I think as kids when starved for more film adaptations of your favorite characters you often ended up just accepting what was presented. --- Are you not....entertained!? <cite>Snake posted [p:986473761] in movies you...

I can't comment on how well it's aged, though, both because it's been decades since I've seen it and because I'm not actually sure which of the 3(?) versions it was that I saw and therefore would have to do some real digging to find the same one. --- This is my signature.

bachewychomp 09/20/25 11:48:45 AM #11:	I don't know what I thought was a masterpiece, but I definitely liked just about every movie as a kid. Isn't that the norm? At least up to a certain age. When I say liked every movie, I mean that more like I didn't really think of movies as being "bad". There were movies that I didn't like because I thought they were scary or upsetting (I remember Jurassic Park scared me too much). Anyway, I haven't seen them since I was a kid, but some movies I remember enjoying that I'm sure must be bad now include Mystery Men, Inspector Gadget, Flubber... oh I just remembered Space Jam as one that I actually did rewatch as an adult and it sucks ass <cite>bachewychomp posted [p:986475261] in movies you...

ParanoidObsessive 09/20/25 1:52:40 PM #14:	I can't really think of any movies per se, but I do know the original He-Man cartoon was something I really enjoyed as a kid, but then looking back on it now as an adult you realize just how bad it was. Especially when you compare it to some contemporary cartoons that aged much better, like GI Joe, Real Ghostbusters, or even the later Batman: The Animated Series. Shows that were so well-written you can still kind of enjoy them as an adult, rather than just rolling your eyes and asking "How the hell did I watch this crap as a kid?" bachewychomp posted... I definitely liked just about every movie as a kid. Isn't that the norm? I loathed ET as a kid. I saw it in the theater as a 6-year old, and I hated it so very, very much. I was pretty much throwing tantrums because I wanted to leave (but we couldn't because my mother didn't drive us there, we were there with my aunt and my cousin and they didn't want to leave), at one point I was just wandering up and down the aisle to have something to do - I almost certainly made that movie hell for everyone else trying to watch it. I can't even give it the benefit of the doubt and say something like "Well, it's just because I was just too young to be in a theater, attention span, etc etc", because less than a year later I was watching the Star Wars movies (my local theater re-released the first two as part of the lead-up to Return of the Jedi) and I was enthralled. The problem was definitely ET itself. I still don't like it, even though I've come around on plenty of other movies from the era that I didn't like at the time (mostly things that were too adult/complex for a kid to really appreciate). Hell, I enjoyed the Atari ET game (the one of the legendary landfill/direct cause of the Video Game Crash of 1983 fame) more than I enjoyed the movie. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:986476467] in movies you...

This CGI remains undefeated I hated that CGI so much. It was pretty much the reason why I've never watched that series, in spite of the fact that, from what I've heard/seen years later on the Internet, the writing was actually pretty good (and still tied into the G1 continuity, unlike so many other shitty Transformers spinoff seasons). Reboot suffered the same problem for me. I knew people who loved it as kids, but I'll never know if it was good or not because I can't bring myself to watch more than 30 seconds of it.

Icegoten200 09/20/25 9:52:01 PM #27:	I remember my introduction to The Warriors. I first saw a clip of it on TV like in a mojo ranking style show of Luther doing the thing with the bottles saying "Warriors come out to play" and described it to my dad because I was curious. Didn't watch it then but some time later randomly some dubstep song used Cyrus' speech in the build up. The audio sounded like something that came from the 80s or 90s so I asked my dad if he recognized it. That was now two separate occasions I heard about parts of the movie and the speech made my imagination spin with what kind of movie it could have been. So we watched it together and I thought it was really cool. Over a decade later I showed my friends because I was telling them about the PS2 game and it was not as hyped up to them as it was for me. I felt bad for talking it up like it was so cool when most of that came from my own personal experience. --- Discord: icegoten Add me if you want to play any older game together.

They released an 8 part documentary on the making of Reboot recently and everybody involved said they'd come back and do it again. They never want to let go of the possibility of finishing the show so still keep their original ideas for ending it under wraps.
