Movies you hate that everyone else likes

[joshvanrad]

Tim Burton HAS to be one of the most over rated guys out there. And find someone other than Johnny Depp, for God's sake. Jeez.

 

[hamsalad]

It did indeed.

besides, I liked it better when it was called pocahontas

and atlantis

and in japan when it was called nausicca.

And dances with wolves.

Etc. etc.

Agreed, I also find Tim Burton over rated. I hated (and I do mean HATED) his take on Wonka and the remake of Planet of the Apes. While I enjoyed the 89 Batman when it was released it has not held up well over time.

The only movie that he has made that I really enjoyed is Big Fish.

 

[joshvanrad]

The Burton remakes are a freaking abomination.

I like Beetlejuice, Batman '89, and Edward Scissorhands. After that I'm with you guys.

 

[joshvanrad]

Those are the three I like as well. His older stuff wasn't so bad, but his newer stuff is absolute garbage.

I would add Vincent (short, 1982), Ed Wood (1994), and Sleepy Hollow (1999) to that list, but otherwise agree completely.

I'll definitely give you Ed Wood. Haven't seen VIncent and thought Sleepy Hollow was kind of "meh". Certainly don't hate though.

And why does every character of his have black and white stripes somewhere?

Funny, that's just about the only "Christmas" movie I can watch; the rest are too sappy.

Superman Returns
The Narnia movies

Then there are lots of movies I do not hate but simply dislike...

 

[Michael Bergeron]

Ya, there are very few movies I'd go so far as to say I outright hate. But the ones I do, MAN do I hate them! :lol

 

[The Mad Professor]

A Christmas Story.

Actually, "hate" is the wrong word.

I utterly despise and loathe every aspect of this movie with the fury of 10,000 supernovae.

Imagine a movie. This movie is an action/horror/romantic comedy. It is produced by Michael Bay, directed by Uwe Boll, and written by a mentally deficient monkey throwing its own feces at a bulletin board containing plot points from the 100 worst movies of all time. It stars Shia Labeouf, Kristen Stewart, Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Denise Richards, Matthew Broderick, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Nicholas Cage, all of whom are required by the role to do a high-class British accent.

I would rather have this hypothetical film beamed into my brain 24/7 for the rest of my LIFE, than sit through ten minutes of A Christmas Story.

 

[Treadwell]

YES.

(I might've posted about it earlier in the thread)

Peter Billingsly, and especially the narration, is way, way, WAY too treacly.

I'm not sure I dislike it quite that much, but I do consider it one of the worst movies I've ever seen and can't understand why so many people hold it in such high regard. At one time I thought it was simply that I couldn't relate to it because a) I didn't grow up in the 1940s, b) I grew up in southern California, so I've never had to deal with snow, snowsuits, and such, c) I've never wanted to own a BB gun, and d) my dad wasn't a moron. But I have friends my age that also grew up here in southern California and they like the movie, so I don't know what the answer is.

Oh man, Christmas Story reminds me of my childhood so much. I find it incredibly relatable.
