LOTR films were great, 1st Matrix good, others not so much, Clockwork Orange was good as was the book, most Tarantino films, just saw 6th Sense again the other night. Surprised I don’t see anyone bashing the Harry Potter films, but again I’d say I enjoy them.
Bladerunner is on my list of movies to see, so can’t comment on that one yet. Agree on Avatar, it’s just Fern Gully on steroids.
But for movies that many like and I don’t:
- Twilight series. Don’t think I’ve ever seen worse acting in a movie that is huge.
- Batman films whenever they give him a love interest.
- Controversial pick - Godfather films. Drives my wife crazy, I can’t watch them. I would rather be doing pretty much anything else than try to sit through one of those.

I agree with your likes too. LOTRs was great to me...however way too long for repeated watching. I will occasionally put on one of them...but I can never sit through all 3 simultaneously. I really don't have that kind of time. ;D
Not big on the Harry Potter though..

--- Quote from: Bootay on February 10, 2011, 11:50:11 am ---Yea I agree on the Twilight series. My wife likes them so I have sat through at least 2 of them. The dialog is just as cringe worthy as the dialog they gave adult Anakin Skywalker in the Star Wars prequels.

Thing is, the first movie is an excellent adaptation of the first book. I sat down and read the book "just to see what the fuss is about" and was dropping it on the floor and groaning several times through. The movie is JUST as bad and captures the book 100% except that you can't play "count how many times she uses the word 'beautiful'" with the movie.
The second and third movies have gotten slightly better... I'm not sure why I keep getting dragged to them but I guess it's the shirtless amerindian?
Fourth movie is going to be quite interesting... my understanding is that the main character has sex with the vampire and then gets converted so they have some kind of omniscient-Dune-baby that the werewolf falls in love with and marries or something.
:dunno

PBJ, what movies do you actually LIKE?! ??? It seems you find something to hate in every thread.
Oh yeah, I forgot about the Star Wars prequels. Jesus god those were ALL AWFUL. Talk about emmasculating Darth Vader. It almost makes the first ones bad too... :puke

I was forced to watch Twilight by wife...we both hated it. Sorry, but sun=burned up vampire in every other book/movie/story. Twilight vampires sparkle...WTF?
Now for the rest of the hatred: Star Wars episode 1...hated by many SW geeks, but still a popular movie.
I also hate pretty much every Robin Williams movie except Good Will Hunting. I hate Mrs Doubtfire, Good Morning Viet Nam, Patch Adams, etc.
I too couldn't get past the shuttle part of Armageddon. Wife gets bent out of shape hearing me ---smurfette--- about even if they were launching 2 shuttles at the same time, WhyTF would they be 100 feet apart...ridiculous. I also thought the same thing about the gun on the rig. And let's not forget about the ridiculous explanation of how the rigs handled little to zero gravity, but how about the individual people? Did they have magnetic boots or did they also have little thrusters pushing them down too? I like a little science in my science fiction.
