Movies you love to hate

[Badran]

I share a couple of those which already have been mentioned:

Avatar - One of the most painful experiences i ever had to endure.

Funny People - Me and my friend were just looking at each other at certain points in the movie, smiling, and wondering what are we doing here. We were genuinely amazed that something can be that bad.

One that hasn't been mentioned but is probably the absolute worse i can think of:

Knocked Up - This is probably the biggest mistake in my life in general. I knew upfront i was getting myself into something bad, but i was up for being a little provoked. I just didn't expect this much.

Crash - turned the DVD off after watching it for about an hour. Pfffft.
Blair Witch Project - Almost made me decide to get into making movies. I certainly couldn't do worse.
Starship Troopers - BUGS in space.... truly awful writing. Children are starving and they found money to make that load of steaming....
Avatar - I watched it with an Avatar fanatic. Big mistake. It was like getting a pretty present with nothing in the box.
The Bee Story or summin - I walked out. Animation about some bees with Jerry Seinfeld doing one of the voices. Perfectly revolting.
Battlefield Earth - this stinker comes from the creator of Scientology, starring one of the most famous Scientologists on the planet... Go figure.


I'll stop there... I'm starting to gag...

 

[Rakhel]

Time Bandits. It's ok the first time around but after that...it can go the way of the mircowave.

 

[Panda]

The Wrestler - Can't stand that movie or Mickey Rourke in it.

 

[Kathryn]

Ugh - The Wrestler was grody.

Speaking of grody, I also hated "The Crying Game." Overrated and unpleasant.

 

[The Sum of Awe]

Legion
Skyline

Grody, yes....but I enjoyed'm both.
The worst movie of all time?
There Will Be A Serious Man's Blood In Beyond The Valley Of Jar Jar Binks' Last Tango In Battlefield Earth

 

[Songbird]

Juno.
Marley and Me.
Napoleon Dynamite.
Funny People.
Baby Geniuses.

Aw, I liked the first three on your list quite a lot. Haven't seen the second two.

It's pretty funny how different we all are with our movie preferences.

Never saw the others, but how can you possibly hate Napoleon Dynamite?

[Magic Man]

It's an amazing movie, no where near as good as the book but still a good film.

To each his own. As I said, I like some of the concepts, but it just wasn't done very well. To be a good movie, you have to be entertaining first and foremost. This was just boring.

 

[Magic Man]

Napoleon Dynamite.

My wife and I and a couple friends loved it and recommended it to a few other friends, who turned it off halfway through. I understand that some people won't like it, but there are people I would expect to like it (like you) who don't, which baffles me.

Oh, yeah! I HATED HATED HATED that one. I can't understand why people liked it.

I also hated Burn After Reading. I couldn't find any of the jokes.

 

[Riverwolf]

Oh, yeah. Transformers 2. One of the worst movies EVER. (And I kinda liked the first one.)

Burn After Reading was all a set-up for the punch line at the end.
It was one long joke.

There was a joke at the end? Where? The guy who looked like Patrick Stewart killing that other guy with an axe? That wasn't funny; that was grim. The dialogue at the end of the movie between those two FBI guys? Where was the joke in that?

For Juno I just couldn't buy the characters; it was almost insulting that the movie expected me to suspend my disbelief.

Marley and Me stretched a whole lot of nothing out for what felt like an eternity. The non-story was torturous monotony. And the dog ****** me off. I love dogs, but I didn't find the destructiveness and disobedience to be cute or endearing at all, and that's all the dog did through the entire movie. It also made me mad because that's exactly the sort of people who shouldn't have pets, much less children.

Napoleon Dynamite was obnoxious.

Funny People was a long, drawn out, unfunny display of Adam Sandler's ego.

Baby Geniuses speaks for itself.

That wasn't it.
Spoiler alert!
She would have gotten her boob job from the US government without having to go thru all the shenanigans with the Russians.

...huh?




I still don't see the joke.

Indeed. ^_^

As stated, I liked Avatar and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

I also liked Starship Troopers, and I freaking LOVE Conan the Barbarian. (The original; haven't seen the new one.)

Thing is, I fully admit that these are bad movies; but I still very much enjoy them.

A "bad movie" can still be entertaining. Sometimes what you want from a movie is something you can switch off to and enjoy the pretty pictures, explosions and not have to think about it at all.
