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

Dude Where's My Car?

Nothing spectacular but I thought it was pretty funny. I still remember laughing my ass off at individual scenes. I read ten or eleven reviews of it, and all of them except one said it was the worst movie they had ever seen. Not just bad - the WORST movie they'd EVER seen. Wat?

I watched the Last Airbender movie before seeing the cartoon.

It's not a bad kung fu movie, except for the casting. Not great, but it was a fun watch. Now that I've seen the cartoon, I understand why the folx who grew up with it refuse to acknowledge it's existence.

Hot take, I enjoyed Chappie. I don’t care that there’s some self-insert band in there, it’s just a funny robot movie

Netflix's Avatar the Last Airbender.

Not a movie, but it's moving. Zuko/Iroh stole the show just like Book 1 of the animation, Lu Ten's funeral legit made me cry. Yet it gets tons of hate!

I'm a huge Avatar fan, but few fandoms put the original on the pedestal as much as ours, and it's only gotten worse with time. I feel like Korra got the same treatment, as I'm a massive Korra fan and I don't understand how so much of the fandom treats it like garbage.

I think that both Korra and Netflix's Avatar deserve a lot of criticism (Netflix more so than Korra), but it's definitely overblown in many parts. Korra has a lot of good sides, those rarely get mentioned alongside the bad ones.

Your Highness for me

Universally got trashed but I honestly enjoyed it and still do on a rewatch

It's stupid and it's fantasy but it doesn't try to be anything else

Observe And Report starring Seth Rogan.

It's a movie about a mall security guard and it often gets confused for the awful Paul Blart movies by people, which is why I think it gets dismissed. But it's genuinely darkly funny. It leans into the hero complex of the main character and it gets weird and off putting in the best kinds of ways. If you like Death To Smoochie, you will probably like 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.

Deathstalker 1 & 2, although the second is far superior.

It's completely tone deaf by any standards, let alone modern ones. Watch as a gang rape is interrupted and turned into what can only be described as a "heroic sexual assault".

The second swaps out the main actor for a much funnier one, and has probably the catchiest out-of-place theme tune of any movie.

You know you're watching a terrible movie, but they breeze along and you can't help but be entertained by it.

I loved The Chronicles of Riddick! It's bombastic space opera, of which we have much too little that isn't Star Wars tripe, and Vin Diesel is perfect in this role.

Usually the opposite is true for me these days.

I filtered in IMDb movies where I have voted 7+ while user rating is up to 6 and these jumped out seemingly panned by both critics and users.

  1. Gods of Egypt. Visually great, standard action story, don't get the dislike at all.
  2. Tremors 4: The Legend Begins. I have watched most Tremors movies, have given them 6+. The one I disliked most was Tremors: Shrieker Island which I have rated 3.
  3. Iron Sky. Do not remember a single thing, but it looks fun. Probably will rematch soon.
[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

Iron sky was created after someone played through all the wolfenstein games and then decided to play stellaris. This applies even more heavily to the second one.

I like comedies, dumb action movies and horror. So it's almost everything, just like the person in the meme. lol
