    Only 1 of 2 movies I have ever walked out of in the theatres. It’s so bad.

      • Brüno - 5.9
      • The Ringer - 5.8
      • MacGruber - 5.5
      • Jingle All The Way - 5.6

      I'm not gonna defend them as super great movies but I do feel they are underrated by a point. If Bruno dropped before the world saw Borat I think it would have been better recieved.

      How is Jingle All The Way at 5.6? It’s a banger Xmas classic.

        Robot Jox, I watched the hell out of this as a kid.. And no it shouldn't be rated any higher than it already is.

        I literally have never met someone that even knows this movie. It’s one of my all time favorites. I watch it from time to time. Crash 🤜 and 🤛 Burn!

          Robocop 2014

          I think its extremely underrated.

          I thoroughly enjoyed it, because out of all the sci-fi movies I've seen in the last two decades, this one has a very high likely chance of playing out exactly as indicated in the film.

          We will blur the line between man and machine, and eventually have a identity crisis.

          We will very likely see autonomous drone platoons being coordinated by a few or single human operator.

          Those drones will likely be deployed in a military fashion first with push-back on deploying on home soil as a police force.

          Until they will inevitably be deployed and used against civilians.

          Also kudo's to the scene where he is stripped down to the bare parts, and the entire theater went quiet. There's a level of existential dread, when your 'being' is laid bare that the reality is... you... everything about you.... is just a small clump of grey matter.

          This movie's main issue is that given the choice, I'd still rather watch the 1987 release. Like most remakes, it didn't exceed its predecessor enough to justify its own existence.

          Gimme that 2012 Dredd though, that was sick.

            Not to shame your taste or anything, but I've loudly chuckled when I've read this one. That's the only movie I've walked out of the theater from. Not joking. IMHO it is _over_rated, even a 0/10 is too high of a rating for that clusterfuck.

              I'm asking because an IMDb rating cutoff above 6.5+-5 seems to generally do a good job making sure I don't regret watching something. But what am I missing among the sub-6? I know they exist, but it is hard to select among seas of...bad movies.

                  I enjoy pretty much every movie in some respects, but if you haven’t watched Deadly Prey (1987) you’re missing out.

                  It’s the worst story tropes of Rambo, The Room, and a 2AM cable access TV show and it’s somehow so utterly horrible that I couldn’t stop watching and laughing.

                  It definitely shouldn’t be rated higher. But it is almost must-watch for how bad it is. Easily one of the five worst movies I’ve ever seen.

                  If we’re not talking about horribly shot and scripted movies, then I’d have to say Passenger 57. Sure, it’s an overly simplistic 90s formulaic movie, but I liked it. Plus it’s got Elizabeth Hurley, Bruce Greenwood, and Tom Sizemore, as well as Ernie Lively (Blake’s dad), before they all went on to larger careers.

                          My wife and teenage step son had never seen this before, so we all tried watching it last year. Every single one of us fell asleep. It wasn't nearly as funny and entertaining as I remembered.

                          But that won't stop me from saying "IT'S GOT WHAT PLANTS CRAVE!" at least once a month.

                                  IDK about "rated higher" but I love Jet Li's The One

                                  There's exactly 127 universes in the multiverse. Why? Never discussed. And if one version of you kills another, every other version gets that much stronger. So Jet Li plays both the hero and the villain as well as an assortment of the villain's victims. Jason Statham is in it too, as the hotheaded junior partner multiverse cop out to bring the villain down.

                                  Weird guns! Weird tech! A prison universe! Super powered martial arts! A climactic fight in a foundry where you can tell the hero from the villain by the color of their shirt! Man I love this movie!

                                        The ending scene of the film reminds me of the cover for the OG DOOM. But instead of a green armored space marine fighting a swarm of demons, it's Jet Li beating up a swarm of dirty prison inmates.

                                          My favorite lowest rated movie is Steel, with a rating of like 3 stars on IMDB. It's got some incredibly stupid, but quotable lines.
