Oh sure, they're popular and thus it's obvious that tons of people like them, but they're popular in the same way boybands of the late 90s/early 2000s were popular...they make tons of money and consistently dominate their respective markets, but you'd be hard pressed to find anyone willing to openly admit they like them.
I don't know a single person today who doesn't say both those movies are horrible trash, even though when they were both new I encountered plenty of people who positively raved over them.
