Despised Films You're Happy To Defend

Whereas the scene in Temple of Doom where a man is put in a cage and slowly lowered into a pit of lava whilst screaming as some lads are chanting definitely didn't freak me the hell out as a child.

Oh, and just before this, some dude RIPS HIS FUCKING HEART OUT.

Wasn't Sphere, more or less the same film, but set underwater rather than on a spaceship. I've not seen it in a long while, but I seem to remember it being very similar.

Sphere's

also set on a spaceship, but one that's

underwater.

That and a million others, as I tried to point out before. - lost contact with previous mission, send another crew to investigate, they come upon a derelict, something sinister takes over and infests the new crew

Although your list of common elements do miss the things that I like about Sphere - the build-up to discovering the builders of the spaceship, the nature of the 'something sinister'

which isn't essentially sinister at all in Sphere

It's not terribly clever, although it's more imaginative than Event Horizon, much of the film doesn't progress very smoothly (and mostly I'm not convinced this is intentional) and a lot of the visuals don't work as well as they're supposed to. But I like the idea, and the film's a reasonable stab at it in the context of some compromises.

Okaaay ...



Saturday morning adventure stuff. I find it ludicrously entertaining.



Another that just plain entertains me. Nice first person kill scene. And great to see The Rock as a baddie. 'Big fuckin' gun!'



Not sure if this is hated, more ignored, but I think it's a cracking film.

My Mum still goes on about taking me to the cinema to see that when I was 6. She turned to me in alarm assuming I'd been traumatised by Molar Ram's anti-cardiovascular antics only to discover that "the little sod was bloody loving it." And yet I was terrified by an old woman who says 'that's fizzy' at the end of a Soda Stream advert. Funny old world.
