I’m convinced that some people hate a movie just because it’s “cool” to hate on it.

Half the time, it feels like most people haven’t seen it and are just going along with the crowd.

Some moviegoers have had enough and are putting their foot down, and we agree with them. These are the movies that did not deserve any of the hate they received.

The Living Daylights and Licence to Kill

The biggest issue with Timothy Dalton as James Bond is that he’s not Sean Connery or Roger Moore.

As time has moved on, and with the popularity of Daniel Craig’s take on the character, more people have come to appreciate the Dalton movies.

Joe Versus the Volcano

It’s not the first Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan you may think of (Sleepless in Seattle), and arguably, it’s not even the second (You Got Mail).

Having said that, Joe Versus the Volcano has aged well as a quirky romantic comedy that would have fared far better if it were released today.

Tron Legacy

Did we need a sequel to Tron? Probably not, and I’m willing to bet that a lot of people put a little too much hype on this thing.

It’s nothing deep or profound, but Tron Legacy is still a stylish, impressive-looking movie with a fantastic soundtrack.

John Carter

Fans of John Carter will rightfully defend this movie until the day they die.

It suffered from a poor marketing campaign and never had the chance to recover, though it would become a beloved cult classic today.

The Village

Speaking of poor marketing, it’s a consistent problem with a lot of M. Night Shyamalan’s films after The Sixth Sense: they’re all marketed as horror movies.

If you can avoid that mindset before seeing The Village, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Waterworld

The impossible is happening: Waterworld is in the middle of a critical reassessment.

Is it still one of the biggest box office flops of all time? Absolutely. Is it the worst movie ever made? Of course, not, and more people are starting to come around now that the toxicity surrounding the movie’s release has disappeared from pop culture.

Hudson Hawk

If you go into Hudson Hawk expecting another Bruce Willis action film, you’re going to be disappointed.

However, if you’re expecting an offbeat comedy, you’ll end up having a great time. This may be the most fun Willis ever had making a movie.

Grandma’s Boy

Sometimes, critics and audiences just aren’t in alignment. This is one of those times.

No matter how poorly reviewed late ’90s and mid-2000s comedies may be, they’re some of the funniest, most enjoyable films you’ll ever watch.

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within

As a gamer growing up in the ’90s, I remember the amount of hype this movie received, only for it to fall flat on its face.

It’s a perfectly fine sci-fi film, and if it had been released without the connection to the Final Fantasy series, it would have been far better received.

The Matrix: Reloaded

The Matrix sequels rightfully get plenty of criticism; Revolutions is bad, and Resurrection is downright unwatchable.

The Matrix: Reloaded is where things start to dip in quality, but man, those action sequences are still fantastic today.
