Universally hated movies and the people who love them

Joshua wrote:Yeah, I'm the only one that hates the 70s version. Fuck that movie in the ass, unless it likes it there, then fuck it in another uncomfortable place.

Like the back of a Volkswagen.

I hate it too!! I cant stand Wider as Wonka and his singing? Ugh!

I hate it as well.

Back to the Future Part III

Ditto.

But I love Red Dawn!

I love Back to the Future III, but I totally get why anyone wouldn't. It's pretty ridiculous, which is saying a lot for a movie where time travel is an acceptable logic.

Howard the Duck is a favorite of mine. Great cast and a fun movie.

As far as the Wonka flicks, I like them both for differnt reasons. Are they universally hated though? I don't think they are.

Red Dawn is another favorite of mine, I am looking forward to seeing the remake on this. This is one time where I don't really mind a remake due to the fact that the origianl came out during the Cold War. The new generation has nothing to really relate to the original. I am hoping the remake is not only topical with what is going on currently in the world, but also as entertaining as the original.

Daredevil also makes my list as a movie I loved and pretty much everyone else hated also add to that the good dumb fun of 30,000 Miles to Graceland.

Unless they change the title, I don't see how they can change the new Red Dawn too much. Is that one hated too? Man.

I don't think the original Red Dawn is hated as much as I think it is, but my close circle of friends seem to have a strong dislike to the movie which angers me, because I really love that movie.

I liked:

The Star Wars Prequels (I thought they were good)
Star Trek: The Motion Picture
Daredevil
Josie & The Pussycats (I have no idea why, but I really thought this movie was fun)
Alvin & The Chipmunks (I really enjoyed this movie. Not sure why but it was funny)
Superman Returns (I own it on DVD. Yeah. I said it. I own it)

They may be Communists. Be alert.

Communists is a word I have used to describe them with them many many times.

Also, despite their mixed reviews, I loved Burn After Reading and Clerks 2.

Also I kinda dug Snakes on a Plane.

Also gonna add Matrix Reloaded, Unbreakable, The Village, Lady in The Water and Constantine to my list.
God damn it, do I love Constantine...

I was even a huge Constantine fan and I thought it played well. I mean, it isn't comicbook Constantine, but it was just well done. That's the best way I can put it.

I haven't seen the sequel but I'm sure I'll like it.

I have yet to see the sequel, either, but found the first one more entertaining than the original. I know, I know--"WHAT?!" says all the fans.

That, The Hills Have Eyes and TCM's remakes were good too.

Tomer Soiker wrote:Unbreakable is one of the best superhero movies ever, and it's not even based on a comic book. While it had some plot holes, the movie was still good. I think Signs is considered worse than that one.

Seems to me that a lot of people forget that that is even a Shyamalan film. I think it is his best. Better than the Sixth Sense.

Pitch Black
Masters of the Universe
Jason X

You know, I liked Pitch Black and Chronicles of Riddick both. And I dislike Vin Diesel. Go figure.
Masters of the Universe. Nostalgia won't let me hate that one. It is kind of cornball, moreso than I consider fun though.
Jason X. You can't hate something that pokes fun at itself and the entire franchise. You can dislike the satire, but you can't hate it. Jason unsuccessfully trying to kill holographic, sexy camperettes sells that damn movie.

I'd say the Burton version is more "light hearted" than the Wilder version. At the end of the Burton version...you see that all the kids are still amongst the living. In the Wilder version, they could be fucking DEAD for all we know.

Also, the Boat sequence? Come on...

Exactly. As soon as they entered the tunnel I got all excited, thinking what will they come up with, as I'm sure most did. And we get chocolate-water rafting with some drum beats. *palms side of face*


*gulp!*


*yawn.*

I think a majority of my hate for Charlie and The Chocolate Factory can be attributed to Freddie Highmore.

"Gee Willikers! I'm in the Wonka Factory, guvnah!"

I'll refrain from pointing out that the author and setting of the original book are both British, since we've already agreed to disagree. I always thought it was odd that Charlie was American in the Wilder version. In the book, only Violet and Mike TeeVee were from America.

Yeah americanising our stuff is a personal pet peeve of mine

I know I hate it when people take things I do and make them substantially more awesome.

Without us you guys would pretty much still be eating boiled meat and spotted dick all day.

Let's not be ugly. If it weren't for Britain and her colonists, we'd all be cheese-eating French speakers.

I hate it when Japanese stuff gets americanized. This is the main reason I can't get into Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. the americanization. Why can't they show these Japanese shows as appeear on tv in Japan? Unedited Kamen Rider would rock.

Yeah, but how digestible are many of the original source materials to a marketable demographic?

Niche markets do not make big businesses comfortable. A bunch of dubbed of Japanese teenagers would not have had nearly the mass appeal as the original American Power Rangers had.

And if not for America we'd all be burning Jews and heiling Hitler.

America rules!

^ To be fair, all of Europe softened them up before we attacked.

To be fair, I was being intentionally over-the-top.

My problem with Freddie Highmore wasn't that he was British...it's that he was insufferably sugary sweet and wide eyed for the entire movie. Glad he has seemed to stop getting work...

I didn't see this as ugly. I saw this as HILARIOUS. JEFFROFTW.
