Have you ever watched a movie, liked it quite a bit, looked up reviews on MRQE, and found out that everybody else on the PLANET hates it? This happened to me with the Flintstones. Yes that's right, I like the Flintstones and I'm not ashamed to admit it! Well not much anyway. I can't see why everyone hates the Flintstones. To me it seemed full of Simpsonesque humour. Yeah, if the Simpsons ever did a parody of the Flintstones(10 years ago, they're crap now) I think it would be like this. Please tell me I'm not the only freak here. Please.

Oh yeah, there's always Jariten. Thank God for that.

Daredevil, The Hulk, and Matrix Revolutions are the first three that spring to mind. I still like Ben Affleck, I think he gets way too much flak, and can do just as well as any other pretty good actor in Hollywood today with a decent script. I loved the "blind vision" in it, it's almost exactly how I imagined something like the force would be, and it's really cool. I also think Farrell and Duncan are great, the action scenes were good, and it's a good story. I thought it was a darker, better version of Spiderman.

Hulk I thought was brilliant utilization of the split screen, along wtih a good story and very good performances. I also never once thought the Hulk himself looked fake (other than his transformation in his house after Talbot pisses him off), and was amazed at how good a job they did. It should have ended 20 minutes earlier than it did, and the ending is the weakest part, but it doesn't detract enough from what otherwise is a very good film, and a very good piece of filmmaking.

Matrix Revolutions I've discussed enough elsewhere, I liked it, end of story.

And I've never seen The Flintstones, so I couldn't tell you.

I like the 1993 film Super Mario Bros., even though I know it's not that good.

Natural Born Killers (directors Cut)
-Oliver stone masacred this tarenteno script. but as a movie... I think it rocks. Everyone else i know hates it.

Soldier/Event Horizon/Pitch Black
three films that were pretty much the only films of their kind being made at the time. Soldier was a movie that i though despite it's slow pace had a cool concept and kurt russle... i doubt anyone here liked it either... Event Horizon was horror movie in space, sci fi nerds were too traumatized by it or wanted to know why more time wasn't spent talking about the space-fold drive, and everyone else had forgotten what horror was thanks to ronald regan... Pitch black was sweet. It worked for me... all three of these films just had a certain something about them that made them appeal to me... the atmosphere, the desolation, the darkness...quite frankly everyone else who has a problem with this can go @#$% themselves!!!

Ok, I'll brave enought and admit that I like Dirty Dancing 2.

I love Diego Luna, he's like an every ugly teenage girl fantasy of a boyfriend

I love Romola Garai, for not being the standard skinny Hollywood skeleton

I love the cinematography

I love the music

The rest does not matter.

Maybe jariten's has poor managing skills when it comes to his priorities.

Optimus Prime's death was more touching than most deaths in live action films.

Useless trivia - the Transformers film actually started production much later than the production on the GI Joe film, but GI Joe: The Movie ran into a bunch of production hang ups that allowed the Transformers film to finish ahead of schedule.

How they got away with killing all those Autobots while none of the GI Joes get killed - at least on screen - is a mystery. Ironically, it was originally intended that the GI Joe character Duke die at the end of the GI Joe film, but because of the public backlash over the death of Optimus Prime (dunno know what they thought that would accomplish), they changed it to say Duke was just in a coma (his 3rd one I believe) - which sucked because Duke took a snake in the heart and well, just look at him at the end, the man was clearly dead!

Back to the topic, I did derive some strange sense of joy from watching the 2004 turkey Troy. Not much but a little.

G. I. Joe The Movie is probably one of my all time favorite movies. But it is top notch quality, something not many people want to agree with me on, so it doesn't fall into this category for me.

The reason so many Autobots and Decepticons either died or were turned into a new Transformer? I'd put it down to a blatant attempt to get kids to buy a whole new generation of toys. A similar thing happened with Pokemon. SNEAKY JAPANESE MARKETING BASTARDS. The Transformers TV show was never quite the same again. It did have its moments though. I personally quite like Rodimus Prime, even though everyone else seems to hate him. And the sparring between his alter ego Hot Rod and his pensioner friend Kup was great. But since they all live forever, unless they get struck down by an energy blast of course, how the hell can there be such a thing as a generation gap between different Transformers? Ah, who cares. Transformers ROCK! I'll even admit to a childhood crush on Arcee. If I had a Euro for every time I wished I could stick my dipstick into her penis insertion port, I'd be a rich man now I tell ye that.

I like Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey too. I'm sorry, but Death rocked. And the Bill and Ted robots freaked me out when they took off thier skin.
I finally got a sig!

Completely forgot about that, but yeah, I liked it too, as well as Bogus Journey. Never was too into Transformers, so i never saw it.
