Movies that you are told are bad, that you consider good.

[arnoldthebird]

Transformers Trilogy is good fun, go in expecting explosions and I was given explosions. Sure the human side is dull, but robot fighting is fun
Green Lantern did not suck as much as I thought it would, I liked it
Star Wars Prequels are awesome, sure if they compared to the Original Trilogy they suck but I still love them. Star Wars Blu-Ray set was one of my favourite Christmas presents

 

[Erttheking]

Transformers, X-men 3 and origins, Avatar, and Spider man 3

I enjoyed Avatar, I keep getting told I shouldn't and that it belongs on the worst movies list however... I liked it. I wouldn't say its brilliant, its got a lot of flaws and most of those are pointed out by everyone who hates this film. However, I don't know why but I can agree with them all and still look past them.

Yeah I know it was some stupid preachy film, Last Samurai, Dances with Wolfs rip off, I know it was another mighty whitey story and I agree the pots been done way more times before and it the preaching is highly, highly annoying.

However, I don't know, viewed on its own, its a decent flick, its got some good action, the special effects are gorgeous, there's nothing wrong with the acting and I liked the artstyle of the movie.

I can understand how people would be angry with this film, trust me, I get behind you on that one. Just I found it entertaining and I certainly don't believe it belongs on any all time worst lists. There is a lot of bad movies out there and I couldn't lump this one into it.

Also liked Inception, seems people have problems with this too... I thought it was okay and I even thought the actors and acting was top notch which everyone seems to have a problem with.

 

[[Kira Must Die]]

The Expendables and the new Conan movie. I thought they were both a lot of fun.

 

[bluepotatosack]

Is that the American version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo your friend didn't like? I haven't seen that yet but the Swedish version was damn good.

And I don't know if this counts since I admit that it's not a good movie, but I love Tank Girl.

 

[bossfight1]

the Cat in the Hat movie was funny. Don't know why it got that much stick.

 

[SpaceBat]

I kinda liked Last Action Hero, though it seems the overall reaction to this movie isn't all that good.

Ha that's another one I enjoy. Think its a decent parody and honestly can't see why people hate it that much.

 

[Pebkio]

Oh, and how could I forget, but one of my all-time favorites:

The Fifth Element.

I think I'mma go watch that now...

 

[WanderingFool]

]The Expendables and the new Conan movie. I thought they were both a lot of fun.

I havent seen the new Conan yet, but having watched both the Expendables and Scott Pilgrim, with the opinions on these movies from everyone Ive talked to being the same as MovieBob's (you should all know what that it...), I loved the Expendables and, while not as strong as "hate", didnt care for Scott Pilgrim.

Also Equilibrium... though im not sure if that was an actual bad movie, but most of my friends hate it...

 

[DJDarque]

Everything I've heard about The Spirit was super negative, but I liked that movie. It was delightfully cheesy.

 

[Darks63]

Kung Pow: Enter the fist (by metacritic, 14% critics score)

Street Fighter The Movie

You know street fighter the movie was written by the same person who wrote Die Hard. And in a gloriously cheesy way, it shows and it works! Kung Pow also I can see how people can write it off as being ridiculous, but I love it for it's perfect timing of such absurd humour.

both of these movies are gems especially kung pow i wish the sequel teased at the end would happen, but it seems like its more like a mel brooks sequel teaser.

ot:Im told both Boondock saints are bad but despite that i enjoy watching them.

Perhaps few of you may recognize this after so many years... <font color=red> 1408
- I've been told for years now that I'm despicable for liking what is acclaimed to be one of the worst Stephen King film-adaptations known to date. In it's defence, I can admire how it touches base with Dante's Inferno and how delusive it is in playing with the concepts of suffering and fear. On a physiological level, it's brilliant. On a level of fitting the horror genre, it's not so. I find myself respecting the former above the latter.

 

[OtherSideofSky]

Streets of Fire.

Anything starring Nicholas Cage.

 

[Optiluiz]

Natural Born Killers and Silent Hill come to mind.

 

[w00tage]

Brain Donors.
UHF.
The original Tron.
Circle of Iron (aka The Silent Flute).
Hudson Hawk
TMNT 1.
The Incredibles.
Ratattouille.
Mortal Combat 1.
What Dreams May Come
Hook
The Last Action Hero
(yes I looked at others' selections to find some that I liked too

 

[ace_of_something]

I actually liked the star wars prequals. What? They were fun. It's not like originals weren't a mess in their own ways.

I liked Suckerpunch. I don't get you people.

 

[Leemaster777]

Well...

Mortal Kombat. A fun, silly kung-fu flick. And, despite the lack of gore, surprisingly true to the source material. Easily my favorite video game movie.

Green Lanturn. Okay, It's not THAT great, but I think it isn't NEARLY as bad as SOME (coughmoviebobcough) make it out to be.

The Spirit. Personally, I love it for Samuel Jackson. He's just clearly having WAAAAY too much fun in that role, and I can't help but enjoy it with him.

Kung Pow: Enter the Fist. Really, really funny parody movie. It's kinda the granddaddy of DBZ and Yugioh Abridged.

Freddy vs Jason. Okay, it falls flat on it's face as a horror movie, but really, I find it kinda funny, and the fight between Freddy and Jason at the end is straight-up awesome.

Little Nicky. I was actually surprised that more people don't like this movie, it's hysterical. Probably my favorite Adam Sandler movie.

 

[kickyourass]

Indiana Jones 4: I sometimes feel like I'm the only person who doesn't burst into rage-flames when that movie's mentioned.

The first two Resident Evil movies, mediocre at best, but still about a million times more enjoyable then the games. Plus I'll watch pretty much anything starring Mila Jovovich.

I like the first Mortal Kombat movie alright.

Apperently alot of people didn't like the first Starship Troopers, I get hating the completely wetched sequels, but the first was awesome.

That's all for now.

 

[Thespian]

Sucker Punch
The Fifth Element
Return of the Jedi
The Village
Lady in the Water

No idea why everyone hates M. Night Shyamalan. Okay, fine, the Happening was lame. And what I've seen of Airbender looks pretend-it-never-happened-bad. But I thought the Village and Lady in the Water were both great. A little heavy handed, a little convoluted, but still enjoyable, unpredictable films, no? No? Well alright then.

Green Lanturn. Okay, It's not THAT great, but I think it isn't NEARLY as bad as SOME (coughmoviebobcough) make it out to be.

The Spirit. Personally, I love it for Samuel Jackson. He's just clearly having WAAAAY too much fun in that role, and I can't help but enjoy it with him.

I enjoyed... Parts of the Spirit. But why in hell they decided to practically open the film with the big hero and villain having a mud fight, throwing toilets at each other... Benny Hill music wouldn't have been out of place. Here's hoping Nolan has a scene where Batman challenges Bane to fisticuffs in a a big pile of faeces.
That said, I do like the film, particularly for Sam L as you said.

And Green Lantern... Yeah, I was no fan, but I was surprised Bob was so monumentally opposed to it. I thought X3 and Origins: Wolverine were much worse. Maybe it's just because I cared about the X-men as opposed to the Green Lantern. And not even my favourite green lantern.
