The Book of Eli (47% critic 64% audience). It's a good story, it's well produced, solid acting. It's not the best movie ever but I enjoy it.

"Judge Dredd" (1995)

It's fun, funny, entertaining, and while not well written, is well acted.

Honorable mention is "Demolition Man" (1993) for similar reasons. Though it's in the 60s when it comes to a rating.

It's like, sometimes I want to sit back turn my brain off for 2 hours, and just enjoy.

Gonna go with Mortal Kombat (1995) 45%, a video game to film adaptation of a fighting game is never going to be deep, but this is a fun ride. Could add in the follow up, Annihilation (1997), 4% and the 2021 film which sits at 54% too. Don’t expect much and they are fun films.

"Con Air" is a classic. I found "brightburn" very enjoyable. I rewatch "the faculty" every now and then.

The Matrix Revolutions.

Released in the same year as Reloaded, which I don't think a movie series of that caliber has been done in a long time or since. But we got two Matrix sequels in one year. Reloaded has gotten a little more accepted as time went on but people are still divided on Revolutions. I quite frankly, thought the mainline series couldn't have ended on more of a note than it did. A lot of the content has gone over everyone's heads, even at the time, because it was all techy-techy stuff and had biblical themes in it as well. But if you look at the entire Matrix series as you would TRON, it makes a little more sense.

George of the Jungle (43%) is still just as fun as it was when I was a kid.

Tookie-tookie!

I remember really enjoying the Van Helsing movie with Hugh Jackman as a kid. The world and weapons were really cool.

Speed Racer (2008)! The Wachowski sisters directed it after the Matrix trilogy, and the silly and over-the-top aesthetics seem to have put of many, but I think it's a genuinely fun movie with great themes and some awesome emotional moments.

Suicide Squad.

Ok since no movie critic of comic book movies actually reads comics or ever bothered to read the Wikipedia articles summarizing I present to you their issues and why they are wrong. Also including is generic movie information..

The prison has people with no powers! Yes, exactly like the comic books. It was the most dangerous not the most powerful. Harley is dangerous because of nothing else her connection to the Joker. Deadshot is dangerous because people want to hire him. Angry powerful people.

The movie had modern music in it! Movies tend to do this. Be not alarmed.

The pacing was off in the middle! Agreed but the same can be said about everything Kubrick made and I don't hear you complaining.

Harley and Joker have a toxic relationship! Yes, they are villains.

There wasn't enough time spent on character backstory! Use your glowing rectangle.

They caused the problem they were supposed to be solving! Yes, like the comics. It was a metaphor for the CIA. Fidel Castro, Iraq, that dictator in Panama, the Taliban....Got it?

Harley should have better weapons! Have someone scream at you and run at you waving a baseball bat and tell me that you are okay with the situation.

Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey

STATION!

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998), starring Johnny Depp sitting at a blasphemous 50%

Final Fantasy: the spirits within.

The animation felt way ahead of its time. It's been over a decade since I watched it, but I have very fond and exciting memories of watching it.

I unironically enjoy both the 2005 and 2007 Fantastic Four movies. Were they cheesy as hell? Yep, but damn sure the source material is just as cheesy sometimes. Could the MCU do them better now? Almost certainly. Still fun movies, except for making Galactus the Glow Cloud (all hail). They fucked up a lot of Doom's backstory, but I like Julian McMahon (even if this also wasn't the best role for him).

Also, Chris Evans exiting the shower. Damn.

Dude, Where's My Car, 17%/47%. I haven't seen it since it was in the theatre, but I remember thinking it was a good disengage-your-brain comedy that got some chuckles and had a plot that was weird enough to be a joke on it's own. What were people expecting, with a title like that?

I just watched Cowboys & Aliens (2011) for the first time earlier today and really enjoyed it.

Lots of famous faces in front of the camera and lots of well known names involved behind the scenes.

Producers include Steven Spielberg, Jon Favreau, & Ron Howard.

Actors include Harrison Ford, Daniel Craig, & Olivia Wilde.

Seems like a really stupid idea for a plot but I found myself about halfway through thinking "this isn't really that different from a Star Wars type movie... That's basically already alien cowboys .."

Oh yeah... Forgot to mention that Steve Oedekirk (from Kung Pow fame) was also involved .. he was one of three writers

Equilibrium

Speed Racer has a 42% critic rating which i would consider a crime against culture. one of my favourite movies

Every person who likes horror movies can probably name a few examples. Horror movies are somehow really weirdly understood by a lot of people, including critics. Or perhaps I watch them for the wrong reasons, I don't know.

The Cable Guy

Sucker Punch. Rated 47% audience score and 22% critic score, but I love it. The story and concept are great, and the action scenes are fun

I like the Han Solo Movie. They fucking NAILED the character, and they took a LOT of inspiration from legends, and it shows! I think the only reason people dislike the movie is because Han Solo himself wasn't played by Harrison Ford, which uh, duh, of course he wasn't. He doesn't even like the character!

Jumper is on 15% critics and 44%. Definitely a dumb movie that could've been much better but I thought it was a cool scifi movie. Plus I've always liked teleportation powers and powers in general being used for something other than being a superhero.

National Treasure is 46% and it's sequel is 36% for critics. Audiences like both more and if a third film in the trilogy is ever made I'm in.

Street Fighter has 11%.

It's glorious. It's a comedy that only Raul Julia is in on. Everyone else playing it dead serious, but a super hammy scenery chewing villain, with some genuinely great lines.

It's what modern movies are missing. Especially the recent MCU fare. Jonathan Majors and Josh Brolin may well be great actors, but they're not great villains. They're a better fit for mumbling their way through a 3 hour Chris Nolan epic.

Think Tim Curry or Alan Rickman in practically anything they were ever in. The earlier movies had this spark with Jeff Bridges and Tom Hiddleston, but they've lost it now. These things live and die by their choice of villain. They are after all the reason for the movie to exist.

Bicentennial Man (1999) starring Robin Williams. It's one of my favorites.

Speed Racer

Josie and the Pussycats.

It was so far ahead of its time that critics just didn't get it because the world they were satirizing was still about a decade away. (Instagram, fame, product placement, fanboyism...)

Also, bonus answer. The Big Hit. Because fuck it. Lou Diamond Phillips knew exactly what kind of shclock movie he was in and chewed the scenery fantastically.

Sherlock Holmes: A game of Shadows

AFAIK the intention was to build a franchise and now Robert Downey Jr has finished with Marvel they're all keen to pick it back up again (he's also pushing for Jonny Depp to join the franchise.)

Alien vs Predator. It got horrible reviews but it has everything I like in it.

Hackers

Now its probably not a hill Im willing to die on, but:

The Mummy (2017)
15% Tomatometer, 35% Audience score

I just had a good time, what can I say

I never visit the site to see what other people an critics think of a movie.

Hook with it's 29% tomatometer rating. Dustin Hoffman—sexual misconduct allegations aside—fucking nailed it as Hook, and I think the general concept of an adult Peter Pan returning was pretty cool. Also, who doesn't love Robin Williams? It was a movie I loved in my childhood so I am absolutely biased, but 29% seems absurd. I still find the "Don't try to stop me, Smee" scene hilarious to this day.

Jupiter Ascending was a bit of a mess, but overall I liked it. I would contrast with Valerian, which is also a mess, and which I came close to liking, but in the end I just couldn't sell myself on it. The rest of the movie channels its influences and feels like 5th Element meets Star Wars, but DeHaan and Delavigne spend the whole movie acting like they're in a high school production of Blade Runner.

EDIT TO ADD MY OTHER COMMENT: Conversely, for all the bee gloop and DNA dynasty and flying rollerblades and other extremely weird shit that was sort of half-assedly put together in Jupiter Ascending, Tatum and Kunis had me more invested.

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.

I kinda liked In Time

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.

Hudson Hawk

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

The Core.

It tries so hard, and I just love it.
