What movie is in your top list despite its absolute shit rating? (self.asklemmy)

I think for me it's alien: covenant. I was really interested in the ideas explored in prometheus and covenant just expanded on them. I don't get much into the details of why it is or isn't a good movie.

Luckily, though, HBO ran raised by wolves which really delved into ideals about AI and planet seeding etc. So that itch got way scratched even if the run was cut short.

Boondock Saints. It's so bad, but I love it.

Oh damn that's a perfect example of what OP was asking for. 23% rotten tomatoe rating with 92% audience rating

I had to go look it up, I couldnt believe it!

Such a good movie!

I only liked the first one. The ones after weren't so good.

"THERE WAS A FIREFIGHT!!!" Willen Dafoe was brilliant.

There's only one sequel with a 2nd supposedly in the works.

[–] StickyDango 1 points 3 days ago

This shows how much I didn't enjoy the second one - I couldn't even remember if there was one or two sequels, but I do remember there was supposedly another instalment in the works.
