What movie everybody else loves but you hate?

[crows]

Anything the Coen Brothers make
I know, I know...... people Love their movies, they are supposed to be really great, maybe I really just don't get it

but, any time I see a movie from them, I Cringe, Fargo, Burn After Reading, A Serious Man...
I tried to watch them with an open mind, but, I just can't see what's so good about them... I won't ever watch any of these again,

Hairspray, RENT, Hedwing and the Angry Inch, Repo..i have absolute hatred for these movies.

 

[Blackthornone]

Hate is a strong word, but I find those Twilight movies to be utterly banal, pointless and limp. I saw part of one, waiting for the story to get interesting, and waiting for Kristin Stewart to show some depth or presence, and it never happened.
Also, Dazed and Confused.-Complete waste of time.

 

[Blackthornone]

Back to the Future (trilogy) - Alex Keaton and time travel. Original, witty concept ruined by a tired, overplayed character.

Eric Roberts would at least brought a different perspective to McFly than Fox

I didn't know Eric Roberts was up for the role. I know the production started with Eric Stoltz, but they felt that the movie was getting too heavy, and they wanted it to be a comedy. C. Thomas Howell told the story on his Radio show. He is a friend of Stoltz, who met him the night he got fired from the project. I agree, though, that Eric Roberts WOULD have made it a different movie.

mena suvari's bewbs....that's the only thing i remember about American Beauty.

I don't remember her showing them. The only boobs I remember were Thora Birch's, which were really nice.

No fully formed human likes those movies.

Fargo
- I haven't seen all the way through but I think I hate it.

This should belong in the "I hate" thread. I hate when people paint with such a broad brush. I've watched them with my wife and I think they were decent flicks. They may not be cinematic master pieces but they have a huge following. The series so far has grossed 2,505,499,622. Yea I know, box office take doesn't equal a good movie, blah, blah, blah. Series is a cash cow for the distributor and in the end, most companies are looking at profit.

There are a few Coen Brothers movies that really ticked me off. Maybe "hate" isn't the right word, but "disappointment" sure is.

It's such a shame, because some of their movies I freaking LOVE ... Raising Arizona, Hudsucker Proxy, True Grit, Big Lebowski, Blood Simple, Miller's Crossing, O Brother ...

But then they'll do stuff like Intollerable Cruelty, Ladykillers, A Serious Man and Burn After Reading that just leave me fuming. I mean, everybody is entitled to their fair share of misfires, but when these guys miss the mark (for me anyway) they miss by a wide margin.

I haven't seen those, I might,

I will admit No country for old men was okay, I did like the bad guy,
I just, I don't know they seem so full of themselves, I think that's another thing that turns me off, and like burn after reading, I kept thinking WTF is this about? WTF?

I understand people liking their movies, that's fine, but like, they are regarded as like these great amazing guys, I keep thinking, not really

 

[jonny88]

The Rambo movies, never liked any of them except maybe the newest one (only reason is lots of gore).

Infact most new movies these days.

Well, i'm sorry then.

I mean, I can appreciate pieces of ____, if they bring something interesting. But I can't think of anything they bring. I've only seen one, and was bored out of my mind. But, I remembered they are made for teenage girls. That's who they're made for.

Not for me. So I ignore them.

 

[RIDDICK]

Iron Man 2
Watchmen
Black Hawk Down
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

 

[CelticPredator]

Most people hate all of those except for Black Hawk Down.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

I will admit that after repeat viewings of the Watchmen movie that it is at least tolerable for me.

I really didn't care for Kick Ass though. It had some really funny stuff in it, but overall I don't think I'll ever watch it a second time.

Good man!

 

[CelticPredator]

STFU

Kick-Ass is hilarious.

 

[Voorhees27]

Nope it really does suck. Now your signature? That's hilarious.

 

[CelticPredator]

You should see Super. It was probably the flick you wanted Kick-Ass to be.

Darker, still funny, but in a different way.

 

[Voorhees27]

Meh i'll give it a try at least.
