Why we hate these popular movies!

from How We Heard It · host howweheardit

Every popular movie has a dedicated group of haters, whether it's the Oscar winner that few people saw, the critical favorite that left everyone depressed or the box-office smash with the formulaic plot and predictable ending. Although the hosts of "How We Heard It" consider themselves big movie fans, they have their limits. So in this week's episode they reveal what movies disappointed them, made them angry or actually prompted them to walk out of the theater or turn off the TV. Some of these movies were celebrated with awards by Hollywood insiders when much better films should have won. Some of them were critically acclaimed far beyond merit. And some of them were terrible "popcorn" movies without an ounce of originality. Then there are those inconceivably popular actors who seem to ruin everything they appear in, and absurd special effects that would draw the scorn of a 3-year-old. But your friendly hosts often disagree with each other this week, and one man's cinematic feast is something another would have swept into the compost heap. Hear them make their points and bicker with each other, and ask yourself where do you stand: Are these movies awesome or awful?
