American Beauty seems to get a lot of criticism from general movie watchers.


It's a big favorite of mine though. Top 10

Fast Five actually has a 78% rating. I've never seen it or heard anyone say anything bad about it. I just thought the 1st one was the worst movie I've ever seen and never watched the others.

Both Hulk films were terrible. Even Ed Norton couldnt save that piece of shite.

It seems the Hulk pretty much ruined Norton's career.

Superman returns was not a bad movie. I don't care what any of you say.

Norton did that. He is a pain in the arse to work with or so I have read.

I actually like the second Hulk film. I don't think it is remotely as bad as the first one.

English Patient - 83% Fresh Seinfeld

A Passage to India - 85% Fresh (I've known many people over the years who concur it may be the worst movie of all time.)

I saw Passage To India as a kid. I have no idea why I was taken to see that movie. A very odd choice.

I need to watch it again as an adult to see if it is the same incomprehensible mess I remember as a child.

Same here. But I don't just attribute it to my youth. My parents hated it and the adult friends we were with and I've had collegues who have mentioned it as well..."do you remember Passage to India?" It's mythical on the bad scale.

I refuse to go back and give it another try.

Did the Indian guy rape her. If not, why in the world did she make that up? It just made no sense.

I have always wondered if I missed some subtle context as a kid. I just couldn't understand why the movie went in that direction out of the blue.

I think my dad took me to see it. He hated it too. I think he liked Lawrence of Arabia so he was hoping for something in that style.

No, she made it up. I just remember it dragging on and on and on.

It was almost 3-hours long of nothing...that's why I linked English Patient...I was like Elaine when I watched A Passage to India.

Yeah, a Top 5 film for me. Love it.

Seems like Lean had no real script but wanted to take a long trip to India.

He should know since he wrote it.

I chalk it up to senility. He was 25 years past his prime.
