Okay, so I hit rotten tomatoes, checked movies that were both critics rotten AND audience rotten, and started perusing titles for stuff I thought rocked.
abraham lincoln: vampire hunter
waterworld
hellboy (how is this in here? I thought this was universally loved)
mars attacks! (56 and 53, I also feel like this shouldn't be on the list. It's too good, and not in a bad way)
x-men origins: wolverine (again, is this not considered awesome? I thought it was great)
daredevil/elektra (I enjoyed both movies)
and now for stuff I've watched at least five times:
the ninth gate
planet of the apes (2001)
avp
prince of persia
green lantern
van helsing
I'm dead serious, I was looking forward to MORE green lantern movies along the lines of that first one. I bought it on amazon having heard nothing about it (I was in a societal black hole for a few years there), watched it, loved it, and was like "sweet, when's the sequel coming out? I wanna see sinestro do his thing...wow, this did not do well. Fuck."
I wasn't super happy with ALL of the writing, but that's comic stuff in general and I thought the whole thing was still quite enjoyable. Like, multiple rewatches enjoyable. Seeing Hal Jordan on screen and having Ryan Reynolds do it was great.
Are you sure you’re not mixing up wolverine with “the wolverine“ (2013, 71%)? Because that one is great. As is Logan.
I'm not sure, but the one I'm thinking of starts in the 1800's, which is part of why I enjoyed it.
I thought it was a neat take on what I considered an otherwise one-dimensional character. (Don't hate me, my first exposure to Wolverine was the 90's animated series, where he WAS pretty darn one-dimensional)
That’s the one where Wade Wilson is turned into a mute mutant with laser eyes and him and Wolverine fight on top of a nuclear reactor’s steam tower at the end.
That movie deserves all its flak. The best part was the opening montage showing Wolverine through all of history, but that was a single sequence in an otherwise terrible movie.
