As above, So Below
Let me preface this with I also love most of the Paranormal Activity movies and Cloverfield, that found footage format when it came out to the mainstream was just really gripping to me and I try to vacuum up as much of them as I can.
As above, So Below really stuck with me, despite the opinion being somewhat mixed. I'll also say, for some reason - I really like caves/subterranea. Minecraft, Deep Rock, 7 Days to Die mining, Runescape. I think I must of been a dwarf in a past life/dimension or some shit.
It just felt really desperate and the tunnel/horror aspect just kept going, those guys were fucked basically and it kept getting weirder.
Dylatov pass was a similarly cool but kinda shitty movie too, it has another name too Devil's pass or something. I like that for similar reasons too, kinda dumb but equally hopeless feeling.
I don't remember the name because it ALSO had two release names [regionally] for some reason. But it was two english ghost hunters who stayed in a church, there was a weird priest every now and then, and no spoilers - they found an underground basement and it...went from there he he he. That was good too and probably lower than 50% . Anyone know the name?? Found footage of course.
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.
Three Amigos (45% / 67%)
Mars Attacks
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets - The opening sequence is pretty amazing actually.
Sex Drive (esp the directors cut)
This is harder than I thought it would be. I was also surprised at the ratings for Mars Attacks and Sex Drive. Mars Attacks is a legit great movie but admittedly very odd. Sex Drive is just stupid fun.. Kinda peak teen sex comedy. Not perfect but funny in it's own way.
I really like Hardcore Henry, it was just a fun movie to watch but apparently the audience disagrees
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.
‘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 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...
2005's The Island.
Did make me wish we had a remake of Logan's Run though.
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.
I really enjoyed Resident evil.
I love my zombie movies and there's quite a few that score very low on RT.
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 liked Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019).
I thought it was a fun movie and I liked Rey as a character
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.
After a lot of searching on Rotten Tomatoes, Venom? Fun and kinda goofy suoerhero comedy. I definitely liked it enough to watch the sequel
The day after tomorrow is my guilty pleasure.
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 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.
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.
57% on RT but its probably one of my favourite Wes Anderson films.
Sucker Punch (2011). Seriously underrated.Dont get why many people consider this movie plotless.
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!
Venom (2018). I thought the action was exciting, it had a great sense of humor (I even liked some of the gross jokes), and I liked all of the character dynamics. Honestly, most of the complaints I hear about it boil down to "this movie isn't for me", or "this doesn't fit my interpretation of the character". Which are fine opinions to have, but I'm not sure it's fair to call the movie bad because of it. Then again, that's just the complaints I've heard. I'm sure there are people out there who hate it for fairer reasons, and I've just never met them.
Scary movie, Scary movie 2 and Scary movie 3. I find those movies hilarious despite what people say.
This is a lot easier if we're talking about the Tomatmeter and not the Audience Score. But if we can go with the average of the two, then...
The Man who Knew too Little
I love that movie. I completely unironically enjoy every minute of it. Is it good? No. Do I care? Hell no. I love that movie.
The Time Traveler's Wife is a good movie.
It's currently rated 38 for critics and 59 for audience.
I enjoyed Bullet Train and Equilibrium.
A much harder stipulation is that it needs to be below a 60% audience score, too. I haven't found any there, yet, but it feels like it's more in line with the idea that the movie needs to be unpopular.
