What are the low-rated movies you enjoyed the most or think should be rated much higher?
-
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 actually like the Tom Cruise War of the Worlds good sound mixing too.

No, but I will now! Hell yeah!!!

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!

Super Mario Bros Movie.
The Bob Hoskins / John Leguizamo one? I love it.

I believe a new MacGruber is on the way
Sweet! I still need to watch the show from a couple years ago, that got better reviews lol

wrote last edited by [email protected]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.
"The alloy of those weapons is not magnetic."
"Well dip me in shit and roll me in breadcrumbs!"
"An ounce of pretention is worth a pound of manure."

I unironically love Rubber. Not a single person I've shown has shared that sentiment haha
It's about a tire that blows things up with It's mind
Edit: doesn't anyone know how to make spoilers hidden? I wanna type something but dont want to just put it out there
I saw that on the festival circuit. Still a highlight of my moviegoing career.

Thats the one.

I had no idea it was rated so low. Such a cool movie.

I think a lot of the Quentin D movies will be hit or miss depending on the person. It is such a strange concept for a film I quite liked but overall not his best work IMO. For more weirdness I gotta recommend Smoking Causes Coughing which I liked a whole lot more
-

That had a bad rating? I thought it was a decent movie, decent acting, decent story, decent special effects, like most of Cruise's movies.
Hate the person love the actor, he had a long string of good movies
-
Haven't watched it, but I read it's pretty much a take for take remake of the original which was WAY better. The original is awesome.

But imma just go and say the spoilers cause I want to talk about it

The reason Rubber continues for so long is because you are the old man who refuses to die. The movie was supposed to end when they all ate the poison, but continues because the old man was stubborn. The movie literally asked you to turn it off, but youre just as stubborn so it has to continue. It begs you to stop, but you have to see what happens so the show must go on.
:::I love it

I generally watch 7 and above movies only, except for horror which tends to be rated lower. For that I watch 6 and above. So maybe you should watch horror from 5.5 and above based on your general rating (if you like horror that is)?

The old man is you. The movie has to continue because you didnt eat the poison and turn the movie off.
