Critically Acclaimed Films That You Just Don't Like

Braveheart was one of those supposedly "love or hate" movies I couldn't get up enough interest to love or hate. So I suppose I just don't like it. I mean, it's not bad, but it didn't live up to the hype. And this is coming from someone whose family is half sheepfuc...That is, Scot. I swear, my family gets a collective hardon for anything Scottish.

I think it was just the monologues. I mean, lame as they are, they stick in your head.

Never saw Titanic, and I'm trying really hard to keep that up. Well, not really. But I won't go out of my way to watch it.

As for ones I like...well, I don't make any pretense to only liking the artful movies. I like fun movies, and I think half my collection is comedy of some sort, from sophisticated/Jewish to retarded/black. I like Eurotrip and Super Troopers and the Harold and Kumar movies, all of which are pretty fucking dumb, but they're amusing.

Same.



Also SAW, never saw the appeal to it, I never would have seen it to this day if not for my brother. The twist I guess is unexpected if you watch the movies in order (III was the first one I saw so that ruined that for me) but when you get that out of the way it just seems like another generic horror movie to me.

Generally though if I see a movie with all of the critical acclaim I avoid it. They generally don't appeal to me, I generally like comedies and action films, and everyone drooling over a movie just turns me off to it even more.

Actually thinking about comedies Superbad is actually another one, I got a copy of it from Amazon by mistake when I ordered something, and saw the first few minutes and turned it off. I probably should give it a second chance, but I didn't see what was so funny about it early on.
