movies you truly hated that everyone loved!

[chez]

Cant think of any I hate but 2 that spring to mind that are IMO nowhere near as good as people think are :

Raiders Of The Lost Ark (worst of the trilogy)
Empire Strikes Back ( worst of the trilogy)

Can't say I like every film I see, but to say you actually HATE it seems bizare. Can a film, no matter how shit, really stir up such hatred?!

And lay of Lost in Translation.. I quite liked it!!

 

[Hannibal smith]

Most recently. Pirates of the Caribbean 2. Overlong boring shite.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Forrest Gump. A steaming pile of sentimental shite.

 

[Trufflehound]

Did you stick the lemon in your ears or something?

Yes, it makes a tingly change from using cheese.

Munich was poor as well. 30 minutes too long and historically inaccurate.

If you are talking about films being historically incorrect how about Pearl Harbour - load of rubbish

 

[Trufflehound]

Forrest Gump. A steaming pile of sentimental shite.

Would agree with that, but I've never met ANYONE who liked it, so not sure if it fits the brief.

Did not even bother with that one.

Chinatown

Titanic...I was cheering for the iceberg!
World Trade Centre..Come on you Al Quaeda!

 

[Josky]

Yes, it is possible that certain films can stir up such hatred.

Mine are:

A.I.
King Kong
War Of The Worlds
The Pianist
Requiem For A Dream

 

[Trufflehound]

Requiem For A Dream

Interesting choice. I'd put that in my top 5 films of the last decade.

Agree with the others though.

 

[Man of Harveys]

The Pianist

The greatest "commercial" (i.e. not Shoah) film about the Holocaust ever made, a masterpiece based on first hand experience which is neither exploitative or inappropriately slushily sentimental, unlike certain Hollywood offerings on the same subject.

Re: Re: movies you truly hated that everyone loved!

I'm going to offer the shawshank redemption. Whilst I don't hate the movie I've never got why everyone loves it so much. It's a fairly decent movie and nothing more IMO.

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes, at last the voice of raison, sorry reason. What a f***ing ovvvveeerrrated, formulaic film.

Ooops yes, I agree with you. When I dismissed it above, for some reason I was thinking of The Piano, which was dull dull dull (but with great music).

Crash, not the one the one with James Spader but the pretentious, load of self indulganct wank that won an Oscar just because it was about Racism.

Crash is a cracker... and what a soundtrack.

 

[SJ's Love Monkey]

Dirty Dancing

 

[Zesh Rehman]

High School Musical

Jake Robinson and Tommy Fraser like it
