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.

      Mate, I was fully prepared to create alt accounts and review boost it past 6, but it’s already 6.2. Crisis averted.

      Now the RT score though, critics got it so SO wrong.

      This is definitely one of those movies you either hate or love. And I was just the right age /immaturity to love it. Showed it to some 12 year old cousins and only like 2 of 4 liked it.

        I don’t think they ever were planning a sequel. Pretty sure that was just a meta joke in the movie and all of the “preview” scenes were just deleted scenes.

      Only 1 of 2 movies I have ever walked out of in the theatres. It’s so bad.

          Everything everywhere all at once

          E: and I nearly walked out of the first LOTR in theatres but pushed through.

            To couldn’t get into this either. Kung pow was good though, but I saw it as a kid.

              I was in high school when Kung Pow was in theatres and I went with my friends. Half way through I just got up and waited outside for them. It just wasn’t for me.
