Furiosa? Nah, the hate over it are biased because they linked the film with "woke movies" which is not the case. Most of the people who hate it didnt watched it.
I still haven't seen the whale or open water, but I enjoyed all those movies, I especially liked Luke's character arc throughout the star wars saga, especially the how he had flaws and Friosa was not only gorgeous to look at but the story was very cool. I never understood why people were upset with that. Another movie I really liked everybody hated on was the gohst busters reboot, but I am a huge fan of Kristin Wigg and Kate McKinnon those two have some of my all time favorite SNL scetchs and I loved the chemistry of all the cast.
Alien: Resurrection. Some of the most fun action in the franchise! Bringing back Ripley could've been a boring gimmick, but they gave it a new twist by making her 1/2 Xenomorph. The characters are some of the most interesting and funny of most movies.
I liked it a lot as well. It was also directed by Jean-Paul Jeunet, one of the best filmmakers ever, the guy who made Amelie. And the movie looks great.
Quantum of Solace. There's just a rewatchability to it, from the frenetic opening car chase to the somber closing. I've watched it more than any of the other Craig films.
It's far from a great Bond movie, but it isn't bad either. For a movie that kinda got slapped together in the wake of the strikes at the time, it's a small miracle that it's even watchable.
Vanilla sky. Not sure if it's hated but it's surely not talked about a lot. Tom Cruises best acting performance and every side character is perfectly cast and delivers. Not to mention it having one of the greatest soundtracks.
I'll do you one better: I love Vanilla Sky MUCH more than the Spanish original Abre Los Ojos. Not sure why, but Tom Cruise just has me in that role. Just *love* his performance there.
Babylon. I know they had different time-periods, but I feel like Chazelle did with that what Tarrantino tried to do with Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood. (I loved that as well)
silent hill (the first one; we dont talk about the second movie). i think people eventually came around to it these days, but i remember it being so maligned. it made me a fan of the franchise, actually - as i went to play the games after being mesmerized by the visuals and the atmosphere of the film. it is SO WELL SHOT and directed. the script is… messy and cumbersome, but it has this early 2000s charm that is honestly irresistible to me. rhada mitchell, sean bean and laurie holden also provide some nice performances all around.
I recently finally watched this movie after wanting to so bad when the trailers came out as i love the first 3 games, unfortunately I never got around to it, so I always thought the discourse around this film was positive, but that film was sooo good! Honestly one of the best video game to film adaptations ever IMO. I actually saw it earlier this year and I thought they nailed it from a visual and story line aspect. I love it!
Signs… I think this movie got a lot of hate because people were expecting it to be mostly about aliens… but in fact it was about how our loved ones can still resonate in our lives in strange and meaningful ways after they’ve passed. Be it supernatural or just natural. While the supernatural is really just unexplained nature we can think of this as a fantasy or miracle themed movie.
I liked 'Signs' too and for M. Night Shyamalan's more subtle take on an alien invasion movie as well as its life-after-death spiritual interpretation, character arcs, etc. Plus, the score is fantastic and the opening main title music almost reminded me of Bernard Herrmann's score for 'Cape Fear' (1962) which was reused for 'Cape Fear' (1991). :)
I feel people are really into this movie. I think M. Knights character is featured too much (not a cameo) and the whole swing away glasses of water shit was pure nonsense. Mel and Joaquin are good. I don’t hate it. I just don’t think it’s as good as sixth sense or unbreakable and I don’t think it’s head and shoulders above the village
This one is often considered to be Shyamalan's best film or at least in his top 3 so I'm not sure if this would qualify as a "hated film" IMO. Definitely an effective movie though. I even like M Knight's acting in this, had no idea it was even him the first time I saw it.
A film that really needed a joint and a rewrite lol, maybe than he would have noticed the details of they can fly to our planet but can't figure out doors or that water might be an issue. It's a fun movie though cheesy humour some unsettling atmosphere and really it has nothing to do with aliens but a man wrestling with his faith.
Death to Smoochy (2002) took a critical and popular pummeling . It’s been ages and I’m due to rewatch, but don’t remember talking to anyone that also liked it. The pairing of Norton’s character in the world he inhabited worked for me
Alien 3. I grew up watching the whole “trilogy”. Only after the internet decided it was a piece of garbage, I started finding its flaws. Yes. It’s choppy, it’s not perfect, the CGi and some decisions were questionable, but overall, it’s a very good film, specially setting up the atmosphere and creepy tone. Excellent performance by Sigourney Weaver.
I loved Furiousa and I’ve been a die hard fan of that franchise since I was a kid. People were constantly complaining that Max wasn’t in it. Honestly Max is a passenger in someone else’s fight in every movie, but the original. Miller still expanded on the world that was established in Fury Road. I thought it was a perfect companion film to watch with Fury Road.
High Fidelity. I love John Cusack's engaged work in that film (haven't read the book). Literally everyone I showed this film to or talked about it seemed to hate the film, but I stand by it and always will. Also launched Jack Black's career with a bang!
@@TackJorrance Many people dislike the narcissism of the main character, which I do understand. He's a narcissist who wants to know and do better, but still a massive narcissist.
The original 1967 "Casino Royale." Saw it as a kid and have to watch it to the end every time I stumble across it on TV, and I have it on DVD. I know it's a bloated, chaotic mess, but I love that about it. I also love the soundtrack, all the'60s Bond girls, and Woody Allen as the villain.
Predator 2 believe it or not I like more than the first one. I found it a fantastic horror/action/cop drama mix. Danny Glover is a great protagonist we don't need some over-the-top action hero, a normal cop fighting the Predator is even more interesting and it has some of the coolest shots in the whole series also let's not forget the scene on the train. Great filmmaking. Okay, I guess it could come off as offensive to Jamaicans but hey it was 1990.
@@mrdth1987 ah ha I think it bombed in theaters but a lot of people discovered it on video and loved it. I loved the first Predator and I literally had no idea this came out in theaters at the time! I would have watched it but I don't remember ANY promotion of this movie. I love the idea of a Predator unleashed in a urban setting.
I think some people hate Predator 2, but it's a great follow up, depending on the day I may love it just as much as the original. I also think Danny Glover is a great protagonist and kinda an underrated one for this series!
Speed Racer. While the filmmaking techniques and rapid flying colors on display can be offputting to some viewers, The Wachowskis crafted a beautiful, creative movie that literally anyone can find enjoyment in.
I guess I should then see it. I remember always feeling why are they not making a SPEED RACER movie, and was glad that they were. But when I saw the previews o f teh film, it just put me off as being kind of stupid looking. Perhaps I am wrong.
Furiosa definitely did NOT have as much action as Fury Road but I absolutely loved it. Saw it 3 times in theaters. Definitely was not girl boss and felt less feminist than Fury Road.
For me it just felt like Aronofsky trying to make a Hollywood Blockbuster, with Russell Crowe, and Emma Watson in it, and a huge budget. It felt like selling out for him, and I think he does better with lower budget stuff. I should watch it again though.
@@BullyMaguire4ever I would need to explore more Aronofsky Films. If I'm not mistaken, he made Requiem for a Dream. An insanely epic sick movie for people who abuse drugs/use drugs. The Fountain is on my list of all-time great movies. From that knowledge, I was happy to see him tackle the supernatural. Until you informed me. I never knew this was made by the same director. I cannot disagree with you.
Literally everyone I know liked Furiosa as much as I did. The whole tedious i hate girls in movies thing was not relevant. Miller flexed like only Miller can.
I liked the movie, however I think its pace is a bit off and it especially feels like the last bit drags on forever. But still a good movie that, let's be honest, after an action masterpiece such as Fury Road it was impossible to expect it to be even on par to that previous installment. I don't get the hate at all.
I really like the Coen Brothers' 'The Hudsucker Proxy' starring Tim Robbins, Paul Newman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, John Mahoney, Bruce Campbell, etc. but few people I know have seen it when it's such a funny movie in many ways with an excellent score by Carter Burwell who borrowed from works by Aram Khachaturian (from his 'Spartacus' ballet music). The movie didn't do well at the box office back in 1994 (when I saw it in a movie theatre) when it had a budget of $25 million, but only made $11 million at the box office, but that's probably due to the odd, eccentric title that did not draw in audiences right off the bat. Who knows? Still, it's definitely worth seeing. :)
You handled my Last Jedi take with Jedi-level composure and grace, even though I know it must have tempted you to turn to the dark side. Much appreciated
How about Passion of the Christ? I fully understand that this movie isn't for everyone, but I hate it when people describe it as a "snuff film", when it's clearly more ambitious and artistic than that. Plus, I think the movie gains a lot of mileage out of its use of ancient languages to immerse you in a different time and place.
Absolutely. It's amazingly well-crafted; the dense, layered symbolism and meticulously detailed shots, along with one of the most beautiful, mesmerizing music scores ever put to film. It's also intensely disturbing, which may put some off; me being the horror aficionado that I am, the darker graphic elements only make the film that much more fascinating.
1. Frozen (So many people call it overrated that it's paradoxically become underrated; I think it's one of the best films of the 21st century) 2. The Fountainhead 3. Glen or Glenda (would have a Criterion release if it didn't have the stigma of Ed Wood's name attached to it) 4. Christmas Evil 5. The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T 6. Caligula 7. Agora 8. Conquest of the Planet of the Apes 9. Son of Kong 10. The Cable Guy Honorable mentions: Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. I acknowledge that it isn't high art, but it fulfills its purpose of being a silly low-budget family film to provide 80 minutes of fun. I enjoy the bizarrely whimsical atmosphere it creates with such minuscule resources. Even if cheap, I always prefer the stylized over the naturalistic. Tomorrowland. A film I almost love. The premise and themes are absolutely amazing, but the execution is merely good. Perhaps Disney wouldn't be in the creative rut it is today if this was a financial hit. Exorcist II. Beautifully shot madness. Certainly it makes no sense, but it comes from an inherently nonsensical premise and completely embraces the absurdity. 1BR. I think it's one of the better horror films of recent years, albeit flawed. The direction is average, but thematically it's brilliant. Received decent reviews but very little attention.
Rambo 3 In terms of action this is as good as it gets, it's a compact action film with some seriously underrated performances. The music is amazing, the technical effects, like the pyrotechnics are in my opinion unmatched, especially today where they now use mostly CGI instead of Squibs which were much better. I think most of its negative reception came from Americans not understanding the nuances of conflict in the middle east and once the Gulf War kicked off most people remember this as the Film where Rambo works with the Terrorists, which couldn't be further from the truth. Worth a rewatch if you feel like a good ol' fashioned Action Film.
Just saw The Whale last night and it's just ok, 5/10 for me. Brendan does a great job but his Academy Award win is pretty clearly a make-up award for his work in Monkeybone (2001). Well deserved.
Yes glad you brought up the ending! Didn't want to ramble for too long since you read the whole comment out loud. The song is a Fijian "farewell" song called Isa Lei and if I remember correctly it's sung by children. The whole sequence leading up to her death with the swelling music you think MAYBE it's building up to a final attempt at escape, but nope. She submerges herself, silence, then the song plays. Genuinely get chills thinking about it.
There were only two moments in Furiosa where the CGI was so noticeable it took me out. I'm really sad this bombed. It's the best this year so far for me.
Mike Myers is always good for laugh. His performance as The Cat in the Hat gets better every time I see it. Cat disguised as The Hippie Freak: "Okay, I have a problem with the word "dog". I don't use the "D" word per se, cause I think it's really, really wrong. Yeah. But I will happily use the term Canine-American. I am more comfortable with that really, yeah."
open water was cool but the couple were these annoying workaholics. They were probably like that in real life. At the I was rooting for the sharks. Eat them!!
It has an argument for my scariest movie of all time because it's so realistic and terrifyingly visceral as a result. That's why I've never watched it again even though I would categorize it as "good". Horror movies aren't my thing, but a realistic depiction of being hunted by a school of whitetips in open water is just beyond terror for me.
I have never heard anybody hate on Open Water. Another good shark movie in that same style is "The Reef" based on a true story. They use a hands on camera as well but you see the shark in this.
I would agree with the Last Jedi one. It is the most enjoyable film outside of the first 2 for me. There’s a lot of problems with it but its chaos is so exciting and so interesting to me.
Alien Resurrection there are so many awful things in it, but damn Sigourney, Ron Pearlman and Winona I know it's sloppy and weird but it's My guilty pleasure
Stephen Chow Kung Fu Hustle for me, watched it when I was a kid, but later found out that most of the people don't like his movies. I absolutely love the cartoonist/LogicLess action.
@therevolutionwillnotbeyoutubed I think it got better press in the UK where I am. I have a feeling it's because it was released only on Netflix rather than in theatres, so expectations were low and then word spread about how good it was.
@hanumaniam That's interesting. I didn't even think about press in other countries. Yeah. Here, in the states, it was critically panned and considered a flop. Maybe because it got a theatrical release. So theatrically.. it bombed. I saw it in theaters.
@@therevolutionwillnotbeyoutubed it's such an interesting movie and a pity that an original story(obviously based on the book) couldn't do better in a world of remakes and reboots.
I guess another way of saying, "Movies you love that everyone hates' is "movies that are your guilty pleasures", although the latter would imply that one knows a movie is awful (as do the critics) and yet, one enjoys it anyway for various reasons (nostalgia, key performances or key sequences that stood out, etc.). :)
*The Jerk* - For my money, the best "pure comedy" ever produced in America. Others will say Annie Hall or Some Like It Hot or The Big Lebowski, and I love all those films, but in terms of "pure comedy," laughs per minute, uproarious hilarity, timeless gags, NOTHING beats The Jerk. Those other films may work better "as cinema," because their greatness rests on other qualities apart from raw humor - the genuine romance of Annie Hall, the classic professionalism of Some Like It Hot, the quirky characterizations of the Big Lebowski - whereas The Jerk doesn't pretend to be anything it's not. The brilliance of The Jerk is that it rests in its stupidity, and Steve Martin so thoroughly immerses himself in the title role that you can't help but go along for the ride. Carl Reiner keeps a great pace going throughout, so the laughs never cease for the sake of detailing the plot, and it never drags because The Jerk opts to build plot and character THROUGH its comedy. It shies away from nothing in order to get a laugh, but it never resorts to senseless raunch masquerading as wit. Everything (and I mean everything) in this movie is played for kicks - yet, somehow, the romance between the two leads is truly heartwarming. That ukelele scene! ❤ *Killer's Kiss* - *Boondock Saints* - *Billy Madison* -
Everyone hates "The Jerk"? That's the first I've heard of it. It's a CLASSIC. Maybe it's FROWNED upon now, as it's politically incorrect like "Arthur" and "Blazing Saddles"... but it was NOT a failure, by any means...
@@leapguy1235 I wouldn't say that everybody hates it, but it wasn't as well-received among critics as it was general audiences. Even Roger Ebert gave it a bad review.
One of my guilty pleasures is Roger Corman's 'Battle Beyond the Stars' which is 'Star Wars' meets 'The Magnificent Seven' (or 'The Seven Samurai' which preceded it) and although it's clearly a 'Star Wars' knockoff, it has some unique aliens, cool special effects (by fledgling James Cameron), and a gorgeous score by James Horner before he composed his iconic score for 'Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan'. :)
2001 - As much as I see it on every list of "best movies ever" - I can never get anyone to go with me to see it when it cycles around at our local theater in August. Especially now with the incredibly restored 70mm version - I can't get enough of this movie. It just seems that immersing yourself in a movie like this isn't interesting to the movie goers that want a straightforward story....
2001 will always be one of those films that average Joe moviegoers won't sit through. There are very long stretches with no dialogue or action, so most will just get pissed off. I saw it on the big screen once, it's a pretty unique experience.
Terminator 3. Some failed humor, but overall a good old-fashioned action movie with a good ending. Avatar (The first one). Everybody online seems to hate it for having a similar plot to dances With Wolves, but it is very well made and engaging, and 99% of all movies also have story beats that can be found in other movies, without receiving a similar criticism.
"The Mothman Prophecies", I don't know if people hate it...but they almost never talk about it and it's my absolute favorite horror movie ever. It's just so damn eerie, and I think the movie might actually be doing it's best to depict a fourth dimensional alien that exists outside of linear spacetime.
Like my father did for me, I have followed the long tradition of being a irresponsible dad, showing horror and action movies to my kid from a young age. We watched Fury Road when she was about six and she absolutely loved it. So watching Furiosa with her on the big screen now that she’s 15 was amazing. She absolutely loved it! My Father who is 77 now has dementia but came over this last weekend, my daughter was excited to show him Furiosa, we had a great time!
10 Cloverfield Lane and in fact the whole Cloverfield franchise. I love that it keeps changing and is only loosely connected. I love that 1 minute it's a city wide Kaiju disaster film, then a small scale basement hostage situation with the monster being man, then suddenly the isolation of a space crew at the time of the disaster. It's a rollercoaster ride for me that I think everyone who hated the sequels wanted off the ride.
So many.... here are a few Waterworld!, one of the biggest flops in movie history, it took Kevin Costner two decades to regain movie star status again. Beyond Thunderdome, not the best in the series but I like it. Alien 3 and Resurrection, loved them both, they came up during my teen years.
My main issue with criticism towards The Last Jedi is that I think people are underestimating how much inconsistency there is in the sequel trilogy as a whole. Like, you can say the film didn't deliver on the merits of what it should have. But you really can't blame Rian Johnson for the mess that film created, when Disney didn't really have a concrete plan to begin with.
Oh, 100% blame needs to be laid at Lucasfilm’s feet and Disney executives. Ever thinking they could have different directors without having all the plot laid out before hand was idiotic
The problem I found was RJ understanding Jedis. Luke Skywalker is by far one of the most powerful and wise Jedis in the Star Wars Universe. And Johnson seemed to have a particular aversion to give Luke a slight bit of dignity. Old, bitter, grumpy, unprepared, tried to kill his paddawan, gets “defeated” by his own 2 day new student, dies in the most uninspiring way possible.
@@carl_anderson9315”..Dies in the most uninspiring way possible”. Yeah, you lost me there. Luke died in a way only the most powerful Jedi ever possibly could.
Prometheus / Alien Covenant. The endings aren't satisfying but its a good time. Easily my favourite sci fi universe in films. Alien Romulas has done well at the box office so expect more films.
I have to admit that 'Prometheus' and even 'Alien Covenant' have grown on me over time or in me like a xenomorph fetus. Hahaha! I'll always love 'Alien' (1979) and 'Aliens' (1986) above all others, but there are certainly aspects of 'Prometheus' and 'Alien Covenant' that I enjoy and aside from 'Alien: Romulus' which I have not seen, I have seen (and own) the rest of the movies in the franchise.
I feel they were relatively well received upon release but now are generally disliked, could just be my perception. Never personally liked them, the writing and characters are just bad imo
@@----t----1234 For Prometheus it was finally learning so much about Weyland. And also a lot more about Weyland Yutani's motives and procedures... The Creation myth was incredible although underdeveloped. I could have watched a whole trilogy on those topics alone. The main woman is also a phenomenal actress, along with her love interest. No clue who that guy is or where he went. But he was like Ryan Philipe to me, just Solid... Some really dumb moments. But I will love that movie despite its flaws. It is so good imho.
0:36 The reason I know the Star Wars sequel trilogy films suck is due to my inability to recognize or hum a single new theme from those movies compared to the music of the original Star Wars trilogy I know extremely well and have ever since I saw 'Star Wars' back in 1977, 'The Empire Strikes Back' in 1980, and 'Return of the Jedi' in 1983. The Star Wars prequels had a few great themes here and there, but not 'Rogue One', not 'Solo' (other than a main title theme by John Williams), and certainly not the sequel trilogy. I kind of felt sorry for John Williams having had to compose scores for the sequel trilogy that relied heavily on his past scores for the original trilogy, familiar cues, etc. to carry those new movies. Even the great John Williams can only polish a turd so far before he really can't save bad movies with terrible scripts, etc. but it wasn't due to his lack of talent as his scores for some of the 'Harry Potter' movies and 'Catch Me If You Can' proved. He was still in top form when movies had merit.
I agree with the music! Ludwig Göransson with The Mandalorian is the only one in the new era that managed to create new iconic Star Wars music. I'd love to see him work on the next movies as well, seeing that the new scores my Williams felt like such nothing burgers ...
I loved Furiosa, as well. It served the overall stories of the wasteland very well, honored the source material and even expanded on it. The only thing missing for me was the original actor (Hugh Keays-Byrne) who played Immortan Joe. This new actor (Lachy Hulme) didn't have the gravitas as Kaeys-Byrne did. (did you know that Keays-Byrne played the original villain, Toecutter in the very first Mad Max movie?) Also, the CGI didn't bother me that much, as I just love George Miller's directing. And who couldn't love Chris Hemsworth's Dementus? He plays a great villain (he was so good as the cult leader Billy in Bad Times At The El Royale - such a refreshing performance after all his 'heroic' movies - not just as Thor). Overall Furiosa is a great movie experience (watching Furiosa followed by Fury Road was fun and almost seamless) - and yes, I did see Furiosa on an IMAX screen (as well as Fury Road when it came out)! So sad Furiosa does not get credit enough for being a really well made film in this day and age of so many bad ones that get rave reviews...
@@johnnyskinwalker4095 yeah I love how it goes for the over the top stage play aesthetic, just the music alone gets me hyped, frankenstein is not a subtle character he deserves a bombastic movie
@@moredumbtoit5325 Oh yea I absolutely loved how bombastic it was! I also love how they had the guts to actually go ahead with the creation of Miss Monster. It was something I really had not predicted and this scene was just out of this World in the theater. I was speechless. Great acting from Helena Bonham Carter.
@@johnnyskinwalker4095 so nice to hear someone talk and just agree with every little point, especially when i've found nothing but vitrial from others, i feel like the monster vs the villagers, that fire stunt and the way they shoot and edit it is one of the best scenes in history! i love this movie to death and the monster has quickly become extremely emotionally impactful on me for some reason, I was watching monster squad last halloween and SOBBING when he had to say goodbye to the little girl, i still don't know why anything frankenstein gets the waterworks goin for me, maybe frankenstein is the harshest example of others tearing down an innocent thing, and the little glimmer of love from a blind man or little girl holding his hand is heartbreaking
Swordfish. Every video I have found on the internet about this 2001 film is nothing but people trash talking this movie. I truly don't understand the hate. Sure, the technology in the flick is quite dated obviously but it does have a strong primus with high stakes, a great antagonist played by John Travolta plus the rest of the cast did a great job. The dialog was sharply written and masterfully delivered along with some cool editing choices. I get it, the CGI explosion in the beginning wasn't as good as it could've been but focus more on the story. It has become a tradition for me to watch the movie once a year every January 1st. I've probably seen it like 30 times in my life. Back in the mid-2000s the movie was in the TV channel FX a lot so it just grew on me more and more each time I saw it. It's actually one of my all-time favorite movies.
oh I didn't expect you to read my comment! I am the 'final fantasy spirits within' lover... I can't really defend the myriad issues it has, the dull characters and the story that ranged from saccharine and melodramatic to plodding and unsatisfying. explaining why I like it is tough to sum up, but I was a young kid hooked on final fantasy games when it came out so that certainly has something to do with it sticking in my brain. as an adult (and as a VFX artist+lover of animation) I admire the film for being a massive undertaking on a level of scale and fidelity that hadn't really been attempted at the time, much of the photoreal CGI work in film today owes a debt to the work done by the 'spirits within' team. plus I still find some of the sci-fi concepts interesting, like the 'phantoms' and the idea of a frightening, otherwordly and disembodied alien entity that's invisible and can kill with a single touch (a probable allegory for the deadly radiation in post-WW2 japan) or cultivating energy from microorganisms in an almost alchemical way
Southland Tales. I think there’s something to be said about awe inspiring ambition. Also at the same time, the depiction of California is so strangely real (visually I mean). But Richard Kelly did not deserve to be put in director jail for something so compelling even if it falls on its face a couple times
I, too, loved ST. I always find it perplexing that most people will tag Donnie Darko as one of their favorite films then turn around and hate ST for all the reasons they like DD. It's Richard Kelly at his most ambitious. The tracking shots in this film are gorgeous. The soundtrack is insane. And the casting against type works so well in its favor. All that said, I don't think ST is why Kelly went to director jail. He made another film after this called The Box. And while this movie is very much a Richard Kelly film, it's also one which had a lot of obvious studio interference and it didn't fare any better for it. The movie flopped and I think the one-two of spectacular failure with ST and mediocrity in The Box just sorta made him a Hollywood pariah. It's sad, too, because I think he's one of the most uniquely visionary auteurs out there. Hopefully one day he'll get to sit in the director's chair again.
Scream 3, I don’t think it’s as bad as people make it out to be, while not as good as the first two, but imo it’s better than every Scream movie that’s come out after Scream 3, so better than 4, 5, and 6. August Rush from 2007, I was legit shocked that this movie got flack, I think it’s a beautiful family drama movie. It stars a young Freddie Highmore with Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Keri Russell, and Robin Williams. It’s about an adopted orphan boy that lives in a orphanage, and he wishes his mother would come back for him, so he runs away from the orphanage and tries to search for his mother in New York City. It’s a beautiful family drama movie, that shockingly got flack and I couldn’t believe it.
Scream 3 isn't an awful movie, it's not the worst but it's not better than 1,2, or 4. It's watchable, there are some boring parts where I check out but it's better than 5. To me it goes 1, 2/4,6,3,5
I so agree with everything you said about The Last Jedi! I still remember leaving the cinema on opening night (late screening, starting at 00:05 am actually) and telling my friend, another SW fan, that as a movie it wasn't bad per se, but as a SW movie it was dreadful and some of the side plots (Finn's and Poe's) felt more like what you would expect in a Star Trek movie (at least the ones from the 2009 reboot). Very weird screenplay choices overall that don't quite work as a movie but especially don't work as a SW installment (at least as a main saga chapter). It was especially frustrating since cinematography was actually gorgeous. That night Star Wars died to me. I finally understood what Disney's Lucasfilm was all about.
I know it’s widely hated but I recently watched the Adam Sandler film That’s My Boy and couldn’t stop laughing. They’d never make a film like that today, and even though it’s trash, I miss when people were allowed to make such trash lol
I don't understand the hate or dismissive of the first Cars movie, while it's not perfect or has the highest standards of what to expect of Pixar's catalogue, it's a love letter to a bygone age of American racing with the story of Route 66 paralleled with the setting and characters of Radiator Springs. The main message is timeless of simply slowing down and enjoy the simple aspects of life as shown in Lightening McQueen's character arc. In addition to the character if Doc Hudson, voiced by the late Paul Newman who is the main heart and soul of the film, the film wouldn't have it's moments without him.
I like sci fi movies like Valerian, Ghost in the Shell and Alita. They are not the deepest movies in the world, but they look amazing and you need to be creative to create the visuals and me as a fantasy artist appreciates it. Sometimes, i just want to watch something that looks beautiful.
Fury Road is one of my favorite films. I checked out of Furiosa with the time jump and Joe just being cool with her just being an Imperator unless I missed something. Theron's Furiosa was very vocal where this film made her brooding like Max in Fury Road and then this film ties right into Theron's journey which was jarring to me. The action was good. I just didn't need this story when it was touched on in Fury Road. But I totally get why people love this. I didn't.
- Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice (it's very flawed and overambitious, but I still really enjoyed it) - Longlegs (this is one of those movie where I can understand the backlash, but as a longtime Oz Perkins fan, I loved it) - The Blair Witch Project & Paranormal Activity (as far as found footage movies goes, these two are masterpieces, but it seems a lot of people hate both) - Dark Crimes (this movie has 0% on RT, but I really enjoyed due to incredible dark atmosphere and unusual performance from Jim Carrey)
mostly horror movies. the blair witch project, late night with the devil, were all going to the worlds fair, skinamarink, the poughkeepsie tapes. horror is such a divisive genre and what people like and dislike in it varies so much. i think most people have at least one horror movie with low ratings that they ride by.
Killa season written and directed my Cam’ron is oddly inspiring to me. By no means is it a well made movie, but just seeing someone make something 100% independently, with a SMALL budget, and an uncompromising vision is awesome to me. Dude took 27K, made a movie with his friends, sold it himself straight to DVD, and made a couple hundred thousand 🔥
Shoutout to the person who suggested Final Fantasy. I have vivid memories of that film from my childhood but never could remember the title. Now time for me to watch it to see if it’s stood the test of time 😅😅
I love the movie "Oscar"... one of the most hilarious films ever. Have you seen it? Everyone either hates it or doesn't want to give it a chance to watch it. Probably because Stallone is the lead character, but he was fantastic. Sharp dialogue and great comedic timing, set during the prohibition period of the 1920's gangs. Directed by John Landis with a great supporting cast like Marisa Tomei, Kirk Douglas and Tim Curry.
I liked Furiosa quite a bit but I really didn't understand the Hemsworth character. Just seemed completely out of place and unnecessary in the franchise. I mean, the character is fine, but it would have worked much better for me if 95 percent of his dialogue had been dropped...maybe even 99 percent. But the movie I always have to mention in topics like this is Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Not that people hate it, they're just indifferent or completely unaware but it's brilliant and gets better with each viewing. I'm a big Le Carre fan and have read a good bit of his catalog...the movie is better than the book. I would have thought that the director would have had a similar upward trajectory in his career as the cinematographer but I guess the Snowman really derailed him in Hollywood...hope he reemerges, he's super talented.
i think a lot of people who felt like the brandon fraser character in the whale was over the top, haven't seen those kind of people before, because i think they hit it right on the money.
I'm sure there're a few, but the one that comes to mind is Burlesque. I don't know if it's hated, but it's not regarded as a good movie. I know it's over the top and unrealistic, but I like the songs and dance numbers. And I usually hate musicals. I've never been a fan of Christina Aguilera, but she's never looked better than in this movie. I am a fan of Cher, but not a huge fan. And I thought they both were fine in the movie. I don't know exactly why I like this movie. But, if it's on, I'll watch it. I just thought of another one. She's Funny That Way. I don't think it's hated. I just don't think anyone saw it. It has a great cast and it's a fun movie. Imogen Poots (unfortunate last name) is one of my favorite actresses. Another actress I love is Margaret Qualley. Any movie that either of them is in, I'll at least give it a look.
I was not aware open water was a disliked movie. I enjoyed how they did not try to force it into a longer movie but instead finished it up in 70 minutes.
I actually really enjoy the Avatar films. The scope of Cameron's vision I find really engrossing. The characters journeys, the epic world-building, the visual spectacle - I find it very easy to like. Although, I don't think many people hate it as much as they claim either since they've made both films two of the highest grossing productions of all-time. It's just one of those franchises that's considered "cool" to hate on yet the same people will rush out to see every new entry in the series. 😂
Personally I think anything with Rowan Atkinson is brilliant, also love Commando & A Good Man which is Steven Seagals attempt at remaking Drive which he got horribly wrong
I think you skirted right around it but I’ll hit it more obviously: every single one of the Furiosa trailers *absolutely* made it look like one more girl boss that kicks the ass of 150 opponents and is absolutely perfect. I’m not at all opposed to strong female characters but I really am sick of that type of movie. After hearing your feedback - and some others - now I’m more interested in checking it out. Side note: you’re just a fantastic reviewer/discusser/mentor for movie watchers. Just discovered your channel in the last month and have enjoyed dozens of your older reviews. You’re a real high point - thank you!
I think The Last Jedi misses the mark tonally for a Star Wars movie. Rian Johnson seemed to think he was making a Marvel movie because TLJ has such an MCU tone to it.
"The Viewing" from Cabinet of Curiosities. The dialogue is clunky as fuck and yet it's truly an unforgettable segment. I simply love the themes explored (virtuosity, bonding, temptation, opulence, mutual respect...) the aesthetic, the camaraderie built between the characters, the music... There is love involved in the baking of this cake.
0:36 The Last Jedi
5:18 Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
6:23 The Whale
9:26 Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
13:38 Open Water
Furiosa? Nah, the hate over it are biased because they linked the film with "woke movies" which is not the case. Most of the people who hate it didnt watched it.
I still haven't seen the whale or open water, but I enjoyed all those movies, I especially liked Luke's character arc throughout the star wars saga, especially the how he had flaws and Friosa was not only gorgeous to look at but the story was very cool.
I never understood why people were upset with that.
Another movie I really liked everybody hated on was the gohst busters reboot, but I am a huge fan of Kristin Wigg and Kate McKinnon those two have some of my all time favorite SNL scetchs and I loved the chemistry of all the cast.
Dune, Deadpool, Fall Guy, movies I hate that others love.
The Humans, Showing Up, Corner Office, movies I love that others hate.
Alien: Resurrection. Some of the most fun action in the franchise! Bringing back Ripley could've been a boring gimmick, but they gave it a new twist by making her 1/2 Xenomorph. The characters are some of the most interesting and funny of most movies.
Only seen it a couple of times, and not for several years, but I enjoyed it. Certainly more than anything released after
I liked it a lot as well. It was also directed by Jean-Paul Jeunet, one of the best filmmakers ever, the guy who made Amelie. And the movie looks great.
Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, for me. I thought they were great movies.
Alien shares with star wars the curious statistic that only the first two instalments are good films.
SO underrated, so much fun and it’s directed by Jean Pierre Junette how can someone NOT stan
Quantum of Solace. There's just a rewatchability to it, from the frenetic opening car chase to the somber closing. I've watched it more than any of the other Craig films.
Agreed, very underrated. It's like Part 2 to Casino Royale
I agree with you everybody hates this one including me.
I dont like the camera cut in the movie. The story is okay. But compare to the others, the cinematografi is so bad.
It's far from a great Bond movie, but it isn't bad either. For a movie that kinda got slapped together in the wake of the strikes at the time, it's a small miracle that it's even watchable.
I find all the Craig bond films get better with rewatching except the last one
Vanilla sky. Not sure if it's hated but it's surely not talked about a lot. Tom Cruises best acting performance and every side character is perfectly cast and delivers. Not to mention it having one of the greatest soundtracks.
I'll do you one better: I love Vanilla Sky MUCH more than the Spanish original Abre Los Ojos. Not sure why, but Tom Cruise just has me in that role. Just *love* his performance there.
@@CC3GROUNDZERO I agree. He somehow makes a terrible man sympathetic.
@@c.o.6414 a vanilla sky if you will 😏
I can't understand the hate for this movie. It's intense and fascinating.
Yes, the movie is just like a dream... and captures it perfectly.
Babylon. I know they had different time-periods, but I feel like Chazelle did with that what Tarrantino tried to do with Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood. (I loved that as well)
silent hill (the first one; we dont talk about the second movie). i think people eventually came around to it these days, but i remember it being so maligned. it made me a fan of the franchise, actually - as i went to play the games after being mesmerized by the visuals and the atmosphere of the film. it is SO WELL SHOT and directed. the script is… messy and cumbersome, but it has this early 2000s charm that is honestly irresistible to me. rhada mitchell, sean bean and laurie holden also provide some nice performances all around.
It was too much like The Wicker Man for me but with Silent Hill visuals.
I recently finally watched this movie after wanting to so bad when the trailers came out as i love the first 3 games, unfortunately I never got around to it, so I always thought the discourse around this film was positive, but that film was sooo good! Honestly one of the best video game to film adaptations ever IMO. I actually saw it earlier this year and I thought they nailed it from a visual and story line aspect. I love it!
YES! I loved Silent Hill and the incredible atmosphere and mood.
And that ending has stayed with me for years....
Signs… I think this movie got a lot of hate because people were expecting it to be mostly about aliens… but in fact it was about how our loved ones can still resonate in our lives in strange and meaningful ways after they’ve passed. Be it supernatural or just natural. While the supernatural is really just unexplained nature we can think of this as a fantasy or miracle themed movie.
I liked 'Signs' too and for M. Night Shyamalan's more subtle take on an alien invasion movie as well as its life-after-death spiritual interpretation, character arcs, etc.
Plus, the score is fantastic and the opening main title music almost reminded me of Bernard Herrmann's score for 'Cape Fear' (1962) which was reused for 'Cape Fear' (1991). :)
Always liked it. First saw it as a kid and it was such a fun creepy experience
I feel people are really into this movie. I think M. Knights character is featured too much (not a cameo) and the whole swing away glasses of water shit was pure nonsense. Mel and Joaquin are good. I don’t hate it. I just don’t think it’s as good as sixth sense or unbreakable and I don’t think it’s head and shoulders above the village
This one is often considered to be Shyamalan's best film or at least in his top 3 so I'm not sure if this would qualify as a "hated film" IMO. Definitely an effective movie though. I even like M Knight's acting in this, had no idea it was even him the first time I saw it.
A film that really needed a joint and a rewrite lol, maybe than he would have noticed the details of they can fly to our planet but can't figure out doors or that water might be an issue. It's a fun movie though cheesy humour some unsettling atmosphere and really it has nothing to do with aliens but a man wrestling with his faith.
Death to Smoochy (2002) took a critical and popular pummeling . It’s been ages and I’m due to rewatch, but don’t remember talking to anyone that also liked it. The pairing of Norton’s character in the world he inhabited worked for me
I loved it, but that's probably because I had a personal connection to the people who produced Barney, so I really appreciated it.
I love Death to Smoochy. One of Edwards best roles and Danny Devito as well. I love Death to Smoochy.
This is my favorite comedy of all time. Rated R Robin Williams and Ed Norton? Directed by Danny DeVito? Hell yes.
Loved it for the most part, but the ending felt tacked on and contrived.
Alien 3. I grew up watching the whole “trilogy”. Only after the internet decided it was a piece of garbage, I started finding its flaws. Yes. It’s choppy, it’s not perfect, the CGi and some decisions were questionable, but overall, it’s a very good film, specially setting up the atmosphere and creepy tone. Excellent performance by Sigourney Weaver.
My fav along with Part 1. Always loved it.
It has a distinct feel and the underwater sequence is engrained in my brain... Alien 3 Rules.
@@SeekingGodsWill underwater? Are you talking about Alien Resurrection (Part 4)?
@@scmkar Dear God am I really? Where the Paraplegic is strapped to his teammates back? The whole team swimming hard to their next breath?
@@SeekingGodsWill yes haha, thats 4... Part 3 is the one on the prison planet
I loved Furiousa and I’ve been a die hard fan of that franchise since I was a kid. People were constantly complaining that Max wasn’t in it. Honestly Max is a passenger in someone else’s fight in every movie, but the original. Miller still expanded on the world that was established in Fury Road. I thought it was a perfect companion film to watch with Fury Road.
I liked Furiosa but if Mel Gibson is not in it, it's not a Mad Max movie to me.
While You Were Sleeping.
Romantic Comedy I saw with my wife when it came out decades ago is one of our “must play movies” Christmas list.
High Fidelity. I love John Cusack's engaged work in that film (haven't read the book). Literally everyone I showed this film to or talked about it seemed to hate the film, but I stand by it and always will. Also launched Jack Black's career with a bang!
High Fidelity is one of my favorite films ever!
I love 'High Fidelity' too and have watched it many, many times. :)
For me, it’s enough that they work in a vinyl store and that he has list for everything :)
@@TackJorrance Many people dislike the narcissism of the main character, which I do understand. He's a narcissist who wants to know and do better, but still a massive narcissist.
One of my faves
The original 1967 "Casino Royale." Saw it as a kid and have to watch it to the end every time I stumble across it on TV, and I have it on DVD. I know it's a bloated, chaotic mess, but I love that about it. I also love the soundtrack, all the'60s Bond girls, and Woody Allen as the villain.
Have not seen it for a while, but it was a lot of fun.
Predator 2 believe it or not I like more than the first one. I found it a fantastic horror/action/cop drama mix. Danny Glover is a great protagonist we don't need some over-the-top action hero, a normal cop fighting the Predator is even more interesting and it has some of the coolest shots in the whole series also let's not forget the scene on the train. Great filmmaking. Okay, I guess it could come off as offensive to Jamaicans but hey it was 1990.
Nobody hates Predator 2, though. lol
@@johnnyskinwalker4095 Really I thought I a lot of people hated it.
@@mrdth1987 ah ha I think it bombed in theaters but a lot of people discovered it on video and loved it. I loved the first Predator and I literally had no idea this came out in theaters at the time! I would have watched it but I don't remember ANY promotion of this movie. I love the idea of a Predator unleashed in a urban setting.
I think some people hate Predator 2, but it's a great follow up, depending on the day I may love it just as much as the original. I also think Danny Glover is a great protagonist and kinda an underrated one for this series!
Speed Racer. While the filmmaking techniques and rapid flying colors on display can be offputting to some viewers, The Wachowskis crafted a beautiful, creative movie that literally anyone can find enjoyment in.
I guess I should then see it. I remember always feeling why are they not making a SPEED RACER movie, and was glad that they were. But when I saw the previews o f teh film, it just put me off as being kind of stupid looking. Perhaps I am wrong.
Wachowskis have made a couple, Cloud Atlas also is epic
Furiosa definitely did NOT have as much action as Fury Road but I absolutely loved it. Saw it 3 times in theaters. Definitely was not girl boss and felt less feminist than Fury Road.
Noah (2013). Im not religious at all, and most criticisms i saw were how it deviated from the biblical story
Do people hate this movie? This is genuinely my favourite Darren Aronofsky movie.
I'm a Christian and absolutely loved Noah. I didn't find that it deviated from the biblical story but instead expanded upon it intelligently.
I like Noah... I was hoping for even more Watcher content.. That was so cool and interesting. Good movie.. I also like Exodus with Christian Bale.
For me it just felt like Aronofsky trying to make a Hollywood Blockbuster, with Russell Crowe, and Emma Watson in it, and a huge budget.
It felt like selling out for him, and I think he does better with lower budget stuff.
I should watch it again though.
@@BullyMaguire4ever I would need to explore more Aronofsky Films. If I'm not mistaken, he made Requiem for a Dream. An insanely epic sick movie for people who abuse drugs/use drugs. The Fountain is on my list of all-time great movies.
From that knowledge, I was happy to see him tackle the supernatural. Until you informed me. I never knew this was made by the same director. I cannot disagree with you.
Literally everyone I know liked Furiosa as much as I did. The whole tedious i hate girls in movies thing was not relevant. Miller flexed like only Miller can.
I liked the movie, however I think its pace is a bit off and it especially feels like the last bit drags on forever. But still a good movie that, let's be honest, after an action masterpiece such as Fury Road it was impossible to expect it to be even on par to that previous installment. I don't get the hate at all.
I really like the Coen Brothers' 'The Hudsucker Proxy' starring Tim Robbins, Paul Newman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, John Mahoney, Bruce Campbell, etc. but few people I know have seen it when it's such a funny movie in many ways with an excellent score by Carter Burwell who borrowed from works by Aram Khachaturian (from his 'Spartacus' ballet music).
The movie didn't do well at the box office back in 1994 (when I saw it in a movie theatre) when it had a budget of $25 million, but only made $11 million at the box office, but that's probably due to the odd, eccentric title that did not draw in audiences right off the bat. Who knows? Still, it's definitely worth seeing. :)
The hula hoop scene is a masterpiece in itself. Unfortunately I don't have the same enthusiasm for the rest of the movie.
You know, for kids.
I love that movie, too, and watch the DVD once or twice a year. Especially around New Year's Eve.
Its a screwball masterpiece massively underrated
Damn girl you’ve been stuck in that room for like better part of a decade now old boy style. Hope you get out one day.
You handled my Last Jedi take with Jedi-level composure and grace, even though I know it must have tempted you to turn to the dark side. Much appreciated
How about Passion of the Christ? I fully understand that this movie isn't for everyone, but I hate it when people describe it as a "snuff film", when it's clearly more ambitious and artistic than that. Plus, I think the movie gains a lot of mileage out of its use of ancient languages to immerse you in a different time and place.
Absolutely. It's amazingly well-crafted; the dense, layered symbolism and meticulously detailed shots, along with one of the most beautiful, mesmerizing music scores ever put to film.
It's also intensely disturbing, which may put some off; me being the horror aficionado that I am, the darker graphic elements only make the film that much more fascinating.
1. Frozen (So many people call it overrated that it's paradoxically become underrated; I think it's one of the best films of the 21st century)
2. The Fountainhead
3. Glen or Glenda (would have a Criterion release if it didn't have the stigma of Ed Wood's name attached to it)
4. Christmas Evil
5. The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T
6. Caligula
7. Agora
8. Conquest of the Planet of the Apes
9. Son of Kong
10. The Cable Guy
Honorable mentions:
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. I acknowledge that it isn't high art, but it fulfills its purpose of being a silly low-budget family film to provide 80 minutes of fun. I enjoy the bizarrely whimsical atmosphere it creates with such minuscule resources. Even if cheap, I always prefer the stylized over the naturalistic.
Tomorrowland. A film I almost love. The premise and themes are absolutely amazing, but the execution is merely good. Perhaps Disney wouldn't be in the creative rut it is today if this was a financial hit.
Exorcist II. Beautifully shot madness. Certainly it makes no sense, but it comes from an inherently nonsensical premise and completely embraces the absurdity.
1BR. I think it's one of the better horror films of recent years, albeit flawed. The direction is average, but thematically it's brilliant. Received decent reviews but very little attention.
Rambo 3
In terms of action this is as good as it gets, it's a compact action film with some seriously underrated performances. The music is amazing, the technical effects, like the pyrotechnics are in my opinion unmatched, especially today where they now use mostly CGI instead of Squibs which were much better.
I think most of its negative reception came from Americans not understanding the nuances of conflict in the middle east and once the Gulf War kicked off most people remember this as the Film where Rambo works with the Terrorists, which couldn't be further from the truth.
Worth a rewatch if you feel like a good ol' fashioned Action Film.
For me the list goes: Freddy Got FIngered, Movie 43 (The Theatrical Cut), and Chaos (the 2005 version).
Alien resurrection - It's like poor things in space and it's awesome
Just saw The Whale last night and it's just ok, 5/10 for me. Brendan does a great job but his Academy Award win is pretty clearly a make-up award for his work in Monkeybone (2001). Well deserved.
Yes glad you brought up the ending! Didn't want to ramble for too long since you read the whole comment out loud.
The song is a Fijian "farewell" song called Isa Lei and if I remember correctly it's sung by children. The whole sequence leading up to her death with the swelling music you think MAYBE it's building up to a final attempt at escape, but nope. She submerges herself, silence, then the song plays.
Genuinely get chills thinking about it.
I love when you do these, thank you Maggie.
There were only two moments in Furiosa where the CGI was so noticeable it took me out. I'm really sad this bombed. It's the best this year so far for me.
Furiosa is one of the best films of year in my opinion one of the saddest box office bombs in recent memory for me
I’m convinced The Last Jedi was made to troll the Star Wars fandom
Pretty much. When you specifically have Luke be the opposite to how people envisioned him to be, and you end the film with a non-lightsaber fight. 🫥🫥🫥
Mike Myers is always good for laugh. His performance as The Cat in the Hat gets better every time I see it.
Cat disguised as The Hippie Freak: "Okay, I have a problem with the word "dog". I don't use the "D" word per se, cause I think it's really, really wrong. Yeah. But I will happily use the term Canine-American. I am more comfortable with that really, yeah."
"get out of my way you HIPPIE FREAK"
10/10 that movie is a classic in my mates and my book.
Endless amount of quotable lines.
Dirty hoe....
Open Water is a great film. The hate it gets is ridiculous. It's really a low-budget, indie masterpiece. Maybe one day the world will realize that.
open water was cool but the couple were these annoying workaholics. They were probably like that in real life. At the I was rooting for the sharks. Eat them!!
@@edwardduarte7393 Are you proposing a sequel/crossover with Jaws where the shark wins?? I think that's what you're saying and I love it!!!
It has an argument for my scariest movie of all time because it's so realistic and terrifyingly visceral as a result. That's why I've never watched it again even though I would categorize it as "good". Horror movies aren't my thing, but a realistic depiction of being hunted by a school of whitetips in open water is just beyond terror for me.
@@angelthman1659 I liked the sequel as well. Mostly the premise but it remained suspenseful and entertaining.
I have never heard anybody hate on Open Water. Another good shark movie in that same style is "The Reef" based on a true story. They use a hands on camera as well but you see the shark in this.
Xanadu.
ONJ is INCREDIBLY cute... and you GOTTA love the music!

I would agree with the Last Jedi one. It is the most enjoyable film outside of the first 2 for me. There’s a lot of problems with it but its chaos is so exciting and so interesting to me.
Solaris (2002) This film has a therapeutic effect on me, and the score is amazing
Watch the original
Cliff Martinez's score was beautiful. I sometimes confuse him with Clint Mansell.
Alien Resurrection there are so many awful things in it, but damn Sigourney, Ron Pearlman and Winona I know it's sloppy and weird but it's My guilty pleasure
Stephen Chow Kung Fu Hustle for me, watched it when I was a kid, but later found out that most of the people don't like his movies. I absolutely love the cartoonist/LogicLess action.
Maybe in America? But he used to dominate HK film back in the 90s.
I absolutely loved _Annihilation_ and everyone hated it. Same with _Prometheus_ .
I think annihilation was very much appreciated. Great movie.
@hanumaniam Annihilation was critically panned when it came out and was considered a failure. I loved it though.
@therevolutionwillnotbeyoutubed I think it got better press in the UK where I am. I have a feeling it's because it was released only on Netflix rather than in theatres, so expectations were low and then word spread about how good it was.
@hanumaniam That's interesting. I didn't even think about press in other countries. Yeah. Here, in the states, it was critically panned and considered a flop. Maybe because it got a theatrical release. So theatrically.. it bombed. I saw it in theaters.
@@therevolutionwillnotbeyoutubed it's such an interesting movie and a pity that an original story(obviously based on the book) couldn't do better in a world of remakes and reboots.
I guess another way of saying, "Movies you love that everyone hates' is "movies that are your guilty pleasures", although the latter would imply that one knows a movie is awful (as do the critics) and yet, one enjoys it anyway for various reasons (nostalgia, key performances or key sequences that stood out, etc.). :)
"Breakin" from 1984 . I dont care, i love it!! and the soundtrack is 🔥🔥.
Out on the street you don't survive by being meek
*The Jerk* - For my money, the best "pure comedy" ever produced in America. Others will say Annie Hall or Some Like It Hot or The Big Lebowski, and I love all those films, but in terms of "pure comedy," laughs per minute, uproarious hilarity, timeless gags, NOTHING beats The Jerk. Those other films may work better "as cinema," because their greatness rests on other qualities apart from raw humor - the genuine romance of Annie Hall, the classic professionalism of Some Like It Hot, the quirky characterizations of the Big Lebowski - whereas The Jerk doesn't pretend to be anything it's not. The brilliance of The Jerk is that it rests in its stupidity, and Steve Martin so thoroughly immerses himself in the title role that you can't help but go along for the ride. Carl Reiner keeps a great pace going throughout, so the laughs never cease for the sake of detailing the plot, and it never drags because The Jerk opts to build plot and character THROUGH its comedy. It shies away from nothing in order to get a laugh, but it never resorts to senseless raunch masquerading as wit. Everything (and I mean everything) in this movie is played for kicks - yet, somehow, the romance between the two leads is truly heartwarming. That ukelele scene! ❤
*Killer's Kiss* -
*Boondock Saints* -
*Billy Madison* -
Everyone hates "The Jerk"? That's the first I've heard of it. It's a CLASSIC.
Maybe it's FROWNED upon now, as it's politically incorrect like "Arthur" and "Blazing Saddles"... but it was NOT a failure, by any means...
@@leapguy1235 I wouldn't say that everybody hates it, but it wasn't as well-received among critics as it was general audiences. Even Roger Ebert gave it a bad review.
One of my guilty pleasures is Roger Corman's 'Battle Beyond the Stars' which is 'Star Wars' meets 'The Magnificent Seven' (or 'The Seven Samurai' which preceded it) and although it's clearly a 'Star Wars' knockoff, it has some unique aliens, cool special effects (by fledgling James Cameron), and a gorgeous score by James Horner before he composed his iconic score for 'Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan'. :)
2001 - As much as I see it on every list of "best movies ever" - I can never get anyone to go with me to see it when it cycles around at our local theater in August. Especially now with the incredibly restored 70mm version - I can't get enough of this movie. It just seems that immersing yourself in a movie like this isn't interesting to the movie goers that want a straightforward story....
2001 will always be one of those films that average Joe moviegoers won't sit through. There are very long stretches with no dialogue or action, so most will just get pissed off.
I saw it on the big screen once, it's a pretty unique experience.
Terminator 3. Some failed humor, but overall a good old-fashioned action movie with a good ending.
Avatar (The first one). Everybody online seems to hate it for having a similar plot to dances With Wolves, but it is very well made and engaging, and 99% of all movies also have story beats that can be found in other movies, without receiving a similar criticism.
In some ways T3 is better than T2.
Agreed. T3 is my second favorite Terminator movie after T1.
I actually liked Salvation and Dark Fate
"The Mothman Prophecies", I don't know if people hate it...but they almost never talk about it and it's my absolute favorite horror movie ever. It's just so damn eerie, and I think the movie might actually be doing it's best to depict a fourth dimensional alien that exists outside of linear spacetime.
I saw that at the cinema but can't remember it very well.
Like my father did for me, I have followed the long tradition of being a irresponsible dad, showing horror and action movies to my kid from a young age. We watched Fury Road when she was about six and she absolutely loved it. So watching Furiosa with her on the big screen now that she’s 15 was amazing. She absolutely loved it! My
Father who is 77 now has dementia but came over this last weekend, my daughter was excited to show him Furiosa, we had a great time!
So well articulated as usual Maggie 👌🏽
10 Cloverfield Lane and in fact the whole Cloverfield franchise. I love that it keeps changing and is only loosely connected. I love that 1 minute it's a city wide Kaiju disaster film, then a small scale basement hostage situation with the monster being man, then suddenly the isolation of a space crew at the time of the disaster. It's a rollercoaster ride for me that I think everyone who hated the sequels wanted off the ride.
So many.... here are a few
Waterworld!, one of the biggest flops in movie history, it took Kevin Costner two decades to regain movie star status again.
Beyond Thunderdome, not the best in the series but I like it.
Alien 3 and Resurrection, loved them both, they came up during my teen years.
Ghostbusters 2016. Fun ride overall as it does its own thing, good cast, isn't bogged down in fan service and nostalgia for the 1984 film, etc.
Has the best action of all the movies.
My main issue with criticism towards The Last Jedi is that I think people are underestimating how much inconsistency there is in the sequel trilogy as a whole. Like, you can say the film didn't deliver on the merits of what it should have. But you really can't blame Rian Johnson for the mess that film created, when Disney didn't really have a concrete plan to begin with.
But he made a big mistake. He didn't give a shit about the previous movie. It almost seemed like a reboot.
@@recetasfaciles2816 Did Rian Johnson approved the script and financed the movie ? 100% Disney fault
Oh, 100% blame needs to be laid at Lucasfilm’s feet and Disney executives. Ever thinking they could have different directors without having all the plot laid out before hand was idiotic
The problem I found was RJ understanding Jedis. Luke Skywalker is by far one of the most powerful and wise Jedis in the Star Wars Universe. And Johnson seemed to have a particular aversion to give Luke a slight bit of dignity. Old, bitter, grumpy, unprepared, tried to kill his paddawan, gets “defeated” by his own 2 day new student, dies in the most uninspiring way possible.
@@carl_anderson9315”..Dies in the most uninspiring way possible”.
Yeah, you lost me there. Luke died in a way only the most powerful Jedi ever possibly could.
Prometheus / Alien Covenant. The endings aren't satisfying but its a good time. Easily my favourite sci fi universe in films. Alien Romulas has done well at the box office so expect more films.
Love Prometheus an Covenant. Ancient Aliens vibes. Absolutely awesome stuff.
I have to admit that 'Prometheus' and even 'Alien Covenant' have grown on me over time or in me like a xenomorph fetus. Hahaha!
I'll always love 'Alien' (1979) and 'Aliens' (1986) above all others, but there are certainly aspects of 'Prometheus' and 'Alien Covenant' that I enjoy and aside from 'Alien: Romulus' which I have not seen, I have seen (and own) the rest of the movies in the franchise.
I feel they were relatively well received upon release but now are generally disliked, could just be my perception. Never personally liked them, the writing and characters are just bad imo
@@----t----1234 For Prometheus it was finally learning so much about Weyland. And also a lot more about Weyland Yutani's motives and procedures... The Creation myth was incredible although underdeveloped. I could have watched a whole trilogy on those topics alone. The main woman is also a phenomenal actress, along with her love interest. No clue who that guy is or where he went. But he was like Ryan Philipe to me, just Solid...
Some really dumb moments. But I will love that movie despite its flaws. It is so good imho.
Love Prometheus, Covenant is kinda meh to me. I love the high concepts and more cerebral take
Alien romulus bought me here. I like your perspective on movies. Good job.
Instant countdown to the phrase 'subversion of tropes' whenever I hear someone discuess why TLJ is actually good
0:36 The reason I know the Star Wars sequel trilogy films suck is due to my inability to recognize or hum a single new theme from those movies compared to the music of the original Star Wars trilogy I know extremely well and have ever since I saw 'Star Wars' back in 1977, 'The Empire Strikes Back' in 1980, and 'Return of the Jedi' in 1983.
The Star Wars prequels had a few great themes here and there, but not 'Rogue One', not 'Solo' (other than a main title theme by John Williams), and certainly not the sequel trilogy.
I kind of felt sorry for John Williams having had to compose scores for the sequel trilogy that relied heavily on his past scores for the original trilogy, familiar cues, etc. to carry those new movies. Even the great John Williams can only polish a turd so far before he really can't save bad movies with terrible scripts, etc. but it wasn't due to his lack of talent as his scores for some of the 'Harry Potter' movies and 'Catch Me If You Can' proved. He was still in top form when movies had merit.
I agree with the music! Ludwig Göransson with The Mandalorian is the only one in the new era that managed to create new iconic Star Wars music. I'd love to see him work on the next movies as well, seeing that the new scores my Williams felt like such nothing burgers ...
I love Inherent Vice. Nobody else does lol
I love Inherent Vice.
I loved Furiosa, as well.
It served the overall stories of the wasteland very well, honored the source material and even expanded on it. The only thing missing for me was the original actor (Hugh Keays-Byrne) who played Immortan Joe. This new actor (Lachy Hulme) didn't have the gravitas as Kaeys-Byrne did. (did you know that Keays-Byrne played the original villain, Toecutter in the very first Mad Max movie?) Also, the CGI didn't bother me that much, as I just love George Miller's directing.
And who couldn't love Chris Hemsworth's Dementus? He plays a great villain (he was so good as the cult leader Billy in Bad Times At The El Royale - such a refreshing performance after all his 'heroic' movies - not just as Thor).
Overall Furiosa is a great movie experience (watching Furiosa followed by Fury Road was fun and almost seamless) - and yes, I did see Furiosa on an IMAX screen (as well as Fury Road when it came out)! So sad Furiosa does not get credit enough for being a really well made film in this day and age of so many bad ones that get rave reviews...
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein 1994, Prometheus, Fantastic Four Rise of the Sulver Surfer, and X-Men the Last Stand are big ones for me right now
Was Mary Shelley'S Frankenstein hated? Never heard anybody hate on it. Personally I loved it and I was right there at the theater when it came out.
@@johnnyskinwalker4095 yeah I love how it goes for the over the top stage play aesthetic, just the music alone gets me hyped, frankenstein is not a subtle character he deserves a bombastic movie
@@moredumbtoit5325 Oh yea I absolutely loved how bombastic it was! I also love how they had the guts to actually go ahead with the creation of Miss Monster. It was something I really had not predicted and this scene was just out of this World in the theater. I was speechless. Great acting from Helena Bonham Carter.
@@johnnyskinwalker4095 so nice to hear someone talk and just agree with every little point, especially when i've found nothing but vitrial from others, i feel like the monster vs the villagers, that fire stunt and the way they shoot and edit it is one of the best scenes in history! i love this movie to death and the monster has quickly become extremely emotionally impactful on me for some reason, I was watching monster squad last halloween and SOBBING when he had to say goodbye to the little girl, i still don't know why anything frankenstein gets the waterworks goin for me, maybe frankenstein is the harshest example of others tearing down an innocent thing, and the little glimmer of love from a blind man or little girl holding his hand is heartbreaking
I got sad even just now picturing a little girl holding his hand and taking him off to the sunset
Swordfish. Every video I have found on the internet about this 2001 film is nothing but people trash talking this movie. I truly don't understand the hate. Sure, the technology in the flick is quite dated obviously but it does have a strong primus with high stakes, a great antagonist played by John Travolta plus the rest of the cast did a great job. The dialog was sharply written and masterfully delivered along with some cool editing choices. I get it, the CGI explosion in the beginning wasn't as good as it could've been but focus more on the story. It has become a tradition for me to watch the movie once a year every January 1st. I've probably seen it like 30 times in my life. Back in the mid-2000s the movie was in the TV channel FX a lot so it just grew on me more and more each time I saw it. It's actually one of my all-time favorite movies.
oh I didn't expect you to read my comment! I am the 'final fantasy spirits within' lover... I can't really defend the myriad issues it has, the dull characters and the story that ranged from saccharine and melodramatic to plodding and unsatisfying. explaining why I like it is tough to sum up, but I was a young kid hooked on final fantasy games when it came out so that certainly has something to do with it sticking in my brain. as an adult (and as a VFX artist+lover of animation) I admire the film for being a massive undertaking on a level of scale and fidelity that hadn't really been attempted at the time, much of the photoreal CGI work in film today owes a debt to the work done by the 'spirits within' team. plus I still find some of the sci-fi concepts interesting, like the 'phantoms' and the idea of a frightening, otherwordly and disembodied alien entity that's invisible and can kill with a single touch (a probable allegory for the deadly radiation in post-WW2 japan) or cultivating energy from microorganisms in an almost alchemical way
I love this movie... POWERFUL movie.... Memorable Sequences and Gorgeous Animation.. I Love Spirits within..
Justice for FURIOSA!!!!
Southland Tales.
I think there’s something to be said about awe inspiring ambition. Also at the same time, the depiction of California is so strangely real (visually I mean). But Richard Kelly did not deserve to be put in director jail for something so compelling even if it falls on its face a couple times
Southland Tales is awesome
I, too, loved ST. I always find it perplexing that most people will tag Donnie Darko as one of their favorite films then turn around and hate ST for all the reasons they like DD. It's Richard Kelly at his most ambitious. The tracking shots in this film are gorgeous. The soundtrack is insane. And the casting against type works so well in its favor.
All that said, I don't think ST is why Kelly went to director jail. He made another film after this called The Box. And while this movie is very much a Richard Kelly film, it's also one which had a lot of obvious studio interference and it didn't fare any better for it. The movie flopped and I think the one-two of spectacular failure with ST and mediocrity in The Box just sorta made him a Hollywood pariah. It's sad, too, because I think he's one of the most uniquely visionary auteurs out there. Hopefully one day he'll get to sit in the director's chair again.
Scream 3, I don’t think it’s as bad as people make it out to be, while not as good as the first two, but imo it’s better than every Scream movie that’s come out after Scream 3, so better than 4, 5, and 6.
August Rush from 2007, I was legit shocked that this movie got flack, I think it’s a beautiful family drama movie. It stars a young Freddie Highmore with Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Keri Russell, and Robin Williams.
It’s about an adopted orphan boy that lives in a orphanage, and he wishes his mother would come back for him, so he runs away from the orphanage and tries to search for his mother in New York City.
It’s a beautiful family drama movie, that shockingly got flack and I couldn’t believe it.
Scream 3 isn't an awful movie, it's not the worst but it's not better than 1,2, or 4. It's watchable, there are some boring parts where I check out but it's better than 5. To me it goes 1, 2/4,6,3,5
I e noticed many people hate the Big Chill. I regard it as a masterpiece.
I so agree with everything you said about The Last Jedi! I still remember leaving the cinema on opening night (late screening, starting at 00:05 am actually) and telling my friend, another SW fan, that as a movie it wasn't bad per se, but as a SW movie it was dreadful and some of the side plots (Finn's and Poe's) felt more like what you would expect in a Star Trek movie (at least the ones from the 2009 reboot). Very weird screenplay choices overall that don't quite work as a movie but especially don't work as a SW installment (at least as a main saga chapter). It was especially frustrating since cinematography was actually gorgeous. That night Star Wars died to me. I finally understood what Disney's Lucasfilm was all about.
I know it’s widely hated but I recently watched the Adam Sandler film That’s My Boy and couldn’t stop laughing. They’d never make a film like that today, and even though it’s trash, I miss when people were allowed to make such trash lol
A movie that I love and everyone hates is Lady in The Water.
I don't understand the hate or dismissive of the first Cars movie, while it's not perfect or has the highest standards of what to expect of Pixar's catalogue, it's a love letter to a bygone age of American racing with the story of Route 66 paralleled with the setting and characters of Radiator Springs.
The main message is timeless of simply slowing down and enjoy the simple aspects of life as shown in Lightening McQueen's character arc. In addition to the character if Doc Hudson, voiced by the late Paul Newman who is the main heart and soul of the film, the film wouldn't have it's moments without him.
The story of Cars is fine. I have zero issue with it. The anthropomorphic car thing is just a conceptually weak idea.
I just remember that WTF moment while watching "Cars" that it was just a reworking of "Doc Hollywood"...
I like sci fi movies like Valerian, Ghost in the Shell and Alita. They are not the deepest movies in the world, but they look amazing and you need to be creative to create the visuals and me as a fantasy artist appreciates it. Sometimes, i just want to watch something that looks beautiful.
Fury Road is one of my favorite films. I checked out of Furiosa with the time jump and Joe just being cool with her just being an Imperator unless I missed something. Theron's Furiosa was very vocal where this film made her brooding like Max in Fury Road and then this film ties right into Theron's journey which was jarring to me. The action was good. I just didn't need this story when it was touched on in Fury Road. But I totally get why people love this. I didn't.
Fury Road was an all-time classic, Furiosa was basically leftovers that you give to your neighbor in a paper plate wrapped in a tinfoil.
- Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice (it's very flawed and overambitious, but I still really enjoyed it)
- Longlegs (this is one of those movie where I can understand the backlash, but as a longtime Oz Perkins fan, I loved it)
- The Blair Witch Project & Paranormal Activity (as far as found footage movies goes, these two are masterpieces, but it seems a lot of people hate both)
- Dark Crimes (this movie has 0% on RT, but I really enjoyed due to incredible dark atmosphere and unusual performance from Jim Carrey)
mostly horror movies. the blair witch project, late night with the devil, were all going to the worlds fair, skinamarink, the poughkeepsie tapes. horror is such a divisive genre and what people like and dislike in it varies so much. i think most people have at least one horror movie with low ratings that they ride by.
Killa season written and directed my Cam’ron is oddly inspiring to me. By no means is it a well made movie, but just seeing someone make something 100% independently, with a SMALL budget, and an uncompromising vision is awesome to me. Dude took 27K, made a movie with his friends, sold it himself straight to DVD, and made a couple hundred thousand 🔥
2 main movies I absolutely adore but the entire internet regularly shits on: Super Mario Bros (1993) & Batman and Robin
Shoutout to the person who suggested Final Fantasy. I have vivid memories of that film from my childhood but never could remember the title. Now time for me to watch it to see if it’s stood the test of time 😅😅
10:11 I missed out on Furiosa in theaters, but watched it a few weeks ago for the first time ~ LOVED IT.
There's been a few the past couple of years that became cool to hate online but I love stuff like Saltburn, Don't Look Up & The Whale
I love the movie "Oscar"... one of the most hilarious films ever. Have you seen it? Everyone either hates it or doesn't want to give it a chance to watch it. Probably because Stallone is the lead character, but he was fantastic. Sharp dialogue and great comedic timing, set during the prohibition period of the 1920's gangs. Directed by John Landis with a great supporting cast like Marisa Tomei, Kirk Douglas and Tim Curry.
Best part is the two tailors with that photo they carry around. "when we finished, you're own mama no recognize you."
Wild that I have never even heard of this.
I liked Furiosa quite a bit but I really didn't understand the Hemsworth character. Just seemed completely out of place and unnecessary in the franchise. I mean, the character is fine, but it would have worked much better for me if 95 percent of his dialogue had been dropped...maybe even 99 percent. But the movie I always have to mention in topics like this is Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Not that people hate it, they're just indifferent or completely unaware but it's brilliant and gets better with each viewing. I'm a big Le Carre fan and have read a good bit of his catalog...the movie is better than the book. I would have thought that the director would have had a similar upward trajectory in his career as the cinematographer but I guess the Snowman really derailed him in Hollywood...hope he reemerges, he's super talented.
Its not that everyone else hates it, but I am the only one that absolutely love "I am mother" ... would love to see a review to that movie.
I also love Blackhat. never understood the hate for that film.
i think a lot of people who felt like the brandon fraser character in the whale was over the top, haven't seen those kind of people before, because i think they hit it right on the money.
I'm sure there're a few, but the one that comes to mind is Burlesque. I don't know if it's hated, but it's not regarded as a good movie. I know it's over the top and unrealistic, but I like the songs and dance numbers. And I usually hate musicals. I've never been a fan of Christina Aguilera, but she's never looked better than in this movie. I am a fan of Cher, but not a huge fan. And I thought they both were fine in the movie. I don't know exactly why I like this movie. But, if it's on, I'll watch it.
I just thought of another one. She's Funny That Way. I don't think it's hated. I just don't think anyone saw it. It has a great cast and it's a fun movie. Imogen Poots (unfortunate last name) is one of my favorite actresses. Another actress I love is Margaret Qualley. Any movie that either of them is in, I'll at least give it a look.
Old. I don’t know what it is about M Night movies, but even his bad movies are genuinely engaging no matter how dumb the premise is.
The premise was interesting. It would've been a good movie too if the dialog wasn't so cringe.
I rather liked Old. Unique idea, and while there certainly were some flaws and wonky bits here and there, as a whole the film delivered for me.
I was not aware open water was a disliked movie. I enjoyed how they did not try to force it into a longer movie but instead finished it up in 70 minutes.
Agree on Furiosa. You disappointed me humanity for not buying tickets.
I think it is finally doing pretty well now that it is streaming/on Max. (Similar to Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes-incredibly underrated).
@@MrDuneedon Kingdom had a rather solid box office run, unlike Furiosa ...
I’m glad I purchased tix I wasn’t happy when I saw the trailer and I hate the lead actress but it’s honestly my #1 favorite movie of the year
imax screening I went to was full
I love the Furiosa love. Such a great flick. I saw it opening night and was bummed that it didnt perform well.
The Humans. Really like this movie & the editing, cinematography & sound is one of my favorites.
Mine is Pirates of the Caribbean - Curse of the Black Pearl. It's one of the best movies ever made.
I loved It Comes at Night. Was stunned when finding out it was mostly heated. 2016's Gods of Egypt comes as a guilty pleasure.
I actually really enjoy the Avatar films. The scope of Cameron's vision I find really engrossing. The characters journeys, the epic world-building, the visual spectacle - I find it very easy to like. Although, I don't think many people hate it as much as they claim either since they've made both films two of the highest grossing productions of all-time. It's just one of those franchises that's considered "cool" to hate on yet the same people will rush out to see every new entry in the series. 😂
We’re talking movies here kid, not cartoons
@likearollingstone007 Grow up. I've seen more movies than you well ever see so don't patronise me. 🤡
@@LiamPerry97 😂
Personally I think anything with Rowan Atkinson is brilliant, also love Commando & A Good Man which is Steven Seagals attempt at remaking Drive which he got horribly wrong
I think you skirted right around it but I’ll hit it more obviously: every single one of the Furiosa trailers *absolutely* made it look like one more girl boss that kicks the ass of 150 opponents and is absolutely perfect. I’m not at all opposed to strong female characters but I really am sick of that type of movie.
After hearing your feedback - and some others - now I’m more interested in checking it out.
Side note: you’re just a fantastic reviewer/discusser/mentor for movie watchers. Just discovered your channel in the last month and have enjoyed dozens of your older reviews. You’re a real high point - thank you!
I think The Last Jedi misses the mark tonally for a Star Wars movie. Rian Johnson seemed to think he was making a Marvel movie because TLJ has such an MCU tone to it.
Why is it a problem for Star Wars but not Marvel?
Furiosa was really solid. It 100% was kneecapped by Hollywood girlboss slop that came before, and it suffered because of it.
Definitely is underrated.
"The Viewing" from Cabinet of Curiosities. The dialogue is clunky as fuck and yet it's truly an unforgettable segment. I simply love the themes explored (virtuosity, bonding, temptation, opulence, mutual respect...) the aesthetic, the camaraderie built between the characters, the music... There is love involved in the baking of this cake.
Furiosa was excellent. Had a great time at the cinema seeing this with friends.
