I disagree with you, Kerayi on the Dungeons and Dragons bit it was ok, nothing specil but it had dragons it that is why it gets my vote as a good movie.:D

However I have not watched Reign of Fire... how dare they kill dragons!
Ignorant humans...

The ONLY good thing in Reign of Fire was the dragon and you only see it really good and clear one time. Movie is not even worth a rental price. :mad:
Neither is Dragonheart - terrible, just terrible.

Now, Dragonslayer is a classic!
And of course, Enter the Dragon!
-g-
 
Hulk - that was just terrible. Eric Bana and Nick Nolte should've been ashamed of themselves!

Highlander 2 - a film that NEVER should've been made (or the others). Highlander was brilliant and the subsequent films just tore any mysticism away from it.
 
Make that three. It wasn't a well-made film, but I found it otherwise entertaining...
 
I didn't like Aeun Flux much either.

also, underworld 2 - evolution

Oh my goodness that was terrible. I was really into the first film so dragged my partner to go see the second on the day of release. They tried so hard to make it an 18 that they forgot about the story line. it was completely different to the origional. and the only reason anybody would go see it would be to see a bit of naked kate bekinsale or whatever her name is.

boooo from me!! thats what i have to say!! :)

edit: just to add a comment about Brother's Grimm too, above all the other reasons it was crap.. there is NO NEED to put a kitten in a blender in any film ever.... nuff said
 
I was quite looking forward to Aeon Flux.
I managed to enjoy Resident Evil 1 and 2, though, I reckon you need the right mindset to enjoy them, so I could still give Aeon Flux a try...

unless it is worse. Is it worse?

Four of us. It must be a love or hate thing with the Hulk- mindset notwithstanding - like Donnie Darko.

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. I was hoping it was going to be so bad that it was good. Turned out it was just so bad.

Yeah, good one. I mean, bad one. I made the mistake of watching it yesterday. I had hoped it was a bit like Fifth Element - silly, but in an entertaining way. No such luck.
 
Wow. I don't agree with any of you.

I enjoyed Van Helsing and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen - even though I thought that they could have been done better. Never watched Titanic and still have no desire to. Loved Sixth Sense and enjoyed Armageddon, Reign of Fire wasn't horrible and I'll watch Dragonheart anytime it is on.

Of course, Dragonslayer rocks but I'll also watch The Beastmaster anytime it comes on.
 
Ah yes, I remember Toxic Avenger! I enjoyed it, I did.
A 13-yr-old's-pyjama-party classic.

Whereas Attack of the Killer Tomatoes didn't live up to the promise of its name.

A sad loss.

I'll second all your choices except Reign of Fire because I haven't seen it. I thought The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was a wonderful concept that definitely could have been better. As for Van Helsing I thought the concept was sacreligious but it wasn't too bad a movie. Sixth Sense had me going till the end. (Sometimes it pays to be a little naive on a conceptual level. There are more surprises)
 
I liked The Hulk as well. It was uneven in tone (the poodle attack scene was an embarassment), Bana seemed dull for most part and Nick Nolte can be sometimes infuriatingly hammy but it did have a certain sober tone mixed with those lovely panelling effects and character writing which rose significantly above the obviously B-movie like conception of the original character. I liked the movie character a lot more than what I read of him in the 70's and 80's comics.
