I’m asking because an IMDb rating cutoff above 6.5±5 seems to generally do a good job making sure I don’t regret watching something. But what am I missing among the sub-6? I know they exist, but it is hard to select among seas of…bad movies.

    IDK about “rated higher” but I love Jet Li’s The One

    There’s exactly 127 universes in the multiverse. Why? Never discussed. And if one version of you kills another, every other version gets that much stronger. So Jet Li plays both the hero and the villain as well as an assortment of the villain’s victims. Jason Statham is in it too, as the hotheaded junior partner multiverse cop out to bring the villain down.

    Weird guns! Weird tech! A prison universe! Super powered martial arts! A climactic fight in a foundry where you can tell the hero from the villain by the color of their shirt! Man I love this movie!

      It’s when they go through the pictures of Jet Li’s victims that gets me every time. It’s just him with different wigs. The one with dreadlocks is hilarious.

      I genuinely love this movie. Very entertaining. Soundtrack isn’t half bad either.

      I am Yulaw! I am nobody’s bitch!

      the only thing I remember about that movie apart from the fact that I watched it with my high school best friend with whom I’ve long since cut all ties

      but I do remember we both quite enjoyed it!

      I actually thought this movie was a sequel to The Matrix when I saw it advertised and saw it in theaters as a result. It was okay.
