I love The Village. I think it's a beautiful film. It pains me when people group it with the shit-tier of Shyamalan films.

Suicide squad...i legtimatley do not understand what makes it soo much worse than other super hero flicks, it had a fun cast and a great soundtrack, as a dc nerd it was great to see those characters. Before you all call me on my batman lovin bias i thought bvs was really fucking boring. I think that even if dc made an amazing oscar worthy super hero flick now (which i am in no way saying suicide squd is), folks would still complain
I also love prometheus, does it have a ton of problems? Yeah, but i loved the deep dive into alien lore, and the fantastic atmosphere, fassbender killed it imo and it had neat creature design.

I thought Ghost in the Shell was pretty damn awesome.
I mean, it's an Anime adaptation movie that is actually decent. It could have been Dragonball Evolution, or The Last Airbender, but it was far from either of those.
My gripe with Jurassic World was actually with the leading female who was directly responsible for so many deaths that I kept expecting her to die early on in the movie. Instead she just became a comic relief. The babysitter was just the icing on the cake.

Spiderman 3
Jurassic Park 3
Alien 3
I'm fully aware of the flaws in each of these films, and it's the reason why I'm drawn to them so much I like the groundwork they have, just bad direction, studio interference, and a sub par writing really prevented these films from becoming masterpieces, I like them for their potential. They had their lows but their highs were ridiculously high imo.

Same here, although not quite medieval I have a soft spot for Troy and Alexander although they could be better I like them for what they are.

I will back you up on Alien 3, the rest you're on your own
Wait, people actually hate Rush Hour 2? I thought everyone hated 3 (which I like)?
Honestly, I'll watch both whenever I can when they pop up on TNT, HBO, etc. Alexander was a bit rougher around the edges imo, but both I just find to be good fun.

Here is my monthly "The Village is a beautiful amazing film" post.

Ridley Scotts 'Legend'
People discount it as some low rent fantasy film, but I personally adore it. From the art design, stage craft, aesthetic. It hits this beautiful sense of old age fantasy that isn't overly ornate like Peter Jackson's vision. It also has a simple sense of heart that I love. Also the music. The non directors cut with Tangerine Dreams score is perfect. And this is isnt even touching on Tim Currys brilliant
depiction of Evil.

This is about as thread/ as it gets. Anyone who hates Spring Breakers is no friend of mine.

Oh man I used to be so hyped for this one. I followed the movie ever since the rumors sprang up 6-7 years ago that Legendary got the rights to the movie. I used to like the movie a lot but every time I watch it the dialogue and characters just get worse. The super dark Blu-Ray transfer doesn't help the amazing visuals, which kinda sucks the fun out of the few great parts of the movie. Props to Edwards for at least giving us some awesome shots and some decent monster action.
Anyways, I liked Jurassic World. It was a fun movie that I think is mostly harmless. I kinda get why others don't like it but I just don't share their opinion. I really wished they used animatronics though, they're pretty sweet.

Chronicles of Riddick. It's a big dumb fiasco, and it's not as good as Pitch Black, but I like it. Riddick 3 can still fuck off into space.
We had a thread about it a while back and I was shocked to see how many people hated it.
One of the funniest movies ever IMO.

Why don't people like Cable Guy????
It's such an awesome dark comedy. The karaoke scene, salt peanuts in the bathroom, the iconic CABLE GUUUUUUUUUUUY.
Please someone explain to me.
I'm so sorry for you.
What a terrible curse you have being born without a sense of humor.

My kids and I saw Pixels at the dollar theater and we enjoyed it, none of us understood the hate. They got it for me on blu-ray as a gift.

I think the consensus is that Watchmen is one of the best comic-book to film adaptations.

This reminds me of another one: I think Crash is a legitimately great movie and I don't think the Oscar was undeserved. I can see the argument for it having hamfisted writing that fails to have a message deeper than "racism is bad," but idk, something about it just really clicked for me on a deeply emotional level. It remains the only film to have made me cry.
