That's quite a stretch there...

Quote: "If you actually saw the part, you would know why I mentioned it. It was hilarious."

Well, I went for fun and searched that part (altho it was pretty obvious what will happen) and... well... you know I got the same picture I got from Epic Movie, Disaster Movie and all that... but I don't want to go bashing only from that scene and if you like the movie then I don't want to bash it, as you have a right to your opinion. But don't tell me you prefer Meet the Spartans over 300

avatar totally ripped off ferngully alsong with countless other films, glad someone other than me sees that, its no stretch, a man goes into a civilisation of creatures in the forest before the humans destroy it all, that is the exact same plot for both films the difference being that ferngully was acctually good, and i don't get why people went nuts for the CGI i've genuinlly seen better in films from the students at VFS or in district 9, i hate avatar and will voice that opinion until the day i die
i like the film Romeo must die with Jet Lee but no one seems to have seen it, the only person i know to have seen it hates it for some reason

Avatar didn't put much imagination into the plot, as it's a fairly standard forbidden love story, which can be between 2 different families, 2 different classes, 2 different races or in the case of Avatar, 2 different humanoid species. Hence so many parallels can be drawn, like with Pocahontas.

Essentially all Avatar was, "ooh, look, pretty!" Not to say that it wasn't enjoyable, because I liked it.

No-one ever figured that out with Batman. I mean, Adam West was still 100% recognisable.

It is rather classy.

How about The Cable Guy? I really liked the movie, but I have heard tons of mixed reviews about it.

In response to the person who wonders why I disliked Avatar, here is why:

Avatar was completely written around special effects, namely 3D. The movie itself lacks from an in-depth plot, as the plot is relatively simple. It's the classic, "Dances With Wolves", yearning for acceptance type. The movie DID have amazing special effects, I can't lie and say it didn't, but the movie itself was nothing short of a re-write of a classic film, with some flashy effects. Many people were simply amazed by the special effects, thus they figured that it was the best movie. In all honesty, The Hurt Locker was 10x better, and that was a low-budget independent film, thus deserving the awards it got.

The film industry has taken a major downfall in the past couple years. It's gone from having in-depth stories that kept you entertained, to films that just try to get you wowed by the 3D. 3D is good, but when your entire film is based around it, it's not that great. I saw Toy Story 3 about a week or so ago, and it was AMAZINGLY good, much like the other films in the series. Honestly, I payed to see it in 3D, but it can be watched without 3D because it doesn't really utilize 3D all that much. (By 3D I don't mean 3D animation, I mean the special effect 3D.) It had a great story, very little 3D, perfect.

I just now realized I've had a typo in my signature for the past 3 years.

I think the simple story was good. It was simple, but... Carrie isn't very much more than Ugly Ducklin (or how you say it) story, but still I love that movei more than anything. I never saw movies, but I'll take Shadow of the Colossus now. It was a guy saving the love of his life, or in many times used in games; Princess. Very much like Zelda or Mario or alike, but it was a great game despite it. You see where I am going to?

And I think the 3D worked great with Avatar. The movie was great without it, but it was still a cool add. Now if I take the new Alice in Wonderland for another example. Yes, it was ok, but I think there, the movie was made around 3D. 3D is supposed to be a compliment to the movie, not other way around, wich I think Avatar did very great. But I am yet to see Toy Story 3...

Now I hope we can let this discussion about Avatar go and go on. You will see an update in my first post. If you've seen that movie, or other movies from the director, then I think you'll be amazed to see that it's there...

Zombie Strippers - A perfect example of a film that is so bad it's good. It actually reminded me of Planet Terror. Brilliant title.

Deathproof & Planet Terror - I like it when directors play around with things like these two and don't care what people think.

Darjeeling Ltd. - proof that my friends are dumbasses with no taste one of my favourite films.

I'm not sure if this is an unliked film but I'm becoming a fanatical Escape From New York fan. I have watched it a couple of times and like it more every time.

One I want to watch is Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus, it just looks brilliantly crap.

I am really picky with films but I like ones that are different even if they aren't that great. I hated Wanted, it was terrible and took itself way too seriously for all the crap it was spouting. Then take something like Zombie Strippers, just as terrible probably even worse but it was fun, I felt Wanted was pretentious.

Quote: "The whole album is perfect."

I rate Sound of White Noise as one of the 5 perfect albums ever recorded.

I disagree on the 3d bit I think Up was one of the best movies of the last 10 years, perhaps longer. Avatar for me was cool looking but I was not as blown away as when I first saw FF Spirits within (they were breaking new ground) Avatar was just built on the backs of others and had a huge budget to do so. The story was an amalgam of Dances with Wolves and Dune with bits of other movies lumped in.

I find watching Demolition Man now they were ahead of the curve, almost prophetic, with that story so many of the things in the movie have now happened or look to be in the midst of happening.

No one has correctly captured the batman universe. on the 1966 one im not even sure they have the right city, let alone the stealthiness or costumes, or personality, i can go on, really.

Yeah. Just wanted to take that example, as I saw this Left 4 Dead video, where this annoying kid says he loves Meet the Spartans, becouse it's hilarious, but 300 isn't good. But yeah, I was never a friend of those parody movies. My every friend here just hyped Epic Movie, said how great it is, but when I watched it... damn was it bad... in my opinion, you can like it if you want to.

Oh yeah and my opinion on Parody Movies, personally, is that some are funny but they can easily be screwed up, which sometimes happens, therefore I never pay to see one, but if I've seen one at, let's say a party, and I like it I might buy it.

And Avatar, I agree, It's like one of those games just made to show off the features of the new console that came out. Like those first Kinect Games? Total rub-ins. That's how I feel about Avatar.

I hate parody movies, except maybe, and a very very slim maybe, that I didn't hate SpaceBalls. I mean that movie has comedy royalty right through it, it's tough to hate.

My old boss would watch these parodies, and those horrible new 'dude' movies - like Dude wheres my car, American Pie 2,3,4,5+8 (first one was pretty good) - he probably loves hot tub time machine. For me, I'd rather peel myself like a satsuma, than watch that stuff. My son watches those movies too, sometimes I have to re-program him with decent films before I can get any sense out of him. Clockwork Orange usually brings him round.

I think that happens 90.9% times. But I like Hot Shots! Truly a great movie! And I kinda liked Superbad too, but not that much, that I think it would be a masterpiece. And I didn't know, that Avatar had so many haters... Sure it was overhyped, but it wasn't as horrible as peole here make it... I think it's overrated, but it's still a good movie. I don't think, it's like the best movie ever, that some people say it is, but it's not that bad as people here make it out to be. I don't think it was just to show off, what the invention of... well... nothing. Television? What are you referring to? But anyhow, I think, that there went some thinking into that movie, that it wasn't like: Hey bob, let's make movie. - Ok, what's the idea? - Effects... - ok, sounds cool.
Becouse it happens to have better effects than any other movie (altho I think nothing can beat the T-Rex from Jurassic Park), doesen't mean it was just some effect test. Would it be better with worse effects? No, but I think, that some people would not come saying, that it was just created to show how good graphics a movie can have.

I agree with you here. I enjoyed watching it, but it wasn't for the story.

Wasn't it the first movie to have the new polarized 3d stuff in it? I though they made the first 3d camera specifically for this film.

Well, I didn't look too much into it, but maby... But I still think there went more thinking in the movie. And I like it asit's the "two worlds collide" as I explained at the page 2 (for 40 pagers). I never saw Batman and Robin, but I think I should. I've watched Batman Begins, Dark Knight and Batman and Joker. Atleast tehy called it that in finland. They were great movies, and I love the cartoon show! Makes me get up earlier every sunday! So, so far, I haven't seen a bad Batman movie...

I love the following movies. Like, love love love, watch twice in a row good.
- The Dark Knight
- Pulp Fiction
- District 9
- Inglourious Basterds
- 300
- Hot Rod
- Anchorman / Step Brothers


And I don't know why everybody hated Avatar, I thought it was freaking amazing. The CGI of course was amazing, but I thoroughly enjoyed the story. Yes, it was predictable, but I don't need to always be surprised when I go to see a movie. I thought that movie hit all the right places on the way to the end.

That said, here is my second list.

Movies I hate that everybody else loves:
- Zombieland
- Zombieland
- Zombieland

I should watch it... to know, you know? And I don't think that it was bad in a "OH GOD THIS SUCKS!" way. It was very annoying in my opinion. I felt angry (not in the good way) towards all the characters in that movie! Just... many of them were very dumb, and when I think, that he is gonna kill the boy, then oh god, the goddamn police, or whatever, pops out... funny how in horror and action movies, goverment is never doing anything good for the society...

My old boss would watch these parodies, and those horrible new 'dude' movies - like Dude wheres my car, American Pie 2,3,4,5+8 (first one was pretty good) - he probably loves hot tub time machine. For me, I'd rather peel myself like a satsuma, than watch that stuff. My son watches those movies too, sometimes I have to re-program him with decent films before I can get any sense out of him. Clockwork Orange usually brings him round."


Well, if you ask me, I love those kind of movies. Except for the modern ones. I love Mel Brooks' movies, Leslie Nielsen movies, Airplane! etc. But yeah, the modern ones are awful. American Pie, Scary Movie - wtf?
(And I will not judge Meet The Spartans. I had a quite good laugh out of it, but I've watched it right after seeing 300 and from what I remember, I'm not sure if it would be so funny if I was watching it the other time)...

Make games, not war.

Yeah, the older ones, like Airplane! and Hot Shots (don't know how old it is, but seems old...) and so on. But the new ones... god, why? Movies can be very entertaining, movies are art, and you see movies, like Dark Knight, Carrie and other great movies, and next to them, lying on teh shelf could be something like Epic Movie. And it might be the most rented/bought movie in the place, becouse nowdays, mindless stupidity sells... I heard that Uwe Boll gets money, if his movies are bad, and that... is another story...

Gencheff, I don't think you get the point of this thread. This is movies everyone hates but you. Not movies everyone seems to like but you. And anyway, Batman, whichever one, has no appeal to me except for the fact that the 1966 Batman has a few laughs, purely because it is so stupid:

"Oh no! An exploding man eating shark! Robin, hand me the man eating shark repellent!"

*Gives him repellent*
*Sprays*
*Shark falls*
*I laugh my brains out*

The whole Batman concept or some certain movie or what? You can't genereally hate Batman, that would be against the law. And it seems you got this thread wrong. Movies that everyone hates but YOU LIKE.

Stephen King movies are a strange one, I find it hard to dislike any Stephen King movie, but find a lot of people who detest them...

Carrie is awesome, I much prefer the original but I agree that the remake is a good effort, didn't go all high-school-musical on us even though they could have.

Christine, IT, Pet Semetery, Thinner, Green Mile, Shawshank, Needful Things... There hasn't been a Stephen King movie that I wouldn't watch - yet a lot of the time people look down their noses. I'd take any King movie over Jeepers Creepers, that's for sure. And Thinner has the hottest gypsy woman in any movie, ever. Green Mile and Shawshank could well be the 2 best prison movies ever made. IT is just epic, I'm not even gonna go into all the flavors of awesome that movie is. Stephen King wrote The Running Man as well, although the movie is a retarded bastardisation of his original, dark and bleak story - it's actually a pretty brilliantly executed vision of a miserable, downtrodden and believable future.

I don't trust people who don't like Stephen King. It's the same with people who look down at Terry Pratchet books, accept it for what it is and stop being such a bloody critic. That sort of snobbery annoys me; people should hate things for the right reasons, at least in my messed up little world .

Yeah, Stephen King movies tend to be very nice. I liked Dreamcatcher, but I know many people that don't, for some reason. Yeah, it wasn't so great than other Stephen King movies, but it was real good in my opinion. And I just loved 1408! That was an amazing movie. It was clever, scary, and even funny. It didn't go all trying to scare with gore, and that's what I liked about it. IT was a scary as hell movie when I saw IT (get it?) the first time. Not so scary anymore thou. It was good, very good, but there is alot of stuff that could have been improved in IT. (get it again?) The Mist was a great movie in my opinion, but many people bash it too... And, as you all know, Carrie was awesome. But one thing bothers me... why? OK WHY!? Why make a sequel? It was a perfect circle on it's own, and they need to make that circle into some... cloud shape or something... Now it's just a half circle, but a great half circle it is... And I prefer the original too, but I think the 2002 version was a great one too, except the ending, but that was for a reason. They were going to make some kinda TV show out of it, but it never came happened, as far as I know. Maby that's a good thing, so that they wont go touching the circle again... :-P And I liked Jeepers Creepers. And this puzzles me... there is tons of movies made out of the books of Stephen King, and they are great, but why isn't any director interested in H.P Lovecraft? Cthulhu mythology would make a great movie! Got that in mind, becouse H.P was inspiration for S.K ( S.K= Stephen King OR! S.K= Sakke Korpela! Coincidence? I think not!)
