The reverse of that post I've made a week ago...

Rules: pick one movie or series and explain why you actually enjoyed it despite the criticism.

For me: The JJ Abrams Star Trek movies, by far the best ST stuff ever made, I couldn't take seriously the original universe with the dated effects and stiff acting, same goes for NG... These movies did ST actually great looking and much more believable, not just the effects.

Waterworld and Robin Hood Prince of Thieves.

Waterworld is ocean Fallout and RHPoT is fucking meme central. Plus RH is my childhood nostalgia movie, I've probably watched it over a couple hundred times just on VHS.

Waterworld is Mad Max on a boat

The pitch was probably something like "What if Mad Max but instead of sand we have water?" And the producer guy would be something like "Will the people still be dirty even with all that water?" And the screen writer guy: "Wouldn't be an post apocalyptic world if the people is not dirty"

I grew up with Men in Tights. My room mate grew up with Spaceballs. It was really fun to swap movies and show each other another Mel Brooks movie.

(If you dont treat those titles and movies, that sentence has a very different meaning)

Both feature Kevin Costner's ass
