It's so utterly nonsensical. I still make jokes about Liu Kang's hair. "Space! Infinite empty vastness, the dust of millenia undisturbed by atmospheric motion. Life cannot survive in this barren place, nor would it want to be subjected to such eternal stasis. And Liu's hair spontaneously goes 'wooshbounce' like on a shampoo commercial."Howard the Duck - I saw this on TV a while back. Well, when I say "I saw" I mean it was on, and I can remember bits of it, but I must have left the room; and when I say "a while back" I mean the most interesting part of the movie was when I came back in and a news update came up on the bottom of the screen announcing Princess Diana's sudden death. Then the movie ended.Scream - ironic postmodern comment or whatever, I hated it. Only movie I've ever walked out of. It says something about the state of psychology in filmmaking when there's an entire genre dedicated to teen slashing, and what it says isn't good. (On the plus side, it's certainly given me a unique piece of demonology...)This Island Earth - more famous (presumably) as the basis for a MST3K. If it hadn't had the wisecracks it'd have been utterly pointless. And nonsensical. As it is, it's an enduring classic for the ages. Doubly so, because of an unfortunate incident with a faulty VCR and episodes of Digimon. You had to be there, but it was awesome. I should burn it to DVD or something...Any number of Dolph Lundgren or Jean Claude Van Damme movies, where you look at characters or scenery and wonder how long until they get broken, because that's all they're there for.Roger Moore's Bond movies. Some were merely passable, some were completely absurd. I hope to never see Bond jump a bridge in a fire engine again. That was stupid. Cool, but still stupid, was Moonraker, where astronauts all have laser guns because it's in space. Not implausible for Bond, but why didn't anyone on the ground have laser guns? It makes no sense.The D&D movie wasn't too bad, but it would have been a million times better if the dragons had been D&D dragons. Y'know, talking instead of roaring mindlessly. And let's not get into the beholder thing.Now, on the list of movies that some people hated but I liked, I have to mention Final Fantasy. That was a great movie, but apparently people didn't have the right mindset to 'get' it. Spawn was an OK movie too; but I like the TV series much better (they made a major character white in the movie, don't know why; at least The Matrix universe has a realistic cross-section of humanity).</blockquote>
