:O No way. They were good but I found the new ones a lot more action packed and a lot more funny.
Most of the reason I liked it better was because Emma Stone was in it
Another movie that I don't necessarily hate, but disliked was Fargo. I don't know why it got all the praise it received. It felt like a bland movie to me.
Guess I shouldn't have put that up since I don't particularly dislike it. Some parts were obviously amazing like the ones with Samuel L. Jackson. The John Travolta parts kind of put me off for some reason. It's a good movie though I just wasn't able to like it as much as everyone else did.
I hated Tangled. Oh my god, something irked me about that movie. Maybe it was the fact that 17/18 year old Rapunzel and 30 something year old Eugene get together... Ugh. I didn't like it.
Avator...I saw it on standard DVD so whatever 3d IMax quality that made the movie great was missing from my viewing.
TASM...I liked the initial awkwardness of Garfield and Stone and some of the visuals were great, but it did not feel good to me. And I personally dislike Sam Reimi's version as well.
Never cared for Cap: the first avenger
The Hunger Games, both the books and movies are way overrated. A complete ripoff of Battle Royale imo.
The Amazing Spiderman. Tobey Maguire will always be Spiderman to me, not that British bugheaded looking kid. And don't get me started on that horrendous portrayal of Gwen Stacey.
Trying to see if I can start up this thread again. Another film I really hated was The Loved Ones. Never understood the acclaim that that film received. To me, it just felt like the Human Centipede with slightly better acting.
For me it's actually the other way around. I loved Amazing Spider-Man a lot more than the original trilogy, and I also felt like Andrew Garfield portrayed him better. I haven't seen the original ones in a while though, so maybe a rewatch is in order.

Movies i hate: Harry Potter series (They are so boring and so very long, IS 3 HOURS! I was even falling asleep during one of the movies)
Frozen (I watched it with family, but i couldn't watch to the end, i walked out of the room. The movie is so ANNOYING!!! Ever since that movie came out, i hear kids singing the stupid "Let it go" song, over and over and over and...over. And now they are making a 2nd movie, just...how did they make money on this?!)
WALL-E (..........)
Man Of Steel (I wanted to like this, i really did, but...i don't think this is better than the previous movies. It was going SO SLOW, and too many flashbacks. But it did looked much more realistic, but not enough to become my favorite. I am sorry but Superman Returns remains my favorite. Hopefully BVS does not disappoint me. The trailer looked really good so i am hyped!)
Frozen: I'm not joining the Frozen bandwagon as I think people are being harsh just for the sake of being harsh. However, I do think Frozen lost a lot of its luster after I saw it again. The animation felt very bland compared to other Disney/Pixar movies, the story was boringm the drama felt forced, the trolls were dumb, and the musicals were just cheesy. I came to realize it's really just for kids. Not exactly my cup of tea.
Grade: C
Mean Streets: Many praise it as one of Scorsese's best, hah not to me. I am still trying really hard to find something worth liking other than Keitel and De Niro, but everything just feels bland. Directing wasn't good as some shots were really choppy. It was his first time directing though, so I guess I could forgive him for that. Some story elements were really confusing and felt completely irrelevant. I tried thinking of what the director was trying to say, but I just couldn't connect with it. I understand that it was intended to be an art film rather than Raging Bull and GoodFellas, but it just disappointed me overall.
The first two Sam Raimi movies are quite good but they are extremely campy, which is actually very Sam Raimi, if you've ever seen his Xena or Hercules TV shows that's very much the tone.
For me it's actually the other way around. I loved Amazing Spider-Man a lot more than the original trilogy, and I also felt like Andrew Garfield portrayed him better. I haven't seen the original ones in a while though, so maybe a rewatch is in order.

The Amazing Spiderman 1 and 2, was it really necessary to remake the movies to begin with? The original Spiderman with Tobey Maguire was way better.
:O No way. They were good but I found the new ones a lot more action packed and a lot more funny.

You got me there, Mr. Shubbalubba. You can't go wrong with Emma Stone.
To be honest, I haven't seen the 2 Amazing Spiderman's yet. So I suppose I shall take your word for it and view them - eventually.(muahahahah)
Clockwork orange
Agreed. It was WAY too soon for a reboot anyway.
Thanks, Lahkesis. Maybe I'll change that eventually into a maybe, the more that I think about it. Haha.
World War Z
I read the book and thought, 'hey, how cool!' Gave it a chance...nope. My friends LOVED it. Not me. -.-;
Dat housedad knowing exactly what to do during a zombie outbreak tho.
Planet of the Apes: Revolution. Horrible.
I agree! The books are way better, that's why I hated the movies.
Another movie that I don't necessarily hate, but disliked was Fargo. I don't know why it got all the praise it received. It felt like a bland movie to me.
Haha i agree.
It was...disturbing imo
Pulp fiction (there I said it) Titanic, Frozen, The amazing spiderman.
Pulp Fiction!
Don't exactly hate it but I felt that it was overrated I just didn't understand why.
I could understand the whole overrated part. But hell, I still love that movie.
Guess I shouldn't have put that up since I don't particularly dislike it. Some parts were obviously amazing like the ones with Samuel L. Jackson. The John Travolta parts kind of put me off for some reason. It's a good movie though I just wasn't able to like it as much as everyone else did.
Well, it was fine for me. But still worse than the book.

Black Swan
Avatar, The Conjuring, World War Z
I haven't seen that movie, but it sounds like a ripoff of Perfect Blue to me.

"Top Gun, Rambo, Delta Force"
Life of Pi, The Matrix, Frozen. I don't hate them, but they're not as good as people say there IMO.
Trying to see if I can start up this thread again. Another film I really hated was The Loved Ones. Never understood the acclaim that that film received. To me, it just felt like the Human Centipede with slightly better acting.
:O
who likes WWZ?? i mean its not horrible its just ok.
Does everyone love black swan? :P

Most definitely Aeon Flux. I love the soundtrack and it's fun generic scifi action.

Inside Out.
Why.
I'm debating if I should see that. Not because I like Pixar (I don't), I just want to see Lewis Black go two hours without saying 'fuck.'
It's like watching the old Thomas the Tank Engine when George Carlin was Mr. Conductor.
