Flicks that are Popular and Disliked

what's a flick where you wonder why it's so popular? same question also for flicks that no one likes but you love.

first person to get all butt-hurt based on another person opinion/post and starts a bitch fest is a douche

for me, it has to be Equilibrium. I saw it based on all sorts of recommendations by people that like Dark City and when I saw it, I couldn't help but wonder why.

On the other hand, I think Josie and the Pussycats was completely mis-marketed. I thought it was hilarious, especially with all the little things going on and Parker Posey was a great villain.

Overrated:
The Little Mermaid (It's good, but not great)
Pocahontas (BORING!)

Overhated:
Both Transformers films
Pink Panther (2006)
Knowing (PURE GENIUS)

My Overhated list is generally longer, but those are pretty much the cream of the overhated crop for me.; ▶ Reply to This

Thus, in sporting retaliation, I shall be the first to cast my glare upon Revenge of the Fallen!

Fuck this movie.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Michael Joseph on October 4, 2009 at 8:42pm: Honestly you feel that the Matrix sequels lived up to their potential? I think a lot of the hate came from a really amazing story in the first one and then 2 lackluster follow ups that could have been cut down to 1 movie.

As for Star Wars, to each their own, but I go to movies to be entertained and I wasn't in any of the 3.; ▶ Reply to This
