The reverse of that post I've made a week ago...

Rules: pick one movie or series and explain why you actually enjoyed it despite the criticism.

For me: The JJ Abrams Star Trek movies, by far the best ST stuff ever made, I couldn't take seriously the original universe with the dated effects and stiff acting, same goes for NG... These movies did ST actually great looking and much more believable, not just the effects.

Oh, man, where to start. I mean, the Kelvin Trek movies are definitely not the best Trek, but I do enjoy all of them. But speaking of contrarian appreciation, I think most of Star Trek Discovery is also pretty solid, barring perhaps the very last season.

I'm partial to Lynch's Dune, too. Maybe I just got used to it over time?

In the least hip stance possible, I actually think there are very few bad Marvel movies and most are worth at least a cheerful watch (not you, Doctor Strange 2, you suck).

Discovery was such a waste of potential. They kept killing off the interesting characters and promoting the least interesting ones. Then the secret to saving the universe one season was rescuing a crying lonely alien. πŸ™„

He was more the cause of the end of the world than the solution, but yeah.

I thought it was... fine? I mean, not the most well rounded thing in Trek history, but fine.

Discovery suffered from being just fine after having to deal with massive backlash for trying to be different. That and carrying a season-long arc while trying to be a Trek TV show in between the movie bits.

But I would absolutely watch any of the first four seasons of Disco than any part of Picard. Any day. Season five is a mess and I really don't vibe with their take on spirituality, but that's mostly just me.

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.

This year I genuinely enjoyed Megalopolis. It looks great and it's thoughtful. People won't "get it" for probably 10 years.

That movie got bad reviews? I liked it, it was hopeful and came out at a good time for it.

Edit: loved shia labeouf in it too

I quite liked Kraven but all I see of it online is comparisons of which is worst that or Madam Web.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I personally didn’t think Kraven was a β€˜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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Madame Web is basically pointless nonsense, at least Kraven had halfway decent action and an actual plot.

The fact I was eight years old when it was released may have had a bearing, but the Clone Wars movie.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

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.

Breakin'

Breakin' 2 Electric Boogaloo

Surf Ninjas

All arguably bad. All enjoyable and I have a good time watching them.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Arguably? lol
