Name a movie critics hated but you liked

Saracene · 05-21-2005, 05:01 AM

A movie that gets slapped by the majority of critics, but when you actually watch it you go, "Hmm... that wasn't bad at all..."?

I really enjoyed "Devil's Advocate" with Al Pacino and Keanu Reeves, for example.

the wedding singer, surprisingly.

I thought 'The Interpreter' was better than it was given credit for - that's the only one I can think off of the top of my head.

U2democrat · 05-21-2005, 03:15 PM

Gladiator

Most of the reviews I've read weren't so nice, but I LOVE it. LOVE Russell Crowe, LOVE Joaquin Phoenix, LOVE LOVE LOOOOOOOVE Hans Zimmer (score composer). Perfect!

Saracene · 05-21-2005, 08:58 PM

Personally, I still love Titanic for all its flaws, even though the majority of the critics are now embarrassed to remember the gushing reviews they gave it on its release.

I love Gladiator too!! I remember Ebert saying something like" the colosieum (sp?) looked like something out of a video game" I also remember the multiude of critics who bashed Joaquin Phoenix for his acting. Phoenix was my favorite part of the movie! He was so sympathetic and yet a good villian at the same time.

And yes Gladiator has one of the best film scores of all time.

I like Gladiator too... I wouldn't pay the ticket to the theater but is a good movie to watch in your house during a rainy day

Earnie Shavers · 05-22-2005, 11:07 PM

Vanilla Sky. It has it's problems when weighed up against the original (which I saw 2nd), and the ending is a little shady, but it was wrongly panned by everyone when it's really a great, great film.

Palace_Hero · 05-22-2005, 11:11 PM

Oh yes, Vanilla Sky was wonderful. And whilst the same story, different to 'Open Your Eyes'.

Both are terrific films.

dsmith2904 · 05-23-2005, 10:02 AM

Every Kevin Smith movie.

Siren · 06-02-2005, 06:33 PM

I have to add Brotherhood Of The Wolf on the list. I loved that the movie was a mix of different genres.

Can't tell you why, but I loved it.
