OverHATED Movies

[Olivia Bauer]

Movies you like that have very low rating. Use rotten tomatoes for comparison.

Troll 2, Beerfest, Birdemic, Manos: The Hands of Fate

Exorcist 2 comes to mind.

I thoroughly enjoyed Batman and Robin and Batman Forever. 

I didn't think WaterWorld was that bad either.

Howard the Duck. Loved it then, love it now.

Waterworld

Predator 2

Battlefield: Earth - no, seriously, this isn't that bad.

Nightmare on Elm Street 2

SUCKER PUNCH.  Why on earth can't other people see how brilliant this movie is?

Not enough people realize that HOUSE OF THE DEAD is so-bad-it's-good.

The Mexican SANTA CLAUS (1959) gets a lot of unnecessary hate just because it's creepy.

people front on Not Another teen Movie sometimes but I think it's pretty amazing. especially the director's cut.

Or at least just acknowledge that it's not to their tasted. I loathe Napoleon Dynamite, but claim it's a horrific movie; it's not necessarily bad movie-making just because I don't like it.

Battlefield Earth: Everybody says this movie is so, so, ssssooooooo horribly bad but nobody can seem to tell me why. I only heard bad things about it after I watched it. I was entertained so the movie did its job. It had aliens and alien technology and weird visuals so I was happy.

Waterworld/The Postman: Costner seems to get a lot of hate on the internet and I don't really know why. I didn't have a problem with either of these films (Waterworld also has Dennis Hopper so you can't lose!).

It's all a case of "hate it because it's cool to hate it", and I doubt many people who say this stuff to day have even seen the movies in question, they just know from movie sites that "this film" is "bad" because "these people said so".

Skyline: First off, I totally agree that the sub-plot of cheating spouses and relationship angst is completely unnecessary to the story and plain suicidal when held to the events portrayed but the aliens, when you got to see them, kept me in the theater. A very good case of monster-makes-the-movie because I didn't really care too much whether any one person survived or not.

Uwe Boll Movies-Ok sure he makes undeniably bad movies but a look at his filmography shows he is far from the monster the internet wants to potray him as. Rampage is a good movie overall that stands up to repeated viewings. Heart of America is a decent film with a nice clint howard serious preformance. Finally Stoic is disturbing but worth a watch for sure.
So of the 5 boll movies i saw (the others are house of the dead and postal) their were 3 intriguing original films and 2 ones that were at least so bad their watchable. Considering how many s**t movies come out each year I find the internets obsession with boll's badness to be somewhat misguided.
