Movies you can't decide whether you like or not - Blu-ray Forum

Riff Magnum · 11-18-2008, 03:23 PM

I know this sounds weird, but i know other people have to struggle with certain movies like i do. Right now it's "Boondock Saints" for me. While i was certainly entertained at points (hello Willem Dafoe), part of me says it's one of the worst movies i've ever seen. Problem is, i can't stop thinking about it.

The Incredible Hulk. I think I want to like it, it just feels like it's missing something...

(Fe)Man · 11-18-2008, 03:47 PM

I get what you're saying.

2 come to mind at the moment. Pan's Labyrinth and No Country For Old Men.

I hated Pan the first (and only) time I watched it and NCFOM pissed me off with the ending. The more I think about the movies though the more I want to re-watch them to see if I'll like them more now that the hype has flown completely away.

I'm going to have to go with There Will Be Blood.... I didn't get what all the hype was about, good story and DDL had some great parts, but man was it boring...

quexos · 11-18-2008, 03:51 PM

there's a plethora of movies I don't really hate but don't really like either. Why do you guys think my Bluray collection is so small

Deadset · 11-18-2008, 03:54 PM

Speed Racer
There will be blood
No Country for old men
Clone Wars

Speed Racer and clone wars were rentals that are really just a flipflop for me, I liked parts but despised others.

TWBB, I watched that with my wife, she hated it, but I was on the fence about it. I'd have to re-rent it and watch it alone, she won't sit through it again.

NCFOM, this was a blind buy and maybe it was too hyped for me, only viewed it once and still am on the fence whether I should trade away the BR or not...

agreed, I was a bit like "wtf". the worst part of the movie was the score; horribly distracting, jarring, and annoying.

I'm on the fence about Pan's Labyrinth and all of Del Toro's spanish films. I think he tries to hard to push metaphors about Spain, the Spanish wars, etc. Or maybe I just can't relate to them?

Teabaggins · 11-18-2008, 04:12 PM

I really enjoyed the Devil's Backbone. just the story revolving around the kids was good by itself

I am with you on that one

Riff Magnum · 11-18-2008, 04:15 PM

WOW!! Besides Incredible Hulk and Clone wars, you guys have just dissed many of my favorite movies. LOL!!
Maybe i was just wanting to get a discussion going about "Boondock Saints?" What say you?

Your second impression was more accurate (worst movie you've ever seen).
IMO.
But then, I keep saying that in other threads and don't want to keep insulting those who do like it. That's why I didn't mention it this time

+1. I'd love to see this on Blu.

I absolutelly hate the movie Superbad, but I found the parts with the McLovin character to be amusing at times.

arrow61095 · 11-18-2008, 05:42 PM

8mm is kind of like that. I'm not sure if I liked the movie or not.

arrow61095 · 11-18-2008, 05:48 PM

Some other movies that I am not sure if I liked or not:

Both Tomb Raider movies - Jolie is hot and perfectly cast, but the movies are both sub-par.

MirrorMask - At times I really liked this, then at other times I felt like it was one of a million other coming of age stories.

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen - Just can't decide whether I like or hate this.

OH, I got a good one - Van Helsing. That is totally the one movie that I can't decide if I like or not. I mean it's kind of cool. But then, it's pretty stupid too.
