That was pretty much me too. I liked Elektra better than the theatrical version of Daredevil....

And I'm not so fond of Elektra Chrisisall

I liked DareDevil and haven't seen the director's cut. I think the reason why DD didn't do so well was because a lot of people don't seem to like Ben Affleck very much. I like him a lot, and I thought he made an excellent Dare Devil. On the other hand the KingPin was not the King Pin in the comics. KingPin was supposed to be really strong; stronger than that guy they used in th movie, so it was sort of hard for me to accept the King Pin character in the movie for a while.

I hated the HULK though. Sometimes too much CGI wrecks a movie.

Yes I agree episodes 1, 2, and 3 were crap, but I still liked the loved scenes. I guess I'm a sucker for poorly done love scenes.

When it gets down to it the whole Anakin Padme thing was really sort of sad....especially for Padme. We woman always seem to get the short end of the stick.

Wow. Seems folks get a little touchy about movies (okay, I do too). I'd like to second, third, and fourth anything by Uwe. He doesn't do it for me.

I don't understand some of these choices. I really don't... I'll ignore Safe's dislike of Spotless Mind because I know Safe to be a cool guy...so, he can be wrong.

Nightmare before Christmas *gasp* are you all insane? Yes, I must believe you are, otherwise the world will spin out of control. ;.

My all time hated movies? Hrm. We're talking movies we hate, not movies that are bad, right? Cause, Battlefield Earth is bad. As is BloodRayne.

Okay, hate...um...1) Immortal. Yes, Immortal, for me, is painful to sit through. Poorly executed. Poorly everything. 2) Episode II. I ignored One as being an unsure yet enthusiastic test of the waters, but Two solidified the wrongness. It just continues in Three. I'd erase them from my memory if I could.

I don't like Jim Carrie, but I did like Spotless Mind. The only way you can like that movie is if you are fresh out of a relationship and alone, and miserable. Happy people don't get that movie.

On the subject of Jim Carrie. The actor who plays Xander in BtVS acts way too much like him which is why I don't like Xander the character.

I've never seen the Tom Cruise effort, but the idea sounds just as bad too. Martians don't really work in a modern context. There was a version with a period setting but that is supposed to be really awful as well. Better off with Jeff Wayne's musical version 2CD. A rock classic.

The 1956 version of War of the Worlds was acceptable. The 2005's version of War of the Worlds was so stupid and ill written. I kept asking myself "Why?" when I was in the movie theater.

Dumb movie!

1) The Fast and the Furious - I only saw the first one. I honestly don't hate the movie itself so much, just the thousands of wannabe ricer/mechanic gangsters it spawned along with their horrific cars. My senior year in HS, everyone basically lived their lives to that movie like it was the Bible. Vin was cool in PB/TCOR though.

2) Serenity - J/K :) :) :) Why did Wash and Book have to die? Also tied with LOTR:ROTK - why did Gandalf and especially Frodo have to leave, plus it took THAT long to kill Gollum? Again, J/K. :)

Thanks TWG!

But I still don't like Spotless Mind

You cannot convert me....

I'm willing to over look bad acting and even poor scripts if the premise is good. The way I see it even some of the worst films have something redeeming. That's true for most Sci-fi and Period pieces but I'm not sure it holds up to comedies or romantical type films. But I have a higher tolerance for Space films and Vampire/Werewolf movies (except the Buffy TV show, but that's an arguement for a different time. Yes I LIKED the movie. CLassic B flick nothing more, nothing less).

Take Sideways for example. What a snoozer. I wasn't even willing to see that one through to the end, and I like Thomas Haden Church(sp?).

I watched Battlefield earth and even I was hard pressed to find redeeming qualities in it. The same goes for Star Wars I-III. But Nightmare before Christmas? I liked it. Not the best thing I've ever seen, but far from the worst. Reminded me of the old Beetlejuice cartoon.

HEY!! I didn't mind Scooby Doo! Maybe you saw a different film. There was no "Frickin'" in the title

But I will agree that Freddy Prince Junior and Sarah Michelle Geller were absolutely horrible in it. Shaggy and Velma were perfectly cast though.

I wanted to like Sideways, but I just couldn't. However, I did really want some wine when the movie ended. If the point of the movie was to make me thirsty and/or drunk, then it succeeded.

The thing about Star Wars I-III wasn't so much the story- that was pretty good, it was that they relied too much on CGI and the the like. A little is great for SFX, but to the extent that I-III used them was just BLEH.
My two cents...

#1...Bridget Jones' Diary. I loathed and despised this insipid movie. I actually fell asleep during it, and the 20 or so minutes I was out didn't seem to matter as there was no real plot and totally 1-dimensional characterizations. I left the theater wanting those 2 hours of my life back.

#2...Troy For those talking about raping a subject, other than the names of the characters, this movie had damned little to do with the Greek legend. Only three of the actors actually bothered to put in a performance: Eric Bana, who valiently played Hector, but got lost in the mediocre scripting; Peter O'Toole who has never given a poor performance in his life and can, as he proved here, make reading an ingredient label compelling; and Sean Bean, who was a fantastic Odysseus...and it took half the movie to discover just who he was playing as they never really identified him for the most part.

Dishonorable mentions:
a.)Star Wars 1-3(new numbering system): Bored now. I shouldn't be doing Evil Willow impersonations while watching an action scene.
b.)Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy There are some things I can forgive, but setting up jokes and foregoing the punchlines isn't one of them.
c.)Dune (1984): I'd never read the books, and everyone's assurance that this version was 'just like the books' has permanently assured that I never shall. It's only recommendation is a mostly naked Sting. Sad, but true.
d.) Jim Carey films. I gotta agree with mal4prez...he ain't funny, can't stand him or for that matter...
e.) Bill Murray. Can't stand him either, never thought he was funny, even when he was on SNL.
f.) Twins A movie that vastly improves with prolonged bathroom breaks. I ended up rooting for the loansharks.
h.) The Grudge Evil should never win. If I want to see that, I'd just watch the 6 o'clock news.
i.) Highlander 2-? As much as I loved the series, the movies should never have gone past 1. (Storymark...There's a new one???! As bad as it sounds, I may watch if for no other reason than Methos and Joe. I guess you just can't take the fru-fru out of the floozie.

)
j.) Star Trek 5 I spent the whole movie saying 'OMG, they're all old and fat,' over and over.

mazaen: I didn't much care for Jaws either. I walked out after the first 20 minutes, or else at 11 years old, I'd have had nightmares, too.

HA! That's the same reaction I had!

Chris, the funniest momment was the smoke coming out of the Mystery Machine. Hey c'mon, it's what we all expected. Shaggy was a hippy for pete's sake.

Shaggy: Hold on, Man. We don't go anywhere with 'scary', 'spooky', 'haunted', or 'forbidden' in the title.
Scooby Doo: Ror rydrocoronic.
Shaggy: Or hydroclonic, but that's for a whole different reason, man.

I watched Catwoman the other night and you know, it wasn't bad. What wrecked the movie in the box office was that costume that Catwoman wore. It was such a bad costume. Also the plot was weak but it worked. The background music totally sucked, and some of the CGI was pretty bad.

yes it was a bad film, but it was suppose to be, like a parody of the old B-film industry. given that point of view, it was quite good for what it was. i thought it was funny.

Exactly! John Carpenter like that kind of thing. Just check out some of his other movies. Big Trouble in Little China for instance. It's not meant to be a good movie. It's just supposed to be fun.

Yes, it was. It would have been better with a less rediculous costume, but it still would have been a lousy movie.

The good or the bad of the movie rests in the eyes and mind of the watcher, so if I say I liked it for me then I liked it for me not you. The costume was stupid looking and Halle Berry played a decent CatWoman, but a Michelle Phifer she's not.

I've watched Pulp fiction many times and I still can't see why this is a classic watch. I guess it's not my kind of movie because I thought it was rather stupid, but most people liked it so I guess its once again the "Mind of the Beholder" sort of thing.

When it comes to Tarantino films, dialouge is everything. His films are a bit "talky", but I understand the argument of people who just dont get his films. There are usually 2 reactions to his work: you either love it, or hate it. From my experience, my friends who love pop culture of the 70's and 80's(because so much of his dialouge hinges on it) love his work, and my friends who are into outdoorsy stuff(Left brain people), and could care less about that aspect of life hate his stuff.

Guess the biggest accomplishment with Pulp Fiction was that he went against the grain of all the formulaic studio BS that we were force fed for years in film, and in that he actually changed the form of crime movies, and got a lot of copycats in the process.

one thing i cant get a lot of people to understand is that 'batman' with michael keaton was not the first batman movie. in 1968? i think it was, there was a movie called 'batman-the movie'. it came first and actually had the words 'the movie' in the title. and people still think that the MK film was the first one.
