Films You Love, But Everyone Else Hates
 
I want to know what films you really like or Love, yet everyone around you hates. And i mean general opinion of critics and film fans.

I really like Hulk, as some other MoFos do, but the critics BASHED this one.

I also liked Transformers 2, The Beach, The Godfather Part III & Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.

I second Ang Lee's Hulk. I love that movie.

I also am quite fond of Speed Racer.

There are several Brian DePalma films that I'm sure qualify. I love The Black Dahlia. Like both Mission to Mars (probably not well-known enough to be universally hated) and Bonfire of the Vanties (probably derided even more than Hulk).

I also like Ishtar and Sharkboy and Lavagirl (which I saw in 3-D with a few friends and we literally had the theater all to ourselves).

I hate Hulk. :D

The Beach is one of my favorite films of all time, so I'm with you on that one.

Paul Blart: Mall Cop is my biggest one.

I could also say:
Hulk
The Star Wars Prequel Trilogy
Daredevil
Ghost Rider
Spawn
The Fantastic Four movies
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Speed Racer wasn't bad either. There's lots more, I'm sure.

Godfather Part III i think is generally well liked now, although people say it doesn't hold up to the first two for which i also agree.

Star Wars Episode I i like, and no angry Star Wars nerd will change that. **** logic, its Star Wars. Indy 4 is one i also didn't mind. Why do people hate Indy 4 i don't know ?

Star Wars Episode 1, definitely. Also Popeye, Howard the Duck, Superman 3 (Richard Pryor is in it! ), MacGruber, and Batman and Robin. Some fun stuff there.

MacGruber NO WAY! That film as many other SNL films are in my eyes awful, except Blues Brothers.

I thought Wayne's World was good too, but most of them are terrible.

Wow, a lot of love for Hulk. ^_^ I rewatched it a few months ago after seeing it the first time when it came out, and I must agree that it is a fascinating film in dire need of a reassessment---especially in light of its godawful Norton reboot.

And yeah, I've never really understood the cool critical response to Mission to Mars either. It is a very singular alien film in my opinion. The final act is extremely elegant.

Well, you're just proving my point. A lot of people hate the film, but I loved it. I laughed so hard at that I missed a lot of dialogue. :D

WHICH 'Superman'? I think the first one is almost universally loved, but the sequels were progressively hated upon more and more with each release.
