Movie everyone loved but YOU hated?

Edit: I'll add Pineapple Express. Started off kind of ok - but guess I'm not a young stoner dude so missed the meeting on it.

At the risk of being torn apart by brand spanking new avid trekkies, I will admit I hated the new Star Trek film.

It was big, It was loud and it was stupid. Big and loud are not bad in and of themselves but if you add stupid to the equation it creates a boredom factor that increases exponentially. I found this movie difficult to sit through. And most egregious of all it was silly.

JJ Abrams is the worst thing to happen to the Star Trek franchise.

My first problem is with the casting. Chris Pine and the young man who played Spock have little or no machismo. Bill Shatner, whatever you may think of his acting chops, is a guy with a masculine charisma. Leonard Nimoy has the aura of the strong silent type. The new Spock comes off as a wimp. And the story undercuts the Spock mystique of being the unemotional and unattainable fantasy figure by giving him a girlfriend, who busts his stones. What the heck?

The car chase. Hated it. The bar fight. Hated it. Every darn thing was over the top.

The Act in which Vulcan is under attack and they clear out Star Fleet Academy graduation ceremonies in order to save Vulcan is ridiculous. Why are people who just graduated running the bridge of a Starship? Are there no qualified people already in Star Fleet? Why do they empty the Academy for this emergency? When you call the cops, they send the nearest cruiser, they don't call the Police Academy and say send us your newbies in a brand new crown vic. Just because you get to pilot a ship in a battle due to unforeseen circumstances, it doesn't mean you will get to keep it. Is there no chain of command? Vulcan is part of the Federation; why does it have no protection? Why does the Enterprise have to rush back to Earth in order to save it? Are there no other Star Fleet vessels guarding the home base of the Federation?

The old Star Trek at least made some sense militarily. There is no logic behind any of the decisions in this movie accept movie franchise logic.

I have to agree. Not only this, but also Anchorman. Everyone I know claimed that these were th funniest films ever made. I chuckled once ortwice, but these were generally not funny.

At least it's the kind of movie that makes you think...

Hate to see it confused...I thought it was pretty straightforward..

E.T. - It came from Outer Space and bored me to death.

Titanic: Boring movie, shocking dialogue, inevitable ending, personally thought that Cameron should have just said 'sod it' and had the ship sail to America without incident seeing as its 'based' on true events,

Gangs Of New York: Just a miserable movie that I didn't enjoy despite having a very strong cast. I was genuinely disappointed by the movie

Transformers: Michael Bay was involved

Superman Returns: BORING!!!! Superman stops a plane from crashing then sulks for the rest of the movie, to quote Kevin Smith "The whiny EMO Superman

The Departed
The Royal Tenenbaums
Saw
Kill Bill

Wow... some of the previous picks read like a laundry list of my all-time favorite movies: Gladiator, Ratatouille (my jaw literally dropped when I saw that one), The Departed, Finding Nemo, Tropic Thunder, Frailty, The Dark Knight, The Shawshank Redemption, Pirates of the Caribbean (I mean the sequels weren't that great, but the original?)


Anyway, here are my picks:

No Country For Old Men
There Will Be Blood
American Psycho
O'Brother Where Art Thou
The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford
Gangs Of New York
Saw
Kill Bill
All of LOTR
All of Star Wars
All of Harry Potter
Evil Dead I and II (Love Bruce Campbell, loved Army of Darkness, but not this crap)
Iron Man
Kung Fu Panda
Sweeney Todd
300
Little Miss Sunshine
Zack and Miri Make A Porno
The Royal Tenenbaums
The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou

Oh, and I didn't hate it, but I felt The Wrestler was vastly overrated.

And, not from this decade, but I CAN'T STAND A Clockwork Orange.

Saw: it may have been a box office hit , but nowdays I can't think of a lot of people who actually like it...are you sure about this?, because most of the people i know say it's an overal average to very bad movie ( i am also one of those).


The Life Aquiatic... : This is more of a cult movie, so i cant see how everyone knows it and loves it...

Saw has enough of an audience that it has spawned a million sequels, so obviously there's enough people who still like it to make it profitable.

As for The Life Aquatic, it seems to be very popular among movie fans that I've talked to.

There are quite a few of those films I've heard people dislike. I'm with you on 300 tho. It was just gory and fake-looking. And I Hate Harry Potter! O' Brother Where Art Thou? I enjoyed but I could see where someone wouldn't like it. As for Star Wars, I could understand that choice as well.

Well clearly there isn't any one single move that literally everyone loved, but I've listed movies that I didn't like but seemed to be popular with movie goers and/or were critically acclaimed.

Alright, now your just fighting dirty. The Departed was awesome!
The few that I can think of are:
Harry Potter
Borat
Knocked UP
Jay and Silent Bob

Huh? From the last decade? Okay.

Kill Bill and Dead Proof

Heat was absolutely dull, I can't believed it was praised for it's "flawed, interesting characters" because to me they weren't interesting at all, especially Pacino's wife. Although the street shootout almost saved the movie, along with "Shut up, Ralph, SIT DOWN!" Priceless Pacino.

Raging Bull was also extremely dull and uninteresting, and not just because it has one of the most unlikable, horrible main characters of any film I've ever seen. I realize that's the "point" of the movie, about the downfall of this man, etc, but to me he had no depth, he was just a loser who beat women and drank. Nothing interesting about that. In my eyes, it's one of Scorsese's worst.

And don't even get me STARTED on Slumdog Millionare, oh man, what a joke.

Pretty much all comedy. Not because I don't like a good comedy, it's just so few of them.

Also Troll 2.. I can't say "everyone" thinks it's good but me, but a friend of mine swears it disturbs him greatly. He's a 20 year old guy who has too cover his face at certain scenes, while I sit there laughing at him.. Yay 2nd graders zooming about in goblin costumes.. Hmm why is it called troll anyway, theres no trolls in it lol..

Haha me too

Sounds like he must have been very little when he saw it and just got totally freaked out in a way that stayed with him his whole life. Things like that happen, you know.

Also, interesting to see that you're the kind of person who laughs at a friend getting greatly disturbed regardless of the reason.
