Ask Lemmy

I'm not even going to call it a guilty pleasure, but Josie and the Pussycats was a movie that I genuinely adored long before people started to appreciate it for the satire that it is.

As a CIS male I got endlessly mocked, but I stuck to my guns.

Joker 2 is amazing

Oh, man, where to start. I mean, the Kelvin Trek movies are definitely not the best Trek, but I do enjoy all of them. But speaking of contrarian appreciation, I think most of Star Trek Discovery is also pretty solid, barring perhaps the very last season.

I'm partial to Lynch's Dune, too. Maybe I just got used to it over time?

In the least hip stance possible, I actually think there are very few bad Marvel movies and most are worth at least a cheerful watch (not you, Doctor Strange 2, you suck).

Lots of people hated Avatar (the blue aliens, not arrow forehead boy), but I loved that movie so much that I saw it twice in IMAX 3d.

The twilight movie series. I've watched the entire thing at least 3 times, still love it. Meme scenes aside, they're actually quite nice

I really like Alien: Covenant. Micheal Fassbender is fantastic in that movie.
Awesome cinematography, awesome vibe, awesome creatures and Aliens, and a fantastic ending.\

It’s my second favorite Alien movie.
Okay, thanks to that statement the flamethrowers are gonna come out; let me explain:

1. Alien is a nigh untouchable masterpiece.
2. Alien: Covenant
3. Aliens is a good movie. I don’t quiet like it as much as an Alien-Movie and also am generally not that big of a fan as quite a lot of people seem to be.
4. Alien Romulus. Okay, nice movie I guess. The are some plot holes like: How do they know Ridley threw the Xenomorph out of the airlock? She is still in Cryosleep. But generally quite enjoyable. Jumping Facehuggers are a nice touch.
5. Prometheus. I also don’t dislike this one. Even though they got lost in the weeds on this one a bit.
6. ……
7. ……
8. ……
9. Alien 3: Bad.
10. Alien Resurrection: Utter Garbag.

This year I genuinely enjoyed Megalopolis. It looks great and it's thoughtful. People won't "get it" for probably 10 years.

I’m sure the films would have been far far far better received if they hadn’t completely trashed almost every single character trait that had been established over decades and decades of world building. He took an established ip and tore it to bits to make a film. If he’d have given the characters different names no one would’ve known it was a Star Trek film. The new films have literally no continuity with all that came before. I think that’s where the hate comes from.

Alien Covenant.

People talk about the characters being unrealistic, I think they're just different to movie characters and normal humans.

I really enjoyed the film.

Hamlet 2 is genuinely hilarious, and I watch it far more often than I should.

The fact I was eight years old when it was released may have had a bearing, but the Clone Wars movie.

I liked Madame Web.

I know in most places online that’s tantamount to saying you enjoy being mean to puppies & kittens, but I enjoyed the movie.

Why? Because of the precognition plot element. Was it as smooth & impressive as Knives Out? No, but I’m still glad I watched it.

10,000 BC. Pretty sure it got a raspberry or whatever for being the worst movie.

I dont know why people think it needs to be historically accurate or believe, its an adventure movie.

Such a fun adventure.

I quite liked Kraven but all I see of it online is comparisons of which is worst that or Madam Web.

Dare Devil, directors cut. I thought it was as good a super hero origins movie as any of the others.
