7."Drop Dead Gorgeous is film genius!"

New Line Cinema

18."Maybe this is just the bisexual in me, but IDK why people dislike the new Charlie's Angels so much."

"It's fun, action packed, filled with pretty people in pretty places. Is that not what summer romps are made for?"

—janedope13

19."Armageddon is a fantastic movie. It seems to have become a movie people love to hate, and I don't know why. It has everything I want in a movie: action, comedy, a love story —and a great Aerosmith song to boot."

Buena Vista Pictures

"Who cares if it's not scientifically accurate and a bit campy."

—nicy2

—leoness13

28."The Aladdin remake got so much hate, and I don’t see why. It has great costume design and production value, and the songs were fantastic (especially the new songs, like 'Speechless')."

Disney

"Also, expanding on Jasmine and making her a self-confident and competent woman (not a damsel in distress) was so necessary and awesome!"

—bst_2020

29."It’s perfectly OK to legitimately enjoy a movie that wasn’t critically acclaimed. Kind of sick and tired of 'cinema sins culture,' where it feels like a move has to be 110% perfect before it’s OK to enjoy."

Sony Pictures Releasing

"Give me your plot holes, your bad acting, your poorly written script; I’ll like a movie in spite of its flaws."
