The reverse of that post I've made a week ago...

Rules: pick one movie or series and explain why you actually enjoyed it despite the criticism.

For me: The JJ Abrams Star Trek movies, by far the best ST stuff ever made, I couldn't take seriously the original universe with the dated effects and stiff acting, same goes for NG... These movies did ST actually great looking and much more believable, not just the effects.

Hamlet 2 is genuinely hilarious, and I watch it far more often than I should.

The movie "Stay" got some really bad reviews. I was absolutely blown away by it and it is one of my favourite movies of all time.

The mid-2000s A-Team movie comes to mind. It was terrible. The casting was off and there was no real plot to speak of. However, it was so much over the top that it turned pretty funny actually. I probably won't be watching it a second time though.

Lots of people love to hate Cloud Atlas. I see it as flawed work of art with a good message and an amazing cast, produced under such nearly impossible circumstances that we are more than lucky it ever saw the light of day.

Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker is a great movie.

I don’t care what anyone else says. My son and I have rewatched the ST many times now. I really don’t see that much of a problem with the writing and direction of each film.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That movie was so stupid, awful, the blade thing is ridiculous...

Dude, you liked the JJ Abrams Star Trek movies. Your opinion truly does not matter.

It is ridiculous. But let’s remember that this universe is ridiculous too. People take their Star Wars a bit too seriously…

10,000 BC. Pretty sure it got a raspberry or whatever for being the worst movie.

I dont know why people think it needs to be historically accurate or believe, its an adventure movie.

Such a fun adventure.

The twilight movie series. I've watched the entire thing at least 3 times, still love it. Meme scenes aside, they're actually quite nice

Fired Up!

Was genuinely surprised to see it rated so low. I enjoyed it at least as much as Not Another Teen Movie. I appreciated all the fast quips and it being a satire of a cheerleader movie while simultaneously being a cheerleader movie.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

When people asky why I did cheerleading I always point them to that film.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

I also legitimately loved this movie. Wonderful balance of satire and comedy.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

Joker 2 is amazing

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 days ago

I personally liked Jamie Fox as Electro.

The trailer park boys movies.

Freddy Got Fingered! I laughed until my sides hurt. I don't even care for Tom Green's street material all that much, but that movie is hilarious and I will defend it.

It's batshit insane, the bits are infectious, and every scene is memorable as fuck. The soundtrack is insanely good as well. There's a theory that he didn't want to make this movie, and it's a giant middle finger to the studio. Not only do I believe this, but I think Tom Green really carried that bit all the way, making one of the most ridiculous comedies of all time.

I'm the backwards man!

I think it was ahead of its time.

I like Ad Astra. People hate it because they view it as a shitty scifi with lots of plot holes, but I view it from the perspective of brad pitt is actually in therapy in hypnosis or whatever to address the issues he has with his father, and the movie is really the journey through his mind and all the roadblocks and barriers he's built up internally. Then the plot holes seem reasonable and less relevant.
