What movies you like that you think get way too much hate than they deserve?

For me are the Bay-formers. Ya I know the movies lack the deep character development from the show and it suffers from some annoying characters (Sam, Skids and Mudflap, Mikaela) but I think the main problem people have is that when people went to see the movies they tought they would get the same "status quo" story over again, wich is find for the ones who like it, but for me I always seek for different storylines and demographic (that's why my favorite Transformers were the Beast Wars era). Also, you can't deny when there's action, there's a lot of action! I often see people criticize CGI from calling it "cheap effects" but apparantly they don't know how hard is to programate those animations. Optimus Prime itself is made of over 10.00 individuals parts in the movie! These kind of work always has a value in my book.

So, what movies you think have way too much hate?

Man of Steel. I can understand why some people think it's mediocre but it's nowhere near the worst movie to ever exist ever.

DId you forget the Explosion?

Cars 2

Some people say it doesn't feel at all like a Pixar film and that it's a complete sellout. I still think it has a Pixar feel, as it has a strong message that the simplest people could end up doing something spectacular and shouldn't be looked down on. Also it was made because director John Lasseter has a hobby of collecting things like toy cars, the similar types of collecting of toys and bugs that brought us Toy Story and A Bug's Life. Not to mention the designs of the different cities, especially Tokyo, are nothing more than spectacular. Plus the fast paced animation during the racing is really well done, and the climax is actually intense.

Don't attack me for this, but i think the final matrix movie got too much hate.

The resident evil movies. Are they as good as the games? No
Are they as bad as everyone says they are? No

Star Wars the Phantom Menace.

Hear me out.

It's not that it doesn't deserve whatever hate it got, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuut it got to the point where everyone was beating a dead horse.

Parody Movies. Nuff said.

Although it ends well, these fanboys thought it had several flaws. Do I look like that I really need to read the comic books of Iron Man to explain the difference?

The Polar Express' CGI is nowhere near Uncanny Valley, compared to later works (Delgo and Mars Needs Moms comes to mind.)

Agreed. There were times when it did get pretty gross looking but there were also times where it looked pretty great (mostly in the shots focused on scenery). Too bad it just doesn't measure up to the gorgeous illustrations in the book.

Rubber, if nobody know what I'm talking about, then here's the IMDB page for it

I think Iron Man 2 & 3 get a ton more hate then they should. Except for the awful ending, Iron Man 3 was really good. People were pissed at Mandarin was not a magic ring guy.
