What is your most hated movie?

QUOTE Have you noticed that some of the BEST movies are comic book adaptations?  Almost every movie that comes out that is based on a comic shoots to number one. Why is that?   Because nobody ever said the general public had taste, and nobody ever went broke by under-estimating the intelligence of the masses. Professional wrestling and Nascar are popular, too. Mechanical bulls used to be all the rage.   But I digress. Are you saying that The Hulk, The Fantastic Four, the Batman francise (post-Tim Burton), Catwoman, Daredevil, Elektra, Red Sonja, Superman 3-5, etc. are all better and more artistic than "Star Wars" and LotR? I couldn't agree more.   The only comic book movies I've seen that I think were TRULY great were the first two X-Men and the first two Spiderman movies. Those were all stupendous movies IMHO. Batman Begins I saw, but I didn't immediately get what everyone else saw in it. I'll need to see that one again - I can barely remember it. I didn't dislike it at all, it just kind of passed me by somehow...

Can you see now our comparison to your beloved comic books?

 

For the record, though... I have read a graphic novel or two in my time. Have you read any novels without pictures?

Holy crap, I just realized something! You're from Pennsylvania??? I was driving through Pennsylvania last weekend, and I saw a guy that looked like you... but I figured it wasn't. Did you eat at Wendy's last weekend, wearing a Slayer t-shirt? Seriously. It was Easter Sunday. We may have been in the same restaurant at the same time and not known it.

No. I don't eat at Wendy's nor do i own any band related t-shirts. I only have one t-shirt and that's only cuz it was bought as a gift for me. Otherwise... no band related t's. So it couldn't have been me. What part of Pa. was it?

If it moves me, I may be interested in other's opinions, but usually I could care less what others think of what I like. If it pleases me, that's usually all i need. Occassionally I'll recommend something because I think others would benefit from what I found to be great, like I did with 300. And if I think something is ridiculous drivel, like LOTR or Star Wars...then i'll post that too. If people would stop trying to hammer it down my throat with comparisons of it to ART and TIMELESS CLASSICS... i wouldn't feel so moved to reply. I understand people liking them, but i don't understand blind devotion to anything. Especially something so trivial as a sci-fi movie.

My main point was: people who read comic books into their 30s have no place trashing "Star Wars" the way Necro has.

 

That's all. And may the Force be with him.

I thought this was an interesting find. It's of course in no way related to any previous posts in this thread.

 

In the Internet Movie Database (IMDB), where people can vote on movies and give them a 1-10 rating, I found the following in the list of their top 250 rated films of all time (link):

 

8. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

9. Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back

12. Star Wars (1977)

15. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

24. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

33. The Matrix

 

I THINK all of the ones on the bottom were adapted from comic books, though I'm not positive:

 

69. Sin City

92. Batman Begins

126. V For Vendetta

 

Anyway, that was all I could find on the top #250 list related to comic book movies. I'm not trying to illustrate any kind of point here or anything, I'm just saying.

My main point was: people who read comic books into their 30s have no place trashing "Star Wars" the way Necro has. That's all. And may the Force be with him.

Always.

I thought this was an interesting find. It's of course in no way related to any previous posts in this thread. In the Internet Movie Database (IMDB), where people can vote on movies and give them a 1-10 rating, I found the following in the list of their top 250 rated films of all time (link): 8. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King 9. Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back 12. Star Wars (1977) 15. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring 24. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers 33. The Matrix I THINK all of the ones on the bottom were adapted from comic books, though I'm not positive: 69. Sin City 92. Batman Begins 126. V For Vendetta Anyway, that was all I could find on the top #250 list related to comic book movies. I'm not trying to illustrate any kind of point here or anything, I'm just saying. http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f72/rushgoober5/rushgoober6/foto.gif

Hmmm... a database where you can vote repeatedly on the geekiest movie of your choice??? Wow... that holds a TON of credit in my book.

 

Again... i don't dispute the insane popularity of these movies. It's a well known fact that Americans are sheep and have no minds of their own. So when you get hit over the head with HUGE media campaigns for this shit, of course the lowest forms will come out and spend their hard earned money watching something OVER AND OVER. Never once have I debated this. I mean... you're talking about the KINGS of GEEKDOM. Of course they are camped in front of their computers voting repeatedly on LOTR and STAR WARS. When they're not, they are getting dressed up in their Han Solo and Slave Girl Leia outfits.

 

LOSERS!!!

I guess now isn't the time to being up the Star Wars comic I had as a kid, it was great.

PS I was at a fancy dress party recently where our hostess was in her 'Slave Girl Leia outfit', believe me there's nothing geeky there. It was all good, as were Barberella and Catgirl.
