Hated Films You Love

[Jack]

I also liked The Blair Witch Project, though I probably wouldn't watch it again because some of the characters were really wearing on my nerves by the end - like that guy who threw the map away.  Still I enjoyed it a lot.  Of course I though Blair Witch 2 was pretty good too   

Halloween 4 is another favorite.  I actually liked the lead girl (Ellie Cornell) a lot better than Jamie Lee Curtis.  I dunno, just never been a fan of hers.  My favorite movie she was in was A Fish Called Wanda.

And Jason X is one of those very rare movies I gave a 5/5 to.  Loved everything about it.

I like all  of the Star Wars prequels due to many different reasons, with one of them being the reason for why I actually like Star Wars in general, since I never liked the series when I was a kid.

Cool World: The story is absolute crap and makes no sense whatsoever.  However, I really love the style and look of this film.  There is so much going on that it is really fun to watch, even if my brain hurts trying to make sense of it.

The Haunted Mansion: It's that Eddie Murphy film based off that ride in Disney.  Lots of people mainly don't like it for just him alone, but I think there is so much more.  The art direction, the acting for everyone else, the atmosphere, the score, the effects, and the story about the mansion and its inhabitans.

You, too. When I saw "The Haunted Mansion" in the theater, and I saw the zombies start coming out of the woodwork, or from wherever they were coming, it scared the crap out of me.

The theme park attraction, not the film, is one of Guillermo del Toro's favorites, so there was some talk by him of wanting to do a remake, but I don't know anything more about a remake, nor have I heard anything since September of last year.

There is a movie called Orgazmo By Trey Parker, People see it on my shelf with all my other DVD's and say "Why have you got porn on your living room shelf??" And I say "It's not a porn movie, it's simply a movie about porn" My friend watched it once and said "This movie is stupid" so she gave it to me cause I loved it. xD I love it though cause it is so ridiculous when people hate it for that reason.

Striptease
Far funnier than you remember. And that incudes Demi Moore's breasts.

The Green Lantern
Loved that outer space stuff, even if the Hector Hammond stuff felt very cut out. I have a sneaking feeling there was quite a bit left on the cutting room floor with that character.

Freddy's Dead
Same reason as Striptease.


Halloween IV
Great to see sopme love for it. Its a flick that is a little better than people remember. It seems to suffer from lazy franchise syndrome. People see 'IV' and already turn against it. Fantastic ending though.


Mystery Men.
Same reason as Striptease.

The Green Lantern
Loved that outer space stuff, even if the Hector Hammond stuff felt very cut out. I have a sneaking feeling there was quite a bit left on the cutting room floor with that character.

I liked that film a bit too, but I think it needed a far better script and much more focus.

The Green Lantern
Loved that outer space stuff, even if the Hector Hammond stuff felt very cut out. I have a sneaking feeling there was quite a bit left on the cutting room floor with that character.

I have the 3-D blu-ray and it includes a 2-D extended cut, which I haven't watched yet.  Maybe the extra footage includes what you're looking for . . .

Freddy's Dead
Same reason as Striptease.

Mystery Men.
Same reason as Striptease.

I don't recall Demi Moore getting topless in either of those.

Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning

[Kaseykockroach]

I liked Exorcist 2: The Heretic better than the original.

Friday the 13th (2009 remake)

This movie is so unfairly bashed. I thought it really did justice to the franchise. Everyone knocks the sex scene with Julianna Guill, I don't know why. a) She's hot! b) The Friday series in the 80's always had sex scenes. c) It's rated R, you shouldn't be letting your children watch it in the first place.

The Hitcher (remake)

As soon as anyone see's Michael Bay's name attached, the mudslinging starts. Yes I admit it's an orgy of explosions and car crashes. But the story is damn good. Sean Bean is an amazing actor who plays a great psycho. Sophia Bush is one of the most beautiful and underrated actresses around and Zachery Knighton is also great. It was a hell of twist too having the girl survive this time. I also liked the actor who played the sheriff, can't remember his name, but he's good in anything I see him in.

Black Xmas (remake)

This one I absolutely loved. But unfortunately, the original is so beloved, that this movie didn't stand a chance. I have different perspective, having seen the remake first. But this movie has some great things going for it. First of all it was directed by Glen Morgan (of Final Destination fame) and there are some really good b***hy performances by the sorority sisters. Of course it's not gonna break new ground like the original did. We are used to blood and gore today, unlike in 1974. So it's not gonna be shocking, it's just a good fun ride!

My favorite moment, which truly worked for me, is the creation and deployment of the clone army which is also the first time we really hear the Imperial March play for the first time.

That would be the ONLY part of the film I liked.

Halloween 3.........the best out of the franchise and the only one I liked personally.

I saw Gremlins 2 come up.  I thought the film was brilliant as entertainment but also social commentary about greedy media corporations.

I'm suprised Predator 2 hasn't come up yet. I LOVE that movie, i even enjoy it more than the first one. Fans of the franchise seem to hate this movie and I'm not quite sure why.

That being said, The Hitcher remake was one of the only times i have ever yelled at a movie screen. I could have just been in a mood that day, but i remember it being god awful and absolutely ludicrous.

"Alien 3" is my second favorite in the whole series. I love the characters, I love the atmosphere, I love the Bull Alien, I love the ending and how ironic it was that the guy who supposedly made a deal with God to live forever was the only one to survive. Yet this was the least like part of the trilogy... with the exception of Resurrection, but we won't talk about that film.

I also liked "The Thing" prequel. Aside from some iffy cg I enjoyed it as a whole. Not nearly as good as the original, but much better then a lot of the crap that has been coming out. I thought that it tied the movies together nicely too.
