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.

    The latest matrix. I liked it for the critique that it is.

      I thought it was absolutely hilarious satire, and I laughed at the entire movie. Everyone told kept telling me to be quiet, but I just couldn’t stop laughing.

      It was wonderfully self-aware, and it tore it itself to shreds.

      This movie did not work with me at all. I kinda understand the satirical elements but as a fan of the first film I couldn’t stomach it.

      Yeah, I wasn’t that excited about the idea of sequel in the first place, mostly because I didn’t think there was much point to one. So when I saw Resurrections I was actually pleasantly surprised, and genuinely enjoyed the different tone and lamposting of the dumbness of unnecessary sequels.

      The parts where its clear they were forced to make the video game movie or someone else would is great. The rest is… not good imo. Neo uses the force push every 30 seconds and solves all of his problems.
