I can't beleive Bandidas got as high as a 60%. Dead Man on campus is my lowest at 18 probably.

Just a cliche boring action movie. After the first like 4k of those in my life (i am 29) they started to get old. Perhaps that's why the "younger generation" likes it.

I always thought the [censored] up thing about this movie is it's basically two religious freaks taking the law into their own hands under the name of God, while trying to be stopped by a creepy ass homosexual cop. The fact this is revered by my peers has always been a little unsettling.

face off [92%]
conair [50%]
the rock [63%]
broken arrow [59%]
snake eyes [34%]

I enjoyed all of these except Snake Eyes, I'm surprised Face Off did so well with the critics

Same here, I used to argue with a friend at the time that Con-Air was better than Face/Off. I guess I lose. :'(

OMG 7%? It's not a great movie by any stretch, but I found it entertaining.

WTF! That's a classic. I would have expected it to be in the 70%-80% range.

I can't believe that Dirty Work and Night at the Roxbury are so low. Those are two of my favorite movies ever and even if they're on TNT or something with commercials and the swearing edited out, I'll usually stop and watch for a little bit. I guess I can at least understand someone not liking NATR, but if you don't like Dirty Work, you have no sense of humor whatsoever.

As far as something dramatic that I really liked, they have The Butterfly Effect at 33% and I always thought that was terrific. To be fair though, the director's cut did make a little more sense than the theatrical cut.

Armageddon and Lord of War were pretty bad though. I actually think both of those should be much lower.

You have terrible taste in movies.

The Boondock Saints 20%

[/ QUOTE ]

Wow. I bet 90% of people I know enjoyed this movie.

[/ QUOTE ]

Me too. I'm 24 years old, and I'd be shocked if you weren't close to that. Our generation likes it a ton; Older people don't like it much....at least from what I've observed.

I'm 25, and I thought this movie was awful, as did most of my close friends.
