The DCEU films (not counting Wonder woman obvs since that was a critical darling), They have their problems but I refuse to believe that any of them are any worse than Thor 2 or Doctor Strange (ohai magical Tony Stark with Inception's visual effects!).

I quite liked Blair Witch and I don't think it deserved the hate it got.

I liked Netflix's Death Note film, it's not a good adaptation of the source material but I enjoyed it as it's own thing.

There's probably more but I can't recall any others at the time.

I agree and also would easily put them above Hulk, Iron Man 2 + 3, Thor and... thought I sort of hate to say it as I do enjoy the characters... GoTG2.

Although maybe not Suicide Squad, I actually do think it's sort of... awful... and utterly forgettable. But I have a very strong suspicion that there's a good version of it lying in tatters all over a cutting room floor somewhere.

Another one: "Kevin and Perry Go Large" gets 5.4 on IMDB but, as I;ve said before, is quite blatantly a solid 10/10. I can only imagine it's been reviewed by a lot of non-Brits who can't quite fathom what they're seeing.

It's all a bit empty... like a "filler" episode of a TV show. I think it suffered by being so popular, and they made a better film first time round when they had no idea that it was going to be a hit.

The only really fun parts are Baby Groot (then they made me SAD by turning him into teenage groot in the post-credits), and "I'm Mary Poppins y'all!" :laugh:

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (has 27% on RT) I prefer it to the original.

Friday the 13th Part III (has 12% on RT) the best in the series imo

The Hills Have Eyes 2006 (has 50% on RT) one of the best horrors of the 00's

GOTG2 had an underwhelming first half and a great second half I thought. Splitting up the team for so long was a mistake but once they got back together for the second half, it got way better.

The first two purges I enjoyed, third was too predictable for my liking

Robocops 1 and 2.

RoboCop gets "88% Fresh" on Rottentomatoes, 7.5/10 on IMDB, it's not really under-rated, it's a classic!

RoboCop 2... is pretty dodgy, yes :joker:.

Probably "What Happened to Monday?" recently on Netflix. A decent action flick I thought.

It was a good idea and the first half was decent but it fell apart in the second half I think

I enjoyed Suicide Squad, despite its negative reviews.

It wasn't a great film by any means, but it was entertaining for what it was.

Yeah, I wanted more exploration of the plot, which was great rather than just killing most of the sisters off in quick succession. Maybe more time spent on Glenn Close's character.

But I enjoyed the third act with the reveal of what Monday had done.

I remember liking RoboCop 3, the 12-rated RoboCop they did. I haven't seen the other two, or the recent one.

James 08-12-2017 11:38 PM

Not that it had bad reviews, but I've heard lots of revisionism about Alien Covenant, which I thought was great.
