I don't know why people are saying "HELL NO" and such. Is it me, or do all the movies I like people hate?

Don't worry--it comes with the territory of being a teenager. A lot of the movies I liked when I was 13-16 I look back on and shudder. (Hook! The Last Action Hero! Star Wars! Oh crap, what'd I say, I'm about to get lynched....)

People's tastes expand as they grow older. And a lot of the movies you list are indeed good--Spider-Man, X-Men, some Disney movies. Good stuff. Pre-Pocahontas Disney films are usually fine films, and Pixar has yet to make a bad film.

@Raichu: Yes, Bay did Transformers, Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, The Island, The Rock and both Bad Boys movies. Of those, only The Rock is even OK. The rest is a stain on the medium in which I want to make my living.

How do you hate the Star Wars movies.... how?

And the bolded ones by bay were good imo.

Ok, I don't really hate Star Wars. But I was obsessed with the films as a teenager and now can't help but see them as deeply flawed movies whose enjoyability is owed almost entirely to the charisma and talent of Harrison Ford. Take Han Solo out of the first three films and you get the second three films. Take Ford away from the wooden acting and maudlin pathos of the Star Wars films and put him in the hands of a director with talent and you get Raiders of the Lost Ark, which is a fantastic film that actually does have in it everthing people think the Star Wars movies do.

But don't listen to me. As I've said before, I'm in film school, doing stuff towards becoming a director as my career, and as such can't help but be critical when it comes to film.
