    In fairness, the LOTR movies are such epic length, hard to rewatch from start to finish in one sitting.

    Same reason I have not seen any of the Harry Potter movies. I just don't have that kind of investment in me at this point.

    I tried showing my kids The Golden Child a few years back...yeah, that didn't hold up at all.

    Which one?

    I always was somewhat lukewarm on Gump, it was always kind of an obvious movie, I really enjoy a lot of the parts and what they tried to do historically, but still a bit obvious.

    Avatar was always kind of meh, and I love movies that are visually spectacular, but the environmental thing was always a bit heavy-handed.

    Would have loved to see it in 3d though.

    300 (but I didn't like it when it came out...it's only gotten worse overtime).

    Space Jam (Definitely!!! It wasn't even a great movie, back in the 90s).

    Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: the Movie

    The Hunchback of Notre Dame/Pocahontas/Hercules

    Nearly every Transformers film

    Justice League *ducking*






    I know some will say I am picking on 90s films, but in actuality I'm not, especially for films that were never great or even close to it. The odd thing about the 80s-2010s is there are far more films that haven't gotten any press that were great than the ones that were overrated.

    The Lord of the Rings films were almost as awful as the Star Wars prequels.

    It was amazing for the 3D tech that most people don't have at home. The plot is just Fern Gully with explosions.

    Keith David was awesome in that, as usual.
