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.

I honestly thought Morbius was a breath of fresh air for ditching the "Self-aware, meta, woke!" trends that MCU was chasing and just told a dark transhumanist story with super heroish themes.

Like I'd rather watch Morbius again than most of the MCU films made Post-End Game.

And Warcraft really wasn't a bad movie at all, it was just bitten by the "Anything that is in the Fantasy Genre is automatically a LOTR ripoff!" bug that had been going around for awhile.

If it had came out around the time when audiences stopped caring about what critics think (Sonic's 2020 film seems to be where that started), it would have done a lot better (Sonic leading the way for video game movies being taken seriously also would have helped)...

Hell if Warcraft (2016) had come out in 2020, that would have been after Blizzard's fall from grace ("Don't you guys have phones? No? Time to shit all over the WoW lore and ruin Overwatch then!"), meaning that people would probably

Finally, I'm still firmly in the camp that in 10 years people will come around on the sequels like they did for the prequels (Last Jedi might still be considered the "Not as good" one admittedly). I can't say the same about the various "Franchise fatigue? What's that?" shows that Disney ~~kept~~ keeps greenlighting though.

"Alcolyte was a good show, but no one saw it? Damn, time to release Skeleton Crew I guess!"

I liked Madame Web.

I know in most places online that’s tantamount to saying you enjoy being mean to puppies & kittens, but I enjoyed the movie.

Why? Because of the precognition plot element. Was it as smooth & impressive as Knives Out? No, but I’m still glad I watched it.

I quite liked Kraven but all I see of it online is comparisons of which is worst that or Madam Web.

The fact I was eight years old when it was released may have had a bearing, but the Clone Wars movie.

The Lone Ranger (2013). Yeah it's at least a half hour longer than it should have been but I thought it was a fun movie

Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker is a great movie.

I don’t care what anyone else says. My son and I have rewatched the ST many times now. I really don’t see that much of a problem with the writing and direction of each film.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That movie was so stupid, awful, the blade thing is ridiculous...
