    Constantine. I’ve seen it dozens of times and it never gets old. Tilda Swinton as Gabriel and Peter Stormare as Satan are a big part of why.

    I watched Last Action Hero a few years ago for the first time, and it honestly didn’t even feel that dated. It held up!

    Hot take, I enjoyed Chappie. I don’t care that there’s some self-insert band in there, it’s just a funny robot movie

    For me it was Alice in Wonderland (2010). I really enjoyed the whole “I do six impossible things before breakfast” thing. I was also really drunk when I watched it.

    I loved The Chronicles of Riddick! It’s bombastic space opera, of which we have much too little that isn’t Star Wars tripe, and Vin Diesel is perfect in this role.

    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.

    In 2006, a movie was released in which an evil AI is defeated by Shia LeBouf.

    The evil AI’s plan? Kill the president!

    Why does the AI want to kill the president? he has too much unchecked power and bombed village of innocent people in the middle east and the AI told him not to because it could not confirm if there was actually a terrorist there.

    How does Shia LeBouf defeat the evil AI? Opening fire at the capitol to cause a panic.

    The war in Iraq was ramping up at the time, how was there not rioting at screenings? How is this not a controversial movie?

    The acting is not great, but it deserves better than 27% on Rotten Tomatoes when the message of the film is the government does bad stuff and should be persecuted for it

    There’s lots of them but one that hasn’t been mentioned is Sucker Punch. It’s 6.1 on IMDB and 22% on Rotten Tomatoes and I loved the visuals.

    Also, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is terrible but everyone needs to watch the opening sequence

    Van Wilder

    Soundtrack is incredible, it’s one of Tara Reid’s best roles, the cast is absolutely stacked, and IMO it’s basically Deadpool without the costume. It’s Ryan Reynolds best movie to date, and if he doesn’t return for a second (the sequel doesn’t exist) his career afterwards is ultimately pointless.

    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.

    Batman V Superman from 2016.

    My local theatre had an early early show: an early morning premiere, a day earlier than the official release date.

    In spite of the, frankly, stupid trailer #2, I was still excited to see the first live action movie with Batman and Superman with my fellow nerds.

    We came out of the theatre thinking it was a good movie, with Lex Luthor’s odd shenanigans aside (mannerisms, maintaining tabs on meta humans with well designed logos, etc.).

    I specifically remember appreciating and talking about the movie’s score (Hans Zimmer), cinematography (Larry Fong), and costumes (Michael Wilkinson and Ironhead Studios).

    While driving back, one of us checked the reviews and box office indications, and it was abysmal. The reaction was so bad that there was unspoken agreement between us to never talk about it again in public.

    I still like the movie, and like the Ultimate Edition even more. But I wasn’t a fan of all the movies that followed.

    E: grammar
