JCC Movies that were better than they had any right to be

I'm tempted to add that to my sig.

 

Frozen

 

Ghost Rider

 

Hey, he flubbed one guys!

 

No. Ghost Rider was genuinely bad.

 

Ghost Rider was hardly a cinematic tour de force, but it was crazy over the top fun. The sequel was just awful, and that's the level I was expecting from the first one, so IMO it was much better than it had any right to be.

 

God I love that movie.

 

Highlander 2.

 

juliet you're doing it wrong!

 

He said Battleship earlier.

 

"Was that a ninja?"

"More like a non-ja. Terrible what passes for a ninja these days."

 

How the hell was Highlander 2 "better than [it] had any right to be?"

 

Astropia

 

Casablanca

Based on an unproduced play, shot almost entirely in a studio (where the plane in the final scene was a cardboard cut-out with little people extras walking about in front of it to make it appear bigger, and artificial fog used to disguise all this), several writers, a script that was half-finished at the time of shooting, a leading man two inches shorter than his female co-star, censorship from the Production Code Administration (all the direct references to sex were deleted), and shot by a second-choice director.

 

well thats my point , I expected it to be at the same low level as the previous 2 .

 

Fast & Furious 7

 

Which one was 7? They all kind of blur together in my head.

 

Star Wars. On paper it looks like just another silly sci-fi movie.

 

Um, no. I don't think anyone will ever agree with you on this one. Sorry man...

 

I will!

 

The last one with Paul Walker.

 

The seventh one.

 

John Wick

 

Seconded. Chapter 2 was also really good.
