The Star Wars prequels. Revenge of the Sith in particular is an underrated gem that got smeared by the Red Letter Media videos. Ep 3 is better than The Force Awakens for me.

People hate interstellar? Except for the love crap, it's pretty solid.

Not really a hated movie, but I think the Hatefull 8 is Tarantino's second best movie (the best being Pulp Fiction). The buzz seemed to die pretty quickly on that one.

Spring Breakers is awesome

TFA is great, the hate for it is irrational

 

[Reeks]

I admittedly haven't seen in years but I loved Repo The Genetic Opera when it came out originally.

Still love this.

i thought drive was generally well regarded?

I don't know, i kinda feel people aren't very receptive to its style but that's the only example i can find. I haven't watched most of the movies being posted.

Revenge of the Sith was the worst Star Wars movie long before anyone had ever heard of those hack frauds.

Get new friends and family. How can you hate Troma?

I know right?

Sleeze, gore and shit. What more do you want?

Battleship is cool as hell. And it had Thunderstruck playing while they set up a museum to be a fighting machine again. It has the museum doing a Toyko drift before blasting the fuck out of aliens and it had Liam Neeson.

Battleship is actually the most subversive piece of big budget filmmaking since Starship Troopers.

And my pick isThe Huntsman: Winters War. The fact that people think fondly of the likes of Krull and Hawk the Slayer but turn their noses up at this is ridiculous.

 

[Theecliff]

jurassic world was a fairly entertaining - if not mostly mediocre - blockbuster. i was genuinely surprised to see how many people completely despised it on this forum.

People hate interstellar?

I find out new things everyday.

Cable Guy - comedy genius

People in the know love the Cable Guy, there's even a meta commentary on the state of 24 hour news cycles.

Super Mario Bros The Movie

Because I literally can't fathom what an actual Mario film would have, I can't really complain about the Mario Bros movie.
Plus I have a soft spot 'Walk the Dinosaur' and frankly the 'Bros' weren't the worst casting.

 

[Data West]

Ready To Rumble

 

[RMI]

I liked BvS and Dark Knight Rises.

Hellboy 2 was a good time, also.

Cable Guy - comedy genius

Love this movie.

 

[EdibleKnife]

This too. Train chase in particular is an underrated masterful action set piece

 

[Strax]

Am I misunderstanding the thread because it seems like over half the films named both made money and (mostly) well reviewed.

Dark Knight Rises
Jurassic World
Skyfall
Jumanji
Interstellar
Independence Day
Spider-Man 3
Star Trek Beyond
The Mummy Returns
BTTF 3
The Adventures of Tintin
AI: Artificial Intelligence
Munich
War of the Worlds
etc

These movies are not hated by most people even though posters on GAF dislike them

The Village.

I love the tone of the movie. One of my favorites.

Oh yeah. Not a big fan of the movie but i really like the idea of the twist behind it.

 

[Malreyn]

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

Everyone I've talked to about this movie hated it.

The Dead or Alive movie is apparently awful but I thought it was cool. Same with the Prince of Persia movie. And the Ratchet and Clank movie.
I think I might be quite forgiving of game movies from IPs I like as long as they don't do something ridiculous that feels untrue to the spirit of the game franchise.

War Of The Worlds (2005.)

Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions.

The Last Action Hero

TDKR (I think it's better than TDK)

This used to be Revenge of the Sith for me. It still kinda falls into that camp but it has a lot of issues and I totally see why people feel the way they do about it. I feel similarly about Batman vs. Superman and Star Trek: Into Darkness.

Others....hm, I thought Chappie was solid. I actually think the first The Amazing Spider-Man movie is pretty great, whereas the second one falls into the aforementioned "great but full of issues and I totally get peoples' problems with them," category. Spider-Man 3 used to be this for me but the last time I watched it I realized it was totally mediocre (though still not really much worse than 1 and 2 which I don't think are that great now). Avatar definitely, people these days underrate how much of a visually stunning and well-directed that movie is. American Ultra is pretty good, I don't think the reception was that bad but I thought it was pretty damn underrated.

Prometheus was....fine. Like I wouldn't but it into the top category if only because I don't think it was totally flawed, but while I don't think it was great, I enjoyed watching it and I don't really get the hate at all.

Probably a bunch of random comedies I grew up with are also this. "Daddy Day Care," is still memorable to me for some reason.

Dark Knight Rises and Interstellar aren't really unpopular movies, they just have a vocal hatedom I feel like. For what it's worth I think both movies are fine but also proof of why Nolan isn't some sort of directorial god people think he is. Star Trek Beyond definitely isn't this, most people seem to like that one, it's just that it didn't do super well at the box office iirc.

Rubber is a good, fun movie

some people you know not liking certain movies isn't the basis of whether or not they're popular in general. if we're going off purely anecdotal evidence then you could literally post any film in this thread on that technicality

which leads me to ask, what's with all the drive mentions? has the general zeitgeist surrounding the film completely changed all of a sudden? i know there's a few memes about the film but i'm not sure that translates to outright hate. it was very well liked by critics and has similarly high audience scores.

I may keep editing it as people keep reminding me of stuff.

I don't think people actually hate Interstellar. That's a pretty massively popular movie.

Hell I don't think people hate The Dark Knight Rises either.

 

[axisofweevils]

Spring Breakers is a great film and yes I will fight you over this.

Definitely agree. Film was awesome.

 

[wetwired]

Hulk (2003)

I thought the character of the Hulk was a stupid chareacter before this, a hunk of muscle with no depth. This movie changed my opinion of what Hulk could be. (plus it had some cool action)

 

[The Jackdog]

Tom Cruise movies.

Idk why I always hear groans when tom cruise movies have a trailer or thread. The guy makes fun movies.

I dig the hell out of oblivion. Mission impossible is somehow still good. I'm somehow pumped for the mummy.

 

[2Smashed4U]

Not a big Kevin Smith fan, but I love "Zack and Miri Make a Porno". I think it's his best movie and seen it countless times.

That movie is funny as shit. I also had no idea it was a Kevin Smith movie.

Iron Man 2 is one of my favourite marvel movies, I don't think people really hate it but I've always been surprised how much people seem to dislike it.

 

[p_xavier]

Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999) is the funniest movie that nobody enjoyed.

 

[IronRaven]

Batman v Superman

I enjoyed it. I guess because of all the low score reviews and negative press about it, I went into the theater with super low expectations. Walked out having enjoyed it. I don't LOVE the movie, but it's not nearly as bad as people were making it out to be. People made the movie sound like it was the worst movie ever made.

Spoiler

The warehouse fight scene with Batman was practically worth the price of admission alone. It reminded me so much of the Batman Arkham games.

 

[El-Suave]

I love "Shoot 'em Up" very much and I don't get how some people can hate it with a passion.

Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999) is the funniest movie that nobody enjoyed.

Loved that one, too. Too bad I can't find it in HD anywhere. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.

Many of them are very popular movies and liked by many. Some of them reviewed well too.

 

[hey_monkey]

I thought people liked it? I'm with you...love it!


My pick: The Village

We are best movie friends forever because I also like The Village.

 

[old manatee]

This came out after Mel went crazy, and I was honestly convinced that Mel Gibson himself had started talking through a beaver puppet and they just made a movie around his delusion. It's not a good movie, but even just the trailer took me for a ride.

 

[2Smashed4U]

Do you know any people in general then or...?

Because you're very wrong lmao. The Dark Knight Rises wasn't popular? A new Jurassic Park movie? Cmon man

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace

I don't mind the whole trade disputes plot, and the acting was pretty good (Neeson and McGregor especially) even if the lines weren't. It's a laid-back film before everything goes crazy in the rest of the series. The Old Republic is still around, there's no full-fledged war, and you see how things worked a good decade or so before the Clone Wars. It was also shot on film so it has a slightly warmer look than the two 21st century Star Wars films from George Lucas. The final lightsaber duel with Darth Maul is my favourite in the entire saga.

However, Jar Jar was still irredeemably annoying. Didn't ruin the film for me though.

I also like parts of III, but II just felt like filler.

The Star Wars prequels. Revenge of the Sith in particular is an underrated gem that got smeared by the Red Letter Media videos. Ep 3 is better than The Force Awakens for me.

Episode III had some great moments. It was an enjoyable film too. Didn't like it as much as TFA but I'm with you, it's a good film overall.
