What other critically hated movies do you think should've made the list?
This is a good list. Knowing was a very freaky movie and very well done. I loved Constantine and Book of Eli. Both awesome movies.
Nick cage and Jim Carrie. Of all the millions of people who want to be actors, why put either one of these guys in a multi million dollar project. These guys have ruined more movies than anyone.
Majestick was great.
I can agree with many of these, but Book of Eli is utter shit. Long-winding and building tension towards an ultimately disappointing climax.
the cell, constantine, vanilla sky and the book of Eli should be on everyone´s bucket list.
The ending to Knowing is amazing. They turn something that should be frightening and make it beautiful.
I've seen all but The Majestic (Jim Carey ||shudder||), and enjoyed them immensely.
Haven't watched yet (btw)but my kids an I tore Suicide Squad down!!!
Grandma's Boy and Friday After Next. Those are some funny ass movies that you have to watch a few times to get all of the jokes.
David Lynch's Dune was brilliant, it's a shame it was so trashed by critics and was a box office failure.
I’ve never trusted critics, let alone rotten tomatoes
Book of Eli was AWESOME
The Book of Eli was just dumb, from concept to execution. The big reveal is that he has a copy of the bible. Eww…. burn that shit so it doesn't ruin the world again. And the guy was blind the whole time; like wtf.
Knowing is a really good movie
The Hunted and the Book of Eli are my favorites on this list, and among my favorite movies of all time.
The Hunted has the most authentic fighting sequences of any movie I've ever seen and both movies are deep in meaning.
Jim Carrey at 140 lol pet detective
I have only seen Constantine from this list. Thanks for giving me a bunch of new movies to watch. I've been bored watching the drivel in my Netflix suggestions.
the only good critic is one that isn't sold out to biasly support a movie that is sponsoring them or buying a lot of adspace on their site. So basically consumers and few youtube reviewers.
Critics are the same as the haters and trolls in social media. They hate and criticize because they don't have the mind and talent to make something good, like a movie.
I really liked "The Majestic". I never understood why more people didn't like it.
Anybody else think the Benicio del toro's character in the hunted wasn't actually crazy, that the military was trying to set him up and silence him because of what he knew?
You didn't put Stay in the list? Really?
The book of Eli is one of the best movie !!!!!!
I loved Knowing. Agreed with Ebert.
Why does super and Superbad look similar to me
I really enjoyed the hunted. Nothing flashy over the top bullshit hollywood styled.
If critics like it, I usually hate it.
