films you thought would suck but didn't
have you seen any films that you thought would suck and only watched them to how much it sucked only to find out that it didn't suck and was infact unsucky.
heres some of mine...
waterworld - i watched it only because it got such bad reviews i wanted to see why and i discovered that it wasn't as bad as they said by any means.
death to smoochy - again, got such bad reviews but i watched it anyway and i found it quite amusing.
shanghai noon - really not a jackie chan fan so i avoided this one until one day when i was bored out of my skull and i found myself really liking this.
i know theres more but thats all i can think of atm.

The Matrix Revolutions.
Attack of the Clones.
I'm not that into movie-watching, especially ones I think will 'suck', so I don't have a much longer list. ^^;;

WHAT THE HELL!? This movie blew so much ass, there's no more ass to blow. Overly preachy. and BORING.

Battle is a pure form of expression. It is heart and discipline, reduced to movement and motion. In battle, the words are swept away, giving way to actions-- mercy, sacrifice, anger, fear. These are pure moments of expression.

Sorry duder, but Waterworld was the worst big budget movie ever and I'm a professional bad movie watcher. I own at least 15 dvds/videos of movies filmed with camcorders...that had the date and time display TURNED ON. These movies aspire to be like the "bad movies" you've seen.

Shangai Noon, Rush Hour 2, many that I can't think of.
Vader's wife was very pregnant when she died 19 years ago. All of a sudden a 19 year old who is very strong in the force and has a distinct resembalance to him in his younger days rolls in from Vader's home planet with his old Master Obi-Wan (Who was the ONLY other person preset at the time his wife died. And to boot, the kid's last name is Skywalker.
So in answer to your question, he knew Luke was his son because his name is Darth Vader, and not Darth Retard.

Rush Hour 2 was more because it was a sequel, Shangai Noon because IMO the original plot sounded a bit stupid, I hadn't seen a trailer only what a friend told me.

I was dragged kicking and screaming by my fiance to go see My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but I must say, I found it slightly amusing, thus it wasn't a complete waste of time.
I got my revenge by making her go see The Hulk with me.

I've never laughed as hard as I did at Shanghai Noon. Great stuff.
I had no clue what I was getting into when I went to see Moulin Rouge. Chase dragged me to see it. I really enjoyed it.

LOVE Amelie.
I didn't think it would suck, but I didn't think it would be anything special either, so I guess it counts.

I hated Shanghai Noon... I can't stand Owen Wilson. I hate his characters. He plays Micheal Kelso-esque dumbass in every movie I've seen him. He replaced Ben Stiller as my least favorite actor. *not looking forward to Starsky and Hutch*
But despite all that, I still loved Shanghai Knights. *shrugs*

One I avoided for weeks at Blockbuster, but finally ran out of alternatives:
"Reign of Fire" (w/Keifer Sutherland I think)
That was really a good movie -- much to my surprise.
Another: "Signs" (w/Mel Gibson)
I didn't think I'd like it -- I really don't go for alien flix -- SURPRISE it's not really about the aliens, but How God works in mysterious and providential ways (all things have a plan, purpose etc.) This is now one of my favs!

I totally agree on this one, I liked it so much I bought a used copy of it from the video store for like 6 bucks.
Goth O_o It was very......strange, but at least somewhat tolerable and it had more of a point then I thought it would. Best moment - when this goth wanna be is pokin' this chick right in front of his g/f because the goth chick told him to do it or she would kill him. lol

I just saw one: Pitch Black. I got dragged, kicking and screaming all the way to my friends living room. I thought it would be another sucky alien rip-off, but I actually enjoyed it alot
Vader's wife was very pregnant when she died 19 years ago. All of a sudden a 19 year old who is very strong in the force and has a distinct resembalance to him in his younger days rolls in from Vader's home planet with his old Master Obi-Wan (Who was the ONLY other person preset at the time his wife died.
