    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.

    There’s lots of them but one that hasn’t been mentioned is Sucker Punch. It’s 6.1 on IMDB and 22% on Rotten Tomatoes and I loved the visuals.

    Also, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is terrible but everyone needs to watch the opening sequence

    Van Wilder

    Soundtrack is incredible, it’s one of Tara Reid’s best roles, the cast is absolutely stacked, and IMO it’s basically Deadpool without the costume. It’s Ryan Reynolds best movie to date, and if he doesn’t return for a second (the sequel doesn’t exist) his career afterwards is ultimately pointless.

    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?

    Prometheus. I don’t care how stupid the plot is, and how many holes it has. Its aesthetics are (for the most part) excellent in a way that tickles my brain. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t like it as much the second time though (especially since I saw it in a theater)

    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.

    In 2006, a movie was released in which an evil AI is defeated by Shia LeBouf.

    The evil AI’s plan? Kill the president!

    Why does the AI want to kill the president? he has too much unchecked power and bombed village of innocent people in the middle east and the AI told him not to because it could not confirm if there was actually a terrorist there.

    How does Shia LeBouf defeat the evil AI? Opening fire at the capitol to cause a panic.

    The war in Iraq was ramping up at the time, how was there not rioting at screenings? How is this not a controversial movie?

    The acting is not great, but it deserves better than 27% on Rotten Tomatoes when the message of the film is the government does bad stuff and should be persecuted for it

    For me it was Alice in Wonderland (2010). I really enjoyed the whole “I do six impossible things before breakfast” thing. I was also really drunk when I watched it.

    Batman V Superman from 2016.

    My local theatre had an early early show: an early morning premiere, a day earlier than the official release date.

    In spite of the, frankly, stupid trailer #2, I was still excited to see the first live action movie with Batman and Superman with my fellow nerds.

    We came out of the theatre thinking it was a good movie, with Lex Luthor’s odd shenanigans aside (mannerisms, maintaining tabs on meta humans with well designed logos, etc.).

    I specifically remember appreciating and talking about the movie’s score (Hans Zimmer), cinematography (Larry Fong), and costumes (Michael Wilkinson and Ironhead Studios).

    While driving back, one of us checked the reviews and box office indications, and it was abysmal. The reaction was so bad that there was unspoken agreement between us to never talk about it again in public.

    I still like the movie, and like the Ultimate Edition even more. But I wasn’t a fan of all the movies that followed.

    E: grammar

    2003’s the core. I always loved the semi friendly rivalry between Zimsky and Brazz. And how Keys (the main character) is sort of the glue that holds the team together and I think the cast has a good energy together as a whole. Combine that with genuinely enjoyable yet ridiculous 90’s style end of the world action / world destruction scenes and you got a 10 / 10 in my book.

    I watched Last Action Hero a few years ago for the first time, and it honestly didn’t even feel that dated. It held up!
