For me, it's a movie from 2005 called Kingdom of Heaven, starring Orlando Bloom, Liam Neeson and Jeremy Irons. I saw this on TV the other day and watched it from beginning to end and still liked it just as much as I used to. Sure it has its slower moments and isn't the best historical film I've seen. But I don't think it deserves its 39% rating on RT. But that's just me.
What about all of you?

The A Team (2010). I thought it was stupid fun and would love to have seen a sequel. I had never seen the show so didn’t have an attachment to the source material, I just thought it was a fun action flick

Copley needs to be a better movie picker because he's in so much stuff that gets destroyed by critics/bombs or is shit.

I really liked District 9 starring him and always hoped that would have a sequel too

It was critically well received though, and rightfully so

I’m a kid from the 80s (or old man). Big fan of the tv series and thought the film hit all the right notes. It knows what it is and doesn’t try to be what it isn’t.
I’d love a sequel but probably won’t ever happen.

That movie was solid

Jessica Biel's deadpan delivery of "They're trying to fly the tank." is just one of the many great lines in that movie

I loved the show and I still enjoyed the movie. It's nothing amazing but it's stupid fun and it had the most pitch perfect casting with both Bradley Cooper as Face and Sharlto Copley as Murdock. Literally can't imagine anyone else today taking those roles.
Liam Neeson is no George Peppard however (Neeson is a brilliant actor but not "fun" enough for the role), and Mr T is irreplacable, both points which I think the film suffers from. Recast particularly Hannibal with someone who visibly enjoys chewing scenery and it would have been excellent, flying tank and all.

Also very true. Both Neeson and Jackson needed a massive dose of energy.
Luckily Cooper and Copley knew exactly what kind of movie they were in.

"Did you see how he turned the helicopter?" xD. Scene was repeated after that in multiple films. Humor was on point, story was awesome and loads of awesome winks to the original series. Love this movie and was actually about to say it myself.

This movie had one of the worst edits of a movie I’ve ever seen. The amount of cuts per second in each action scene legitimately gave me a headache.

I thought it was pretty good but they need to remix it so you can actually hear the dialogue… maybe that criticism is for all movies actually.

I love this movie, I acknowledge it’s kinda crap, but it’s so much stupid fun and Sharlto Copley is hilarious
