yea I agree...now all these historical movies are putting the love stories as the focus, and screwing around w/ actual history to put it as a nice background scenery, it kinda annoys me...I mean, does EVERY single movie based on history HAVE to have some kinda love story in it? *rolls eyes*

Tell me about it. Yeesh.....
Well said! Hated Pearl Harbour...bloody hell.Originally posted by Mike Liu
I couldn't stand Pearl Harbor because it bastardized history. In its quest to make more money from the Japanese, they totally washed it down and made it seem like the Japanese were just honorable people forced into the war. Bunch of BULL if you ask me.
Also hated Lord of the Rings (please don't shoot me) but everyone around me loves that movie. I also hate anything with Sandra Bullock in it.

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is full of crap!!!
brings shame to me as an Asian, even if theres tonnes of Westerners loving it....how can Ang Lee tarnish Wuxia rep like this???? GGRRRR, i feel like kicking him real bad when i saw the movie!
ALL Jackie Chan movies....he cant act at all....should call himself stuntman rather than actor, even martial art instructor sounds good on him..but definitely not ACTOR! ....makes me wanna puke when seeing his new movies trailers on TV....and people go 'Oohh...aahahhhh..." on him...yuck!
Lord of The Rings...BORING!!!!!

I raged over:
1. Titanic -- all I remember (despite the cheesiness) was how come at the beginning the director exposed the DOGS (even the fact that they defecate in the lower class deck) while during the chaos we didn't even hear a *bark*...(yeah, I'm a dog lover). My friend wanted to buy me the DVD for a present and I requested Beauty and the Beast instead.
2. Pearl Harbor -- need I say more, totally boring.
3. Ace Ventura -- eeekkkkkk.
4. Austin Powers -- I never actually watch this coz I puke already seeing the trailer.
When I wake up in the morning I always remind myself to 'Seize the Day.'
oh yeah, u mean like Rambo huh.....making him honourable person forced into the war....whole bunch of BULL if u ask me....worse than Japanese bull, that is.....Originally posted by Mike Liu

Pulp Fiction: Practically everyone I know praises this movie to no end, but I didn't think it was that great.

Yeah, I didn't like Pearl Harbor either, that love triangle in "Pearl Harbor" was really
Titanic, all the Matrix movies, and White Chicks.
Hm? Did others like the movie? From all I know, only a couple of people I knew did.Originally Posted by Omniflame

that movie was rubbish. I didn't laugh one bit. I can't believe it won an award (can't remember what though..). The only good bit was the dog. People seem to endlessly praise it though...bah!
All that's needed to say have been said, why say anything more? The man is drunk, why stay any longer?....

Don't you dare throw nasty words at me, people. Just MY opinion. I should have the freedom to dislike them, right?
