I thought the 2nd and 3rd Matrix movies were better than the venom spewed at them.

They didn't live up to the hype, but they were decent, and I'd watch Matrix 2 and 3 over Star Wars 1 and 2 any day.

Taking Lives.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, Angelina Jolie is so hooooooooooooooooooooot.

I liked the Hulk.

Certainly not a classic and it got pretty silly by the end but it's a superhero movie, not Sense and Sensibility.

Phanuthier · 03-20-2005, 03:28 PM

Of the more recent ones, I enjoyed Assault on Precinct 13.

Any movie with Jennifer Connelly is worth a couple of hours of my time.

I don't beleive Cop Land ever got great reviews, but I loved it.

Ditto on the Hulk.

I thought Howard Stern's movie "Private Parts" was pretty darn funny. A lot better than I thought it would be.

Cannibal the Musical, Dogma, Death To Smoochy, Jay and Silent Bob Stikes Back.

I don't take into account anything that critics say. I don't think I've read a movie review in over 2 years.

It's easy for them to sit back and say this part sucked, this character wasn't good, that CGI sucked, Until the critics can go and produce something better, I'll just depend on my own taste for everything thank you very much.

Oh Dear god... that movie was so so so bad.

Savvy27 · 03-20-2005, 05:36 PM

Way of the Gun, my absolute favorite movie ever.

Critics and even the director (in the commentary) didn't like how it turned out.

Others:
-Dude, Where's my car?
-Sudden Death
-13th Warrior (I remember mixed reviews... I thought this movie was amazing)
-Troy

Well I am going to go back a little further than most here and say Real Men, with Ritter and Belushi, not only was it slammed by critics, but was a very low grossing movie at the box office.

TheCommodoreAfro · 03-21-2005, 12:46 AM

Zoolander.

KevanGuy · 03-21-2005, 12:55 AM

I cant remember if it was the critics that didnt like it or if it flooped at the box office but O Brother, Where Art Thou? is one of my favorite movies.

Claeren · 03-21-2005, 02:32 AM

'Way of the Gun' got bad reviews?

That movie ROCKS. anyone reading this thread that has not seen it, go see it.... NOW!

:P

Claeren.

King Arthur - heard nothing but bad things about it - watched it twice in 24 hours I liked it so much.
Also liked the 2nd and 3rd Matrix movies after watching them again after their initial releases.

Clarkey · 03-21-2005, 01:21 PM

Papparazzi, Ladder 49.

kdogg · 03-21-2005, 01:58 PM

Catwoman.

I didn't watch it for the story.

TheyCallMeBruce · 03-21-2005, 02:19 PM

Gymkata. if you haven't seen it yet, go rent it. It's the best unintentional comedy in existance.
