Movies You Hates!

Honestly man, I'm not sure how much movie going experience/knowledge a teenager has, but ok man, if you can live with classifying yourself as having that much knowledge -- so can I, I guess. Personally though, I prefer to have my own opinions and stand on them, rather than vaguely referencing a movie critic who just like you, has an opinion .... except of course they were paid to published it thus making it available for others to side with.

TConwell, I'm not insulting anybody because they don't like a film and I definitely respect your opinion, and it is, of course, good to have differing views, I was just explaining what I thought of the show, and that it should be respected for those certain aspects.

And I'm not just talking about a couple other critics, I'm talking about tens of thousands of opinions: http://imdb.com/chart/top , http://tinyurl.com/46d4m

Again, no disrespect meant, I just think there are things to admire in this film, even if you dislike it. For me, I couldn't stand to watch Titanic again, because it is just way too boring for me, but it does have some great acting, and nice stories...but it drags on for me.

I actually enjoyed the LOTR trilogy and found the Harry Potter movies to be half decent, but they are improving. Yes LOTR movies tend to be long, but enjoyable. I do hate disney movies, nickolodeon movies (SOUE was neat though but it isnt directly related to the books) and any other movie made by a kids channel.

Titanic ... yeah, there was the over-hyped production of the decade.
Sho'nuff though ... tis good to have differing opinions.

TCon - McFly ... opinions are like hearts, everyone has one.

WWS - planet of the apes, movies seems to have been written and produced by a bunch of apes

McFly - Well, TConwell, with all due respect, you are very wrong in my opinion. And I'll tell you why.

TCon, thats partially correct. Not all people have "hearts" per say, lol. But physically speaking, to be alive, yea.

WWS, cant agree more. I dont think I even followed the movie when I watched it it was so dumb.

McFly - What you are doing isnt right. Just because a thousand critics say the movies are great based on several reasons does not mean that it is.

Obviously you put your beliefs and standards in those of everyone else. What they deem to be good and bad is partly what makes up your standards. Obviously this is true because you state that even if you dont like the movies, a person has to "accept" certain aspects because everyone heralds it as being magnificent.


"I was just explaining what I thought of the show, and that it should be respected for those certain aspects."


See, Im with TCon on this one. Who set the standards? Who told me what I have to respect and why? I found the movies to be boring. While the visuals were good, visuals dont make a movie and if the movie is crappy, then it brings down the rest. Ive also never been a fan at all of the fantasy world stuff. The only thing remotely close that I enjoy is science fiction, not the fantasy land stuff. Its just not my cup of tea.


But as I read the pseudo debate, I just felt that Id add that trying to tell someone they have to respect or like certain parts of a film based on thousands, or millions of reviews is still trying to force someone to change their opinion BASED on others, which isnt right. Weve formed our opinions for our own reasons and as TCon stated, some of us stick by them. You should not get flustered if someone doesnt appriciate what you do, thats how life is.

Gouldy - Anything made predominantly by Americans (except Adam Sandler films or American Pie)

Sounds like someone has a predisposed bias towards Americans in general. Kind of sad, considering not all Americans have bias towards other people and other nations. Its quite bold to generalize like that and Id bet that any movie that is, you would start watching with a closed mind based on that statement. Sandler rocks though

===============================


Ok to my list (haha)
-Kung Pow - I walked out of the room after 30 minutes. Frankly, Id rather go have this root canal done than to sit through that thing again.
-Titanic is too long. Its a decent love story that I can appriciate being a "romantic" of sorts, but its too long and drags on.
-Armageddon - Probably not a good movie, but it has to be for me because I had my first kiss at the end of that movie, so its got some sentimental value. (the movie didnt inspire it, it was just the timing)


Theres more Im sure, but I tend to stay away from stuff that I know just isnt in my genre's which are comedy and action with the occasional love story, as long as its not the same as every single other one or actually has some good acting.

Haha, I try not to read reviews before seeing them in theaters, in order to be able to form my own opinions....and even if I do read reviews, I don't rely on them, and force myself to like a dislike a movie because of such things...but noticing good plot elements and acting elements is still an opinion, but it's much less of an opinion as deciding whether a movie is good or bad. I haven't read a single review of Titanic, because I never cared, but I can recognize good acting even if I don't like the film...

Back to page one: Gouldly, I don't like harry potter, it's just they don't portray the books in the movies good enough!!! The movies could be sooo much better if they only followed the story line and explained every thing instead of wasting their time on retard shrunken heads and made up stuff!!!

Real, two very simple words: thank you

Yea, though good acting to you could not be good acting to someone else. Its all too subjective.

And especially when people knock huge "hit" movies, people flip out like

"OMGzRz! HoW CAN you not like TeH LOTRz?"!# Tehy is The B3STEST Moovi35 EVAR!! Die!"


Dont think I was hatin on ya, I wasnt. I just wanted to make sure you and others know that even classifying a movie or actor as good or bad is still subjective, reguardless its status in the world. Most people at my work herald the South Park movie as the best movie ever, but I dont care for it at all due to its content.


Just to end it all, Anything Entertainment is subjective. Coasters, movies, etc. There, end of subjectivness-talkingness. Ok, that was bad, I just wanted to make up random words.


And TCon, You're Welcome.

I don't understand why people knock huge "hit" movies. I think it's so they can get responses like:

"OMGzRz! HoW CAN you not like TeH LOTRz?"!# Tehy is The B3STEST Moovi35 EVAR!! Die!"

and then make fun of them for their response. You want respect for your opinion for not liking the movie, so you should do it a bit more respectfully than saying it's in the league of "barney" or whatever the hell it said.

I personally couldn't care less if anyone hates a movie I like. I liked "Cabin Fever"... Everybody hates that movie. I thought it was funny as hell.

I like the LOTR movies as well, anyone who says "I fell asleep" should have left and made room for someone who would enjoy the movie.

Another funny thing here is these people whining about the length of the LOTR movies, yet you watched all three. What the hell for? If you hated the first one you should have known better than to watch the other two. How stupid are you?

Anyway, I don't go to theaters very often and if I turn a movie on on TV and I don't like it, I turn away from it so I can't really think of any movies that I "hate".

Ummmm, MOP, was that supposed to add anything of value or just be a rant? Seems like the latter, to me. However, as far as making room for someone who might have enjoyed the movie, I went to all three LOTR approx 7 days after they opened (to let the hype die) ... seems to me there was PLENTY of room in the theater for not only more movie goers, but room to park the vehicles of those who were there as well.

"I liked "Cabin Fever"... Everybody hates that movie. I thought it was funny as hell."
Yeah but it wasnt supposed to be funny, it was supposed to be a thriller! It was okay from a comedy viewpoint like you said, but from a thriller view point, lets just say it could have been better.

"If you hated the first one you should have known better than to watch the other two. How stupid are you?"

Maybe people thought the next one would be better than the last one. I sure did. I actually liked the lord of the rings, and i do actually think the films were just as good as the books. The books are good, but get boring in parts IMO. The only thing i dislike about the films is the 3rd film, where sam is carrying frodo up the mountain cos frodo is to tired to walk. Then a couple of minutes later, Frodo is scrambling up that mountain so fast and starts fighting Golum!! I know alot of films do things like this, but i thought LOTR's would be better than this. Indeed IMO they were good films, but i didnt like that bit.

I'm so glad i have never seen any of the LOTR's films. I guess it was generaly the name of the film that put me off...i mean 'Lord Of The Rings' and also the fact that there is midgits/elves or whatever the hell they are in it, just freaks me out.

It seems like Lord of the Rings is either loved or hated. I loved the movies, but that's probably because I am a complete D&D / Magic: the Gathering nerd, and love anything dealing with fantasy. I can see how someone who isn't in to fantasy could get bored though. If when you went to the theater and saw crazy people dressed up in costumes from the movie, that is type of people I went to go see them with. I dressed up as a Nazgul, Kerin went as an elf, and Jon came as Aragorn (he had to leave his home-made replica of Anduril outside, though.)

Back on topic, I really hate any movie that has no plot line and is just people fighting for 2 hours. Movies like "Freedy vs Jason" and "Alien vs Predator". I also really don't like cheap horror movies like "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre". All of those movies that are all fighting/blood/gore/hate and have almost no storyline. Action-type movies with a good plot line like The Matrix, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, and Star Wars are great, though.

What's your point? That the movies were crap? I don't think so, just because you didn't like them doesn't mean they were garbage.

Also you said something about "value". Um, a topic about "who hates what movie" is hardly valuable so I don't think I was out of line.

Oh come on MOP ... don't be hatin'.
I was merely trying to carry the conversation on ...

Yeah, but it wasn't really that valid of a point. Look at Fat Albert, it was fourth at the box office last weekend....what does that tell you? Plus, you are talking about one theater, TJ...all three were either the top or second highest grossing films in their respective years...which really negates the initial point I made about Fat Albert, lol, but there you go....

All I am saying, is that here the theater was empty ... so rather than (again) spending a lot of time reading what other people thought and making darn sure my opinions lined up with the "popular vote" so I could impress the cronies, I went to the theater, and found it to be empty.

Hey, I'm just trying to carry on the conversation ...

No, but really...as I've said, I try not to read reviews before seeing films, unless I read a review of an older film that recommends it, causing me to want to go see the film. The LOTR films are great, but none would be in my top 10. They have great special effects, amazing storylines, and an overall great feel to them, but they can drag at times....Return of the King was probably the worst, because it was probably the only one where I was actually bored near the end...

And no, I don't line my opinions up with the popular vote, because usually, I disagree with the popular opinion on many subjects...

My top ten would probably include these films....
-Pulp Fiction
-Goodfellas
-The Godfather (Pt I)
-Star Wars: The Empre Strikes Back
-Fargo
-Schindler's List
-Reservoir Dogs
-The Usual Suspects
-Monty Python and the Holy Grail
-Rushmore

Sure, most are liked by critics, but I also watched most of these films before reading numerous reviews on them...plus, reading reviews after seeing a film can sometimes help you get more out of the plot to understand it better or just to see a different point of view about a movie.

I was diseapointet by Fargo. It's supposed to be so great, but I wasn't any impressed by it. My Favorit Coen movie is O'Brother Where Art Thou with The Man Who Wasn't There as a number 2. But i guess I'll have to watch Fargo again[;)]

BTW great lis you have there. All movies are on my top list too[;)]

[Master of Puppets]

Fargo is a true story. That is a reason it's a "good" movie.

Pulp Fiction is up there on my list of favorites.

No it's not. I never understood why, but the Coen brothers felt like calling it a true story would make it better.

Yeah, Fargo is not a true story...and O Brother was excellent also...thoroughly hilarious. The Ladykillers, though, was pretty much just average for me....not very good, IMO.
