Sucker Punch. Gets panned for having a weak storyline but I guess for me the storyline really isn't the point... the action is flawless. Flawless. Also I get that some people don't like over-the-top / heavily post-produced action.

On the same note; Batman vs Superman. I still maintain that the director's cut is an excellent film, if you ignore a small number of glaring flaws:

1) Lex Luthor... who on a second viewing I didn't find that bad, just still not... well... Lex Luthor .

2) Lois throwing the kryptonite spear into the water. Unfathomable.

3) "Hey ur mum's called Martha too? Cool! Did we just become best friends??"



BUT other than that It beats the vast majority of the MCU for me.

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.

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!"

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.

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.

[Amy Jade]

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

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 .

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

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

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.

Good films that have good reviews but just have a lot of people hating on it count too

It is a very vague thread idea

And 61% doesn’t really scream great either

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.

[James]

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

Alot of Alien fans won't accept anything that isn't the first two Films, it's kind of stupid really I feel.
