The reverse of that post I’ve made a week ago…

Rules: pick one movie or series and explain why you actually enjoyed it despite the criticism.

For me: The JJ Abrams Star Trek movies, by far the best ST stuff ever made, I couldn’t take seriously the original universe with the dated effects and stiff acting, same goes for NG… These movies did ST actually great looking and much more believable, not just the effects.

    I like all the Terminator movies. All of them. Time travel, killer robots, Arnold; I know it’s wrong but I can’t help myself.

      Weren’t the terminator movies insanely popular?

      Edit: i was thinking just the original 2 or 3 movies my bad. I don’t even think I saw the ones after that.

          Terminator 3 was great and I’ll fight anyone who says otherwise. It completed the story nicely and put a little bow on top of it. If they would have ended the series there, I would have been satisfied.

          Salvation was unnecessary, but fun to see stoned off my ass in theaters. Giant robots fighting on a big screen? Sign me the fuck up. Wouldn’t go out of my way to see it again, though.

          I don’t remember a thing from Genesys but I remember enjoying it as well. Haven’t seen any other Terminator films.

      I can see liking everything up to Salvation, but the last two movies are mostly just lazy cash grabs.

        I actually enjoyed Dark Fate well enough. It made some ballsy decisions and at least made a modicum of sense.
