The Abyss is his bad movie? Darn, and Avatar is good? This is a bizarre world...
I loved Abyss.
I loved Abyss.
And of course this exchange:"You are like ze buzzing of flaies to him!"Ghostbusters II. Although I think it's more "less liked" than "hated" in general. That Vico was one badass mofo painting.
No no, the best line in the whole thing was this:
"Why am I drippings with goo?"
"You mean you never even had a Slinky?
"We had part of a Slinky. But I straightened it."
Correct.
2012. I liked it. Cool, great effects and fun to watch. No fantastic and epic story, so what.
This.
I like the 2008 version just fine. But, I definately side with anybody who prefers the original.
I am legend. I liked the original Omega man just fine, but the new version is still very frightening.
I do have a soft spot for ST:TMP and TFF despite pacing issues for number 1 and some crippling plot holes in the script for Five. However number 1 just feels so STAR TREK and TFF is full of charming character moments and some of the most powerful stuff when Spock and especially McCoy face their fears.
I also don't hate The Matrix sequels, Indy 4 and the SW prequels though I wouldn't quite say I love em, well maybe Episode III

I've lost track of whether these have been mentioned...
HANCOCK -- I know people complained about the change in tone, but I loved the surprise.
THE SPIRIT -- Maybe I just have a really weird sense of humor or something, but I thought it was funny and struck the right note for the comic book it was representing. (And I keep thinking that Gabriel Macht would have been the perfect Britt Reid in place of Seth Rogen. Ah, well...)
THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN -- *shugs helplessly* Hey, I thought it was a lot of fun. And I like that they used practical effects as much as possible. I watch it pretty much every time I find it playing (usually on FX a lot, I think).
Oh, and Peta Wilson should be in more stuff. Ditto Naseeruddin Shah. And yum, Tony Curran.

Agreed on ST1 & 5. Indy 4 was alright, not as good as the originals, but a decent time. Matrix 2 was okay, Matrix 3 had epic battles, but the Neo=Jesus thing was pretentious and stupid. Star Wars Prequels...ugh. We diverge on that one.
Not sure if I have a movie to contribute myself...I usually rag on whatever boring movie gets an oscar. I think the only watchable Best Picture winner in the last decade was "Gladiator." I liked the Max Payne movie with Marky Mark, That 70's chick, and Ludacris. Lord of War with Nick Cage was a really good movie. Crank with Jason Stathem was hilarious the first time through, mostly because I was expecting a vastly more serious film. The sequel was godawful though. Wild Wild West with Will Smith was good buddy flick with a different atmosphere, and a pretty good take on the series.
this movie is a guilty pleasure of mine. i know its nowhere near as good as the comic, but i still enjoy it.
