Films that should have had a lot more praise/done better than they did

[Guest Da Showstoppa]

I'm gonna suggest Ghost Rider. Not one of the biggest Comic book films but one of the best in my eyes. Sure Eva Mendes gets right on my tits but everyone else (particularly Sam Elliot) is absolutely stella.

 

Good story, good effects, not too much focus on the love interest, some pretty grisly deaths and one of the best transformation sequences in any superhero movie. I love it.

 

Ghost Rider is an awesome movie.

Nic Cage ruined Ghost Rider for me, that man is so wooden you could build a shelf out of him

[Guest Inno]

When I think of Nic Cage now, all I can see is a dirty white vest, long straggly hair and him producing the worst accent I've ever heard while saying "put the bunny back in the box" :(

I actually felt like I was robbed after I paid to watch Click... That film just didn't do it for me.

Same. I wish I had one of those magic remotes like Adam Sandler, so I could go back in time to the second before I entered the cinema, and go do something more productive with my time. Like standing perfectly still for two hours, or talking to a cow, or trying to pour water uphill or something.

[Guest Saz]

Me too, but the votes stand.

Click was a really good movie, you people are just too picky/choosy/unreal-expectations/something or other.

How dare people expect to enjoy a film?! Idiots and tossers all of them!

And what's that supposed to mean?

You want sarcasm explained?! I know you have it down under, Jim Bob uses it brilliantly at times.

[ShaolinHandLock 73]

I thought sarcasm required smilies......

Darkstar is one big smiley

This from the guy who automatically dislikes 99% of musical tracks before he's even listened to them. :lol

Nah you're just far too generous. If you class Click as a really good movie, then whats the departed? A really really really really really really really really.... well you get the point.

 

I've seen Click a couple of times, and it's quite entertaining and has a nice emotional scene in it. It's certainly not a film that should be slated, but there are alot funnier comedies out there and a hell of a lot better films out there. It's ok at best.

The majority of Adam Sandlers films have rubbish stories, they aren't funny and they rely on cheap laughs...

But I listened to them first. So its not automatic dislike then is it?

I disagree, I found it to be very good.

Bullbum. Adam Sandler has always been one of my favourite comedy actors, simply because his films are always funny. So, I completely disagree with your statement.
