Most people in my life think anime is trash. They don’t tell me to “hate” any movies, but anime movies don’t get a lot of love. The best movie I’ve seen is an anime movie. It’s called 君の名は。 (“your name.”), and yes, the full-stop is part of the title (so it’s a bit annoying to type outside of quotes or parenthesis, which is part of why I use the native title first. I don’t think anybody seriously thinks 君の名は。 is a “bad” movie or “hates” it, but it gets dismissed for being “anime.” (J.J. Abrams bought the option to adapt it, and planned a live-action film, before COVID. That will bring more attention to it. Not sure if it’s still happening, though. I think they have a screenplay. I already know what it’s about, who the characters will be, where it’s set, and a lot of that, but a lot of details are still missing, and I don’t think shooting has begun, or even casting.)
Everyone on the Internet hates Battlefield Earth. I tried to watch it, but I couldn’t. Sorry, I’m with the Internet on this one.
A lot of the Internet hates the Twilight movies. I quite liked the first one. The next three had cool parts, but weren’t as good as the first.
OP, maybe if you told us some movies YOU were told to hate (or, the way I read it, “told you would hate”), people who liked those movies could respond. I see some people are taking offense at your title and not really answering. I just think it’s badly worded (maybe) so I answered as best I could. Always assume good faith until proven otherwise, I say!
I would if I felt there was good engagement in the thread. I dont do it initially because that is not the point of ask. Not every question is a home run but you have some real awful people trolling new right now. Lemmy gets this way. Real engagement must be down, that is all.
Id go with stuff like the starwars prequels/sequels. Im told to hate these films but really, they are fine to watch.
Oh yeah, I do like the Star Wars prequels. Phantom Menace is a bit infantile, but Attack of the Clones sits firmly between Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back, and Revenge of the Sith sits between Jedi and SW, in terms of quality. TPM is right there with Jedi, and was a blast both times I saw it in theaters. Duel of the Fates was one of the best fights of the franchise, and the pod race is unmatched in terms of chase/race scenes (only really going up against the speeder chase in Jedi, the car chase in Clones, and maybe one other? And seeing Palpatine as a not-villain but knowing the truth about him? All good all around.
