Observe And Report starring Seth Rogan.
It’s a movie about a mall security guard and it often gets confused for the awful Paul Blart movies by people, which is why I think it gets dismissed. But it’s genuinely darkly funny. It leans into the hero complex of the main character and it gets weird and off putting in the best kinds of ways. If you like Death To Smoochie, you will probably like it.
I showed my friends Rubber. It’s a movie about a serial killer tire. I think it’s great. Everyone I’ve showed it to thought it was terrible.
Yeah… I don’t care. I watch a movie and accept it for what it is. If I’m entertained for a few hours, great. If not, meh. I don’t need critical opinion.
I agree. I usually do it out of curiosity though. I tend to find, in general, the reviews are on par though.
The number of times I watch something and afterwards am like “that felt kind of shit”, turns out everyone else agrees and I’m wondering why I didn’t check first to save my time.
The butterfly effect.
I saw it when I was rather young but I thought it was pretty good, apparently people thought it’s edgy.
Should watch it again now and see if it holds up.
Conan the Destroyer. I absolutely love it and won’t apologize for it.
I did a deep dive into pre-2000’s Schwarzenegger movies recently and they’re basically all good.
End Of Days is basically saved single handedly by that MP5.
Kangaroo Jack (2003) for me. It’s not objectively good but I found it silly and fun, and it’s one of my dad’s favorite movies. Never really understood why it’s so panned (9% critic and 29% audience on Rotten Tomatoes)
The first Silent Hill movie and the Tim Burton Charlie and the Chocolate Factory stand out for me. The consensus seems to be that they suck, but I like 'em.
The Razor’s Edge (1984)
i feel like it’s much harder when you finish a movie, and you hate it, and then find out it’s one of the most critically acclaimed movies of all time.
this was my experience watching taxi driver. to this day, i have not been able to find a single other person who disliked that movie as much as i did
I get this, other than Pulp Fiction, I dislike all of Tarantino’s films.
I don’t like the style or the pacing, I don’t like the revisionist take on events.
But people generally like his films.
Taxi Driver is a movie I can recognize as being a great piece of art that I don’t enjoy.
Congo is one of my favorite movies of all time I can recite every line in it. It’s only got a 23% on RT and like a 5/10 on IMDb but I don’t care. I still love the fuck out of that movie
Basically any movie-adaptation of a book. I know I’m in the minority on this, but if I wanted the story of the book, I’d be reading the book, not watching a movie that’s often merely based on it. A new spin on an existing tale is the best of both worlds imo.
Ok but ready player one could have tried alot harder
I thought the Percy Jackson movies were pretty cool. I was very wrong
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was my jam as a little girl… but it might just be because I ended up being bisexual and there’s a lot of beautiful and badass people in it.
Yes I remember enjoying this movie. I loved all of the characters from legends and stories, as well as all of its steampunk elements. It’s totally underrated.
That car with the four front wheels was epic
Fun movie! Idk if I ever bought the DVD but I would always watch it when it was on TV.
Have you ever read the comics? Quick read, and vol 2 is a straight up banger.
Joker 2
Ant-Man 3
I Saw The TV Glow
Leave The World Behind
I loved I Saw The TV Glow. It’s 3.5/5 on Letterboxd, which is not high enough but not terrible.
Oh and two Christian movies I like the most, Courageous and Mom’s Night Out. Solid 7/10s that are treated like 3/10s because they’re Christian.
Usually the opposite is true for me these days.
