I don't hate them, but I find Tim Burton's Batman movies to be underwritten, if not outright badly written films with next to no plot and too little explanation or exploration of the character motivations, plus I think Michael Keaton is seriously overrated as 'the Bat-whisperer.' But the Danny Elfman score saves the film. Honestly, I find that Batman Forever works better as a Batman film and as a film in general, even if it's not so good itself.

Also on the Tim Burton subject, I can't understand the appeal of Edward Scizzorhands. If there's one 'acclaimed' movie which I am closer to hating than liking or being indifferent to, that is it. The best Burton movie in my opinion is 1 he didn't even direct, the Nightmare before Christmas.

The first 2 Bryan Singer X-Men films. I don't dislike them, but I find the action scenes to be so boring and the films to be so humorless that I don't understand the praise they get. Nightcraweler attacking the White House is the only decent action scene in either movie. At least X-Men 3 The Last Stand had moments of popcorn fun even if they butchered Phoenix.
