movies

Going to give an old example and a new example.

I remember liking the Aeon Flux movie. Don't remember too much about it, but I remember enjoying it, and favorably comparing it to Ultraviolet which came out around the same time. Recently I heard someone bring it up in a podcast as a terrible movie and it turns out it's pretty universally panned lol.

A more recent example is The Watchers. I thought it was pretty good and kept my interest the whole time, but seems pretty middling from reviews. A lot of people especially didn't like the ending, which I guess was kind of sudden, but still alright imo. Not noteworthy in being especially bad or anything.

Great thread .... now I have a new movie list ... thanks

I love Reign of Fire. And honestly I think the CGI has held up surprisingly well for a 2002 movie (although not at all perfect).

6.2/10 IMBD, 41% critic/49% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.

Happen to me recently with "I saw the TV glowing" I tough it was a good movie, not 9 but maybe 8.5, apparently not, 5.5 by the IMDB voters.

Back in the day before RT, it was Ishtar. My parents loved that movie.

Land of the Lost (2009)

Alien Romulus. Me and my friends fucking loved that movie and were blown away so we were surprised to see how many people hated it

Oh man there's a movie with Paul Bettany dressed up like a priest, and it's this post apocalyptic cowboy western, but very horror manga in style, and he has a deeply goofy fight with Daywalker Vampire Karl Urban on top of a moving maglev train.

It's called Priest. I've seen it four times at least. It's real bad.

I swear pretty much every comedy movie is like this unless it's a massive hit and then becomes a 70% at best

For me this is the matrix sequels and Indiana Jones 4. All of them are absolutely fantastic.
