So yeah, the title pretty much says what this thread is about. There is alot of movies that are very much hated and got bad reviews. So I am gonna list a few of them and hope to see your opinions. So let's start:
Godzilla (1998 American Version)
Being a huge Godzilla fan, it would make sense for me to hate this. The Godzilla looks nothing like Godzilla and the Godzilla's babies are like the raptors from Jurassic Park. There is other stuff too but they are just some minor stuff. Well I don't like it as a Godzilla film, but I do like it as a general monster movie. It's not godzilla, but it entertains me. Ofcourse it doesen't compete with the original bigger, fire breathing kick ass Godzilla, but it's an entertaining monster movie. But the mistake is, that they slapped the name Godzilla in it.
Transformers (from Michael Bay)
Now I don't know what is so bad about this movie, but many people seem to hate it (yes, the second one too). It got big robots fighting, big battles, shooting, explosions and all that stuff. What's so wrong about it? It's an action movie by Michael Bay, what were you expecting, the reason of life? It's an awesome action movie. The effects are good, there is tons of action and not a single ugly woman on the screen. This all applies to the
Revenge of the Fallen too.
Hulk (2003 one)
What a shocker! Someone likes this movie! Well I do. I can't really explain why, but for some reason I do. I saw it as a small kid the first time and liked it then. I saw it recently again and... it was good. Not as great as I remember, but pretty good. Yes I like the new one too, but for some reason, I like this one better. Not really sure myself why, but I do. Sure the effects are quite bad and there is not as much fights as in hte newer one, but still. It's good. You can all disagree, but I like this movie and am very proud of it!
Land of the Dead
No need to put any info up there, bacouse everyone knows this one. Where ever I go and see videos about this movie or some other talk about it, the running theme seems to be it sucks. I don't know why. I think it's an entertaining zombie movie. It got it's creepy parts, cool action-y parts and generally good parts. I especially like the scene when they come out from the water. That was kinda creepy for me and I... well don't like beaches and that didn't make it any better. Sure it's not as scary as the cave scene from
Day of the Dead or so, but it was still very good. It's not as good as the older ones (
Night, Dawn, Day), but even you can agree that it beat
Diary of the Dead's (wich I kinda like, but not that much) and
Day of the Dead remake's (just plain horrible) ass.
House of the Dead
Whaaaa!? How?? Well hear me first before you start saying anything! This movie is horrible! It's awful, it's stupid, it's... everything possible!!! But why is it here? Well, it's so bad nad stupid that it's acually pretty good. Don't understnad? It's like putting Good---Bad and under the bad, you put another Good---Bad meter... And it goes on the good there. It's so bad... But! Why think it's so bad that it's actually good is, becouse it's so dumb! It's so stupid, that you just can't help but lauhging... and becouse it's so stupid it makes me laugh, I actually am entertained. It makes me laugh! I mean... I didn't think
Alone in the Dark was as bad as this... but it was bad. Just bad... no, it wasn't funny stupid, it was just bad... that's why I like this more than Alone in the Dark... this was just too dumb...
Alien vs. Predator (1&2)
The same case with
Transformers. They are both hated, but the second more than first. But enough from that. The first:
It was an ok movie. It was no masterpiece, but it has Aliens and Predators fighting eachother! I think that the fact that the places are constantly changing made it even more exciting (altho the movie wasn't THAT exciting). It was good, but not that rememorable. I like it thou. It can't top the original
Aliens and
Predator movies, but it was still quite fun to watch. And I like that they did as much as they can without computer. I especially like the part where the whole place starts to collapse. And then the second;
This movie was good, but I hate one thing more than anything else in it: The goddamn teenagers!!! Why? Why do teenagers need to go into every horror movie out there? And not only that, most of them were very annoying! Not as annoying as the god awful teens in
[REC] 2, but still. Other than that fact, the movie was really good. The Predator was cool, just fighting off the Aliens, it was very superior to them in this movie. Altho I propably like aliens more than Predator, but in this one, the Predator kicked the Alien's ass! Altho I like how the aliens killed almost all the teens... But it was really cool. I like the Predalien, wich was like the connection to the first movie. The effects were once again great, but I think I liked the first one better. Propably becouse.... you quessed it! The god damn annoying teens!
Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Again, I like this movie, altho the 1st one is far superior to it, but this was good in my opinion. The effects were good, the action was ok and the story was enough good to keep me watching. Yes, it could have been done better, but it's good as it is now. If you liked the first one, you will maby like this one too. Maby! As the first one is many times better than this. But I didn't like the whole wedding propblem thing going on, as it just... it just didn't work for me. The movie could have done without all that going on. That was propably the only thing that annoyed me in this. The rest is fine. It's not great, but it's not bad eather.
The Giant Claw
Oh, the infamous Giant Claw with it's stupid looking monster, bad effects and stock footage! It's just too lovable! It's funny, it's weird, it's stupid, it FRIGGIN AWESOME! A giant bird from outer space, wiht an invisible power shield... doesen't sound bad to me. Seriously, this is an awesome movie, and I recommend everyone to watch it, just becouse it's supposed to be taken seriously, when it's... well, like it is. Just googel it, and look at any picture you see the bird in. Hilarious, but cool. Thank lord for small budgets!
Those were the ones I can remember right now, I will update when time goes by
Post and tell me what you think!
