A few that come to mind for me are The American w/George Clooney, Burn After Reading, The Village, The Hulk (2003) and Haywire w/Gina Carano.
I thought Haywire finally showed a female kicking ass who could actually kick ass. Unlike Angelina Jolie in Salt.

Good topic. The Scorpion King I thought was a pretty fun flick, reminded me of the Sword and Sorcery flicks in the 80s, except without the tits and gore. It's one of the Rock's best movies I think.
I'll probably get more heat for this one, but I find LXG to be entertaining. It makes me laugh and I have no attachment to the source material so I enjoyed it. I like how Dr. Jekyll's hat grows huge and monstrous along with the rest of his body. Old Man Connery kicking ass is quite a delight, and the female vampire was also fun to watch (hot).
forgot to mention something about the Scorpion King, I think it has quite an interesting lineage. It's a prequel/spinoff to a sequel (Mummy Returns) of a reboot (The Mummy, 1999) of a Universal monster franchise which itself had a good number of sequels (The Mummy's Ghost, etc.) The 1999 Mummy seems to have borrowed some of the adventurous tone of the Mummy's Hand (as well as Indiana Jones). Someone should try to connect all the continuities in the next Mummy film. |

I had no clue what movie you meant and spent way too long trying to figure it out when simply reading the next sentence would have explained it all.  I remembering disliking it in the theater but enjoying it in the comfort of my own home. The Rock playing Hercules must be something you're looking forward to then? |

Well, I pretty much hate everything Brett Ratner has directed or been associated with, so not really. Maybe I'll give it a chance when it hits cable, when it comes to fantasy/mythology films I'm not terribly hard to please. I even found the recent Clash and Wrath of the Titans to be watchable.

For me one movie that jumps out is Spawn. I just have fond memories of watching it as a kid. I just thought it was a fun flick, even though now the CG is very outdated but i still enjoy it from time to time.

I haven't seen it in years, but I liked feardotcom. Visually, I thought it was stunning, and I like the lead actress.

The Village is okay...it looses re-watchablility over time. |

wait for it.... godzilla '98 let the flaming begin! I think we have talked enough about this one. You know how I feel about it. I think it is an age thing. If I was younger and not so familiar with the original films I may like it too. |

But I can understand why someone would like it. |

Friday The 13th Part V: A New Beginning...my favorite of the franchise.
Godzilla 98...for some reason this movie appealed to me.
Halloween III: Season Of The Witch
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie
Batman & Robin

I'm soft on Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull just because i was so happy to see another Indy movie even if it's nowhere near as good as the others.

I like a lot of shitty movies in all honesty, two that stick out are Batman & Robin (for nostalgic reasons, and it's hilariously entertaining), agree with Godzilla '98! Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie I remember watching loads as a kid, although never found myself watching the TV show. Too many bad horror movies to mention.
