. I love it.

[Fisherking]

Donnie Darko is probably one of the few I can really think of.

I enjoyed Donnie Darko, but it was way overhyped for me, I wouldn't say I 'hated' it, because hate is a really strong word, but it definitely wasn't as good as I was told it was.

Donny Darko was a reasonable film. Unfortunately, the hipsters and wanna-be teen-intellectuals destroyed it for even. The Matrix suffered a similar fate.

Sorry folks, these movies, while entertaining, are shallow philosophy wrapped in fictitious silence.

[Koolpenguin89]

The Matrix suffered a similar fate.

The matrix suffered the fate of having Keanu Reeves playing its main character.

Dylan

[Nonsensical studios]

Woah! When I created this thread, I wasn't aware people would be dissing LOTR!

I'll say it. Wait for it...wait for it.....Star Wars! Sorry, just not for me.

You are entitled to your opinion.

Sorry, but it was WAY TOO overhyped by all the Star Wars maniacs.

[pancakeparty]

Napoleon Dynamite - stupid, not funny at all.
Superbad - was better the second time, but still dumb.
Spiderman - all of them, number one was ok. not great.
Harold and Kumar - wasn't funny, but a hell of alot better tham Napoleon Dynamite.
Lord of the Rings - too long, too boring.
Matrix - first one was kinda cool, the others sucked.

There's probably more, just can't think of them right now.

[SyxxGage]

I was gonna avoid stating Batman begins because I didn't want to be ripped to shreads about it, but apparently I'm not the only one.

"I will like this movie... I will like this movie!!!"

Jumper - don't know how popular this was... but the characters barely reached one dimensional. Talk about jumping up a crack (in spacetime...)

Kill Bill 1+2 - or, IMO, Kill Bull. Kill Bill 2 was slightly better, as it meant that the whole thing was closer to finishing!

Master and Commander - Guy on a boat chases another boat and his friend doesn't get to have a look at the galapagos islands... Did I miss something huge ?

Gladiator - "I am Maximus Thingus Whatever, and I am a revenge robot who has fallen off the page."

However, on the flip side, I really like the Fantastic Four... so I have proven myself unworthy of being a critic... ;)

[WesScog]

Jumper - don't know how popular this was... but the characters barely reached one dimensional. Talk about jumping up a crack (in spacetime...)

Jumper actually wasn't very popular, most people disliked it.


Master and Commander - Guy on a boat chases another boat and his friend doesn't get to have a look at the galapagos islands... Did I miss something huge ?

Yes.

[greyroompictures]

Re: Jumper, I finally feel normal! lol

OK... re: Master and Commander - I must have been sleepwalking through the DVD... What did I miss ?

[Johnny_Cool]

I really enjoyed "Napoleon Dynamite". Not the best film ever, but it surely had its moments. I laughed so hard I almost suffocated during the Rex-Won-Do scene. The part where the bully mashed the croquettes in Napoleon's pocket was awesome as well.

I also totally loved "300". I've seen it three or four times already and it never got boring. Awesome movie.

The last one I've seen that I absolutely hated was Rob Zombie's "Halloween". Rob Zombie totally took away all scaryness from Michael Myers by adding that horrible and opening part about Michael's bad childhood. Could it be any more clishe: Father an alcoholic, mother a stripper, sister a slut, no friends in school, bullied and harrassed by the other kids, tryin' to find some kinda sanctuary in horror films and heavy metal music, etc... hell, I would have loved to smash my TV just so that I won't have to endure this charade any longer. One of the most painful times infront of the TV I ever had. The second half of the film wasn't any better... lame kills, no tention, dull characters... it was like an endless loop of Michael stalkin' some slutty teenager, stabbing her with his blade, following her as she tries to crawl away from him and finally finishing her off. A downright abysmal film through and through.

Grey, you were doing so well in my book and you had to pull this out on me?! *sigh* old men these days...

[WesScog]

Some people have forgotten that movies are escapism, and they're supposed to be fun and enjoyable rides. We need more Army of Darknesses, more Planet Terrors and more Die Hard's. I love it.

Some movies sure, but not all films. They serve a greater purpose in our society than simply entertainment.

I mean I would hardly say 'Finnegans Wake', or 'Guernica' were simple entertainment.

I mean although I enjoy reading Finnegans Wake, and I think Guernica is a fantastic painting (although I don't necessarily "enjoy" looking at it, since it causes a great sense of sadness and terror to well up inside of me) but I mean they have purposes greater than to simply "entertain".

Schindler's List isn't really meant to simply "entertain", Documentaries aren't specifically meant to simply "entertain", although there are a lot of Documentaries that are quite entertaining, their main purpose is to explore, investigate, and educate.

Film's are the convergant artform, the artform that encompasses all other artforms within it, it's a major pinnicle of Mankind's creative and technological abilities, and while films can be made that entertain (and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that at all), films are also far far more than that.

[snicket]

Napoleon Dynamite. It's just... annoying.

Jumper.... :peter:

[greyroompictures]

Grey, you were doing so well in my book and you had to pull this out on me?! *sigh* old men these days...

Almost a direct quote from my wife... :(

When it came to Kill Bill, I guess I just expected something that no film could deliver... It was hyped an awful lot, and I guess I was expecting a new Pulp Fiction ... I also didn't go for the whole revenge thing - so the flick was doomed from the start... lol

Master and Commander - I know it must have more to it than I got, as it's in one of those "1000 Films you must see" type of books. Dunno though - all my previous flippant comments aside, it just didn't resonate with me.

Also - Clerks... I don't really go for it the way many people do but I love Mallrats, while everyone else seems to hate it!

[snicket]

OoO yes I agree new one added: Master And Commander....

[Nonsensical studios]

[elscottomagnifico]

Death Proof - My friends liked it, but I couldn't stand most of the movie because of the dialogue (It's a bad movie that's an ode to bad 70s movies - if I wanted those characteristics, I'd watch a bad 70s movie).

Napoleon Dynamite - entertained me in theaters because I went with some friends to a lesser known theater where everyone was interacting and making it an experience. Watching it again later, it's style gets annoying and the joke wears off quickly.

Indiana Jones 4 - It was a mediocre movie, but a terrible Indiana Jones movie. The writing was crap and it almost felt like no one really cared, they just expected it to make money.

Most M. Night Shyamalan movies (except for 6th Sense and Unbreakable). He's a good director, but his writing is heavily lacking - he wore out his style of plot twists pretty quickly, but for some reason wouldn't stop.

Casino Royale (the new James Bond) - it seemed too much like they were trying to rework Bond into a wannabe Jason Bourne. I agree that the series needed a rebirth, but the way they went is not how I would go. Hopefully the next one will be better (that's how it worked for the new Batman run anyway).

Batman Begins - I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it. I definitely rate it below the Keaton years and maybe equivelent to Kilmer (Batman Forever) - mostly because it wasn't the train wreck that Clooney was as Batman. I just chalk it up to a rebuilding of a series (you have to break it down to build up something great - in which case I think The Dark Knight is an amazing rebirth for a Batman series)

[WesScog]

I loved Casino Royale, because it's the first Bond film that is closer to the books.

Bond is a brutal thug, who has a very hard job, and is a sociopath that just happens to work for the "good guys", and I think they got very very close to that in the new film.

Bond is suave, but it's all a shallow facade, what he is best at is stabbing people in the face, not seducing women. Fleming's Bond was a half-crazed, brutal misogynist, Anti-Hero, and I think they are approaching that with Craig.

[Ladri.]

Babel - I have no clue how it got a nominee for best picture. It was terrible.

The entire movie was just three LOOSELY tied together stories that in the end, had no resolution. The story about the Japanese girl could have been cut out all together.

I will give it Brad Pitt's acting and the score. Those were great.

[Citrus]

hmm...ok...your fine again...And I didn't hate clerks but i prefer Mallrats over it.

[WesScog]

For Kevin Smith movies, I probably rate them from favorite to least favorite...

Chasing Amy, Dogma, Clerks, Clerks II, Mallrats, Jersey Girl, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

But I mean, the difference between my favorite and least favorite isn't a lot. I love all of his movies.

That's why I'm not saying that I don't want to see the new Bond film. It's just issues with a fresh start that will hopefully be worked out in the next film (as I said, that's how it worked from Begins to Dark Knight - Okay restart, but nothing that I absolutely love and then a sequel that is as good as the films were in their heyday, but set in a whole new direction).

The Bond series started out extremely well with Connery, but it has slowly become a near self parody (and far too outrageous with many gadgets) over the original 18 film series. The new start is very different and rough around the edges (story and style wise), but hopefully Quantum Solstice will evolve into what I'd consider a true modern successor to early Sean Connery Bond films.

[Citrus]

Chasing Amy, Dogma, Clerks, Clerks II, Mallrats, Jersey Girl, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

I would order mine

Chasing Amy, Mallrats, Clerks, Clerks II, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and Jersey Girl.

Jersey Girl was just very cliched and not that funny. But it was a nice mature film from him, just not as good compared to his others.

[Fisherking]

Well, I guess there's a new one for me: Chasing Amy is stupid, misognistic garbage.

Kevin Smith tries to write a semi-serious relationship picture and fails dramatically. Where to start? The implication that lesbianism is fictitious (but, then again, homosexuality has always been little more than an oppertunity for a 'gross-out' gag for Smith), obnoxious fan-boy pandering, Ben Affleck surpassing himself by being an even bigger douche than usual and Alyssa's goddamned whining; her constant scream-fests and her infuriating high-pitched voice. She must spend a good half of her total screen time whining.

The final insult, however, the crowning turd on the pie, is the absolutely ridiculous conclusion. Ben Affleck's suggestion for reconciliation is so stupid I can't believe the film is taken seriously after it. Smith obviously wants us to feel pathos for Affleck at the end... but who can sympathise with such a goddamned moron? "My girlfriend left me because I demanded she have sex with my friend?" -No shit, buddy, what'd you expect?

I can list at least four moderately sharp objects I'd rather insert into my rectum than watch Chasing Amy again.

[WesScog]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUcA9uEau-8

I think you might misunderstand some of Smith's intentions with Chasing Amy.

Fast-Forward to about 7 minutes into it, he talks to a Lesbian and they discuss Chasing Amy, and I think it sheds some light on his perspective and the experiences he brings to the table.

Nearly anything with Ben Stiller, with the exception of Mysterymen(Janeane Garofalo is my weakness) and Dodgeball. Everytime I see Ben Stiller I just want to punch him, and I'm not a violent guy:supermad:.

Transformers, I haven't seen it yet but everyone at school is surprised that I didn't flock to that movie. I'll probably enjoy it for the eye candy that it undoubtedly is. I also didn't like Undead. If you haven't heard of it, its a terrible zombie movie from Australia.

Undead was awful, I mean what the hell actually happened in that film (the aliens!? The floating people?!). A film I didnt really like was Finding Nemo, it just didnt make me laugh, it looked good but was just too kiddy for me (it alienated adults in a way that pixar films usually strive not to).

I hate that film with a burning passion, but am constantly forced to watch it when I am at the houses of my friends.

I'm all for campy fun but Undead was ridiculous. Everything about this movie didn't do it for me. From the fat farmer/cowboy/Clint Eastwood wannabe hero. To all the terrible gags. Exploding a can of soda like a grenade, hanging upside down on spurs shooting zombies, zombie alien fish... Don't forget the grossly underused triple shotgun. You get a weapon that badass in a movie you make sure its on screen destruction is of epic proportions.

I am sorry, it is just made so horribly.

[UndergroundLairProductions]

Transformers, I haven't seen it yet but everyone at school is surprised that I didn't flock to that movie. I'll probably enjoy it for the eye candy that it undoubtedly is. I also didn't like Undead. If you haven't heard of it, its a terrible zombie movie from Australia.

To be fair, the flying zombie fish was kind of amusing.
I'm gonna have to say "Superbad" honestly. I just didn't care for it.

[FreshMentos]

I didn't like V For Vendetta. Everyone else I know thought it was amazing.

Wait, Sinatra or Washington?

[screamingdeathpunchpictures]

Wait, Sinatra or Washington?
The Frank Sinatra one is one of my favorite films. It's great.

[WesScog]

Yea, that's why I am asking. The Sinatra version is utter genius.

[Nonsensical studios]

I am sorry, the way it is done is SO HORRIBLE!!! I mean, constant zooms, Boring shot comp...

Its like it was filmed like a kids birthday.

[HunnyBunchFilms]

I didn't like V For Vendetta. Everyone else I know thought it was amazing.

I agree. Everyone went crazy for that movie, but its kind of a chore to sit through.

Were these people 14-years-old?

[HunnyBunchFilms]

Were these people 14-years-old?

From what I remember it was mostly Wachoski brothers/Matrix fan boys.

What HunnyBunchFilms said, and they were 15. So you were pretty damn close.

[_ray_biddle_]

This is a thread where you can confess to movies that other people really like, yet you dont.

I'll start.


Goodfellas. I'm sorry, I just did not like it.

Star Wars- The all suck in my opinion. The best thing to come from them was movie merchandising.

[Nonsensical studios]

Ray...

How could you do this? :(

HOW DID WE ELECT A PRESIDENT THAT DOESNT LIKE STAR WARS????

[greyroompictures]

Slither was hyped up a lot but I just didn't enjoy it.

It's a combination of immature philosophy and the childish desire to rebel.

A lot of pretentious kids love 'em. Eh, it's part of growing up.

At least I can admit it. LOL! It's not like I haven't said it before.

[thorni52]

Pirates of the Carribiean
American Pie (super bad is the only teenage comedy i like)
300

[BlazingProductions]

i have to say Napoleon Dynamite and the saw movies. I don't know why but i fell asleep through the first one and didn't find anything good about the second.

And ray...I'm...I'm shocked.

[SyxxGage]

That stupid pop-up from when you sign on to AIM just reminded me of one. I absolutely, positively, without a doubt in my mind, HATE Rocky Horror Picture Show. I would rather shave my chest with a cheese grater than sit through that rancid piece of crap ever again.

[Cosmic Hamster Productions]

The movie i hate with ALL my heart is... EVERY SINGLE POTTER, the books were pretty good except for the end of the last one

I kinda sucked for me

[jugglingfreak]

I kinda sucked for me

As opposed to sucking for someone else?

[greyroompictures]

Don't get me started on Potter...

I saw the first one and it put me right off the franchise.
Besides - Gandalf could wipe the floor with Potter (but I guess that's a debate for another thread...)

I just got reminded of one...FIGHT CLUB I don't know the whole thing was predictable, maybe the book was better but i never got into that one.

[SyxxGage]

I just got reminded of one...FIGHT CLUB I don't know the whole thing was predictable, maybe the book was better but i never got into that one.

This is a movie I was indifferent on. I watched the flick, didn't think it was bad, but I wasn't thinking it was the greatest thing ever like some other people.

[sanftner2003]

When I watched fight club, I saw an image flash across the screen real quick.

Me and my friend sat on the floor inches away from the tv pausing the tv as quickly as possible to see what the hell the image was.

His mom walked in with her 4 friends the moment we got it to freeze on the screen.

Try explaining 2 15year old boys inches away from a tv wth a penis froze on the screen, to a room full of desperate housewives......

Anecdote: 10/10
It may have been terrible at the time, but the material is priceless... Incidents like this are gifts to a writer. Lol

[HunnyBunchFilms]

I also didn't like Crank...I know a couple of people who liked that one.

[ishakebabies]

ok so here goes...

I'm not surprised no one has mentioned this one because everyone loves this one...or at least everyone I know. I don't hate it but I dislike it very much, needless to say I don't ever seek out to watch it. I genuinely dislike The Nightmare Before Christmas.
I watched it when I was 9 years old, and I've watched it a million times because someone else decides to put it on when it's on tv or whatever...but to me, this movie is like what the English Patient was to Elaine in Seinfeld (in regards to how everyone liked it except for her, not her level of hatred for the film). Nothing, or no one, will ever make me like this film.

On another note, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (a movie Tim Burton actually directed), is the biggest piece of shit I have ever sat through. Now, I enjoyed Edward Scissorhands, Batman, and Beetlejuice, but holy shit, when this steaming pile of disease infested sewage came out, and I paid 9 bucks to see it in theaters, I put Mr. Burton right at the top of my shit list. I love the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, but this atrocity of a movie, whether it be a remake, or re-imagining or whatever you want to call it, will NEVER, EVER be in the ballpark of awesomeness that the original or the book are/were/ WHATEVER. I can genuinely and wholeheartedly say, that I hate--no, LOATHE, this pathetic excuse for a motion picture.

And I never really liked Napoleon Dynamite either.

[sonnyfromda02]

A Nightmare Before Christmas was eh. My wife loves it, so we went to see it in 3-D which was pretty cool.

I'm concerned that you've held back a little bit... does this mean you liked it or not... *jk*

ROFL at your assessment... Poor Mr Burton!

[skRockefeller]

Star Wars
heh just kidding.

but, Borat turned my stomache,
and Ghost Rider. How the hell did that movie make so much money???
I'm a projectionist at my theatre and opening weekend for that movie was HELL. We had to open up 3 more auditoriums for the midnight showing because they sold out so fast. Then during the screening i wanted to walk out so bad but was forced to stay and watch the dreaded thing in its entirety.

[ericslovechild]

Supperbad.

[SyxxGage]

A Nightmare Before Christmas was eh. I never found it enjoyable. I've tried, but I've never been able to sit through the whole thing in one sitting.


Borat turned my stomache

Agreed. I really can't stand Borat, or Ali G for that matter.

[Nonsensical studios]

Agreed. I really can stand Borat, or Ali G for that matter.


So you can stand Borat?

jk.

I couldn't stand it either.

[SyxxGage]

Fixed. Borat makes me so mad I can't even spell correctly.;)

[sanftner2003]

Mabey you have to be a jew to find it funny when I jew plays a jew hater.

[Nonsensical studios]

Or maybe its one of those movies thats funny because of its reputation of being controversial?

[sanftner2003]

It wasnt a political movie.
It was more of a religious type movie.

I dont remember anything political in it, except the scene where he sings teh national anthem.

[Nonsensical studios]

I meant controversial, Sorry I needed to go.

Baybalon AD. Me and a group of friends went to see it. I walked out thinking that the filmmakers were trying to get a world record for the worst film in the history of hollywood (understatement). Everyone else said they thought it was not a gigantic pice of shit from the ass of Sara Palin and that was the clossest thing to a complement that crapfest could get.

I didn't hate iron man, but I don't think it deserved all of the praise it got. It was just nothing special really.

[FreshMentos]

I didn't hate iron man, but I don't think it deserved all of the praise it got. It was just nothing special really.I liked Iron Man a lot. But I got a lot of shit from my friends because I didn't think it was the best movie ever. I actually enjoyed The Incredible Hulk more than Iron Man because felt less "Hollywood-ish". The showdown between Iron Man and Iron Monger was very disappointing too.

[sanftner2003]

I got that too.

The show down on iron man wasnt even long. I didnt like the incredibles either, because of the same reason. After a small battle on the streets, the movie was over. And I was sittign there thinking "wait. what about a grandfinale. Arent the incredibles supposed to do sumthing incredible?"

I lvoed robert Downey Junior in Iron man.

But I would say its only half as good as spiderman 2. Which i still consider the best comic movie ever.

Dark Knight was great, but I just didnt see it as a comic movie. Even thos its based on a comic, I still just saw it as a great dark superhero (or even super villian) movie.

[copycat1992]

napoleon dynamite. it's not funny, its people being assholes.
