Ask Lemmy

Sucker Punch (2011). Seriously underrated.Dont get why many people consider this movie plotless.

I was honestly a little shocked to find The Fountain rated so low, Tomatometer (fuck the tomatometer anyway, audience score is where it's usually at) was 52% with scathing reviews, the audience score fortunately remedied the situation with 74% cause I was seriously starting to look for another site.

And for it's opposite: The Blair Witch Project is 86% vs 56%. I haven't seen it in ages, have been planning to, but it was one of my favorite movies for a while.

If we are doing just critic score, The Boondock Saints. I've lost count of how many times I have seen it.

I already loved the movie, but I went to a Q&A with Sean Patrick Flanery. Norman Reedus was held up, so missed the Q&A and only did pictures later on. I was disappointed at first, but it ended up being one of the most hilarious and entertaining 1-2 hours I've ever seen. I wish I could remember specific details, but I do remember telling him it was an amazing Q&A when I got my pic with them.

‘Screamers’, the 1995 scifi movie starring Peter Weller (of Robocop fame).

It’s just this great, kind of depressing scifi war movie that has a tone that really appeals to me. Two exhausted groups of soldiers who slowly realize that high command has stopped bothering to even check up on them try to broker a peace, while killer machines created by one side have gotten out of control and become a hazard to everyone.

It’s so much better than the atrocious 29% on RottenTomatoes.

The 1998 Godzilla.

Hudson Hawk

Also 1991. Definitly the so bad its good category. A preexisting parody to the DaVinci code. 31Critics/56Aud

Oblivion . Didn’t know anything about it going in, went to go see it with the attitude that if it was going to be worth watching the theater experience would help it.

Not saying it’s in my top 50, or likely even top 100, but it’s a perfectly serviceable afternoon nap movie.

Three Amigos (45% / 67%)

Can't believe no one has mentioned The Core (2003).

39% on Rotten Tomatoes. It's completely absurd and scientifically nonsensical. But damned if it isn't fun.

Roadhouse (my adult life is pre2000)

The Cable Guy with Jim Carrey. I thought it was hilarious.

Iron sky. I like watching nazis on the dark side of the moon

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.

57% on RT but its probably one of my favourite Wes Anderson films.

The Fountain is a great movie that you have to watch at least twice. Also watch it stoned for bonus points.

I have no clue how it's sitting at 52% critic score on RT...

Kingdom of Heavens. This movie just transported me but is rated 39%.

But to be fair I've only seen the director's cut, apparently there is a huge difference between the director's cut and the theatre release.

2011's "In Time" (37%)

Transformers : Dark of the Moon - easily the best transformers movie. They let transformers just beat up on transformers for the last hour and half. Score was excellent by Steve Jablonsky, action was great and was a nice end to the first trilogy where there was at least a little effort to keep the story consistent.

Man of Steel - beautiful score and cinematography. The closest thing we will get to a high budget dragon ball Z movie. Still the best visualization of Kryptonian strength and speed .

Battle LA - Fun little alien invasion military movie. Eckhart gives a nice performance.

Tron: Legacy - visuals and soundtrack carry the movie hard. Imagine it as a very long Daft Punk music video.

The Greatest Showman - Amazing soundtrack here as well. Hugh Jackman’s acting was also great.

We’re the Millers - comedies might be cheating but had to highlight this one which I really enjoyed. Great chemistry with the entire cast

The day after tomorrow is my guilty pleasure.

Beerfest

I liked Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019).

I thought it was a fun movie and I liked Rey as a character

What? XXX hasn't been mentioned yet?!?

The first part was a brilliant persiflage of all the boring James Bond movies (Pierce Brosnan at that time) with awesome action scenes, a lot of fun and mostly a killer OST. To this day I don't understand that most people didn't get the persiflage part, although the James Bond agent gets killed within the first minutes of the movie...

I really loved the og ghost rider movie

I really enjoyed Resident evil.

I love my zombie movies and there's quite a few that score very low on RT.

2005's The Island.

Did make me wish we had a remake of Logan's Run though.

Battleship, its not groundbraking but worth more than 33% in my eyes.

I really like Hardcore Henry, it was just a fun movie to watch but apparently the audience disagrees

2000s Adam Sandler movies. I know there is Punch Drunk Love and Reign Over Me, but his comedy pictures are my go-to's whenever I'm extremely bored. 50 First Dates and Click are my frequents.

Automata 2014

Oblivion 2013

Jupiter Ascending 2015

Evolution 2001

There might be a pattern in there somewhere...

Doesn't break 60 as it has 63, but I think it still counts. Ang Lee's The Hulk. Ok listen, Abomination isn't great, and the hulk stuff is a snoozer. But I think it's the first and only movie with the Hulk in it that actually GOT the hulk. It's more a cerebral picture about Bruce Banner dealing with all of this, rather than an action movie. The Hulk is Bruce's failure, not his super hero. Edward Norton did a great job with the role, and honestly it really is worth a watch, just focus on the Bruce more than the Hulk and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Edit: Lol. Both replies are right, Louis Leterrier's Hulk Movie. Which sits at... . 67. The post remains!

Freddy Got Fingered

It's sitting at 11% on Rotten tomatoes

After a lot of searching on Rotten Tomatoes, Venom? Fun and kinda goofy suoerhero comedy. I definitely liked it enough to watch the sequel

Dude Where's My Car.

Shit has 1 star and only 47% audience score (17% on the other score).

The 13th Warrior.

Yes, it doesn't follow the book 100%. Yes, there are some goofy or cheesy moments. For a 90s viking adventure though, I think it's fun.

People might take issue with Banderas playing a Muslim, but Spain was once part of the caliphate that conquered northern Africa. Having a viking who speaks Greek, considering the Kievan Rus had explored the Mediterranean and fought for the Byzantines by now, added to the historical aspects of the story.

Even the original manuscripts get a bit fantasy, so I like to think of it as the movie reeled it back to a more historically accurate story over the greater fantasy on the book.

Would absolutely see all of these again: Austin Powers, Fast and Furious, I Robot, Hotel Transylvania, Pirates of the Caribbean, Police Academy, Spaceballs, Transporter.
