Yep, they pissed all over Spock's character just to a role reversal that they thought was clever and was anything but.

The 2009 Star Trek is the one people like because they thought it was setting up for new things afterward (it's even set in an alternate reality, so all kinds of things may happen!). Then they saw Into Darkness, a lazy remark without aliens, and Beyond, an unremarkable action movie without aliens, and realised the bland truth. Gone are the sci-fi mysteries. The Enterprise chases terrorists now and these movies are called Star Trek because people have heard of Star Trek.

Add me to the fans of the Dalton Bond movies, not sure why they aren't liked!

I thought the 3009 Star Trek was pretty poor. It hit many of the same beats as Nemesis, which people blame for killing the franchise off for a while. In keeping with the theme of the thread, I quite like Nemesis. And I thought Beyond was a bit more in keeping with Star Trek.

License to Kill is one of my favourites. Awesome villain in Sanchez, Bond gone rogue, violence, the tanker chase and a bit of Del Toro...delicious!
Super Troopers.
I watched it again the other month and it is ****ing awful. No idea how it is considered a cult classic by some.
Couldn't get past the first 5 minutes.

They are 2 completely different movies though.
Which I think is what makes both of them so brilliant.

Caught that on TV the other night. Still loved it, as I did back in the late 90s.

Vertigo- massive Hitchcock fan, it's been voted as one of the greatest movies of all time and personally found it uninteresting and lacked his trademark suspense.

I think Roger Ebert theorised Vertigo was voted #1 because of a general Hitchcock appreciation. It never wowed me like Citizen Kane managed to do, or even some of Hitchcock's other own films did (it's no Rear Window). I even enjoy Body Double more than Vertigo (and De Palma in general).

If thats the case I think North by Northwest, Psycho or Rear Window would have been more appropriate.

It's a decent movie but a bit overrated. The best parts are probably Stiller in the nursing home.
edit - it was always hard to get out at the video shop when it came out, and the guy that plays Shooter is also great.
It is time to stop now, Mac.
I've been slowly trying to rate every movie I've ever seen on imdb over the last month (which is even sadder when I type it out!) and the ones that everyone else really loves that I just don't like at all are:
1. Kill Bill Vol 1 - One looooooong fight scene with no story and was really boring.
2. Mad Max Fury Road - They just drive in one direction, then simply turn around and go back. Huh.
3. The Master - Ummm ... it was intriguing in some ways I guess, but I hated it.
4. The English Patient - I normally enjoy slow-burn dramas but this was quite possibly the most boring film I've ever seen. Fargo isn't the best movie ever (don't get me wrong, I love it!), but was certainly a more deserving winner of the Oscar.
5. Team America - I wish I loved this because everyone I know does and often quote it. I just didn't find it funny. At all.
6. Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid - Didn't care about any of the characters and they took way too long trying to get me to care.
7. Four Weddings & A Funeral - Probably because I can't stand Andie Macdowell mostly.
8. American Beauty - I have a feeling I might enjoy this more second time around, but almost wakes out of the cinema because it was so painfully self-aware.
