Personally, I liked Titanic when I first saw it. However, I think the radio's unhealthy obession with the theme song killed it to the point where people were HOPING they die.
Never saw Avatar, as I could smell the plot a mile away and had no real inkling to go see it.
I personally like Transformers. I think the hype is overrated, and I grew up with season 1, I don't remember if I saw the animated movie or not, but the massive love or massive hate for these movies just seems silly. I mean, over an hour of clanking metal? Really? Were you expecting Care Bears? You do understand robots made of metal are the main characters, right?
I wish I could've seen District 9, but Mom griped so much in the first five minutes because it seemed more like a documentary instead of a fanciful happy world that we had to turn it off.
The first Hulk movie. I get what the director was trying to do. Still, I can't help the fact I was a fan of the show and preferred the remake's version.
The Passion. I disagree that glorifying torture and death and villifying a group that historically had nothing to do with the ending is worth it. I'm a Christian, but South Park was right. That's all I'm goin' ta say about that.
Star Wars. Don't get me wrong. I love these movies, even the bad ones. I can even take Obi Wan's fanboying of the Jedi in the originals and the stark reality of a bunch of idiotic hypocrites in the prequels. On the other hand, these six movies should be renamed The Six Degrees of Anakin Skywalker. Still, loved the Obi Wan/Anakin fight on Mustafar. Fun stuff.
Would a rant on the Disney Princess thing as a whole belong to another thread? I mean, you get little else but white fragile victims up until Ariel, who switches out victimhood for teenage stupidity. Belle continues the Whining Princess category (and I can't stop crying at the end of this, I truly love these movies, I really do, but this rant only really shows up as the Princess line continues). Finally, we get Jasmine, who can kick your butt if you give her the opportunity. How often have you heard from her other than Kingdom Hearts after 9/11? And last, but not least, we get Tiana, who at least seems a lot more real than anyone else. I'm not counting Mulan or Alice. God dang it, they are never going to be princesses! You have to be ROYAL to be a princess! And don't get me started on the merchandise. Okay, I'll start a little ... I was in Wal-Mart and going past the kids' clothes section, and you had one shirt with Aurora, Cinderella, and Belle and another with just Tiana by herself. Make of that what you will. Also, why is Nala never counted as one? She's married to the King of the Pridelands!
It kills me to say this, but Heston's Ten Commandments. I loved this movie and I memorized it, but it really is profoundly silly and over-acted.
