It got great reviews, and it made over 500 million at the box office. I'd say it's popular.

The Room By Tommy Wiseau is a personal Favorite of mine, a cult film classic. He tries to play it off as a comedy but it he made it as a drama. There is a book written on the Production on The Room called The Disaster Artist. Also there is a movie theater near me that plays The Room every year on April Fools day.

I quite enjoyed John Carter even though everyone hated it. I also thought Terminator: Salvation was better than the original.

I suppose you're entitled to your opinion, but I did NOT care for the camera work in Salvation. They could've backed it up and held it still and made a halfway decent movie, but instead they gave us an incomprehensible clusterfuck.

I will, however, say that both Judgment Day and Rise of the Machines were better than the original IMO.

I didn't even notice the camera work in Salvation being anything unusual. I don't usually pay much attention to the technical aspects of filming a movie.

Judgement Day was my favorite of the series though.

I noticed because every time anything even remotely resembling action occurred I couldn't tell what the fuck was going on.

Judgement Day was my favorite of the series though.

I like the setting, i liked the alien design, i liked the supporting prison characters and all round thought it was a decent movie. Not as good as Alien or Aliens but not terrible.

If Alien 3 had followed Alien, it would be hailed as an amazing sequel. But it had Aliens to live up to. Alien 3 is actually rather good, but is looked down upon simply because the first two were so good.

Resurrection? It doesn't exist, comrades.

Very underrated. Gets way too much hate, is very much so bad it's good (IMO, obviously). Enjoyed it much more than zigra

Very silly, gamera gets to fight all his enemies to date, and gamera commits a heroic sacrifice at the end. It's a great mashup of the previous movies.


Man, I'm gonna have to say that popular opinion is right on the nose with that one. Gamera: Super Monster is so bad that it had me appreciating the finer points of Godzilla's Revenge and I hate that movie too.


Well, I certainly enjoyed it more than zigra (i had watched all the other movies, and i thought zigra was going to be shorter).

It maybe the worst gamera movie, but that's what makes it the best (IMO). James Rolfe likes it, too (or at least thinks it's good to watch if you dont have time for all the others) (oh, and he hated Godzilla's revenge, too). It maybe a bad movie, but it's a great celebration of the character. (BTW, i watched the subtitled version. If you didn't like the dub, try the sub. Also I haven't seen all monsters attack (AKA Godzilla's revenge))

Anyone else enjoy it (including in a so bad it's good way)? Or at least found it fascinatingly bad?

Loved the original one in Swedish. That movie defined my childhood. A certain modern replicator *BLQAUGH*twilight*HAUGFH* doesn't hold a candle up to the emotional power it presented.
