Outside of Die Another Day, the second half anyway when they introduced the invisible car, I really like them, but I'm a fan of Brosnan's Bond as those were the movies I grew up on (back in the 80s, didn't watch Moore or Dalton's films, though later years like Dalton's, Moore OTOH I wasn't a big fan of).


As for hate, the recent Beauty and the Beast live action remake, The Love Guru, Slender Man, The Emoji Movie, A Bad Mom's Christmas amongst several DTV films (The Haunting of Sharon Tate for example).

Even Goldeneye? The film so nice it killed Sean Bean twice?

I agree. I liked all of them the first time I watched them, then after a second viewing I realized how bad they were.

Just Married
Valentine's Day (the first movie I ever walked out of)
Joker (the only other movie I've ever walked out of)

Hot take on Brosnan Bond: The World is Not Enough is my favorite Bond theme, period.

This was awful. I rented the Blu-ray and barely made it through it. Long and tedious.

The Boondock Saints... same answer I gave 8 years ago.

IBJoel

Bruckheimer films from 2000 onwards seem to be universally 45-60min too long.

DJariya

Ughh I rented that for free from the library and thought it was terrible. And I thought Why is this a cult classic? Zero interest in seeing the sequel.

Josh-da-man

Yeah, that's a bizarre one.

It has to be the worst movie with the best reputation.

I made the mistake of blind-buying it on blu-ray when it was on sale for like $5 and regretted it.

Michael Corvin

I still don't get the hate for SPR. I just rewatched it a week or so ago. Showed it to my daughter for the first time. I forgot how amazing it was. Every actor in it was phenomenal and has gone on to bigger things. The casting director/ talent scout nailed that one. I totally forgot about Vin Diesel being in it, and it's been so long I had no idea that Nathan Fillion was the other Private Ryan.

I'll add Ted and Hangover to my list of comedies from above. Hangover was severely overrated. Maybe if I saw it in the theater it would have been a different outcome. How it got two more movies...oof. Ted on the other hand is a below average rom-com that hinges on a one note joke that gets old in the first five minutes. After you're over the swearing bear six minutes in, you have another 90 minutes of monotonous rom-com tropes and tired potty humor.

Daytripper

Oh, yes. Good call! Also on my list. And what the fuck is up with Depp's make-up that contraption on his head? Another reason I hated it. So stupid and over the top IMO.

I don't hate "SPR". The first 20 minutes or so are probably the best I've seen in any war movie. But then Spielberg ruins the rest of the film here and there with his typical Hallmark touches. That's my only gripe.

tanman

Oh yeah those Hallmark moments like guys just exploding with those sock tar bomb things. Or a Nazi killing one of the main characters slowly and excrutiatingly by slowly plunging a knife into his chest.

I didn’t hate The Lone Ranger but I also went in with extremely low expectations after hearing how bad it was. I will admit that it’s probably about 40 minutes too long and using Depp’s character to frame the entire movie was a mistake.

"A Beautiful Mind" just epitomizes what I hate about most biopics. I was surprised (though I shouldn't have been) at how much they changed the real story and how much they white-washed the central character. I've never understood why you option a person's biography and then alter it to make it cinematic, -just tell a fictional story and make it better than the truth.

Daytripper

Yeah, that's exactly what I meant. Those "moments".
