My Favorite Poorly-Reviewed Movie Is On Right Now

[THUNDER HANDS]

Waterworld. A movie that nearly every critic said was the most horrible thing ever made.

Personally, I really enjoyed it and always enjoy watching it when it comes on.

Any other closet Waterworld fans out there?

BTW, its on USA right now.

1. I don't like that movie

but I know what you're talking about as far as liking "crappy" movies goes. I love Battlefeild Earth, but all the critics say it sucks.

3. i didn't hate that one either

maybe I just love sucky movies. Tremors is also one of my favs. :D

14. The original Tremors yes

The 2nd 3rd and apparently there's a fourth, I'll have to say no. the series is also horrible, and that's comming from the guy who watches the sci fi channel more than anything else. :)

2. It has my favorite stupid action scene of all time..

The perfect snatch and grab balloon bungee jump. Utterly ridiculous.

The critics were right, it's a terrible movie. To each his/her own I guess. :)

4. Yeah, although I like the Postman more

I give science fiction movies a lot more leeway than non-SF flicks.

Wasn't too excited about Waterworld. For some reason, hearing that Costner delayed release to use CGI to address his receding hairline kinda turned me off.

Odd how he went from Field of Dreams and Dancing With Wolves to straight up apocalyptic action flicks.

6. The Postman was pretty good

I think that got better reviews than Waterworld though. But oddly, I thought it had a worse premise.

7. I liked the backstory of Waterworld

There were some nice touches, like the gills. Pretty well thought out. The Postman's premise was definitely more straightforward. But hey, it had Tom Petty, and I always liked the video for "You Got Lucky"...

5. I loved it!

I mean...I thought it was creative :shrug:

8. I hate to say it, but it did not suck.

I've spent a couple of afternoons crashed out on the sofa watching those freaks, it's decent entertainment.

9. They said it was like the worst movie ever thats just not true, I mean it

wasn't the best, but was it really THAT bad? No, They should watch 'In the Year 2889' Now that is a steaming pile of.... well you know

10. I liked the Postman better

and no, I have NOT read the book, so stop asking me that.

12. I've got a thing for Jeanne Tripplehorn

:shrug:

13. I think it was ripped apart because of its budget

They had a lot of problems shooting it and it kept going over budget. At the time, they were expecting it to be another Heaven's Gate. It actually did decent box office worldwide.
