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.

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.

This year I genuinely enjoyed Megalopolis. It looks great and it's thoughtful. People won't "get it" for probably 10 years.

There is nothing to get. It is even more basic than philosophy 101, yet it thinks it is some sort of insightful writing. It is cringe and embarrassing, kinda like a 15yo who just read a reddit post on /r/philosophy and then got high and wrote a movie script.

I do think it is a "so bad, it is actually good" kind of movie. It is almost like a sarcastic movie, making fun of pretentious movies. Maybe this will become the narrative in the future, especially once Coppola is dead.

It will become a cult classic, but not for the reasons Coppola wants.

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

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.

I quite liked Kraven but all I see of it online is comparisons of which is worst that or Madam Web.

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)_/¯

Breakin'

Breakin' 2 Electric Boogaloo

Surf Ninjas

All arguably bad. All enjoyable and I have a good time watching them.

Surf Ninja! Sad that money can't buy knives.

Chicken Little - I'm not here to defend it, but it has a place in my heart.

'Meet the Robinsons' is another classic in my book

People really like to hate on Jurassic World, but I quite enjoyed it.

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

People hate the JJ Star Trek films? I've only ever heard nothing but praise for them.

Norm MacDonald's Dirty Work is actually pretty funny.
