Message: [QUOTE="Parasite_Steve, post: 41603, member: 5378"] The Star Wars prequels for one. Now I can’t defend the position they are secretly misunderstood masterpieces but each has enough good parts and unique ideas that their existence feels justified. I’d say the sequels get too much hate too, they’re decent if uninspired, but I don’t think the world would be missing much of anything had they never been made. Hard movies to really get angry about and I’m saying this as a Star Wars fan. From the list above definitely Street fighter and the Mario live action movie. Neither is great but I appreciate how creative and weird they are. Street fighter especially was definitely intended as a lighthearted comedy (according to the director‘s commentary) and works in that regard. The only actor who didn’t get it was supposed to be camp was van Damme which makes it even funnier. It’s a bit of a shame though because he’s actually really charming in comedies. My soft spot for the Mario movie and similar schlock like double dragon definitely comes from my taste for surreal 90s cheese. They just don’t make em like they used to. I wasn’t aware there was any hate for demolition man? It’s a classic. Another movie that gets people weirdly upset is ghostbusters 2. It’s not as good as the first one but it’s decent and I wouldn’t put the original on the same pedestal as other 80s movies like back to the future in the first place. I’d say the avgn movie and Doug walker‘s stuff don’t get enough flak. The former feels like a total scam in hindsight and the latter not only border on totally unwatchable, they also gained a much darker background when all the abuse at channel awesome came to light.
