Weren't we keeping this to the last decade?

Re: Movie everyone loved but YOU hated?
 

I saw both Knocked Up and Superbad a couple of weeks apart when I was 17 - the ideal target audience for either movie. I actually reckon Superbad is a slightly superior film, although as a whole I don't really consider it a favourite or a particularly good film.

Slumdog Millionaire. If you want to know why, then go to the Slumdog thread.

Wouldn't say hate but do find myself frequently in the minority about not loving Knocked Up and Finding Nemo

Re: Movie everyone loved but YOU hated?
 

I really HATED No Country For Old Men.

Spoilers...

Killing the main focus OFF SCREEN, quitting and giving up and letting the bad guy limp away. Sorry, I just hated it. How can anyone think that frustrating an audience is quality cinema? Pretentious, crude, cruel, bizarre and not even remotely as clever as it pretends to be.

Re: Movie everyone loved but YOU hated?
 

The message is exactly what the title implies No Country For Old Men and of course being made by the Coens it's not going to tie up into a nice bundle where every plot is resolved with a happy ending. I thought it was grand because it does get your hopes up that he may stand a chance.

To be fair, I don't hate The Shawshank Redemption but I hope you see my point.

The Dark Knight.

Re: Movie everyone loved but YOU hated?
 

Well I didn't quite hate it, but Harold and Maude.

So wait... I'm a bit confused... Earlier you complain that Shawshank sucks because they give the audience the ending they want, and yet here you slay No Country for Old Men for ending the film in a unique way which wasn't how you wanted it to end?

So which is it?

Meanwhile, both these films are adaptations of earlier works, so isn't your problem with both films really a problem with the source material?

That said - I think Shawshank is a weak film, more because it's a manipulative, sappy melodrama than the reasons you list.

The Notebook

People will think I have a deathwish for saying that :bored:

My major ones are Gone With the Wind and Titanic... but since it says in the last decade, I'm going with Slumdog Millionaire... which I couldn't even finish... and The Watchmen... which I don't actually hate but really don't understand all the praise for either because I thought it was just so-so...

I loved Gone With The Wind and Watchmen!

But I didn't like Titanic or the newer version of Romeo And Juliet

Dicaprio is sexy, but I don't like his acting

Re: Movie everyone loved but YOU hated?
 

Titanic

Who loves Titanic anymore? :p

Actually, that wasn't him. I just edited his quoted post, changing in some words and names in order to show that it's all a matter of opinion and that his line of reasoning could just as easily be applied to the opposite end of the spectrum.

Sorry for the confusion.

I haven't seen it for about 10 years now, but I used to really like it. Of course, it's not the same watching it at home as it was at the cinema. I'll have to take another look at it one day.

I can't stand E.T.

Maybe I am heartless, but I never really understood the overwhelming popularity of that movie.
