I agree with many of the above, so I'll try to pop some new ones in.
A) Eager to see but disappointed:
"Alien Resurrection." Ugh. I wanted it to stop at Alien3, but since Sigourney Weaver was coming back as Ripley, I thought it might be good. Learned more about the cast and saw some promotional stills. "Well this might actually be pretty damn good!" Biggest letdown ever. Liked the score though.
Runners up include "Batman V Superman," "Star Wars Episode I," "Cowboys vs Aliens," and "Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull."
B) Thought I'd hate but I loved:
"Jason X." Hands down. Everything about it looked stupid and over the top, and I only saw it because I was on a date when it came out and the cinema had problems with its other two screens. It was our only option so we figured we'd go have a laugh. I don't know what she thought, but I loved every single minute of it. It knew exactly what it was and what it was doing.
C) No expectations and liked:
"Vanilla Sky." Rented this on a whim from Blockbuster shortly after it came out. I was in my teens and crushed hard on Penelope Cruz. I rented this movie solely because I just got a VCR for my bedroom and a friend told me you saw her topless. This was pre-internet (in my house anyway), so this was big news. Saw it and got lost in it...I don't know what it is about it, but it totally sucked me in.
D) Everyone loves it, I hate it:
"Lord of the Rings." I never read the books, so maybe a lot of it was lost on me. Couldn't make it through any of them (in the theater included) without falling asleep. It just felt like a bunch of people wandering around occasionally impressed by something. "Look, it's the Wall of Blurgadur!!!" ::Giant thing, wide shot, music cue:: "OK, guys, let's keep walking. We'll never see or mention that again, but we had to check it out a second."
