Lots of people hated Avatar (the blue aliens, not arrow forehead boy), but I loved that movie so much that I saw it twice in IMAX 3d.

I'm not even going to call it a guilty pleasure, but Josie and the Pussycats was a movie that I genuinely adored long before people started to appreciate it for the satire that it is.
As a CIS male I got endlessly mocked, but I stuck to my guns.
Joker 2 is amazing
Freddy Got Fingered! I laughed until my sides hurt. I don't even care for Tom Green's street material all that much, but that movie is hilarious and I will defend it.
It's batshit insane, the bits are infectious, and every scene is memorable as fuck. The soundtrack is insanely good as well. There's a theory that he didn't want to make this movie, and it's a giant middle finger to the studio. Not only do I believe this, but I think Tom Green really carried that bit all the way, making one of the most ridiculous comedies of all time.
I really like Alien: Covenant.
Micheal Fassbender is fantastic in that movie.
Awesome cinematography, awesome vibe, awesome creatures and Aliens, and a fantastic ending.\
It’s my second favorite Alien movie.
Okay, thanks to that statement the flamethrowers are gonna come out; let me explain:
- Alien is a nigh untouchable masterpiece.
- Alien: Covenant
- Aliens is a good movie. I don’t quiet like it as much as an Alien-Movie and also am generally not that big of a fan as quite a lot of people seem to be.
- Alien Romulus. Okay, nice movie I guess. The are some plot holes like: How do they know Ridley threw the Xenomorph out of the airlock? She is still in Cryosleep. But generally quite enjoyable. Jumping Facehuggers are a nice touch.
- Prometheus. I also don’t dislike this one. Even though they got lost in the weeds on this one a bit.
- ……

- Alien 3: Bad.
- Alien Resurrection: Utter Garbag.
I’m sure the films would have been far far far better received if they hadn’t completely trashed almost every single character trait that had been established over decades and decades of world building. He took an established ip and tore it to bits to make a film. If he’d have given the characters different names no one would’ve known it was a Star Trek film. The new films have literally no continuity with all that came before. I think that’s where the hate comes from.
Alien Covenant.
People talk about the characters being unrealistic, I think they're just different to movie characters and normal humans.
I really enjoyed the film.
The twilight movie series. I've watched the entire thing at least 3 times, still love it. Meme scenes aside, they're actually quite nice
Hamlet 2 is genuinely hilarious, and I watch it far more often than I should.
This year I genuinely enjoyed Megalopolis. It looks great and it's thoughtful. People won't "get it" for probably 10 years.
The movie "Stay" got some really bad reviews. I was absolutely blown away by it and it is one of my favourite movies of all time.
10,000 BC. Pretty sure it got a raspberry or whatever for being the worst movie.
I dont know why people think it needs to be historically accurate or believe, its an adventure movie.
Such a fun adventure.
Dare Devil, directors cut. I thought it was as good a super hero origins movie as any of the others.
I quite liked Kraven but all I see of it online is comparisons of which is worst that or Madam Web.
I personally didn’t think Kraven was a ‘good’ movie but I at least had a great time watching it in all its weirdness, where Madam Web was just a slog for me
The fact I was eight years old when it was released may have had a bearing, but the Clone Wars movie.
I liked Madame Web.
I know in most places online that’s tantamount to saying you enjoy being mean to puppies & kittens, but I enjoyed the movie.
Why? Because of the precognition plot element. Was it as smooth & impressive as Knives Out? No, but I’m still glad I watched it.
