As much as I dislike Will Smith in Independence Day, Jeff Goldblum makes almost anything watchable.
Films that sucked, but everyone else liked...
- Thread starter Warped9
- Start date
Pirates of the Caribbean 2 & 3 – They need to be about 8 hours longer
Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers – I actually started to fall asleep in this movie
Transformers 2 – When someone decides to team up with Hasbro and actually make a Transformers movie that focuses on Transformers rather than ‘splosions, bathroom humor, idiot boy, and the eye candy girl, you guys let me know. If I wanted things to blow up, I’d go to a Vin Diesel movie. If I wanted bathroom humor and idiot boys, I’d watch an Adam Sandler movie. Eye candy girls are readily available when needed.
Twilight Series – Never seen it, but if the writing in the movies is as terrible as it is on the books, I’m sure it sucks
As a side note, I never understood all the love for Star Trek IV. Not saying it’s a terrible movie, but why that one of all TOS movies made more money over TWOK and TUC I’ll never understand.

^Fonts and sizes are fixed on the T-BBS! (as are colours!
You actually wrote all of those font/size tags???
I'd recommend installing a spell checker (and a BBCode) add-on in your browser - has done wonders for my posting!
^ Ha ha ha, no. I wrote the reply in Word for spelling, then copied and pasted. Looked fine. When I posted the reply, then all the tags appeared so I had to go and edit them out.
At home I use Firefox in Linux and it flags words that may have spelling errors in the browser. At work, my choices are limited and I can't install anything. I have to make due.

Okay I haven't read the entire thread since quite honestly, I started and got a bit angry. But I will contribute with one I thought of:
The Goonies.
Seriously, what the fuck? I'm a kid of the 80s and it seems everyone else my age loves this. I can't see why. It's not really good on any level.

I HATE the Goonies.
Sorry for the lateness of the reply. I've been accessing the internet via my phone and posting is a pain-in-the-ass!
EternalSunshine os pretty near the top of my list of movies "everyone" else liked but I hated I only made it about an hour in before I had to turn it off. Just couldn't connect on any level. The amount of praise it gets makes me want to re-visit it at some point though. Maybe I was just having an off day?
THE GOONIES I watched for the first time a few months ago. I didn't hate it but it didn't really do anything for me. It felt like one of those movies you had to have seen as a kid to fully enjoy. I had a chance to watch THE GOONIES the theaters, but In opted for a special showing of GODZILLA 1985 instead. I'm still not sure if I made the correct choice.
Why would you get angry?
Casablanca (not a horrible film, but just a cheesy WW2 melodrama, and the ending makes no sense. *The most overrated film ever)
Titanic (cheesy and boring. Though it's not exactly true that everyone liked it, I know other people who dislike it almost as much)
The Blair Witch Project (boring and not at all scary)
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (it is good in parts, but there's too much mainstream 80s comedy and the SAVE THE WHALES thing makes Let That Be Your Last Battlefield seem subtle)
and if TV shows count, 24 = garbage
* Just in the unlikely case there's someone who hasn't seen the film, I'm putting it in spoiler tags:

OK, so Ilsa loves Rick, but she "needs" to be with Victor out of some sense of duty? Right? Why the hell? I'd understand if she felt she needed to go and fight for the resistance, but why would she need to remain Victor's wife and how does that help his cause? Is she his life support system or what?

The Goonies are good enough for me.
Easily one of my all-time favorite movies. Super Sloth FTW!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't like Casablanca. It's not godawful per se, just boring and nonsensical.
Yeah it was originally supposed to be about popular films you dislike, but it sort of went downhill after a while.
I liked Children of Men, and cried at the end. For, like, 20 minutes.
And I loved American Beauty. That ending. The song. Wow.

Yeah me too, after I realized I could have put the money I wasted to much better use.
Aw, come on, Clive Owen bleeding to death makes me cry, what can I say.
It's like Sean Bean who keeps dying in forests.

Me too, if I held the gun.
However, I prefer a bat.
I like to savior the moment.
Sounds like fun. Like the Joker said, with a knife you can savour all the little emotions.
