Movies that you HATED until you actually watched them...

[Gold Ranger]

Everyone has preconceived notions about movies before they seem them, if ever. This ranges from casting decisions, cast members, crew, music, story, a bad trailer or just word of mouth.

So, if any of you are like me, and some days just seem to drag and are really boring, you breakdown and watch something, anything, just because there is nothing else to really do.

All that said, what movies do you now have a differing opinion on, now that you've actually watched that movie?
Also, You can include movies that are as bad as expected or even worse after watching them...

The Matrix: The reason I hated this for the longest time was because of a stupid MTV Awards Show... It won Best Fight when it went up against The Phantom Menace. Seriously? People shooting at each other is somehow better than actual talent in Sword Play?

Fight Club: I was NOT a fan of Brad Pitt. Until late one night on HBO, I decided to give it a go and was blown away. Great twist ending too... As I had DirecTV at the time, just as it finished airing, the West Coast Feed came on and I watched it again straight away, and it was really interesting seeing it again right away, knowing how everything happened.

Catch Me If You Can: Kind of the same as the above... Was not a Leo fan. He seemed like he was just a teeney bopper/boy band actor. I was flipping through the channels and saw a preview for this on StarZ, I think, and it looked really interesting. I gave it a shot. I liked the movie.

King Kong: Tried watching... worse than I thought it would be.
