Movie You Like That Others Don't & Vice Versa
Hey all, thought I would add an icebreaker in here. What's a movie you like that a lot of people don't like? What's a movie you dislike that a lot of people enjoy? For me, the answers are related in subject matter I enjoyed AI - Artificial Intelligence (2001). I really enjoyed watching the young boy's journey to find his mommy after he was deserted by his biological family many years earlier. I didn't like Ex Machina. I just couldn't get into it and I really wasn't into the dynamic between Caleb and Ava.

I love this question! For me, I think I'm the only one on the planet who didn't like "Everything Everywhere All At Once." It just never felt like it lived up to the hype -- And the humor was really hit-or-miss for me. I laughed a couple of times, but a lot of the movie felt like randomness for the sake of randomness, and it was trying to shock me with things that I see on a regular basis with shows like Rick and Morty. I loved the relationship between the mother and daughter, but I kind of lost that thread in the Matrix-style plot that wasn't as clever as it thought it was. It's not that I hated it, but I just never saw what all the hype was about. One movie that I really like is "The Last Jedi." While I totally see what people didn't like about it, all of my criticisms amount to about 7 minutes of the movie's runtime. Everything else I LOVE LOVE LOVE. I love the relationship between Rey and Luke, and Luke's arc as a hero who struggles with the hardships of becoming a master -- like he's always been the spunky young hero, but he doesn't know how to teach that after seeing everything he's seen. I love Rey learning that she has no important lineage or birthright, and having to find her value as a complete "nobody" in this story's universe. I wanted the movie to challenge my expectations in a Star Wars movie, and plant seeds for new and exciting ideas, and that's exactly what it did. Is it a perfect movie? Probably not, but it felt new and exciting.
