Ask Lemmy

Every person who likes horror movies can probably name a few examples. Horror movies are somehow really weirdly understood by a lot of people, including critics. Or perhaps I watch them for the wrong reasons, I don't know.

Jupiter Ascending was a bit of a mess, but overall I liked it. I would contrast with Valerian, which is also a mess, and which I came close to liking, but in the end I just couldn't sell myself on it. The rest of the movie channels its influences and feels like 5th Element meets Star Wars, but DeHaan and Delavigne spend the whole movie acting like they're in a high school production of Blade Runner.

EDIT TO ADD MY OTHER COMMENT: Conversely, for all the bee gloop and DNA dynasty and flying rollerblades and other extremely weird shit that was sort of half-assedly put together in Jupiter Ascending, Tatum and Kunis had me more invested.

Jurassic World Dominion. The original Jurassic Park is probably my favorite movie of all time, and I know that people hate the remakes. But they were so much fun to me. I love dinosaurs. Sue me.

For me it's The Core.

Avatar by M. Night. Legit one of my favorite movies.

Dude, 3 ninjas: high noon at mega mountain is an amazing kids movie. Every actor is clearly having so much fun and the plot's overblown absurdity allows for super fun set piece action sequences.

Would absolutely see all of these again: Austin Powers, Fast and Furious, I Robot, Hotel Transylvania, Pirates of the Caribbean, Police Academy, Spaceballs, Transporter.

Hudson Hawk

Also 1991. Definitly the so bad its good category. A preexisting parody to the DaVinci code. 31Critics/56Aud

I really liked Repo Men 2010. Rotten tomatoes has it at 21%

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.

The New Guy! 7% tomatometer and 54% audience score. It's still my favorite feel good movie and the funky music is amazing.

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.

The live action Super Mario Bros movie.

I know it doesn't meet the "post 2000's" rule, but I saw it for the first time a couple years ago, so I think it still counts. I don't think it was a very good Mario movie since it took A LOT of creative liberties with the source material (tbf, there wasn't a lot to work with in 1993), but as its own thing, I enjoyed it for what it was. Definitely expected a lot worse when going into it.

I remember really enjoying the Van Helsing movie with Hugh Jackman as a kid. The world and weapons were really cool.

After a lot of searching on Rotten Tomatoes, Venom? Fun and kinda goofy suoerhero comedy. I definitely liked it enough to watch the sequel

Sucker Punch (2011). Seriously underrated.Dont get why many people consider this movie plotless.

I'm surprised to see Batman Forever has such a low score, I loved that movie when it came out. Granted, I was in middle school at the time but I've probably seen it a half dozen or so times over the years. I had no idea people don't like that movie.

I never visit the site to see what other people an critics think of a movie.

The Matrix 4. Could've been better if it wasn't missing 50% of the directing talent, but it's still a worthy sequel.
