Honestly, I didn't know there was a book - I'll check it out because I believe the books are almost invariably better..[B@lL15T1C said:

Hi. This is a thread about movies that everyone else likes, except me (or you if you're the one posting something).
Saying that a movie based on a good book, is a good movie, is just a bad argument. It it can be used as one at all.
Unless you find The Da Vinci Code, Eragon, Chronicles of Narnia to be good movies, then the argument simply doesn't work to disprove my opinion from your perspective (which it won't anyway, because it simply is MY opinion). Please note that I'm NOT saying that all movies based on novels are bad. I'm just saying that they're not all good, as a counter-argument.
And to add another to the list: Transformers. I facepalmed when I saw them zoom in the camera for 3 seconds on a memory card (it's shiny!), I facepalmed when I saw a mountain dew-bot, I facepalmed with each dread-awful 'joke' they forced into it and I FACEPALMED AT THE NONSENSICAL ENDING. The whole time they're saying that they need to keep that thingamajig away from the decepticons, and in the end, a bad actor finishes off the bad guy by pushing said thing into the bad guy's chest. And an obligatory cheesy, stupid romance subplot on top of that. I'm never watching a Michael Bay movie again.
And someone here mentioned Star Wars. I concur.
Scarface - can see why its iconic for its era but apart from that it has no redeeming features whatsoever.
Tim Burton's Batman films - they make me cringe. Just can't watch them. I really hate most of the psuedo-goth dipshits work but Batman takes the cake.
The Departed - Boring. Completely boring. Fell asleep during it. Not good.
Transformers - all my friends loved this film. All I saw was some whiney teen trying to get laid and the transformers were just a subplot.

For that my friend you get a gold star for having some sense.SoonerMatt said:
I absolutely loathed Lost In Translation and American Beauty. It's just wankers who see the word 'art' as a get out of jail free card for making heaps of money off people who blindly believe that the stuff they make is intelligent because they are told it is.
Watchmen was just a fanboy movie and childish in extreme.
Any romantic comedy is just so full of sentimental moralising crap that I want to be sick
I have a problem with Fight Club, while I really like the movie and all it says I hate the way aforementioned wankers have built a cult-like hype around it even though their own lives will never take a single step in that direction. I hate all HYPE! RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
EDIT: oh oh oh, one more please can I kill one more? All Marvel or DC or any comic franchise that has become a film, they are so DULL!
...but then you have to look pretty hard for a person who says he likes them with a straight face don't you?Khazoth said:
My pick goes to American pie and in fact all sex based comedies, this is a brief summary of my experiance with them:
Everyone else: Woaaaahhhh she got her boobs out!
Me: So what?
Everyone else: hahahahahah he just said penis!
Me: That's not funny
Everyone else: God she's so HOT!
Me: God she's so FAKE (continues to drool at nerdy girl)
that sums it up right about for me, sex comedies are boring unless you know what you are doing.
Also to the people who hate Sweeny Todd, I loved it. Depp was a good singer I thought and the movie had a nice topical sense of humour, good cast and the same quirky greatness that I expect from Tim Burton.
Also I freakin' loved Watchmen (though then again I never read the comic book)
Twilight .. Dear god man. I never read the books, and I hear they are pretty good but COMMON. The movie was atrocious! Acting was terrible (Seriously, Bollywood has better acting then this movie did), cinematography was horrible. I wanted to vomit! I couldn't even get through the movie, let alone the first 20 minutes.
I quite enjoyed Fight Club, brilliant movie in my eyes. I can understand why people wouldn't like it though. If you just watched it for what it was, it made no sense. It was a movie had you had to really pay attention to because you can miss so much. It poises you to think while watching it, something a lot of people just don't like to do.

1. Evil Dead (not Army of Darkness, but the first two sucked.)
2. Independence Day (just horrible in every way.)
3. Any sex comedy ever made. They are all garbage.
Oh, and Transformers. You can teach a class in how not to make a movie with that film.
