they're the movies some continue to love
and others love to hate so enjoy it stop
crying
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we're
counting down our picks for the top 10
movies with massive backlash everyone in
North Korea will be watching for this
list we are taking a look at movies that
were highly acclaimed when they first
came out but have since received an
adverse reaction from a large section of
the audience I know this seems like a
scary thing it's not just because the
film incurs backlash doesn't necessarily
mean it's bad or undeserving of its
initial praise you get me what I need
I'll see to it you get your legs bent
when you rotate home the universal love
these films once had however is now
contested by equally passionate distaste
however we're excluding films that
received backlash from their directors
writers or people they might have been
based on so I had a fight in the mill
your Black Panther Party number 10
Shakespeare in Love Romeo Romeo
a young man Verona a comedy by William
Shakespeare as it is a well made funny
and romantic film Shakespeare in Love
would probably get much less grief had
it come out in a lesser year for movies
you will know tell
as I love you and as you love me you
will find my breast and buy me a boys
wig unfortunately its lasting appeal has
been diminished by the fact that it
allegedly stole best picture from Saving
Private Ryan do my duty my lord
many feel Steven Spielberg's war epic
has held up better over time even
Harrison Ford looked displeased when he
opened the Oscar envelope this changed
to meet like Romeo and Juliet
Shakespeare in love might have started
as a comedy but its lifespan has ended
in tragedy
[Music]
number nine the Twilight franchise what
does that mean
after Stephenie Meyer's bestseller got
the big screen treatment half of the
human population rejoiced while the
other half was indifferent believed that
the more attention Twilight got and the
more MTV Movie Awards at one the more
annoyed people became I don't care that
annoyance quickly turned to feverish
anger as if the franchise was Satan's
spawn while even once diehard fans are
starting to admit Twilight received more
success than it deserves
it's also possible we've given it more
hate than it deserves why did you hate
me so much when we met at least we can
all agree Bella does not deserve any
happiness we shouldn't be friends it
really should have figured that out a
little earlier number eight The Hobbit
an unexpected journey I'm looking for
someone to share in an adventure
although most of us knew the Hobbit
didn't need to be three movies we were
just excited to revisit middle-earth and
went along on Bilbo's unexpected journey
an adventure
at first it was fun to see Gandalf and
Gollum again after sitting through the
trilogy's following chapters however
Peter Jackson was officially trying our
patience because the Hobbit began as a
relatively short children's novel many
concurred this drawn-out adaptation had
more filler than a never ending soap
opera not the stuff of legend
perhaps a director's cut or better yet a
fan cut is in order I wish you all the
luck in the world
[Music]
really do what was also unexpected was
the mixed result over the new 48 frames
per second tech used with many
moviegoers finding it less than an
improvement so beard number seven signs
kearson moon stretch on neither can
handle classroom bloggers just as M
night Shyamalan has endured one of the
most brutal backlashes of all time so
have several of his movies the aliens
carried her lunch signs was an enormous
critical and financial success when it
came out seemingly cementing sheindlin's
legacy as a master storyteller won't let
anything bad happen to you
Kanoe each turn then folks started to
think about the film's plot and realized
several things didn't add up don't think
I like water it's hard to believe we
initially overlooked the idea that water
and puny weapons defeated these superior
ly intelligent aliens swing away with
this in mind many people can't get
through signs now without laughing
hysterically number six Forrest Gump a
[Applause]
box-office sensation and winner of six
Oscars Forrest Gump remains one of the
most iconic quotable and beloved films
of the past few decades congratulations
how do you feel in recent years though
it's also gotten a fair deal of flak
part of that is because it won the Best
Picture prize over pulp fiction and the
Shawshank Redemption both of which have
aged like fine wine critics have
additionally condemned the film
sentimentality and the title characters
dimness I'm not a smart man but I know
what love is well a movies like a box of
chocolates you never know what you're
gonna get my mom always said life was
like a box of chocolates you never know
what you're going to get number 5
transformers you think I'm shallow
fanboys didn't know what to think when
it was announced that Michael Bay would
be helming the live-action Transformers
movie but they knew they'd see it anyway
my name is Optimus Prime we are
autonomous robotic organisms from the
planet Cybertron although it was
irrefutable mindless entertainment the
masses were sucked in by the
blockbusters solid action humor
and visuals you got a high-rise double
pump carburetor that's pretty impressive
Sam double pump it squirts the fuel in
so you can go faster
oh you go fast with each passing sequel
however it became clear that they had
nothing new to offer he simply doesn't
seem to realize that making a movie
louder doesn't make it better
be getting this now all the Transformers
films blend together as one ceaseless
array of mind-numbing explosions number
four gravity right out of the airlock
people hailed gravity as a cinematic
triumph admit one thing
can't beat the view everyone was
universally blown away by the film
special effects but some complained that
the story was as hollow as space North
America just lost their Facebook they
also argued that the smaller the screen
you watched it on the less spectacular
the experience would be so is gravity
just flashy IMAX porn while the visuals
admittedly outshine the dialogue many
people still look beyond the film
stunning surface to see the astronomical
body of emotions at its core
number three crash look I know what you
did was the right thing okay I was
humiliated
although Brokeback mountains seemed
preordained to win the 78th Academy
Award for Best Picture a select group of
people were rooting for Paul Haggis
ossible drama about racial tension to
pull an upset but if the white person
sees two black men walking towards her
and she turns and walks in the other
direction she's a racist right well the
little movie that could crashed the
Oscars and its supporters immediately
jumped ship now when people discuss the
most unworthy Best Picture winners crash
is typically the easy answer with many
calling it traffic for dummies I mean
you're the expert here but to me it
means false if you're one of those few
people that stand by the Academy's
choice though we won't judge you and
that's evidence of racial discrimination
did you notice that our waitress was
black number two
Titanic eject awesome
rooster would be hit it's possible for a
movie to become too successful Titanic
being an evident example the film broke
all kinds of records at the box office
and the Oscars but James Cameron's
unsinkable hit didn't stop there for the
longest time it was impossible to go
anywhere without seeing Titanic being
referenced play
once the world finally got sick of it
they really really got sick of it
be that as it may chances are you saw
Titanic in theaters multiple times any
film that accomplishes that must have
done something right before we unveil
our number one pick here are a few
honorable mentions
I taught mayor Hartsfield out of this
same book I sure do thank you Miss Daisy
it's not a Christmas present good
morning Starshine the earth says hello
Oh sonic say number one
avatar who'd you expect numbnuts the
bigger the movie the bigger the backlash
seeing how avatar is currently the
highest-grossing film ever it suffered a
behemoth backlash unlike any other
outstanding paralleling Titanic avatar
has gone from reigning at the box office
to being the most heavily criticized
entity online this is a place for
prayers to be heard
[Music]
and sometimes answer bloggers and
commenters alike can't stand the notion
that a movie with such simplistic themes
and a cliched story made over two
billion dollars dips down
regardless there are still plenty of pro
blue people who proudly defend the film
guaranteeing this franchise is just
getting warmed up
[Music]
