Constantine. I’ve seen it dozens of times and it never gets old. Tilda Swinton as Gabriel and Peter Stormare as Satan are a big part of why.
The Ice Pirates is a damn fun movie. Very camp 80s sci-fi.
Hot take, I enjoyed Chappie. I don’t care that there’s some self-insert band in there, it’s just a funny robot movie
I loved The Chronicles of Riddick! It’s bombastic space opera, of which we have much too little that isn’t Star Wars tripe, and Vin Diesel is perfect in this role.
Speed Racer
Van Wilder
Soundtrack is incredible, it’s one of Tara Reid’s best roles, the cast is absolutely stacked, and IMO it’s basically Deadpool without the costume. It’s Ryan Reynolds best movie to date, and if he doesn’t return for a second (the sequel doesn’t exist) his career afterwards is ultimately pointless.
There’s lots of them but one that hasn’t been mentioned is Sucker Punch. It’s 6.1 on IMDB and 22% on Rotten Tomatoes and I loved the visuals.
Also, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is terrible but everyone needs to watch the opening sequence
Freddy got fingered is the most notorious example of a movie with very funny/memorable scenes that got hated.
Palm Springs should have had best movie oscar, much less nominated, is my biggest pet peave.
Both Pacific Rim movies!
Meet the Feebles
Dude Where’s My Car?
Nothing spectacular but I thought it was pretty funny. I still remember laughing my ass off at individual scenes. I read ten or eleven reviews of it, and all of them except one said it was the worst movie they had ever seen. Not just bad - the WORST movie they’d EVER seen. Wat?
Idle Hands is a very late-90s stoner comedy… horror movie. This turns out not to be a winning combination of genres. It works, as both, but the audience is the overlap of a Venn diagram instead of both circles. It’s a stoner movie you absolutely should not watch while stoned.
It’s also packed with now-recognizable names. Seth Green, Jessica Alba, Vivica Fox, Devon Sawa, Elden Henson.
Absolutely bombed.
The purpose of a Movie is to entertain. If i am entertained, It Is Good.
I filtered in IMDb movies where I have voted 7+ while user rating is up to 6 and these jumped out seemingly panned by both critics and users.
- Gods of Egypt. Visually great, standard action story, don’t get the dislike at all.
- Tremors 4: The Legend Begins. I have watched most Tremors movies, have given them 6+. The one I disliked most was Tremors: Shrieker Island which I have rated 3.
- Iron Sky. Do not remember a single thing, but it looks fun. Probably will rematch soon.
Three O’Clock High is an all-time favorite. It’s like somebody set out to make THE stereotypical eighties movie. Budget Matthew Broderick? Check! Bratty little sister? Yes, sir! Nerdy best friend? We got you! And don’t get me started on how fantastic Buddy Revelle is. I feel like it’s got way better cinematography than it should, and the acting seems surprisingly good to me.
