[QUOTE=BanthaFodder;36294642]I ruined the suspense (which would have happened anyway, considering I saw Aliens first), but everything else was thoroughly enjoyable.

It's kinda like James Bond; British secret agent kills bad guys, escapes from death traps, and bangs hot women.
But knowing this doesn't mean you still shouldn't watch Goldfinger.[/QUOTE]
Alien is about the suspense leading into the scenes.
By watching the "alien bursting" scene before knowing what happened, basically ruins your experience as a whole. At least you accept that you ruined the suspense, but if that doesn't matter to you, then that's fair enough.
I've never seen Blade Runner.
I generally enjoy all the Star War's movies with a few exceptions such as JarJar and the ~love story~
I LOVE watching the scene in Toy Story 2 when Woody is getting repaired.
Well I assumed, when I first saw it, that Drag Me To Hell would have terrible reviews, and it would be forgotten very qucikly.
But then I found out that it has a 93% score on Rotton Tomatoes

I cannot be the only person that fucking hated this movie. It was absolutely terrible. I have no idea how anyone can find it entertaining.
It's probably why I have never seen anything from the Evil Dead series, everyone says they're really similar in style of horror comedies.
It's only terrible if you didn't like The Evil Dead movies.

Funny thing is, I knew about the Chestburster as long as I can remember.
It's weird, like [sp]"Luke, I am your father."[/sp], I can't remember an exact moment when I found out, I just always kinda knew.
I have seen forrest gump over 30 times.
Every major movie that Tom Hanks stars in is instantly one of my top watched movies.
I have seen Saving Private Ryan over 30 times as well.

This is true, but unlike Star Wars which is kind of a "space epic fantasy" rather than a psychological suspense sci fi I would feel uneasy knowing what leads up to a scene that I'd already seen. Oh well.

rotten tomatoes is the worst. it makes no sense. the actual score it got was 7.6 (average rating). the percentage they show mean nothing.

[QUOTE=DJK;36275421]I have never watched a movie and not liked it.[/QUOTE]
you either have low standards, or only watch good movies (which i doubt)
I actually kinda like The Lost World, even after the NC review made me raise too many eyebrows and absolutely hate the characters.
I've never seen any of the Matrix movies.
I still watch every movie in the Halloween series at least once a month.
I hate LOTR (Yeah, yeah, fuck you too).
I think Adam Sandler is a [I]pretty cool guy[/I].
I personally can't stand Freddy Krueger.

No, the percentage shows what fraction of reviews are generally positive

yeah that fight scene was so well choreographed it just has to be shit
I saw braindead when i was 8 years old. Mom made spaghetti that day, i couldn't eat a thing. It's also the only movie i'm afraid to watch again.

which means a movie could have 100% but have a score of 5/10

is this post an absolute joke?
Drag Me To Hell is an excellent horror comedy. It's funny and hammy on purpose. It's mocking the horror genre while being a genuinely frightning film at the same time. the irony of it is that the only people who thought it was stupid were the ones too stupid to realise it was a comedy.
The Evil Dead is what first did this but it was more serious. Evil Dead 2 is the greatest comedy horror of all time and an all time favourite. It's the cult movie of cult movies.
If you haven't seen them dont spew such disgusting filth you make me ashamed to be a human
I liked Street Fighter.
I'd probably go on to say its the most entertaining Video Game film, though that's not a tough feat.

I actually got a dvd copy of that.
I still firmly believe that Van Damme as Guile is a miscast that will never EVER be topped.

Does anyone really consider 50% to be favorable

By the way Belgium has Three official languages. Dutch that the people in the upper half of Belgium speak. French that the people in lower half speak and German that somewhere near Germany.
Van Damme (Who speaks French) is from Brussels Where they speak both.

Delicious waffles.
I liked Revenge of the Nerds
A lot.
Also I can't stand Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Loved Clerks, though.
