Have you ever saw a great movie, that others think it was so bad?

Last Saturday me and my best friend watched a comedy movie, everyone inside the theater were all laughing their hearts out. I can't even here my own laugh. So we thought it was a great movie.and I think most people did. But last night my sister and brothers went to see it. And they told me that it "OK" and when they said that it was like they're not satisfied. I was like WHAT?!! It was sooooo funny!! I even told them it received 4.5 t 5-star reviews. I'm so surprised how they reacted with this one, Have you ever been in this kind of situation?

This has happened to me on a number of movies like Star Trek, G.I Joe and Terminator Slavation. All three of the above movie I believed were great really Star Trek and Terminator Slavation because of the actors. My family and friends also have seen all three movies and they didn't like them at all because of them not having will knowown actors and actories playing the parts. The unknown actors and actories I believe made it better because you see different facies and talent. In my opinion the actor in TS the new Batman was the perfect actor to play John Cohner. In Star Tek I believe the actors and actories are all a perfect fit for the roles they are playing in this movie and in future movies that I believe will come sooner then later.

YES! Absolutely yes. It always depends on our minds when thinking about something, for this case, take movie as an example. Even if we rate one movie with 5-star, that doesn't mean anybody else thinks the way we do. I've ever watched one-winning-grammy-so-called-award, I liked the movie so much, but my friends disagreed. Well, it's always our mind which play the role of deciding which good which bad.

Yes, I have experienced something like that. Some time ago my colleague watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. She felt bored to it even though it was starring by Brad Pitt. She couldn't even finish this movie. I watched it later and to my surprise, I found it was a great movie. I cried for it. I didn't understand why my colleague even felt bored to it. Although it was a long movie, but it was worth to watch it. We have quite an opposite attitude to this movie. I love China

Well, each individual will have their own opinion when comes to judging things. So far as for movie, it was Titanic that I received mixed reviews from people around me as compared to movie critics where it was rated highly. There are people who enjoy watching this romantic and touching movie while there are also some who find the movie boring and the story line crappy.

hi ivygrey! it is a classic example of "u cannot please everybody," haha. it happens. coz some viewers were maybe focusing on the technicalities than the flow of the story or the other way around. to each his own. :)

Well I don't know, but the opposite has happened to me before. I hated the movie Transformers 2, since it was pretty boring and had too many plot holes. Same story with the movie Jumper. While everyone was raving about how wonderful it was, I just sat back and told them flat out that both of those movie sucked. A lot. The plots weren't original or good and they could've done better. Unfortunately, my classmates seem to be amazed by high tech effects and whatnot, so they're mesmerized by these movies.

Yes, this often happens to almost everyone. I mean, if we all had the same tastes the world would be a boring place after all. So what I do is not care so much for what others might think and take full pleasure out of the enjoyment I take out of a certain movie. Maybe start thinking like that, too?

This happens to me occasionally but more often I'm the one who thinks the movie is horrible while everyone else around me thinks it's the most brilliant thing ever made. Either that or I am the only person I know who has ever even heard of the movie, let alone seen it

Yup! Everyone has different opinions about something. You cannot avoid that!

hey there. Movie taste is very individual and it is impossible that we will all have the same likes and dislikes. Very often a lot of the big block busters that many people like just seem so lame to me. For wxample I hate Star Wars, that includes the old school ones. I think they are incredibly dull. I often find things funny that other people dont. I laugh a lot at inappropriate times where others may be disturbed by something and I just think its hilarious, I do have a very dark sense of humour. My friends say I have no heart because I hate romantic comedies. They love them but I cant stand the obvious ridiculous story lines and usually very bad acting. Each to their own I guess!
