As a non-fan, I thought the JJ Abrams Star Trek movies were well received. All the casual trek fans around me seemed to like them, at least

Batman v Superman and Justice League (I didn't watch original versions though).

The Postman. Compared to other post apocalyptic cheese fests it feels like a more nuanced display of societal breakdown and the re-emergence of the barter economy.

Super Mario Bros. with Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo. I don't care how bad it is. It's in the campy so-bad it's good pool of movies and nothing anyone says can change my mind. The fact that they were drunk off their asses just makes it even funnier in my opinion.
I saw that shit in theaters. Also Final Fantasy Spirits Within.
Neither time did I fully comprehend what I had just witnessed.
Specifically because the directors had no idea what they were doing, the whole thing ended up being wildly creative. I've always unironically enjoyed it.

I really like Alien: Covenant.
Micheal Fassbender is fantastic in that movie.
Awesome cinematography, awesome vibe, awesome creatures and Aliens, and a fantastic ending.\
It’s my second favorite Alien movie.
Okay, thanks to that statement the flamethrowers are gonna come out; let me explain:
- Alien is a nigh untouchable masterpiece.
- Alien: Covenant
- Aliens is a good movie. I don’t quiet like it as much as an Alien-Movie and also am generally not that big of a fan as quite a lot of people seem to be.
- Alien Romulus. Okay, nice movie I guess. The are some plot holes like: How do they know Ridley threw the Xenomorph out of the airlock? She is still in Cryosleep. But generally quite enjoyable. Jumping Facehuggers are a nice touch.
- Prometheus. I also don’t dislike this one. Even though they got lost in the weeds on this one a bit.
- ……
- ……
- ……
- Alien 3: Bad.
- Alien Resurrection: Utter Garbag.
Add Alien vs Predator to the list
I personally haven’t watched those movies. Maybe someone in this thread has watched them and befitting this thread likes them?

Waterworld and Robin Hood Prince of Thieves.
Waterworld is ocean Fallout and RHPoT is fucking meme central. Plus RH is my childhood nostalgia movie, I've probably watched it over a couple hundred times just on VHS.
I grew up with Men in Tights. My room mate grew up with Spaceballs. It was really fun to swap movies and show each other another Mel Brooks movie.
(If you dont treat those titles and movies, that sentence has a very different meaning)
Both feature Kevin Costner's ass
Waterworld is Mad Max on a boat
The pitch was probably something like "What if Mad Max but instead of sand we have water?" And the producer guy would be something like "Will the people still be dirty even with all that water?" And the screen writer guy: "Wouldn't be an post apocalyptic world if the people is not dirty"
In this thread: I'm mostly finding people I feel I need to add to my "no longer like them" list for irreconcilable differences.
I'm having a hard time deciding what qualifies as "HATED" or highly disliked.
A lot of people hated Edge of Tomorrow because Tom Cruise. But I am actually quite fond of the movie.
A lot of people hate Apocolypto, and it's objectively a terrible movie from a historical as well as moral/ethical perspective, I don't disagree there. But at the end of the day it is entertaining if you can turn your brain off.

Not sure if it was HATED, but Hook if we're going by reviews. I can't imagine any kid seeing that movie and not loving it though.

I honestly thought Morbius was a breath of fresh air for ditching the "Self-aware, meta, woke!" trends that MCU was chasing and just told a dark transhumanist story with super heroish themes.
Like I'd rather watch Morbius again than most of the MCU films made Post-End Game.
And Warcraft really wasn't a bad movie at all, it was just bitten by the "Anything that is in the Fantasy Genre is automatically a LOTR ripoff!" bug that had been going around for awhile.
If it had came out around the time when audiences stopped caring about what critics think (Sonic's 2020 film seems to be where that started), it would have done a lot better (Sonic leading the way for video game movies being taken seriously also would have helped)...
Hell if Warcraft (2016) had come out in 2020, that would have been after Blizzard's fall from grace ("Don't you guys have phones? No? Time to shit all over the WoW lore and ruin Overwatch then!"), meaning that people would probably
Finally, I'm still firmly in the camp that in 10 years people will come around on the sequels like they did for the prequels (Last Jedi might still be considered the "Not as good" one admittedly). I can't say the same about the various "Franchise fatigue? What's that?" shows that Disney ~~kept~~ keeps greenlighting though.
"Alcolyte was a good show, but no one saw it? Damn, time to release Skeleton Crew I guess!"
Man, I'm so sad about the warcraft movie.. partly because I agree with you and I think it was pretty good and it deserved sequels but also partly because it feels like it could've been better? Felt a bit hard to follow at times, and I remember reading some of Duncan Jones' tweets that implied the final cut wasn't his decision and that there was quite a bit of footage left out. Shame... They should try a tv series.
