Hermit Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Ok. Here's one... Speed Racer (2008, 40% on RT) I think folks saw the name Wachowski attached to it and figured it would be some uber serious Matrix movie but with the IP layered on thin like make up. Instead, it was true to the source material, kid friendly, and fun. A visual treat , not just with bright lights, but scene swaps that harkened to the old japanimation (IIIRC). And with elements of the classic hero's journey. In the end, Speed Racer's innocence is tested, but he makes it through with his integrity intact thanks to support from friends and family and a never say die attitude. Racer X was played beautifully by Matthew Fox and I swear the guy screamed superhero material in all the right ways. And the state of ninja quality decay is mentioned in movie! I'm going to say this... this movie achieved what it was trying to, it stayed close to the source material, and it looked great doing it. It is a GOOD movie! There, that's probably unpopular with some Jeffrywith1e, bigbywolfe, Logan D. Hurricanes and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattingly Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Jumping down to the bottom 10% sci-fi... I love The Postman (9%). I watch it frequently. Also, I liked House II (9%) better than the first. Old Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 I was going to put Dude, Where's My Car?, but it's not a post-2000 film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ternaugh Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 A couple that I found: Jurassic Park III (2001, RT: 49%/A: 36%): The third installment finally gave us the birdcages from the book, and it's worth it for just that, though it's great to see Alan Grant back, even if he does dream of talking velociraptors. I own it on Blu-ray and digital streaming. Men in Black II (2002, RT: 39%/A: 45%): Decent sequel to the original MiB. I own it on Blu-ray and digital streaming. Ones that I like, but are pre-2000: Runaway (1984, RT: 44%/A: 32%): Gene Simmons chews the scenery as the bad guy. Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979, RT/A: 42%): It's grown on me and is in my top 3 Star Trek movies. The score is one of the best ever. The Shadow (1994, RT: 36%, A: 44%): Pulpy fun, and the music's good, too. Hermit and Starlord 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starlord Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Well, the rules are post 2000, otherwise I could probably name dozens of movies easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Sahara (38% Tomatometer, 54% Audience score) - I thought this movie was thoroughly entertaining. It ain't Shakespeare, but I wasn't looking for that. I was looking for an adventure movie, and I though this one was pretty fun to watch. (I can understand why the franchise never took off as a result of this movie, though.) bigbywolfe and Hermit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlord Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Also, Kingdom of Heaven Not historically accurate at all, but there's something about it I like. Kickass Watchmen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Bushido Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 I have no idea when it came out, but I am the guy that liked Waterworld. Huge fan of the post-apocolyptic genre anyway (not you, Gamma World), and I thoroughly enjoyed it: went to see it three times.

PhilFleischmann Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 My adult life began well before 2000. Do I have to look up the movies on Rotten Tomatoes? Do I have to make sure they're post-2000? That starts to feel like work. What is the point of restricting it to post-2000? And why is Rotten Tomatoes the standard? After five attempts, thinking of movies I liked that I remember being panned by critics, the closest I could find to qualifying was 8 Heads in a Duffle Bag (1997) 11% Tomatometer, 35% Audience score.

My friend and I both loved Speed Racer, though we still argue over whether there might have been some shenanigans in the desert race, lol. Never saw JP3, but I did like all 4 other movies mentioned by Ternaugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 If you can post some movies that had below 50% and were released after 2000, then I can see if I can see if anything applies. I recall the Speed Racer cartoon which I disliked and the film which I really could not care less about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilFleischmann Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Of the ones mentioned so far, I agree with Men in Black II, Watchmen, and National Treasure. And maybe a half-agree with Joe Dirt. slikmar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
