I remember really enjoying the Van Helsing movie with Hugh Jackman as a kid. The world and weapons were really cool.
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.
Easy - Godzilla 1998. 28% audience score just goes to show the public has no taste
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.
The Cable Guy with Jim Carrey. I thought it was hilarious.
Reign of Fire only has a 42% (Critics), 49% (Audience) rating on RT, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. The visuals and sets create a nice moody post-apocalyptic vibe, and the actors deliver decent performances imo.
And the CGI is still amazing
Speed Racer has a 42% critic rating which i would consider a crime against culture. one of my favourite movies
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!
I, Robot (56%). Didn't care for Will Smith in this role but he did well enough. It was more about the plot for me. Also, if your eyes don't well up when Sonny is about to be terminated you should get checked out.
Chicken fucking Little
That movie slaps and no one can convince me otherwise
Iron sky. I like watching nazis on the dark side of the moon
The Core.
It tries so hard, and I just love it.
Batman V Superman.
I think the Ultimate edition is more complete and most people have only watched the theatrical edition and are reviewing it(I do like that version too).
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.
I really enjoyed Resident evil.
I love my zombie movies and there's quite a few that score very low on RT.
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.
This has always been easy for me because my favorite movie is "Speed Racer" which has like a 40% on Rotten Tomatoes.
A movie that was genuinely before its time. Would fit right in these days with "Barbie" and "Everything Everywhere All At Once".
I kinda liked In Time
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.
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.
Battleship, its not groundbraking but worth more than 33% in my eyes.
I watch Joe Dirt more times than I like to admit.
