Movies you like that most dont?

One of my favorite movies of this decade so far is Terry Gilliam's Tideland, I dont get why it got such bad reviews. The girl who plays main character is amazing, sure the movie is very dark and disturbing at times, but it is also strangely beautiful and tragic too. Some people think that it is similar to pans labyrinth, which is kinda is in a way, I almost prefer it in some ways. Critics really didnt get this movie at all. Also I liked the movie Zardoz, just look at the star of it!

Is that Sean Connery?? :lol:entropyecho

yep:D

Alien Vs Predator 2: Requiem
I Am Legend (Loved the movie, hated the book)
Thirteen (Ive never heard anyone talking about it)
I, Robot
DoomSyndicate-Curse

I liked Thirteen.

Indiana Jones 4.

I loved the first three, and wasn't expecting anything good. I was just glad to see more Indy. ;)

What did you hate about the I am legend book? i admit its a lot slower than the movie, but its also much more emotional and tense and the ending is brilliant compared to the crappy hollywood ending of the movie.

Dude thats bad promotion. :lol: I'm going no where near that movie now. :(Mr_Leonis

Are you afraid of sean connerys hotness:P

I liked AvP2, but it was absolute crap compared to the Alien films.-TheSecondSign-

I'm with you on the Zardoz thing as I always found the movie rather interesting despite all the grief it receives. As far as my movies go...well I have a pretty established record for watching all sorts of just awful, awful movies and enjoying them, but I actually know those films are bad so I suppose they don't count. I guess I really enjoy the Beckinsale Underworld movies and Fraser in the Mummy films both of which receive a decent amount of flak. My incredibly picky friend and I both enjoyed Jason X a lot more than we thought we would. Lord_Daemon

And the only thing I dont like about Jason X is the acting. I thought it was really bad.

WHat was it about the ending you hated? Was it too depressing or sad? I'm not gonna flame and I respect your opinion, I personally thought the ending made the book much better.

Waterworld is one of my favorites

I, Robot was awesome

10,000 BC (2008) was epic, most people take it way more seriously than i think it was meant to.

I'll have to come back to this thread, there are a bunch of movies that i adore that i feel never get the praise they deserve.

Films by David Lynch, Eraserhead, Mulholland Drive, inland empire, lost highway etc.TheFlush

Those films aren't that bad at all. Did you ever watch the show Twin Peaks?

The books ending is much better and different to the movies ending,

SPOILER!!!!!!!!!

in the book Neville is in los angeles suburbs not new york city. In the book, Neville is captured by a new breed of vampires who can restrain their urge for blood and can live in sunlight, he is taken to their headquarters to be executed. One of the vampires takes pity on him and gives him a pill to make the pain go away, she leaves and he realizes that he is the monster now, the vampires see him as a monster who kills their kind like a beast. He accepts his fate and takes the pills, the last line in the book is one of my favorites lines in literature.

"A new terror born in death. A new superstition entering the unassailble fortess of forever...I am legend."

Maybe... King of California? ... and Lady in the Water, people hated that one.XDeSuEhTX

I really liked King of California.

I liked AvP2, but it was absolute crap compared to the Alien films.-TheSecondSign-

Or the Predator films for that matter.

Yeah, the last line in that book is epic, and such a great ending, as opposed to either version in the movie.

Film-Guy

Oh lawd Zardoz. A funny enough movie. If I took drugs, I'd trip for the entire movie.

That said, the movie took Connery out of the James Bond contest. I can no longer think of him as anything else than his role in Zardoz.

As for my movie.....Pootie Tang. Genius stuff.

I don't care that it was animated.entropyecho

What? Do you not like most animated films or something?

I'm scared to admit this...

2 Fast 2 Furious. It's my only weakness :(.

Bringin' Down the House.

I don't know why, but the movie makes me laugh a lot :lol:

Smokin Aces

[QUOTE="entropyecho"]I don't care that it was animated.yabbicoke

What? Do you not like most animated films or something?

A lot of people I know put it down for the very reason it was animated. I have no qualms with animation. You can have a very deep and dark animated film (like in Mask of the Phantasm).

I Am Legend book > I am legend movie. The book was so epic, and the movie was entirely anti-climactic.

I loved reading the short stories, most of Richard Mathesons novels have a last half that consists of short stories, if it was just the book it would be too short. The Short stories are extras.
