I just watched Godfather 1 and 2. I didn't much care for the movies as I didn't really connect with any of the characters, all my friends say I'm crazy because I myself am Italian lol. Even though I didn't like it I understood why the series was so critically and commercially successful. So what about you, what movies do you hate but understand why they are so popular and successful?
Movies you hate but can understand why they are good
" Scary Movie, Date Movie, Super Hero Movie...why the hell do people go and watch it? "Did you even read the title?
Anyways, I'd have to go with BenjaminButton. I'm not sure why but it just didn't hold my attention and I found myself very bored.

" @Ahmad_Metallic: Out of curiosity, what didn't you like about Dark Knight? "I think it was an attempt to take brand new movie making into a new higher level of ACTION-Y ATMOSPHERE and THINGS GOING ON AT NIGHT and supposed to be all intense and shit.. and i believe it failed miserable. reached too far and got nothing.
alot of people have totally missed the point of this thread lol
I'd say No Country for Old Men, it's well made, the cinematography is top notch and it oozes class but i just found myself nodding off and not really connecting with the characters. I would say it's the slow pace, at the start at least if i remember correctly, but i like a bunch of movies with slower pacing!
Twilight series. Not for me, but considering the people it's for, which is little girls, there ain't nothing wrong with it as a movie.
Blasphemer! That movie was incredible and Baz Luhrmann is a visionary!" ... Moulin rouge [I can understand why girls like it but it's still god awful] ... "
I really didn't enjoy The Dark Knight all that much. I could see that the acting was great, but story-wise it didn't do anything to make me care.
