Movies generally considered "bad" that you like.

I’m not sure if this is already a thread or not, but if it is, just link that thread in your reply. Anyway, some movies considered “bad” that I thought were pretty good were Star Trek Into Darkness, Man of Steel, Alien 3 and Prometheus. What about you guys?

Speaking of star trek, I’m a fan of ‘nemesis’.

Agree with the OP list except Man of Steel, which I haven’t seen.

Are talking about Bad/Good movies, like “The Room” or “Showgirls”? Or are we just talking about shitty movies that we’re too blind to realize are garbage, like the “Godzilla” reboot or “Signs”?

Don’t do drugs, unless you’re with me.

I liked Signs too. One man’s trash is another man’s decent sci-fi character flick despite some flaws.

If we are talking about Bad/Good movies, there’s already a thread for that.

Into Darkness has 4/5 stars on IMDB, so “generally considered bad” is a bit subjective there. I liked it as well, though, and I also liked the Hobbit trilogy, which a lot of Tolkien fans whined about.

I watched ‘The Transporter 3’ once on TV and enjoyed it.

I’ve just seen many Trek fans complain about it. Trek fans rated it the worst Trek movie a while back.

The intention of this thread is to post any movies that you think are quality but the general consensus is that they are garbage. In other words, genuinely good movies in your opinion.

Do you mean “like” as “I think it’s actually a good movie” or “like” as “I think it’s so bad that it’s good” ?

Star Trek : The Motion Picture is my favourite Trek movie.

Movies belonging to the “So bad it’s good” category :
Star Trek 5
The Christmas Tree : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1651146/

Ah, yes, add this one to my list, too.

[JEDIT]

I also forgot to mention Superman III. Out of all four of Reeve’s Superman films, it’s the only one I honestly like.

I dig the hell out of that movie, it was an honest answer from me. Most people (on the internet at least) say “Signs” is teh suck, but I’ve enjoyed it every time I’ve watched it.

This is too short of a thread to have not read it all.

*sigh* Another one I forgot to mention.

“Big Trouble in Little China”

“Exorcist III”

Wait – what? Those movies are generally considered bad?!

The exorcism 3 is considered ‘meh’ from what I understand

I don’t understand how anyone could watch Brad Dourif’s performance in that film and come away with “meh” as a response.

ST Into Darkness is definitely not generally considered to be bad. Only so by hardcore Trekkies.

Fixed that for you. I imagine the Trekkers are probably worse about it.

Is The Phantom Menace generally considered bad? I quite like it.
Howard The Duck
Superman III
Flash Gordon sometimes gets slated for its camp style and wooden acting, but I like it.
Raw Deal
Steven Seagal movies such as Hard to Kill, Marked for Death, etc.

I thought Tron Legacy was pretty great. Don’t understand why so many Tron fans hate it. Haven’t watched it in a while so maybe I should.
