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 movie "Stay" got some really bad reviews. I was absolutely blown away by it and it is one of my favourite movies of all time.

The Prince of Persia movie. Also God's of Egypt.

Terminator Genesys. It's loathed by terminator fans for a variety of reasons and I won't defend any of the writing or casting decisions, but I do give it credit for trying to do something new with the story and time aspect. I think it could have been a lot better if they took a bit more time with it and recast a few characters, but overall it's a popcorn flik to me, turn your brain off and enjoy.

A story where Skynet's the good guy and wants to evolve humanity instead of killing it would be friggin awesome, but it makes for a better novel than action movie.

I don’t think anyone hates it but Congo has a low rating online despite it being one of my favourite movies of all time. I can recite or word word

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.

Jupiter's Ascending.. it was nice 👍

There is an often panned movie starring Robin Williams called Club Paradise. It's not a good movie but it's a fantastic feature length SNL skit.
