Rebel Moon. I watched it on Netflix and was like, welp, so much for Star Wars, they might as well hang it up bc they can’t compete with this. So I immediately go online and learn everyone HATES it.
I must be the only one with good taste
Is that the one where the moon opens up and attacks us? I might be getting movies confused. I think I remember a pitch meeting video on it
Other peoples opionions of stuff I enjoy does not effect my enjoyment.
Core. It’s dumb fun but I watched it as a teen and thought it was ok. Fast forward to finding out that it was hated by both movie critics and the scientific community…
I always loved the Parker/Stone retelling
Waterworld is one of my favourite movies.
… did it get a bad rating?
I thought it was decent
A lot of people, including Kevin Costner think it’s a bad movie, I think it’s awesome.
I love Waterworld. It’s a classic. PPPPPPPPAPER.
In The Grey. Thought it was a great movie I was engaged the whole time. I check reviews and it is apparently terrible.
From my first viewing in the theatre in 2013 in Singapore until this very second I really like the first Pacific Rim. It could have been really really bad but in the end it’s a movie with heart and you root for the characters. The CG is exceptional and the Robots and Monsters move extraordinarily well!
Nobody doesn’t at least like Pacific Rim. No, you too at least like Pacific Rim, person who is about to Um Ackchually me, you’re just in denial.
I wasn’t aware the first one was hated. The second one is a whole other story though
It’s a bit dated now, but if you like mech piloted fighting, check out this movie called ‘Robot Jox’. People shit on it but it’s a classic imo. I believe it’s free to watch on Tubi rn.
I usually have it the other way around. I’ll watch something, think it’s bad only to discover it has 90% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Yea that was me and Everything everywhere all at once
That movie was so boring. It’s like Hollywood was trying to spoof multiverse movies, but every where I look was people speaking highly of it. Waste of time more like it.
I literally walked out of the theater like half way through.
Yeah Rotten Tomatoes is a shit show now
And it’s impossible to know if they’re artificial or if people actually like garbage.
I find fandoms on reddit to be a decent gauge. I’ve been in one that was torn in half after the final season. It was hot garbage, but IMDB would make you believe it was actually good. Rotten Tomatoes was also more realistic. I guess good thing IMDB locked reading reviews behind login. I’m not tempted to waste my time on it anymore.
Yes, that’s the other problem. Luckily I’m sailing the high seas so I don’t waste money.
Me with Iron Lung
What’s worse is watching a movie years after release, liking it and wondering why there is no sequel. Only to find out one person involved raped everybody.
Holy what now ?
For me it was people shitting on TRON:Legacy. I saw it opening weekend in 3D by myself. Fucking loved it. Saw it a second time the following weekend with my gf at the time. She was indifferent to it. I still loved it. Then other people would bash it and even The Big Bang Theory jumped on the tron bashing bandwagon. As far as I care, everyone else is wrong, that movie was amazing for a reboot.
That movie was amazing. And even if you don’t like the movie itself you’d have to admit the music is one of the best soundtracks ever made for a movie.
We can disagree on the movie rating, but you’re right that the soundtrack is amazing. It is something I still listen to today.
Happened to me after watching Thor 2 during covid. I enjoyed it. Looked it up afterwards and it was ranked the worst movie in the MCU up until that point.
That’s why I ignore any sort of reviews when deciding what I should watch. If something looks interesting, I give it a try. I’m not going to let a bunch of miserable assholes who think hating something makes them interesting decide what I get to enjoy.
Also not every movie needs to be a masterpiece. Some movies need to be the Sunday morning hangover movies. I’m not going to watch Interstellar on a Sunday morning when hungover, I’m going to watch Transformers because I know I can shut off my brain and go “big explosion cool”.
I’m usually deciding by first thing in order that allows me to:
- description, tags, and whatever I see on the streaming / store / database website; works 90% of the time for stuff I won’t like (1 of 10 I like something I didn’t think I would) and 70% for stuff I will like (3 of 10 I don’t like something I thought I would)
- opinion of people I know - that can be a reviewer I’ve been watching for some time or a friend
- comments to get some random details (some would consider them spoilers, my shite memory does not)
- opinion of people I don’t know - reviews, average rating
- coin toss
I sometimes change my decision after seeing a random clip
What was the time travel one that people said was confusing? Because I enjoyed that and thought it was good, just to find out apparently people hated it
If you’re talking about Tenet, people didn’t find it confusing because backwards moving time is confusing. They found it confusing cause 90% of the movie is overexplaining the concept through unintelligible dialogue, using a menagerie of unnamed characters in unexplained settings to deliver said dialogue.
That movie solidified in my mind that Nolan has surrounded himself with yes men and has lost the touch. A warning I should’ve heeded before I wasted my time on Oppenheimer
As others have said, you’re probably thinking of Tenet. I watched it and by the ending I was a bit confused but thought the point of the movie was to be confused on the first watch and the second watch will explain a lot more. NOPE. I watched it again within a week and nothing that is explained in the first half holds up in the second half. They explained the rules and then ignored them to push the plot along. Great idea, very bad execution though.
Tenet?
I also didn’t think it was that confusing. It was at first, while it was meant to be, but it explained enough that I could understand roughly what went on by the end. Maybe people don’t like not understanding everything perfectly. Though I also don’t remember people hating it, so maybe different movie.
My dad loved it and I liked it quite a bit. It’s not flawless, for example the depth and characters were a bit lacking, but that also made it kinda really fun and just cool
Tenet? If it is that one, I also enjoyed it
My relationship with Morbius.
Sure, the acting and dialogue is bum, but the story, pacing, etc isn’t that bad.
CGI, while not great by any means, does it’s job.
I’d give it a solid 6/10 rather than the absolutely abysmall ratings given to it officially.
My experience with watching the movie was seeing it streamed on Twitch shortly after release, chroma-keyed just slightly so that anything blue-ish instead showed an endless loop of Milo’s ridiculous sex dance. I think it was the streamer’s attempt to bypass automatic DMCA protections.
This went on almost 24/7 for about a week or so. Every time the account got banned, a new one would pop up a couple hours later. I must have watched the full movie this way 8 times or so. It was magical.
I don’t care what others think. If I like it, I like it. Nobody else’s opinion is going to matter to me.
Liking something doesn’t qualify if it’s bad.
For me that movie was Gentlemen Broncos. It’s one of my favourite movies of all time. I think it’s hilarious, clever and imaginative. I adore the bizarre characters and I love watching all the different interpretations of the sci-fi story the protagonist wrote. Online reviews consider it average at best and the humour juvenile.
