Ask Lemmy

Knight and Day is a light feel-good action comedy.

What's up with RT ratings though? A lot of movies I'd deem okayish have ratings < 50%.

The A Team for me. Just scrapes in at 48% rotten tomatoes. Wish they'd made a sequel.

I am a lover of trash, behold my list of trash:

• The Possession of Hannah Grace | RT 21%
• Death to Smoochy | RT 42%
• Reign of Fire | RT 42%

Death to Smoochy is a great gem if you haven't seen it.

Green Lantern. I think too many people had the expectation of that Green Lantern powers would be something more serious. They were always cartoonish, and Hal Jordan was always a bit of a dick. Ryan Reynolds was probably not the best choice, he's a bit too pretty for the role, but he had the right attitude. Still overall a fun movie.

Transcendence 19% I'm a sucker for sci-fi with a cool concept like mind uploading

Green Hornet 44% It's funny and the fight choreography is cool

I really like Brother Bear. I read some "rotten" reviews and I genuinely don't understand them; I can't find anything bad mentioned.

Batman V Superman.

Too many to list, but I take Tomato scores with a grain of salt unless they're unusually low. I don't know if I just have a high tolerance for crappy movies or scores are too intolerant there. I've also seen a good number with high scores I thought should be low. Sometimes they rate movies highly just for being unusual or for having some kind of social message, but that hardly ever means better.

Small Soldiers (1998) - got 49% Loved this film when I was a kid and I still do.

Difficult question to answer when you don't use rotten tomatoes, but the ones I've found are Mortal Engines, Fast and Furios, Oblivion (barely)

Pain & Gain only has a 50% score but it's arguably Michael Bay's best film in the last decade.

The Cable Guy and BASEketball flopped and are 55% and 41% respectively but those are two of my favorite comedies of all time.

Red Sonja ruled when I watched it not too long ago. Apparently everyone hated it, critics and audiences alike, but I thought it was fun.

Just watched it the other night, 2013 RIPD. It was crazy, out there, pretty funny and just enjoyable to watch. 12% on rotten tomatoes

Hitman

I just like the action, Timothy Olyphant, and like seeing Olga Kurylenko naked.

Hexed, a 1993 comedy starring Arye Gross.

9% Rottentomatoes, 36% Audience.

It's really, really dumb. I recently rented and rewatched it with my wife, who had never seen it and enjoyed it.

The lead character works in a hotel and is a serial liar / conman who meets up with the supermodel he keeps insisting is his girlfriend.
