I think for me it’s alien: covenant. I was really interested in the ideas explored in prometheus and covenant just expanded on them. I don’t get much into the details of why it is or isn’t a good movie.
Luckily, though, HBO ran raised by wolves which really delved into ideals about AI and planet seeding etc. So that itch got way scratched even if the run was cut short.
I still think League of Extraordinary Gentlemen got unfairly dragged. 16% on Rotten Tomatoes.

A lot of people were confused about Dorian Gray, but adding him was pretty inspired.

Watched it not long ago. Didn’t realize the people rating it have no appreciation for decent movies.
It wasn’t phenomenal by any means but it was quite entertaining for the duration of it.
It is a pretty mediocre movie overall, but it is just a lot of fun and I have watched it a dozen times.
Definitely not a 16%'er.
For critics, yeah I think it is 16%er but that is because critics are looking for different things in movies than the audience who wanted to see the movie.
Surprised it hasn’t come back as a streaming channel series of films like “Knives Out”. It’s got a lot of potential.
I remember screening league of extraordinary gentleman and all I could think is it was probably not for me. Not to say someone else wouldn’t like it. I feel like not everything should be rated based on its wide spread appeal.
I don’t disagree that it’s a terrible movie, it’s just a terrible movie that I happened to really like.
pretty sure I watched it in the theater while it was new and I didn’t think it was a waste of time but it is forgettable. It’s only really remarkable thing is being Sean Connery’s last movie
As a “last movie” it’s kind of infamous, like Raul Julia as Bison in “Street Fighter”.
I absolutely enjoy this movie as well! Nemo kicking ass is a joy to watch
