The Most Hated Movie I Love

[mishalak]

I really like David Lynch's Dune. At times it seems like everyone else hates it and likes the Sci-Fi version better. For the life of me I can't figure out why. I wonder if that could be a meme. What movie do you defend when people start saying, "Oh that was the worse ever!"?

Because I loved the book and read it many times before FINALLY watching the film.

The film became bearable once I'd learnt to pretend that it never had anything remotely to do with the book. Perhaps he should have named it something else.

That is what I was wondering. Mainly because it had been so long since I read the book before I saw the new adaptation, I couldn't complain or compliment too much, so I have always gone by the "where I was at the time I saw this" sort of review. Thanks. I am sure it would have been totally different for me if the book had been fresh in my head during the veiwing of either adaptation.
