The marketing for it was TERRIBLE and audiences were too stupid for it at the time. Thankfully, it’s getting the recognition it deserves. Just ten years ago, its IMDB rating was 5.7. It’s not sitting at 6.5, and that’s only going to get higher. I really need to watch this again as an adult. 9 hours ago, MacReady said: Waterworld is fun as hell. Great pull.

THE DUKE Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Me and my dad saw Waterworld in theatres and both of us really enjoyed it. Anaconda is another one i've always liked. One of the better JLo movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Prince Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) John Carter is a good film Edited July 12, 2023 by Fresh Prince 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartacus Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 For me two historical epics come to mind immediately: Troy & Kingdom of Heaven. Kingdom of Heavens directors cut also shores up the majority of holes the original cut making it IMO one of the better historical epics. I would place the directors cut closer to Gladiator than a failed movie. Its a shame the studio botched the editing process so much in the original release. It's not exactly historically accurate but it does show IMO one of the better pictures of the crusades and one of the best adaptations of Saladin. Edward Norton as King Baldwin IV is one of my favorite movie kings. The only one I enjoyed more was Alfred the Great played by David Dawson. Troy is just so much dumb fun. Brad Pitt just being a chad is pretty fun to watch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tetsujin Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Ace Ventura: Pet Detective - Some of the humor doesn't hold up, but some does. The mystery is decent. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - The first movie I thought was incredibly well-done and beautifully shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Pitt just being a chad is pretty fun to watch. Agree on both of those especially Kingdom of Heaven. The Director’s Cut is by far and away better, almost a completely different movie. Norton does a great job too. Thinking on a couple others since I just saw an article on how Netflix turned ratings around for Assassins Creed, that’s another of mine. But that also got me thinking about the Doom movie. The biggest complaint is that it wasn’t Doom, but more like Resident Evil in space. Essentially if you take Doom out of the title and crafted some generic sci-fi title, you would have a really good B-action flick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember it bombing when it came out and when I watched it recently just thought it was ahead of it's time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
