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.

Wagons East was one of my favourite movies growing up and my fam would watch it many multiple of times.

It has a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes.

I'm one of those people that thought Wet Hot American Summer was in the same league as Anchorman. Great cast, great music, littered with one-liners, just irreverant enough. It did eventually come out from under the radar but back in the early 2000s it was a total dud most people hadn't heard of

All of the 3 ninjas movies. I was telling my wife about them and was talking about how great they were (this was like a decade ago) and went to look them up. Like 0-35% on rotten tomatoes depending on which one.

3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain is particularly bad at 0% critic score, 29% audience score, and a 3 on IMDb.

I loved all the 3 ninjas movies so much though.

Boondock Saints is such a movie, which is a crime

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.

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

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.

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

Land of the Lost (2009)

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

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.

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