I enjoyed every part of Revenge of the Fallen. Except the comedy... I wish they would get rid of the comedy...

2012 - I cant believe the hate this movie got. It was like roller coaster ride from beginning to near the end which I admit became full of it self because it slowed the movie down but other than that it was great popcorn flick.
Skyline - I liked this movie a lot because it did not get bogged down with a bunch of characters and the ending attempted to be different from other movies in this genre. I hope there is a sequel to continue the story. Much better than any recent alien movies like the shit that is Battle Los Angel's and also District 9 which everyone loves but I thought was boring.

FINALLY! Another GINO fan.slit said:Just as the title says. What movies do you really love that were critically panned or pretty much universally hated. I'll start with a few.

I really loved the fact that this movie was about an animal trying to survive a hostile world instead of mindless lizard destroying shit just for the hell of it. Apparently monster movie fans don't agree with me.
I especially agree with the bolded part.

Not really critically panned except on message boards, but The Incredible Hulk.
It's a definite step up from the TV series it was modeled after. It tells a Hulk story that doesn't involve a lot of running in the desert, and it has an actual fight at the end.
Also sets up the Hulk with a brain angle for The Avengers.
Better than Iron Man 1&2. (Seriously, how did Rourke's character manage to hang those guards from the ceiling? Prison power?)

People listing Cable Guy have the right idea. Does anyone else remember how fashionable it used to be to bag on that movie?

Showgirls.
It does have its fair share of supporters now though.

Gentleman Broncos.
From the director of Napoleon Dynamite. Crucified by critics, bombed at the cinema, but I actually preferred it to ND.
A piss-take of small communities again, but with the central focus being a terrible science fiction author who rips off a kid's entry into a competition. The author is played brilliantly, and the reenactments of the stories from both points of views are nearly Monty Python levels of surrealism. Such epicness as this:
If you like off-beat humour, it's definitely worth checking out.

I think what was presented and what was expected is what caused the film to be hated. Well that and the fact that nerdy Godzilla fans don't like anything that revolves around any kind of coherent plot.
If it hadn't been called Godzilla it would have been better received, I think.

The success of others absolutely infuriates me.
Speed Racer, man. I love practically everything in the movie. Casting, story, tone, etc. I adored Roger Allam as Royalton. There's barely a moment where I'm not smiling.
Honestly, it redeemed the Wachowskis for me. Watched it recently expecting to hate it. Those two plus hours flew by.
I also kind of dig Super Mario Bros. It's such a fascinating train wreck of a movie.

No shut the fuck up, the original Godzilla movie is fantastic. The others are just good fun imo. Tristar's Godzilla is simply an abomination that tries to go off from the success of the original only with a far worse script. There's a reason why one of these movies is hated, and the others aren't.

This is getting weirder all the time
The Next 3 Days, first 3 Saw films (dunno if you would call the first two panned), every Adam Sandler movie up to Click, and Hannibal
Agree with all of this.
And while Watchmen did have some failings (it took itself a little too seriously and was a little slow at parts), in hindsight I can really appreciate it for what it tried to do: namely, be a superhero blockbuster with a compelling narrative, instead of just "Hurp Durp! Origin story with cheap romance sub-plot and big explosions! Hurp Durp!"

Da Vinci Code. 25% on Rotten Tomatoes. I loved it. I never read the book, so that may have impacted how much I liked it. I remember on the first day reviews came out, it had 0% after 8 reviews or so, lol.

Hot Rod
Beerfest
Death to Smoochie
There are a few critically panned action movies that I enjoy, but I don't count those, because even though I enjoyed them I didn't consider them to necessarily be "good" (Expendables comes to mind).
Generally when a movie is critically panned I don't watch it. Only rarely do I see a trailer for a movie that I will see nobody the reviews (it usually has to be twisted in some way, Death to Smoochie was like this).
Occasionally I will be first to watch a movie I will expect to suck, but doesn't. Hot Rod and Beerfest are two such examples.
I find the least reliable genre for a movie's quality based on critics reviews is comedies. I generally seem to agree with critics on the whole even in this category, but it's when movies tread the 30 - 50% territory that they sometimes seem to be off the mark. It may be a generational gap where certain types of comedies only tend to appeal to certain age groups that are underrepresented. Generally comedies that get in the 90% range on RT tend to be pretty good, but are usually more quirky comedies than "laugh out loud funniest thing ever" comedies.

That the characters are dumb, shallow or corrupt is not evidence of a bad film.
EDIT- The key to understanding Showgirls is to watch it as a companion piece to Starship Troopers. They both mock the genre to which they seemingly belong and are more about America than either bugs or boobs.

Sucker Punch was so horribly lambasted I planned on avoiding it at all costs.
Then the other day I heard a movie reviewer on the radio that was once my English professor espouse it virtues, and as I thought this guy was pretty awesome, he's made me reconsider. I still don't plan on paying money for it, but I will record it when it hits my movie channel, or watch it on netflix now.

Yeah, The One is a perfect B-movie.
Still waiting for a sequel to The One, where they discover that there are really 3 multiverses...

Nope, but the level of seriousness placed in what ended up being a terrible screenplay does. C'mon you can't watch the final 10 minutes of that movie and claim that Showgirls is not a bad film. Well, to each their own, I suppose.
I agree, but I think the fact that Paul Verhoeven accomplishes completely on accident (and it was an accident. He wanted this movie to be a blockbuster drama) that's part of the reason why Showgirls is considered a camp classic, and not just another bad film that nobody remembers. The social commentary isn't what's in the movie. It's knowing what went into making it, and the mindset at the time.
