Ask Lemmy

I just looked up Event Horizon and it only got a 33%. I love that movie. It genuinely really creeped me out. Few horror films do.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Sure it's campy and way over the top. But I kinda like it for that. Plus the characters are awesome, the designs were pretty cool, and Sean Connery was great. Currently at 17% on rt.

Constantine - 46%

Predator - 34%

Ghost in the Shell - 43%

Hellboy - 17%

Robocop (2016) - 49%

Well, it seems like I have poor taste in movies after all.

Passengers is a pretty cool sci-fi movie. I like the first half in particular, the way it shows how "dumb" A.I. will be the bane of our existence feels very accurate as far as futuristic predictions go. I'm also a sucker for "lost on an island" stories, which this ultimately is. I will never understand how so much was made about the decision the main male character makes at a certain point, because the movie very clearly shows that a) he really struggles with the decision for a long time, knowing it's wrong and b) finally does it after almost killing himself and being heavily intoxicated, immediately regretting it. The only real gripe I have with the movie is that Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence have zero chemistry, which kind of kills the whole romantic element of the film.

Kung Pow only has a 13% critic rating and I love that movie. 69% audience score though so that might disqualify it.

I remember quite liking Slackers when I saw it (haven't rewatched it though, so my opinion might have changed). I think if this movie every time I hear the song "She'll be comin' 'round the mountain".

The Big Hit

Movies I saw 20 years ago it seems when maybe my tastes (and me too let's face it) were a little immature. Still love Kung Pow though

Hook (29% TomatoMeter).

But it was released in 1991, so it wouldn't count for the XKCD version. Also the audience score is 76%, so not really an unpopular opinion I guess.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is way better than anyone gives it credit for. It's a really fun movie.

I also really like Vanilla Sky even though critics hate it. It's a weird but good movie.

How Equilibrium has a 40% RT rating is beyond me. It's amazing.

I actually like:

• Hackers (31%)
• National Treasure (46%)
• Bandits (64%)

Idiocracy is one of my favorite movies. When it came out, it was far below 50%, but after some of the things on the movie started becoming true, it became popular.
