Daredevil. Especially the director's cut. It's easily the best Marvel film released by 20th Century Fox. agreed x100. I thought Affleck did a great job, and if Elektra hadn't flopped, people wouldn't rag on this one so much. |

The only problem with that movie was the amount of screaming that Leon did throughout the movie. Star Wars Prequels. Serious as a heart attack. Only the first one is a bit rough with too much Jar Jar. AOTC is pretty good and I love ROTS. I didn't have too much of a problem with Jar Jar. My problem laid with the kid who played Anakin. I don't know if it was just the lines they gave him or it was his acting that was the problem, but I couldn't stand the kid. Rocky V. Spent a little too much time worrying about Balboa's relationship with his son, but as far as the actual boxing atmosphere around that time, it's pretty accurate for the era. It was all a big circus, where the press conferences were usually more exciting and entertaining that the fights. (Save for the Tommy Gunn-as-champion press conference, where one of the guys "playing" the role as a sports reporter - he was one in real-life, so yeah he was typecast - said, "That was a little too brutal, even for us. We're not normally that mean.") I liked it better than the fourth and the sixth installments. I think people just expected more because John G. Avildsen came back from the first film to direct. I don't care who directs it; if I liked it, it's good enough for me. I don't dislike V, but I like IV alot more. VI was alright, though there was a lot of great one-liners in that. |

I'll agree with some others who said Daredevil and Ghost Rider. Ben Affleck seems to get a lot of s*** just because he's Ben Affleck, but I think he did a great job in DD. Ghost Rider was a lot of fun, but it helps that I never really got the appeal of the Ghost Rider character beyond the badass imagery (flaming skull + motorcycle).
As for Creepshow 3...ugh. I went in with the lowest expectations you could imagine, and I still didn't find any enjoyment in it.
Anyway...Bio-Dome is great. It's been a while since I've seen it, but even a couple years ago I watched it and enjoyed it.
And I don't know if this counts but...Good Burger is a lot of fun to watch. Ed's bizarre personality still gets a laugh out of me to this day.

Crossroads (The Britney Spears movie). Okay, yes, the movie was cheesy and cliched, but it seriously was not horrible. If you take the movie for what it is, it isn't so bad. I think a lot of people hated on it because of Britney herself, but it really wasn't the worst movie ever. Not the best, but not the worst either.
Also, The Marine. I can admit the cheese factor, as well as the lack of realism, but if you watch the movie while putting your brain down, it is an entertaining action flick.

Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) and The Watchmen. Although the latter's hate came for the abundance of blue penis.

I had no problem with the blue wang (which is not to say that I loved it, but it didn't effect me. Aside from being blue, its nothing I haven't seen whenever I go to the bathroom). I just felt underwhelmed by the movie as a whole. *shrug* |

Last Action Hero.
--It's actually a great movie with an interesting plot and acting.
The Number 23.
--Some of Jim Carrey's best serious work and a solid movie altogether.
Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls
--Probably the second best Indiana Jones film. It's no Last Crusade, but nothing is.
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
--People always lump the new trilogy together and, when they do, they say that they all suck. Episode III does not suck. Episode III is either the second best, or the best Star Wars movie--bar none.
Jingle All The Way
--A great, memorable family Christmas comedy. It's really heartfelt and funny.
Mr. Brooks
--I remember this getting bad reviews when it came out, but it is one of Kevin Costner's best films.

True that, the directors cut of that film is fantastic, going with the theme Wolverine Origins and Punisher Warzone I tougth they both were gret yet got crapped on quite bad. I think the hatred for Wolverine stems not necessarily from it being a bad movie, but from the fact that the Weapon X story and Deadpool are very beloved by comic fans, and both were represented quite poorly in the movie. I know that was my issue with it. With Punisher: War Zone, I think the hatred comes from a lot of people really enjoying Thomas Jane in the role, and being pissed off that Lions Gate jerked him around and finally made a Punisher without him. Putting that aside, War Zone is awesome and honestly a much more faithful adaptation of the source material. Thank you sir Punisher warzone is a great movie in fact. I loved it. |

The Garbage Pail Kids Movie. The other day, my girlfriend and I had just watched one of my favorite movies, Ed Wood, and we had a hankering to watch a bad movie. We consulted a couple silly lists on the subject and found that a lot of people seemed to think the Garbage Pail Kids is a terrible movie.
We Netflix'd it, and we both enjoyed it, even though neither of us were fans of or remembered too much of the cards or the cartoon. Yeah, it was very silly, but I can think of a good many more kids movies that I enjoyed far less than this one. The puppets were kind of endearing in a creepy kind of way haha.

The same can be said for The Godfather Part III. And Jurassic Park 3. I actually found III better than II(Lost World). |

Gigli.
Ok don't get me wrong I'm not saying that the film is any good as it still did suck, was annoying smug and J-lo plays the least believable Lesbian in film history..... but people were overreacting when they were saying that it was one of the worst films of all time.

Halloween 3. Sure, it doesn't feature Mike Myers, but as a stand alone movie, it was pretty decent.
Also, as previously mentioned, Batman & Robin, Bio-Dome and the Police Academy series. For some mindless fun they work pretty well.

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith --People always lump the new trilogy together and, when they do, they say that they all suck. Episode III does not suck. I'm going to have to agree with this. The prequel trilogy, to me, went from "meh", to "ok", to "great". I guess all of that has to go to Anakin going from a whiny little hack to being slowly brainwashed by Palpatine into becoming this cold and ruthless bastard who slays children, into finally, Darth freakin' Vader. After a bunch of mediocrity, the prequels come full circle with a great closing chapter, into the timeline of the original trilogy we all know and love. |

The matrix trilogy. If you watch some of the episodes in the animatrix(especially The Second Renaissance), the third movie and the ending makes more sense. Plus the sequel movies couldn't live up to the hype.
It would have been better if the characters wouldn't lecture us with philosophical dialogue, but they were still decent flicks.
