Those you mentioned plus...
Mission Impossible 3 (2006)
Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006) - I'm not sure about this one. Might be better than the first one. Never rewatched the first one
Transformers: Dark side of the moon (2011)
Men in Black 3 (2012)
Ocean's 13 (2007)
John Wick Chapter 3 (2019)
Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009) - I saw this film an unhealthy amount of times babysitting my lil sister like a decade ago. All 3 of them actually...
Skyfall (2012) - I'm counting Daniel Craig's Bond era as separate cause his films are connected to each other.
I haven't seen any Ice Age's or Tokyo Drift, but I agree with the others.

They made more than one of The Marine & 12 Rounds? Huh, well, I was today years old when I learned of this information.
shareHaven't you been following AdamWilson's topic? Keep up, man.
shareSorry, but who's that?

Haha, that was great.
I was 'off' last week. All the awesome stuff always happens when I'm away. Either from School, work or here.
Part 3 causes frustrating leg pain.
sharePart 3 to The Marine is news to me.
shareEscape from the Planet of the Apes (3)
better than
Beneath the Planet of the Apes (2)
but not better than
Planet of the Apes (1)
I might be in the minority but I prefer Friday the 13th Part 3 to Part 2. I like Part 2 but Jason looked so small compared to later films. Plus you had the goofy moments where he falls over and the goofy scene of him getting kicked in the groin. Part 3 had him looking bigger plus it is the one where he gets the iconic hockey mask.
shareHonestly, 2-7 are all the same to me.
shareI like Aliens 3 more than 2.
You don't have to step on a landmine like this. That was something that didn't need to be shared.
shareIt's a personal preference. I'm not saying 2 sucked. Far from it.
A2 is very action packed (James Cameron's specialty). I liked the quieter, thoughtful approach of 3, more in the vibe of the original Alien. It's more horror, than sci-fi action.
I put it out there to see if anyone else feels the same.
There will always be plenty of movies I'm supposed to like and don't. And films I'm supposed to dislike but like.
Frustrating events.
I had Leg Pain watching the 4th film.
shareSame. I liked A3 for all the reasons you gave. I just don't think it's better than A2 but then again I'm sucker for Alien movies. So I liked them all.
shareSacrilege! (you are entitled to your opinion of course)
Have you seen the assembly cut? I like that version better than the theatrical, but still not close to Aliens
I know!
I believe I've only seen the theatrical. I'll be on the lookout for assembly cut.
It's longer, but they took out some of the better moments. They spend more time on Paul McGann's character. It's one of the better characters and best performances in that movie. They also cut out a subplot involving that character that gives us maybe its most dramatic moment, second to the ending.
Fincher has pointed out that its not a director's cut, but it's closer to what the director wanted than the theatrical. I think they used a rough cut Fincher put together as their guide. Anyway, it's better than the theatrical version in most people's opinion.
totally agree with
Red Dragon (2002)
Hannibal was just a sh*it show
I actually think it's an underrated movie.
shareif anything it's largely overrated
shareI dug Hannibal too. I think the movie improved on the novel's ending. Rare for Hollywood to make changes that actually improve something. It's maybe closer to being horror than a thriller, really. We also get to see more of Lector in this one than we did in SOTL. That's not a criticism of SOTL, but seeing Lector in action really provided some hair raising moments.
I'd go 8/10 for Hannibal, 10/10 for SOTL. 7/10 for Red Dragon.
