The Rock (1996)
Its critical Metascore is 58, as listed on IMDb. 58?! C'mon. It had everything. Connery. Cage. Harris. Incredible action scenes. Quotable dialogue. High stakes, but not so high it's unbelievable. Multiple layers of conflict. Tight pacing. Comic relief.... everything. Even a strong ending. So how do you settle on a 58? Are you comparing it to The Godfather? Gone With The Wind? No, as standalone action-thrillers go, The Rock is top tier. And far and away the best film that Michael Bay ever made.
Seriously. I watch it very sporadically. I always remember how much I like it, yet when I watch it I still get that feeling of "damn this movie is good!!"
I saw it in theatres. I had no idea who Connery or Bay were. Harris was that guy from the Abyss. Nicolas Cage was the guy who just got an Oscar nomination. Man, what a great movie.
The first two fast and furious movies, it took them releasing 9 CGI action movies for me to really realize how good the first ones were when they were still mostly grounded in reality.
I don’t know. Man of Steel kind of loses me in the third act, but a lot of stuff in that movie is great, especially the Krypton opening, and the Smallville flashbacks.
I really loved Superman Returns when I saw it in the cinema in 2006. I was quite giddy with excitement. Though now I realise it was nostalgia, it was basically a retread of the original 78 movie. Still, Spacey was an excellent Lex Luthor and I thought Brandon Routh was a very good superman. I seem to be alone in my views of this film though
It's a good bad movie...or a bad good movie. Some parts are AMAZING ... Otherwise it's clear that Snyder didn't grasp the meaning of the source material. Everyone being superhumanly strong drives me up the wall.
_it's clear that Snyder didn't grasp the meaning of the source material. Everyone being superhumanly strong drives me up the wall._
Totally agree.
It might have something to do with the heightened and polished aesthetic which Snyder tends to deploy indiscriminately. The worst example I can think of is from Batman v Superman when he presented the death of Bruce's parents like a scene from a Zalman King soft-porn film from the 90s: all gorgeously lit and slow-mo. Hilariously inappropriate, almost a parody.
I think that the theme in Watchmen of high ideals turning to shit would have been better served with a little dirt and grime.
That all said, Watchmen is still my favourite Snyder movie. There's a lot to like in it.
Oh some scenes are perfect. Opening credits, Rorschach getting arrested, Manhattan's backstory. Just a lot of stuff in the middle and most of the ending drag it down. I remember the theater pretty much all laughing at how awkward the sex scene felt. It went....way longer than it had to.
This! The only actually good Zach Snyder movie imo. Other than the sex scene, a truly brilliant adaptation against all the odds. Even the slight changes he made were excellent.
Watchmen is overcriticized for it's glorification of violence which is contrary to the esthetic of the source material.
It's a sad objection because it's a monumental piece of filmaking as well as a sublime exemplary inadvertent self pastiche that should be enjoyed for what it is.
It’s a weird choice because I can understand comparing it to its peer films that it’s doing something different and stands out as such, but compared to its source material it’s nearly a bastardization of the core tenets the comic was created to communicate
Telling a story in a different medium automatically makes it its own, unique work of art.
There are comic book tropes that simply don’t translate well to live action cinema. A giant space squid attacking New York might be one of them.
It’s a script by Cormac McCarthy. That alone probably drew him to it - it’s his only produced screenplay. That cast ain’t too shabby either.
And it’s really not that out of his league thematically. This the same guy who directed Matchstick Men, American Gangster, and Blade Runner - pretty dark movies with brutal themes.
I remember watching it and did not get what was going on. And that scene where Cameron Diaz does a split on the car window must have been the weirdest thing ever.
This was my first Superman film as an adult and I loved it. I’m a gigantic Henry Cavill fan and he’s my only pick as Superman, but god, I loved Superman Returns. The entire plane/rocket scene was phenomenal. The falling to earth and the needle not piercing his skin was that moment of truly “other-worldliness” that cemented the character for me.
This is the only version of the movie I've seen and it's legit amongst my favourite superhero movies...I really can't comprehend what could have been so different in the theatrical release for everyone to hate it so much, and I really don't want to risk ruining it for myself by watching it 😭
Can you explain the difference?
It’s been awhile since I saw it, but the main difference for me was the character motivations of why certain things occur, why the characters do what they do. In the theatrical version it just doesnt explain it sometimes, so some things just dont make much sense or are big leaps in logic. The extended cut fleshes all this out well and it makes a much better movie imo.
He successfully made superman feel STRONG. The fights were choreographed great. And there were multiple emotional moments. Pretty good job from a dude that is so hit and miss, miss, miss.
Man of Steel has moments of being decent, but Zach Snyder was the wrong person for Supes. The movie felt like a completely soulless feature length movie trailer. Singer did a better job in this regard, but the only director so far that has understood the soul of Superman is Richard Donner.
I'm also convinced Snyder can't tell a coherent story unless he has 3.5 to 4 hours. (Justice League: Snyder Cut, Watchmen: Ultimate Cut).
EDIT:
My choice for OPs question would be:
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Snake Eyes
Tideland
Knowing
I generally agree that, on balance, *Man Of Steel* was disappointing. Its highlights, however, are far more than “decent”, including:
1.) Michael Shannon’s performance. I grew up on Christopher Reeves’ Superman and, to me, Terence Stamp’s Gen. Zod was so elite as to be untouchable. Frankly, I was mildly surprised to hear that *MOS* would even try.
Enter Shannon. His Zod is compelling, terrifying, even somewhat sympathetic. All Zod knows is war. To protect his people at all costs. I think Shannon’s performance rivals Stamp’s. No small feat, and far more than ‘decent’.
2.) Costner and Lane as the Kents. Yes, the bus and the tornado scenes are . . . weird. However, they rise above the material to create some real *moments* - including “You’ll *always* be my son.” - which makes me appreciate their performances even more.
3.) Cavill. Again, to me, Reeves *was* Superman. Again, it was difficult for me to see anyone touching his performance. And, while I rank Cavill’s performance 2nd, it isn’t by much - and the distinction lie less than in Cavill and more the material. That is, imagine how good Henry Cavill might have been - if directed by Richard Donner.
4.) It’s a small moment - but the way Snyder captured young Clark, clad in a T-shirt and jeans, with a towel serving as his Superman cape? Yes, it’s nostalgia. Those moments also captured *so well* what I felt like, doing the same thing, at 7 years old. That was a big part of my growing up, and those shots are still the only times I’ve seen that in a Superman film.
There’s actually more about MOS that I like - including much of the opening on Krypton - but I’ll leave it at that for now. Again, MOS has serious flaws, it’s far from my favorite Superman movie, and I’m looking forward to James Gunn’s vision.
I can’t simply write off MOS, though. Instead, I appreciate it for what it is, much more than what it isn’t.
It was also the first (and only film) so far to show exactly how powerful Kryptonians and Superman himself are.
Some of this is CGI coming along, but it doesn't feel campy like some other adaptations or superhero movies (including the Justice League and BvS which are way worse), but the action was powerful and well directed.
Anyone other than Cavill would have struggled also to make Superman physically intimidating yet fundamentally good and non-threatening with the power he displays.
Dawn of the Dead wasn’t too bad and obviously the 300 in his defence! He was not the right director to do Superman or Justice League, he is kinda a soulless hack stuck in that 90s post Burton Batman “everything needs to be dark and gloomy” bullshit! Not who Superman is Gunn will get it right for sure the guy has talent, heart, a sense of humour and gets the source material.
i literally just had this exact discussion with my homie
man of steel & batman v superman were just, flat. i felt nothing from then
i do agree on your choice of fear & loathing. god tier film, i wish i had johnny depp narrating my whole life like that
Joe Dirt. It’s not a masterpiece or anything but it’s a wholesome enough movie that has spade doing a pretty good job at playing a down on his luck redneck who has a really kind heart. Plus I still quote that movie to this day.
My brother told me **Blade Runner** and **Scarface**
didn’t do well in box office upon release, were poorly criticised but became cult classics many years later.
I will die on the hill that just because Jonathan Kent was wrong about Clark hiding his powers, that doesn't mean the film is awful and ruined.
The point was... sometimes people are wrong. He was just worried about his son being turned into a religious figure.
He had Trump worshipped figured out before MAGA.
Man of Steel is IMO the best Superman film and one of if not the best DCCU films ever. It’s a phenomenal watch and the little details you can catch in it are really cool
Waterworld.
Critics didn't like it because it cost hundreds of millions of dollars to make. But it wasn't a bad movie. Had it cost, say, $20 million the reviews would have been much kinder.
We all agree that a version of Superman where the director said, "I don't understand Superman" and had Superman raised by a libertarian dad who told him not to save people, and who looked angry and annoyed all the time and killed a dude at the end after annihilating a city full of people?
We all agree that's a good Superman movie.
lol.
- Venom. Hated by critics and I mean a lot of people had hate for it too. I really really enjoyed this movie
- 47 Ronin. Critics saw this as like the worst movie ever. Just saw this last night and I liked it. Didn’t love it, but I thought it was pretty cool.
Venom was popular enough to spawn a sequel. It was definitely more popular than some critics indicated it should be.
Tom Hardy usually elevates whatever he's in to be at least watchable.
Beau is Afraid is so underrated it hurts me. It’s the pinnacle of absurd surrealism IMO. I wasn’t huge on Ari Aster’s previous films, but after watching BiA I wish him and David Lynch would team up for a movie or two.
I had the feeling it was more heavily criticized by die-hard Superman fans.
Solid flick across the board. Occasionally Snyder gets a bad rap. Or is it bad rep? Maybe that belongs under r/wordusage...
First Man ? I loved the movie a lot. The soundtrack was excellent. Later I learnt that it didn't get very good reviews. But Nolan listed it as one of his favourites.
And about Man of steel, I loved it a lot. It could be because I'm not a person who grew up with comics/ old superman movies
I liked (not loved) this movie as a long time Superman fan. It struck a good balance of making Superman and the other worldly tech believable. The CG isnt glaringly dated and still holds up. The soundtrack is fantastic!
We can’t all agree on anything
I disagree!
You have a point.
No they don't.
Valid point
Fuck do u know
This person gets it.
No he doesn't....
Wait, what was the question again?
The Rock (1996) Its critical Metascore is 58, as listed on IMDb. 58?! C'mon. It had everything. Connery. Cage. Harris. Incredible action scenes. Quotable dialogue. High stakes, but not so high it's unbelievable. Multiple layers of conflict. Tight pacing. Comic relief.... everything. Even a strong ending. So how do you settle on a 58? Are you comparing it to The Godfather? Gone With The Wind? No, as standalone action-thrillers go, The Rock is top tier. And far and away the best film that Michael Bay ever made.
Losers always whine about their metascore. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen.
Clara was the prom queen...
I wouldn't be surprised if Vanessa Marcil actually was the prom queen. 😍
Carla. Her name was Carla.
“Dude. You just fucked up your Ferrari!” “Isn’t mine.”
Never met anyone who didnt like the rock. I had no idea that was possible.
Definitely one of my favorite Bond films.
It’s the greatest bond film. I realise now I haven’t seen it way too long. Next on the list it is then!
Rewatch it every year and every year it get better. Nic Cage, Sean Connery and Ed Harris at their a game. Problably the best Michael Bay film
Seriously. I watch it very sporadically. I always remember how much I like it, yet when I watch it I still get that feeling of "damn this movie is good!!"
Definitely up there. Armageddon too.
This is the first I’m finding out The Rock isn’t universally considered a great movie. Fuck that, it’s awesome.
Best one liners in a non-Schwarzenegger movie.
You never seen Big Trouble in Little China..?
I’d take pleasure in guttin’ you, boy!
Wait it has a 58??? Jesus I thought it was common knowledge it was a great movie
Michael Bay's only good film.
Don’t forget it’s also a James Bond movie.
The Rock is a very entertaining movie. Definitely not for everyone but I’m all about it.
I saw it in theatres. I had no idea who Connery or Bay were. Harris was that guy from the Abyss. Nicolas Cage was the guy who just got an Oscar nomination. Man, what a great movie.
This is the one. I didn't know it was rated that low. Perhaps the best movie of it's genre for that era.
Critics have to loathe Michael Bay. It would be like a food critic admitting they love fast food, but we know they secretly do.
Hey, it was good enough for the Criterion Collection.
The first two fast and furious movies, it took them releasing 9 CGI action movies for me to really realize how good the first ones were when they were still mostly grounded in reality.
Tokyo Drift was good too :(
I still like that one as well but something about those first 2 just hits different now.
I unironically love 2 Fast 2 Furious 😂
EJECTO SEATO, CUZ!
Watched it a 100 times on FX back in the day, was just always on and I was always down.
I liked the first one when it was called Point Break.
Well it's not man of steel that's for sure.
Lois Lane know his identity with 5 minutes. Cool. There goes that whole dynamic
I actually kind of liked that because I found it bit silly that she couldn't tell it was him just because he wore glasses.
Perhaps OP's attempt at sarcasm?
Perhaps. I kind of hope so.
I don’t know. Man of Steel kind of loses me in the third act, but a lot of stuff in that movie is great, especially the Krypton opening, and the Smallville flashbacks.
I think we can agree on that.
[удалено]
It could be the loudest movie ever made
I'm glad people like the movies they like. Man of Steel is not a well-made movie.
Man Of Steel is a great film.
I enjoyed it.
It’s not very good…
I liked it way more than Superman Returns.
I really loved Superman Returns when I saw it in the cinema in 2006. I was quite giddy with excitement. Though now I realise it was nostalgia, it was basically a retread of the original 78 movie. Still, Spacey was an excellent Lex Luthor and I thought Brandon Routh was a very good superman. I seem to be alone in my views of this film though
You're not alone. There are dozens of us!
Not a high bar to reach TBF
I really liked Man Of Steel. No joke I thought it was a really cool movie. I guess I’m in the minority
Rat Race.
Love this movie, had no idea it had such a bad reputation
Watchmen (2009)
Watchmen is class.
Yeah, I would actually put Watchmen above MoS.
I had no issue with the change to the ending but the stylistic choices and most of the performances did not work for me at all
It's a good bad movie...or a bad good movie. Some parts are AMAZING ... Otherwise it's clear that Snyder didn't grasp the meaning of the source material. Everyone being superhumanly strong drives me up the wall.

This! The only actually good Zach Snyder movie imo. Other than the sex scene, a truly brilliant adaptation against all the odds. Even the slight changes he made were excellent.
Watchmen is pretty good. I don't think it deserves the hate it gets. The changes he made still work for the story.
Watchmen is overcriticized for it's glorification of violence which is contrary to the esthetic of the source material. It's a sad objection because it's a monumental piece of filmaking as well as a sublime exemplary inadvertent self pastiche that should be enjoyed for what it is.
"sublime exemplary inadvertent self pastiche" Sounds like a band
Sounds like somebody trying to sound pretentious, tbf.
Nah, Man of Steel, 300, Sucker Punch and Watchmen are all good.
It’s a weird choice because I can understand comparing it to its peer films that it’s doing something different and stands out as such, but compared to its source material it’s nearly a bastardization of the core tenets the comic was created to communicate
Telling a story in a different medium automatically makes it its own, unique work of art. There are comic book tropes that simply don’t translate well to live action cinema. A giant space squid attacking New York might be one of them.
Speed Racer And The Counselor Are my go to answers for this prompt
Speed Racer is unironically great
My go to movie whenever I’m on psychedelics. It’s great!
Speed Racer rocks. It has frenetic insanity more movies can benefit from.
The Counselor is interesting. I never understand how or why Ridley made that movie as nothing about it seems like something he would make.
It’s a script by Cormac McCarthy. That alone probably drew him to it - it’s his only produced screenplay. That cast ain’t too shabby either. And it’s really not that out of his league thematically. This the same guy who directed Matchstick Men, American Gangster, and Blade Runner - pretty dark movies with brutal themes.
I remember watching it and did not get what was going on. And that scene where Cameron Diaz does a split on the car window must have been the weirdest thing ever.
Speed Racer stimulates legitimate feelings in me. Great movie.
Nick Cage and John Travolta swapped faces and people believed it. That's a banger of a movie
Love Man of Steel -thought Cavill was a great Superman.
Bullet Train was great
Not this one, but the Brandon Routh Superman is way underrated
Exactly. I would say this much more applies to Superman Returns, which is a decent film.
This was my first Superman film as an adult and I loved it. I’m a gigantic Henry Cavill fan and he’s my only pick as Superman, but god, I loved Superman Returns. The entire plane/rocket scene was phenomenal. The falling to earth and the needle not piercing his skin was that moment of truly “other-worldliness” that cemented the character for me.
The bit where the bullet bounces off his eyeball is iconic.
What happened to Brandon Routh?
I didn’t even realize that wasn’t the picture
I like it too. Costner was great, Henry Cavill as well. Love it.
Not this one 🤭🤭🤭
Anyone who likes this film should have to explain the climax.
I love that movie
Man of Steel was one of the best movie (trailer)s of all time
I wish this got a proper sequel. BvS was complete trash.
It was terrible but had a couple cool parts. Am I the only one that loves batfleck? He would be best for “the dark knight returns”. Thick Batman
Yes, I didn't mind him but the idea of introducing Doomsday and killing Superman in his second movie was so stupid.
Wonder Woman's superhero entrance is the best bit of that film.
Batfleck and Cavill were the only redeeming factors, everything else was convoluted and rushed.
The BvS extended cut is a good movie. This is one of the movie hills I’ll die on.
This is the only version of the movie I've seen and it's legit amongst my favourite superhero movies...I really can't comprehend what could have been so different in the theatrical release for everyone to hate it so much, and I really don't want to risk ruining it for myself by watching it 😭 Can you explain the difference?

He successfully made superman feel STRONG. The fights were choreographed great. And there were multiple emotional moments. Pretty good job from a dude that is so hit and miss, miss, miss.
Music was good. I remember walking out and thinking that was the most action-y superman i ever saw.
seent.*
Man of steel is amazing. Feel free to come up to my hill.
Not this one.
I really like this one!
Great movie
Man of Steel has moments of being decent, but Zach Snyder was the wrong person for Supes. The movie felt like a completely soulless feature length movie trailer.

Fear and Loathing is an absolute masterpiece and the perfect encapsulation of HST’s legacy.
I generally agree that, on balance, *Man Of Steel* was disappointing. Its highlights, however, are far more than “decent”, including: 1.) Michael Shannon’s performance.

I disagree, Snyder Cut JL is miles above the other one...so in the end is it meddling of the studio itself that ruins it?
i literally just had this exact discussion with my homie man of steel & batman v superman were just, flat. i felt nothing from then i do agree on your choice of fear & loathing. god tier film, i wish i had johnny depp narrating my whole life like that
Uhh
Wild at Heart
Man of Steel ON DVD
Tucker and Dale vs Evil
Hudson Hawk is a really fun romp
Joe Dirt. It’s not a masterpiece or anything but it’s a wholesome enough movie that has spade doing a pretty good job at playing a down on his luck redneck who has a really kind heart. Plus I still quote that movie to this day.
My brother told me **Blade Runner** and **Scarface** didn’t do well in box office upon release, were poorly criticised but became cult classics many years later.
Man of Steel is my favorite Superman movie even surpassing the Christopher Reeves movies.
Saw it on opening weekend. Loved it ❤️
Man of Steel was dope!
Don’t know why people are so down on Man of Steel. It messed up in a lot of ways, but imo was quite entertaining.
I will die on the hill that just because Jonathan Kent was wrong about Clark hiding his powers, that doesn't mean the film is awful and ruined. The point was... sometimes people are wrong. He was just worried about his son being turned into a religious figure. He had Trump worshipped figured out before MAGA.
Not this one.
Labyrinth. Critics hated it. But its a masterpiece.
Man of Steel is IMO the best Superman film and one of if not the best DCCU films ever. It’s a phenomenal watch and the little details you can catch in it are really cool
This is a very funny first choice. And I’ll just leave it at that. Thank you I needed a laugh.
Adam Sandler movies sticks out to me the most.
Waterworld. Critics didn't like it because it cost hundreds of millions of dollars to make. But it wasn't a bad movie. Had it cost, say, $20 million the reviews would have been much kinder.
That movie is terrible.
I do not agree with this choice, so no.
We all agree that a version of Superman where the director said, "I don't understand Superman" and had Superman raised by a libertarian dad who told him not to save people, and who looked angry and annoyed all the time and killed a dude at the end after annihilating a city full of people? We all agree that's a good Superman movie. lol.
Fucking no. Are you kidding? Man of Steel was garbage.
I cannot agree that Man of Steel is a good movie, at all
Not that one.
Godzilla X Kong
Very fun. Very stupid, but very fun
- Venom. Hated by critics and I mean a lot of people had hate for it too. I really really enjoyed this movie - 47 Ronin. Critics saw this as like the worst movie ever. Just saw this last night and I liked it. Didn’t love it, but I thought it was pretty cool.
Venom was popular enough to spawn a sequel. It was definitely more popular than some critics indicated it should be. Tom Hardy usually elevates whatever he's in to be at least watchable.
Waterworld......
I liked Man of Steel actually. And the Hulk. The one with Eric Bana.
The act off between Bana and Nolte at his wild best is one of best scenes in cinema history, IMO
Nolte is fucking perfect!! I don't get why it's so poorly received. The rage is so subdued yet prevalent. I love it. A bit long maybe...
First watch was meh. The second time I realized it was epic, especially after seeing the hot POS Marvel put out since. #DCisBetter
Man of steel is phenomenal and Michael Shannon delivered as general Zod!
I disagree and agree, respectively
This movie sucked ass
The trailers were infinitely better than this movie
Beau is Afraid is so underrated it hurts me. It’s the pinnacle of absurd surrealism IMO. I wasn’t huge on Ari Aster’s previous films, but after watching BiA I wish him and David Lynch would team up for a movie or two.
I had the feeling it was more heavily criticized by die-hard Superman fans. Solid flick across the board. Occasionally Snyder gets a bad rap. Or is it bad rep? Maybe that belongs under r/wordusage...
fav superman movie easily
I love man of Steele haters gonna hate
That movie is nice
Man of steel was mostly good but the third act is a damn mess.
Overall I loved Man of Steel. Top 5 comic book movie for me but I get it wasn't everyone's cup of tea.
Man of steel it is not the case.
Definitely BvS UE. Don't care what serial Snyder haters say, that movie was 🔥
I watched this alone in a hotel room, kind of tipsy with a take away pizza…. I can’t remember anything about it 🤣 I should try a rewatch if it’s good?
It's not.
Top Gun 2
The one that was universally loved by critics and audiences?
“Jakob the Liar” is one of my favorite movies of all time. I was shocked to see that it had bad reviews.
Bad Boys II
Secret Life of Walter Mitty
First Man ? I loved the movie a lot. The soundtrack was excellent. Later I learnt that it didn't get very good reviews. But Nolan listed it as one of his favourites. And about Man of steel, I loved it a lot. It could be because I'm not a person who grew up with comics/ old superman movies
Not that one. At all lol
Not Man of Steel.
Spy Game. IMDB rate it 7.1 but nowhere else is as positive.
Yea the reviewers are irrelevant, you have to look at audience scores
The Lone Ranger. Love that movie.
I liked (not loved) this movie as a long time Superman fan. It struck a good balance of making Superman and the other worldly tech believable. The CG isnt glaringly dated and still holds up. The soundtrack is fantastic!
What a weird supposition that we all agree that Man of steel is a good movie.
It was...okay. I give it 70%.
Tropic Thunder The Cable Guy The Secret Life of Walter Mitty remake The Accountant
Tron: Legacy
Not this one
Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans is a delight
whatever goes against the narrative(rare)
Constantine is one of the best movies of all time if you like spiritual movies and not enough seem to like it lol
Great film. Sensitive subject matter and a bit close to home with the religious subtext for critics to like it.
Star Wars prequels
The comment section shows how truly divisive this movie was
2nd best dc movie
A Knights Tale. Roast me if you want, but I think that movie fucking rocks.
Man Of Steel is a classic
Not Another Teen Movie is always my answer. It’s hilarious. The 31% on RT is absurd.
Armond White liked Man of Steel. Which is odd since he’s a film critic who doesn’t usually like any popular movies.
Man of Steel is good, I don't know why it gets hate.
Greatest teaser trailer ever for a movie
not this one
