Y'know what? I LIKED IT DAMMIT!!!

[Angelus SnV]

Metallica's S&M is still my favorite album of all time.

I also didn't think Load/Reload were awful by any means.

I LOVED S&M!!!! And Load was my first Metallica album...(i've collected a few others since then o'course)

 

[Vhite]

I watched Uwe Bolls Postal several times and I loved it. There could be no better way how to make movie out of that game.
I wont start talking about games that are shitty and I still like them because then I would be here a whole day.

 

[SimuLord]

I have to cast serious question on your tastes. But as far as liking something that received widespread condemnation?

Well, if Metacritic is to be believed, Victoria has no business in my top ten all-time favorite games list.

 

[Angelus SnV]

Adam West is the definitive Batman.

See, i was cool (not agreeing with necessarily, but perfectly cool with) with all the things you mentioned, up until this one...

while i'm still not sayin' you're wrong (as that would eliminate the entire purpose of this forum), i still say that my favorite on-screen Batman is Micheal Keaton....or, (if he counts) Kevin Conroy because anything Batman related he has to do with is just GOLD!!!

 

[Angelus SnV]

I have to cast serious question on your tastes.

Question away...hell, i'm even curious as to which ones you're "questioning"...o'course, that's probably easy to figure out...

 

[Syntax Man]

I'm not going into too much detail because it is my opinions here and I don't have to explain myself.

I think that FF IV, VI, IX, XII, and XIII are good while the rest is shit. *raises flame shield*

I like the new Transformers movies.

I like the Star Wars prequel trilogy.

I like Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

I like Gundam SEED/Destiny

I like Halo 3 ODST.

I like Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions

I like both Force Unleashed games.

I like the Pirates of the Caribbean sequels.

And FUCK everyone who tries to tell me different and convince others instead of letting them form their own opinions.

I've got something I hate that people seem to love!

Inception. I have many reasons for this.


- Leonardo DiCaprio is, and always has been, an utter tool. He has never made a good movie, in my opinion. Titanic was boring and long-winded, Shutter Island was basically "They woke up and it was a dream", Catch Me If You Can was a jumbled mess, and the only good thing about The Departed was "Shipping Up To Boston" by Dropkick Murphys.

- The ending which EVERYONE knows by now, was entirely unnecessary. I'm sorry, but why couldn't they have wrapped it up instead of trying to be all deep and give the plot a few extra possibilities? It was just a terrible idea that was SOOOOO cliché.

- The movie idea in general was so iffy. Stealing/planting ideas from/into people's dreams? Seriously? No. Just plain ridiculous.

Oh, if you say "Oh, you obviously just didn't understand it hurr hurr derp!", no, fuck off, I understood perfectly what was going on, it was just overrated SHIT.

I'm going to bring up an issue with your second two points there, because while you're entitled to your opinion on Leonardo di Caprio's acting ability, and I agree to an extent, the ending to Inception was there to keep the film in people's minds, it wasn't a few extra possibilities, it was a black and white "The world is/isn't a dream" left ambiguous to stick in your mind. People have just blown it out of proportion by overthinking it.

Secondly, many other movies/books/comics/games can be called "Just plain ridiculous" if the idea is taken down to the core elements: Batman is a guy in a costume beating people up, Lord of the Rings is people getting in trouble while trying to break a ring, Shadow of the Colossus is a guy killing big things.
All of them when taken at face value are just plain ridiculous, but that doesn't stop the rest of the pieces from being good.

I respect your opinions here, and I'm not saying they're wrong, because they're opinions, I'm just asking you look at things a on little bigger scale or from a different perspective and reconsider.

OT: Actually, nearly all of the things on your list there, OP, I've given their chance, and have disliked. I didn't think Episode III was that bad, but was dragged down by what was set out previously in the prior two films. I don't like Ke$ha and Kanye because I don't like the way their music sounds. I read all of the Twilight books and loathed them not just because they got vampires terribly wrong, or the bad writing, or the implausible plot and one dimensional characters, or the fandom. I hated it because of all those things combined (excluding the fandom) are what make a bad book. I disliked the second two Matrix films because they were pretty poorly made. I can't say I hate all boybands, but a fair few of them simply aren't my kind of thing.
I can't pass judgement on Dick Grayson Batman, or Smallville because I never really paid much attention to them.

I don't judge you for having those opinions, that's what you think, and so be it, feel free to like and dislike what you want.

Personally, right now I can't think of much that I like that most don't except being a sucker for RomComs, enjoying Glee and not minding Halo much.

I thought Bioshock 2 had better story and gameplay than the first. You may now pelt me with stones.

I nearly agree with you. But I felt that BioShock 1 had a better story than two, but 2 had a more original story than 1. How is that so? Simple, BioShock had ripped off the whole story to System Shock 2, so the first game story it was something that I had already experienced. BioShock 2 is superior than 1 just because of that, at least for me.

You obviously didn't understand it and your opinion about DiCaprio is just utterly ridiculous. Yep.

 

[Blue Musician]

Lets see...

-I liked Final Fantasy the Spirits Within
-I like MGS2, even with Raiden replacing Snake. It was a nice change of pace. But I don't get why he needed to be naked for some time...
-I like Silent Hill 4
-I liked the Star Wars prequels.
-I liked Deus Ex Invisible War. Maybe a little bit more than the original game, not sure why though since DX1 was far superior.
-I liked Thief 3, though it is the weakest in the series. Shalebridge Cradle FTW!
-I didn't enjoy CoD4.
-I think Prince of Persia: Warrior Within was the best in the series.
-I liked Pathologic's translation problems.
-I liked the know-it-all AI from Far Cry.
-I liked Prototype.
-I liked the Pirates of the Caribbean sequels.
-Liked the Matrix trilogy.
-I loved Angel Beats, despite what most otakus think about it apparently. I'm not sure if this should be on the list though...
-I think Neon Genesis Evangelion is one of the best series ever.

Will update list if I can remember anything else...

 

[Burningsok]

The two hour movies Syfy channel makes. yeah, they're cheesy and stupid, but damnit they're fun.

I'm right with ya on that one so bad it's goooood

 

[VanityGirl]

I like Avatar and Family Guy. Oh noes! I must be as deep as a puddle to like those things. *rolls eyes*

Also, I really enjoy the Halo series. So there!

 

[Something Amyss]

When did these become things that separated people from the pack? People fawned all over Avatar, and any criticism I ever levied against Family Guy (Which weren't huge, mind) was met with massive amounts of hate for daring to "hate on" the series.

 

[ajb924]

Hmm... Well, where should I start?

I fucking love Shoujo Romance anime, I'm a straight guy
Drrrr is much better than Baccano
Endless eight was the high point of Haruhi season 2 in my opinion.
Outlaw Star is so much better than Bebop, there's no contest.
FFVII was way overrated, and IV is probably the best game in the series.
I think The World Ends With You is an overall better game then the Kingdom Hearts ones. Even the original two.

Huh, I thought there'd be more than that.

 

[Blackflame140]

Being a heavy metal fan, I really enjoy Panic at the Disco..

Love slap stick humor, simpsons, family guy, american dad.

Left 4 Dead is an alright game.

I love anime.

I think Doctor Who is an alright Tv show.

Well anytime I bring the above mentioned things up on this site I get: "Halo is so stupid. Play something better"

"Avatar is so overrated! Go watch a deep movie"

There's plenty of hate for the popular. In fact, most things OP mentioned are quite popular to most, yet recieve tons of hate on this site.

 

[AstylahAthrys]

I like the Star Wars Prequels. I like the OT more, but the PT was fun. I also think Halo is a bunch of fun and it's one of my favorite series. I liked the Sonic Adventure games (though none after) and I think Oblivion is better than Fallout 3.

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

I enjoyed every single CoD game ever and I think Michael Bay's alright, because, apart from the colossal failures of Armageddon and Pearl Harbor, his movies are pretty good.

On the opposite side of things, Avatar's a terrible movie I can't believe people enjoyed and Inception's an average movie I can't believe people enjoyed as much as they did. But, hey, tastes differ.

 

[Darth Crater]

The Eragon series. This MAY be entirely due to my alternate interpretation of the story - that is, that it's the story of a D&D campaign through the eyes of a PC...

 

[robodukky]

You know what? Despite everyone saying it sucked, I genuinely liked Halo Wars. Admittedly, it would have been way better on PC and the flood being in it was retarded, but I still liked it anyway.

*edit*

I also liked ODST as well and liked Bioshock 2.
