Me with Iron Lung
Oh, yeah damn, I liked that too, didn’t realise it wasn’t received well!
There’s two of us!
Really liked Lucky Number Slevin. I wasn’t a fan of Lucy Liu until that movie … then I looked it up later and was like “oh, thought the RT score on this would have been better …”
I like that one, too. I quote it regularly.
Listening to the opinions of smelly internet people is not useful for matters of taste
I like Super Troopers. It is sometimes just what you need.
The analogy I use is "If someone sets out to make Pepperoni Pizza you have to review it by the standards of Pepperoni Pizza. If you eat it and say “Its the worst soup I ever had” its not the chef who fucked up. "
For me it was people shitting on TRON:Legacy. I saw it opening weekend in 3D by myself. Fucking loved it. Saw it a second time the following weekend with my gf at the time. She was indifferent to it. I still loved it. Then other people would bash it and even The Big Bang Theory jumped on the tron bashing bandwagon. As far as I care, everyone else is wrong, that movie was amazing for a reboot.
It’s not without it’s faults but TRON:Legacy is my all time favourite movie. It’s a shame it wasn’t well recieved.
That movie was amazing. And even if you don’t like the movie itself you’d have to admit the music is one of the best soundtracks ever made for a movie.
We can disagree on the movie rating, but you’re right that the soundtrack is amazing. It is something I still listen to today.
Not one mention of Battlefield Earth? Really?
Yes, it’s a terrible movie. Nobody watching this (except maybe John Travolta) ever thinks its a good movie. But it is.
You just have to shut your brain off entirely. Johnny alien (travolta) runs around like an English major high on bath salts. Thousand year old military tech works flawlessly. Humans are so dumb they literally cant tell gold ore and solid gold ingots apart. The dumb humans manage to build and deploy a nuclear weapon in 7 days. Its so horrifically, nut crushingly stupid that it swings all the way around to comedy.
I try to avoid "Earth"flicks because they all have long backstory of why Earth is not the Earth we know.
I taught the guy who built miniature sets for that movie. I didn’t teach him how to build the sets, I taught him how to do multimedia presentations for hockey arenas.
I don’t want to give you bad news, but I guess…well, he’s not behaving as if he’s all that clear on how to do multimedia presentations for hockey arenas, is he? I mean, it’s probably not your fault, but it sure looks like he’s missed the mark entirely, what a goof!
That was after his work on the movies
Welp, an already dumb joke now in tatters, appreciate the clarification lol
I don’t care what others think. If I like it, I like it. Nobody else’s opinion is going to matter to me.
Liking something doesn’t qualify if it’s bad.
My relationship with Morbius.
Sure, the acting and dialogue is bum, but the story, pacing, etc isn’t that bad.
CGI, while not great by any means, does it’s job.
I’d give it a solid 6/10 rather than the absolutely abysmall ratings given to it officially.
My experience with watching the movie was seeing it streamed on Twitch shortly after release, chroma-keyed just slightly so that anything blue-ish instead showed an endless loop of Milo’s ridiculous sex dance. I think it was the streamer’s attempt to bypass automatic DMCA protections.
This went on almost 24/7 for about a week or so. Every time the account got banned, a new one would pop up a couple hours later. I must have watched the full movie this way 8 times or so. It was magical.
For me that movie was Gentlemen Broncos. It’s one of my favourite movies of all time. I think it’s hilarious, clever and imaginative. I adore the bizarre characters and I love watching all the different interpretations of the sci-fi story the protagonist wrote. Online reviews consider it average at best and the humour juvenile.
I usually have it the other way around. I’ll watch something, think it’s bad only to discover it has 90% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Yeah Rotten Tomatoes is a shit show now
Yea that was me and Everything everywhere all at once
That movie was so boring. It’s like Hollywood was trying to spoof multiverse movies, but every where I look was people speaking highly of it. Waste of time more like it.
I literally walked out of the theater like half way through.
And it’s impossible to know if they’re artificial or if people actually like garbage.
Yes, that’s the other problem. Luckily I’m sailing the high seas so I don’t waste money.
I find fandoms on reddit to be a decent gauge. I’ve been in one that was torn in half after the final season. It was hot garbage, but IMDB would make you believe it was actually good. Rotten Tomatoes was also more realistic. I guess good thing IMDB locked reading reviews behind login. I’m not tempted to waste my time on it anymore.
Yeah, amazon bought out IMDB, try The Movie Data Base, open source. It’s a pretty awesome replacement.
That’s the fucking Barbie movie.
In The Grey. Thought it was a great movie I was engaged the whole time. I check reviews and it is apparently terrible.
Rebel Moon. I watched it on Netflix and was like, welp, so much for Star Wars, they might as well hang it up bc they can’t compete with this. So I immediately go online and learn everyone HATES it.
I must be the only one with good taste
These movies were such Zack Snyder movies that they felt like a parody of Zack Snyder movies.
Is that the one where the moon opens up and attacks us? I might be getting movies confused. I think I remember a pitch meeting video on it
Nah it’s a farmers rebellion against an evil empire. It even has a princess with a robot servant.
Fuck yeah! And a guy tames a griffin. It was sweet as shit.
What’s worse is watching a movie years after release, liking it and wondering why there is no sequel. Only to find out one person involved raped everybody.
Holy what now ?
Other peoples opionions of stuff I enjoy does not effect my enjoyment.
There was a Disney TV show back in 1991 called “The 100 lives of Black Jack Savage”. My brother and I were super into the show and then it was suddenly canceled. Turns out it’s considered one of the worst shows of all time.
