Movies you saw/loved as a kid, only to realize how terrible they are later

One that is still embarassing to admit is Batman & Robin. Yeah, the one that almost killed the Batman movie franchise, i loved that shite as a 7-10 year old.

Arnold throwing out Puns and a whole scene of a guy singing that christmas song? Ate it up. The Batman credit card? Genius!! Bane as a big dummy that walks around saying "bane..bane.."? Dude what a badass.







Then fast forward to a couple years ago, after i see people just ripping it apart on the internet (honestly just shocking to me) i decide to rewatch. And what in the ever living frick i guess i was too young notice the homoerotic nut shots that went on for like 10 minutes in the batcave and how bad Clooney was. I was obviously way too clueless on Batmans real history other than his parents died. I really dont see how i didnt have a problem with Batman ice skating through gothom. It all made such sense at the time


There, ive admitted my childly movie sin, now your turn

Krull, I loved that movie as a kid. I watched it a few weeks ago and realized how cheesy horrible it really was.

Super Mario Brothers, Jingle All The Way, and Space Jam come to mind.

I had terrible taste as a kid. I thought that the Phantom Menace was the best Star Wars film at one point. :shudders:

I also thought that a sequel was by default always better.

My favorite movie as a kid was Ghostbusters.

I'm sorry that your taste in movies sucked.

It was entertaining. People should realize that not all movies are made to win Oscars. Some are just fun and there's a place for those. Just sayin'

This this this. Especially the second part. Sequels had to be better. It was basically a law. Why would they make them if they weren't better? Kid logic

Noone is comparing WWW to Schindlers List.

WWW was a bad movie. Comparable films that were good? The Mummy, John Carter, Tintin.

Not a movie, but I loved the tv show Air Wolf. Watched it a few weeks ago And couldn't get through a whole episode.

I liked Wild Wild West. And Attack of the Clones. The second one is more embarrassing. I didn't realize how much Hayden Christensen sucked arse.

Just had a fodness for the trading cards growing up so I guess I remembered the movie fondly. That was until I watched it again recently and realized how incredibly bad it actually was.
