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.

If you ignore the leads Valerian was an incredible set.

Joker: Folie à Deux

If you’re not a Joker fanboy and have an open mind, this is a damn good film.

Lady in the Water by M. Night. I think its an amazingly crafted fairy tale.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Upvoting you out of sheer respect, but wow I can't believe there is someone out there that enjoyed that hot garbage.

The original super Mario bros movie from the 90s. If I come across it I always get the urge to watch it. Its so weird and interesting, love it. Noone in my family will watch it though they hate it :(

Cats (2019). The story is good, the music is good, the casting is good. People made it a huge meme cause of the CGI, but even that is pretty well done. It has a beautiful story, and if you're a pet lover like me, it really makes you emotional. Its also fucking insane. The entire time you watch it, you just go "people spent years of their life and millions to make this". Its a very surreal experience. I've also haven't met a person who has watched the movie and didn't like it.

To be fair, I haven't met anyone who has watched the movie

You asked for one, but I've got two hills to die on, sorry.

  1. Solo: A Star Wars Story was a lot of fun and I thought it was a solid entry. I didn't really like the Sequels or Prequels, but Rogue One and Solo both stuck out as good titles to me.

  2. Lightyear was a good movie. I really enjoyed it and didn't really understand why it got so much flak.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

Solo was great. Haters will always find flaws.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Lightyear was great.

I liked Madame Web.

I know in most places online that’s tantamount to saying you enjoy being mean to puppies & kittens, but I enjoyed the movie.

Why? Because of the precognition plot element. Was it as smooth & impressive as Knives Out? No, but I’m still glad I watched it.

“Freddy Got Fingered”. Not a masterpiece but I found it hilarious. Was surprised it was rated so low online 🤷‍♂️

Daddy, would you like some sausages?

I don't think I've seen it since in came out, in that era when Tom Green was at the too of his career and i was a teenager. I'm curious how it holds up now, but I have a feeling that I won't enjoy it anymore.

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

You gotta like dumb humor, and I mean a step down from the Seth Rogan and friends type of movies lol.

If you don’t enjoy those, probably won’t enjoy FGF anymore.

i always thought the last jedi was one of the best star wars films

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I feel like it had good scenes but was a bad movie.
