i feel the same way, except i get made fun of for liking Twilight. :c
look, i like it but i'm not a fanatic. i don't think edward cullen is real, and i also don't want to marry him.
i just enjoy her take on vampires, really.

You have my sympathy. Twilight/fan bashing seems to be the latest fad... I never even noticed Twilight til I got fed up with everyone and their grandma complaining about how much they hate it.

I think it's pretty lame for people to obsess over stuff they hate, what a miserable thing to do to yourself. XD and it's totally rude for people to bully you for liking what you like.

YOU JUST DONT KNOW ADORABLE MOVIES WHEN YOU SEE THEM

Pff, I'm sure it would have been better if it didn't have that typical Dreamworks movie problem of having been made by Dreamworks.

So far as I personally am concerned, I see it in the same boat as Avatar. So you can see which way the plot's headed from a mile off, so what? It's an old story, turns up all over the place, and it's nice to se it well executed. That and the animation was gorgeous.

My big problem with Dreamworks films is that they have no sense of timing.

Yeah, you know, I was thinking that this movie in particular had waaay too quick of a pace.

Animated kids movies, in general, all started to suffer from this problem. I think it started with Disney in the early 90's when they became aware of the ADD generation. Pocahontas is one of the worst offenders, at least at the start of the movie.

Fast timing and "shakey cam syndrome" are the most annoying properties of movies this generation. CGI isn't really at fault for this -- it's a cultural thing that just happened to start at the advent of digital production.

red sand hurts the eyes the most

i agree to both. mr fox sucked ass, and dragon...bleh it was so-so

There is to be no dissent, dissonance, antagonism or domestic disturbance in this fandom

Opinions. They get you attacked more when you're right.

Yeah.... yeah.

I get that reaction when I say I didn't like The Godfather.

I admit, I gave that treatment to a friend of mine when I got them to play one of my favorite games, and they started criticizing it.
It's only natural to want to share something you really like, and when you do share it with someone you hope would appreciate it too, and yet get a negative response saying why they don't like it, it's a complicated feeling, but it's as though that reaction makes someone need a reason to enjoy what they did?
Perhaps it would be like someone sharing with their friends that they have a significant other, yet those friends don't believe it, or start discussing the bad qualities of that person.

Anyways, I liked that movie. There were a few parts that I thought were really cheesy, but the first time I saw it, I -really- enjoyed it. Though, I enjoyed it for reasons of my own, I immersed myself in it in my own way, I was fascinated with Vikings and dragons and the interaction between characters for my own reasons. I liked the scenery, designs, music...
It's unfortunate if a friend can't understand the reasons why I appreciate it, even moreso if it sounds like they can't enjoy any of the wonderful parts just because of an issue over a part I'd consider very small, like a cheesy line.

Sorry for the rant.

I have yet to see either movie.

Hahaha, that mob got together pretty quick. XD

They are always prepared to be angry!

People told me the same thing about Transformers -- at least before hating the movie was suddenly cool.

That also has the "ruining my childhood nostalgia" thing going on, which tends to cloud judgment.

Actually, I'll agree with that. One of the things that seems to be lacking in Dreamworks movies is the writing. But still, it was a fun movie IMO.

It was certainly entertaining, if nothing else.

I hate hearing peoples opinions about a movie before I go to see it, because I have this little tiny subconscious bias in my mind. 8c

and yeah, it sucks when people beat you up for voicing your opinion. that's why I keep my opinions locked up in that secret special place!
