What's an often hated movie/show/game that you experienced, that made you go "I get the hate, but I don't hate it myself"? And how much did you tolerate it? (thelemmy.club)

I've recently played Resident Evil 6 for the 1st time after playing Resident Evil 4 (an absolute masterpiece) & Resident 5 (a pretty good game). I was already aware of the hate this game got over the years. But after experiencing it, it's only bad in an artificial way. Like yeah, it's nothing like the classic games and it's too much in the action category.

Otherwise, as someone who loves action games, it's a pretty fun game. Especially in Mercenaries Mode, where it's fun to mow down body-horror themed enemies. As a Resident Evil game, it's pretty bad. But...as an action third person shooter with splatter punks, it's quite well executed

Sucker Punch

This was a movie that was like "hey! wouldn't it be awesome if there was a world where the nazis brought back dinosaurs to fight with- Wait! wouldn't it be cool if there was like, a world where space travel was affordable and we had a moonbase an-wait! wouldn't it be cool if there was a world where-"

And each time I'd be like "hey, there will be cool lore and world-building I'd love to see aaaand they already shifted into a different thing." That movie pissed me off so much. Shoulda just been either a softcore porn, or leaned more heavily into the idea of a real-life "Heavy Metal" remake.
