Movies you hate, that people love

[Yellow Jacket]

With the success of "Movie's you love that Suck", I decided to make the "Movies You Hate, That People Love." So, what are the movies you didn't like, that others mostly did?


Here are mine:

Signs
Dogma (let the ranting begin)
Batman Begins (I left the theater, so I'm not giving you my final opinion)
Sleepy Hollow
The Ring
Napolean Dynamite
The Last House on the Left

[RavageRitual]

^^^I hate dogma too^^^

I also didnt like Day of the Dead

Didnt like Pchyco at all either

Thank dogma! :p I thought I was the only one out there. Just wasn't as funny as Mallrats or Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (though the beginning was hilarious.)

Well all those that you picked, I love (except for Batman Begins which I have yet to see). So good choices! LOL...I actually think Dogma is a love it or hate it kind of film for most people.

Let's see:

The Life of David Gale: I actually know nothing about how it did critically but I know people raved about this movie to me for months and I was so excited to see it. The cast was exceptional and had not one, but two of my favorite actors. But that movie didn't work at all for me. AT ALL. I was just disgusted honestly.

The Birds: The only Hitchcock film I have seen that I flat out dislike.

El Marichi/Deperado/Once Upon A Time In Mexico: I watched all three because I swear everyone I know loves them. I don't get it; Johnny Depp couldn't even save Once Upon A Time in Mexico for me....and believe me that is saying something.

[noctuary]

*Jumps on the bandwagon* I also hate Dogma.

I'm not a big fan of modern comedies at all, but to narrow it down a little, I'll say that I do not like any movie that features Will Ferrell. The man is an abscess on the face of cinema. I was also forced to watch Napoleon Dynamite recently, which it seems many people like a lot. I found it repellent.

[IDrinkYourBlood]

Donnie Darko hate it....hate it so much.

Shit, I forgot about Napolean Dynamite. It was a huge disappointment IMO. Wasn't funny at all.

:p

No I suppose we don't.
I thought at first it was because Antonio Banderas annoyed me so much (I saw Desperado first) but I have come to realize, I just honestly do not understand the appeal of these films. And I like many movies that could be considered "Guy-Flicks".:D

The Ring

Yeah, I didn't like that one either. I just edited my first post and put that on my list. Can't believe I forgot about that one.

[kpropain]

Another one I meant to add was the Ginger Snaps films....I thought they sucked and so many people love them...I just didn't see what all the fuss was about, I mean I tried to give them a chance....I watched the first two, but just couldn't bare to sit through a third feast of that shit....pure garbage in my book...

And don't me wrong, I loved Ringu, but the Ring just sucked big floppy donkey cocks IMHO....And don't even get me started on Ring 2

[jenna26]

Ooh, can't believe I forgot The Ring also. That movie was a HUGE letdown for me. I heard such great things. Very disappointing.

Forgot about Last House on the Left. I'll have to edit my list once again. Thanks for participating and reminding me that Last House on the Left was a disappointment.

[GeekLove]

ok, you asked for it:

The entire Matrix trilogy- I fell asleep during the last 2
Blair Witch Project - didn't live up to the hype & it wasn't original (Cannibal Holocaust had the same premise)

[Yellow Jacket]

Oh, I also have to put out there that I hated all three of the Lord of the Rings movies. Didn't care for the books, didn't care for the movies.

[EXTR3MIST]

Blair Witch Project - didn't live up to the hype & it wasn't original (Cannibal Holocaust had the same premise)

But Cannibal Holocaust was essentially three films in one ("real", "staged" & "real/staged), whereas The Blair Witch Project managed to sustain its "authentic, found footage" from beginning to end with no reprieve for the viewer.

To today's jaded audiences, pulling off such a feat and captivating millions with this unique idea was maybe only a matter of time, but the execution of BWP is impeccable.

[Prelude95Si]

Blair Witch Project, forced myself to stay awake.
Cast Away, again wanted to sleep.
Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2.
Titanic.
Hilander
Exorsist
Lord of the Rings
The Ring 1 & 2, mostly #2.
Open Water, has to be the worst movie I've ever seen, close call between this and Alone in the Dark.

[MichaelMyers]

1000 Corpses.

[HappyCamper]

I hate all three of 'The Matrix' films.

Can't stand Titanic (worked in a theater when it came out!).

Million Dollar Baby even though i haven't seen it, i'm sure i'll dislike it.

I guess you haven't seen where it ranks as far as all time grossing films. ;)

YellowJacket... no prob. :)

BTW... I halfway agree about the Matrix Trilogy... nowhere near as good as the hype it got, but I don't 'hate' it.

LOTR I'm pretty much in the same area as Matrix... though the final installment really bored the fuck out of me, which is really odd... cause you'd think the finally would be really exciting.

[RavageRitual]

I friggen hated the matrix

[Haunted]

H1000C- Goddess that movie was terrible

LOTR movies...So acted- the acting wasn't believable, you could hear the director almost...DUMB!

Dark Water- I quote Homer Simpson, "Booooooring."

I'm with you guys on Dogma. The funniest character was Matt Damon...bad sign.

Also hated the Matrix films, however I love Kerry Anne Moss.

I only saw the first one, and I wasn't really impressed either. I liked girls posing dead in the begining, but after that it went all down hill. A friend of mine is REALLY into that movie, but I think he atleast knows it sucked and loved it anyway so it's forgivable.

Other than that, I put in another vote for Napolean Dynamite. It was a waste of time... and I'm useless... my time has no value and I still feel robbed.

Not that I "hate" it, but The Exorcist is so incredibly overrated. It's OK in my opinion, but not nearly as good as everyone seems to think. IMO.

[ItsAlive75]

I hate Jaws because I hate Richard Dreyfus. He just sounds like someone's meticulously twisting his nutsack every time he delivers his lines.

One of the few movies that genuinely terrified me as a child....I couldn't even watch it all the way through until I was in my late teens.

I don´t know why, but movies about psychos and serial killers has never frightened me. It might had made me think about the human brain and capability once or twice, but never creeped me out.
Only supernatural horror movies has and can still scare me. And thank god for that.:)

Well, I'm much more frightened of a psycho with a chainsaw then I am of the supernatural....I figure with my luck I am much more likely to run into one of them....:eek: ;)

So true.;)


But let me explaine it like this.

If a psycho one day should happen to stand in my doorway with a running chainsaw in his hand, i would be horrified for sure and run for my life.
But if i saw a ghost, one night, come crawling around my closet, i think my heart would stop beating instantly.

The ghost might not mean you harm....but you know that if you have a psycho standing in your doorway with a chainsaw....he ain't there to play...;)

I think your fears are much more common than mine.

I still fear the same things as i did when i was a child, even though i resently realised that killer movies is unpleasent to watch. It least you´ve grown up.;)

The use of the word "ain't" is what I was referring to....;)

I've grown up? Pfft....that is what scared me as a child...:p Actually, to tell the absolute truth a ghost creeping around would probably stop my heart as well. Poltergiest was another movie that scared the hell out of me when I was a kid. :eek:

I also thought "Poltergeist" was scary as hell when i was a child. The tree, the guy picking his face and the skeletons in the "pool". Those were the scary highlights for me. :)

Who knows if dentists are funny? You only associate them with pain.
Coz the only thing you can hear, as soon as you enter a dentist clinic, is your own voice telling you "oh shit this is going to hurt... Pain, pain, pain, pain...etc.". Who can seriously remember what their dentist has said, except for the classics "This might hurt a little" & "remember to floss".;)

[BillyNedar]

Right on this one. I like Kev Smith films just fine, but this one was crap.

True....;)

But my dentist always smells faintly of vodka....which certainly isn't funny when he is using the drill.... :eek: And his jokes are lame....:rolleyes:

On the topic of Kevin Smith, I haven't seen Jersey Girl, nor do I have the desire to. And I am not a fan of Chasing Amy and others seem to really like it.

[noctuary]

One that I forgot to mention the first time around: Pearl Harbor. The movie itself is an offensive piece of crap, but what kills it is Affleck. Oh Affleck, how I loathe thee. He's a hateful, malignant troll and should never, ever be allowed within five hundred yards of a movie set.

Pearl Harbor was horrid. I actually didn't even make it through that movie (that hardly ever happens). If I had, I imagine it would have made me physically ill.

I completely agree. The movie not only lacks credibility, but there is nothing even remotely interesting about it. And yes, I know many people that loved it. It isn't even bad in a good way, if you know what I mean. Just...bad.

[jenna26]

That's quite a list. :D
Some of them I haven't seen and some I am neutral on and some I like, but I will say this: Eyes Wide Shut was yet another huge disappointment to me. I had huge expectations for that one and in the end, it just seemed so pointless. It had great potential, and had several wonderful scenes, but it lacked something....like a plot...LOL...;)

[starsign1]

Pulp Fiction - I don't get the hype...am I missing something?

Underworld (I think that's the name?) - Boring, bad acting.

Dirty Dancing - Again, I just don't get the fuss? Although, I'm not a big Patrick Swayzee fan, that could be part of me not getting it.

Happy Gilmore - Hate it, hate it, hate it with a passion lol!(Almost anything and EVERYTHING with Adam Sandler).

Legends of the Fall - OMG Brad Pitt is such a LAME actor. He is wooden, bland, lacking in range/depth, and just plain boring. I also hate that one he was in about the Dalai Lama (as a child, etc).

Titanic - What a yawn fest lol. When the ship sank was the best part of the film. Watching Leo and Kate make out made my skin crawl. What an awful film, and sooooo much money to make it.

Have to agree with you on this one (EWS) I thought it was such an anti-climax film. All of the hype surrounding it...then seeing it and feeling disappointed. I'm sorry but Nicole Kidman cannot act (and I'm an aussie lol). She was awful in the movie, her love scenes with Tom were cold and passionless. I found the movie quite funny especially in the so-called dark/sombre scenes. I actually couldn't believe how bad it was.

Vanilla Sky - Just plain bad!
