Two movies come to mind:
Alita Battle Angel (2019) might be the best Anime adaptation to date. It has become one of my favorite movies of all time. I guess it wasn’t received badly, it has been barely received at all. This should have been a blockbuster, but most people aren’t even aware the movie exists! It’s such a shame, I really hope we get the follow up movies, because this one was great!
John Carter (2012) wasn’t great, I have to admit. I can’t argue with it’s 6.6 rating on IMDb. It’s a flawed movie, but it is so much fun! It’s an epic pulp adventure! If you go in expecting just that, turn off your brain and just enjoy the ride, you will have a great time! People were really too hard on it, when it came out!
+1 to both of these!
John Carter was accused of being too derivative, but hilariously its source material (the book A Princess of Mars) was the great-grandaddy of science fantasy as a genre. So JC is derivative of a bunch of movies that got their ideas and inspiration from APoM.
I loved Alita Battle Angel until the love interest plot. If they would’ve stripped that entire character from the movie it would be significantly higher up on my movies list.
Haven’t watched the movie, but I do know the romance plot was lifted from the manga.
The main issue wasn’t the fact that there was a romance, it was the fact that the romantic interest guy sucked. They could’ve done a romance well but I hated that guy and any time he came on screen.
Titan A.E. isn’t great, but for some reason i enjoyed it.
Ditto Battle: Los Angeles
Jason X is rated pretty bad even for a Friday the 13th film. I think it’s just pure fun. It has everything a Friday the 13th film needs and puts it on another level. It’s mostly dumb but it doesn’t really try to be taken serious.
I’m still waiting for the adventure to continue. Remo Williams was a great pilot that should have set up a series or at least some sequels
In a time where everything is getting a remake/sequel it’s definitely time we give one to Remo Williams. I can’t think of a more deserving movie.
Super Mario Bros (1993) is one of my favorite movies of all time.
It’s a bizarre mess of a film, full of counter-culture icons in a weird sci-fi dystopian setting. Despite being objectively awful, there isn’t another movie quite like it, and it’s a fun watch.
It’s a shame that the nightmarish production took such a heavy toll on everyone involved in the project because I’d like to see more screwball adaptations of things
Death to Smoochie (2002) is my #1. It has an insane cast, dark absurd humor, and is honestly beautifully shot and has great pacing. I mean, Robin Williams played a spiraling psychopathic technicolor disgraced childrens’ TV show host, opposite a naiive optimistic idealistic purple rhino played by Ed Norton. 🤌There’s children’s TV networks, the mob, murder, Nazis, meth, ice shows, soy hotdogs, merchandising, brain damaged boxers, and sing-alongs! The only thing it doesn’t have is explicit sex - I guess because that would be too much.
Joker 2 Electric Boogaloo. I thought it was well made, thought provoking, and a good critique of all the chuds who idolised the first film for the wrong reasons.
White Chicks
I liked Terry Cruise that was about it.
I liked the 2013 Johnny Depp Lone Ranger movie. Apparently nobody else did, though.
“Hi, I’m a banana and want a job as a telephone repair guy”
“You want the job? You got the job buddy!!!”
Going postal.
Megalopolis. Flew way over peoples heads, I didn’t really feel I fully understood it until the 2nd or 3rd viewing.

I love Dave Barry"s writing.
Having a finale where there is a nuke on a passenger plane come out right after 9/11 kind of killed it. They held back it’s release for years and them quietly dumped it.
Solo, It is probably my favorite Star Wars movie honestly
Guy Ritchie’s OG cut of Revolver (not the shit “director’s” cut).
Epic film.
