Ask Lemmy

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!

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. I absolutely adore the movie, but I'm actually content it didn't get all the recognition I think it deserves. The entire vibe of the movie is one of contentment; no need to force higher achievements.

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.

Scary movie, Scary movie 2 and Scary movie 3. I find those movies hilarious despite what people say.

Knight and Day is a light feel-good action comedy.

What's up with RT ratings though? A lot of movies I'd deem okayish have ratings < 50%.

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

Absurdist and slapstick comedies are often a good answer to this question. I would argue that movies like Step Brothers and Wet Hot American Summer have some comic actors doing some of their best work. But people who aren’t a fan of the genre are going to shit on those movies.

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

I'm gonna level with ya all

Langoliers

Ok just hear me out

It has time travel and it's one of the few adaptations from a Stephen king book

The Time Traveler's Wife is a good movie.

It's currently rated 38 for critics and 59 for audience.

Judge Dredd (1995) Judge as you will :)

XKCD Alt-Text:

I wasn't a big fan of 3 or Salvation, so I'm trying to resist getting my hopes up too much for Dark Fate, but it's hard. I'm just a sucker for humans and robots traveling through time to try to drive trucks into each other, apparently.

I personally like Doom (2015). I understand the hate but I got a special edition dvd

Ghost rider bruh

Dude Where's My Car.

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

Speed Racer is my favortie movie of all time and i have been made fun of multiple times because of it.

The Super Mario Bros movie. It was really good but for some reason has a 59% rating on the tomato-meter, despite a 95% audience score. Very strange and it's why I just don't trust Rotten Tomatoes.

Cube Zero (2004)

That's right, the prequel to the 1997 horror film Cube. Where people are trapped inside a cube that keeps killing them.

I feel like I'm cheating because it got some positive reviews, just not enough to even have a critic score. Audience score is in the 20's. I don't know why! It's a great follow up. Much better than the sequel, Hypercube. It gives us some much needed backstory on why the cubes exist and what their purpose is.

Audience score or critics score?

Netflix made that movie "Bright" and I thought it was pretty incredible.

Looks like the audience put it at 83% but critics have it as 26%

Out Cold. It's a dumb snowboarding comedy movie, but I think it's dumb in a really funny way. It only has an 8% on rotten tomatoes but I think thats way incorrect.

If you go in expecting stupid humor it's actually got a lot of funny lines and moments.

For me it's:

• Terminator 3 with 46% audience score and 70% tomatometer
• Gone in sixty seconds with 25% tomatometer and 77% audience score

From Paris With Love. It's fast-paced, has funny quotes.

Warcraft - I loved that movie and hoped it would become a new franchise. The weirdest thing is there was a huge anti-campaign, like the "critics" gave it 29%, while audience gave it 76%. I still don't understand what exactly happened here.

This was way easier than I thought it'd be. I really like the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. It's Rotten Tomatoes score is 44%.

I go with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Just like The Polar Express (which also has not the best rating) I really enjoy this movie around Christmas. Love the exaggerated characters and the absurd story :D

I love the Underworld movies, and was very shocked to see they had less than 40% on rotten tomatoes.

I unabashedly love the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean movie, On Stranger Tides. It's my second favorite after the first. I guess I just never liked the Turner/Swann story lines so ditching them was refreshing. It's just a fun and silly adventure with beautiful visuals and cool supernatural stuff. Only has 57% audience rating but whatever I appreciate it.

Not even gonna front, I actually like the Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern movie.

Æon Flux, from 2005. 9% on RT. I'm not sure if it's nostalgia from seeing it as a teen or if the masses weren't ready for it or what, but it was just so unique and had such a cool vibe.

House of 1000 corpses, 21% on rotten tomatoes and a perfect 10/10 for me, the soundtrack and the visuals are incredible, with super fun villains to match.

Battle: Los Angeles (37/48). I think it's a fun take on the "alien invasion of Earth" trope. Maybe that's because I play historical tabletop wargames (think Warhammer 40k, but with for example US paratroopers vs German panzer grenadiers).

Also if I can just flip the question a bit, one movie I didn't expect to love as much as I did (though it got deservedly good tomato ratings) was:

• Prey (2022)

I expected another in a long line of good action movies. Not the best, probably even just mediocre relative to the rest of the collection.

But I've found myself rewatching that one more than any other Alien/Predator movie, it's a truly great film.

One of if not the best Alien/Predator films ever made imo.

The internet has ruined ratings for me. I don't even read reviews or ratings before watching something and I make my own opinion of it, usually through the trailer. Everyone is a keyboard warrior these days and everyone thinks they're experts.
