Tango & Cash
Raw Deal
Missing In Action
Wanted Dead Or Alive

Pretty much any 80's action movie.

Tango & Cash, yeah, I loved that movie, Kurt & Sly worked well together in that one!

Critics? Who are they? I'm my own critic

Banjo · 03-16-2008, 09:01 PM

The Money Pit

Zipzap713 · 03-16-2008, 09:05 PM

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

All local newspaper critic just grilled them.

EricJ · 03-16-2008, 09:24 PM

I'll grant that "World's End" was an unholy mess that even the second movie wasn't...

But even this is coming from one who still doesn't understand the homicidal frenzies leveled at the Alec Baldwin "The Shadow".

As for films I liked but critics hated:

The Hot Chick
Across the Universe
Hollow Man
The Day After Tomorrow
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
Awake
Captivity
The Other Sister
I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry
The Heartbreak Kid
Tommy Boy
10,000 B.C.
Funny Games
Semi-Pro
Rambo
Fred Claus
P2
Jumper
etc. etc. etc.

I have to agree with you on Jumper. It's not bad.

Norbit
School for Scoundrels

DeeChizzle · 03-16-2008, 10:23 PM

I gotta agree the critics were pretty harsh on Man on Fire. My wife actually got a little teary eyed at the end of this movie. No where near the stinker that the critics are making it out to be.

Clark Kent · 03-16-2008, 11:53 PM

Most of the mainstream critics hate horror movies. I'm not even sure why they attempt to review them because the critical reviews are always so predictable.

If I remember right, Ebert and Ropert liked The Devil's Rejects...

Hide and seek
running scared
Natural Born Killers

Just a few that I can think of.

ausamerika · 03-17-2008, 12:31 AM

Temple of Doom....

Even the director didn't like it, but it's my favorite of the series.

SolidusSnake00Z · 03-17-2008, 03:53 AM

10,000 BC? Are you serious? why are you people listing this movie?

Palanthian · 03-17-2008, 07:46 AM

Ultraviolet,
Silent Hill,
any Jason Stathom movie,
Shoot Em Up,
Final Fantasy : The Spirits Within,

),
Most Uwe Boll movies(Except House of the Dead....that was a horrible experience lol),
Star Wars : Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace,
And a bunch more. lol

From Rotten Tomatoes:

The Shawshank Redemption

Only 88% (6 Critics didn't like it)

I thought it would get a solid 100% since it's one of the best movies of all-time...
