After watching First Blood immediately beforehand, I couldn't bring myself to watch this all the way through. Rambo is no longer the antihero here, instead he is simply thrown into Vietnam to blow *beep* up for our viewing pleasure.
2. The Fifth Element (1997)

I'm not sure why this film didn't appeal to me. I think perhaps it was too over the top for my tastes. Got bored and watched something else instead.
3. Die Another Day (2002)
PG-13 | 133 min | Action, Adventure, Thriller
James Bond is sent to investigate the connection between a North Korean terrorist and a diamond mogul, who is funding the development of an international space weapon.

Votes: 229,256 | Gross: $160.94M
I started watching this expecting the worst but was pleasantly surprised by the pre-credits sequence. Unfortunately it all went downhill from there.
4. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)
PG-13 | 110 min | Action, Adventure, Fantasy
In an alternate Victorian Age world, a group of famous contemporary fantasy, science fiction, and adventure characters team up on a secret mission.
Director: Stephen Norrington | Stars: Sean Connery, Stuart Townsend, Peta Wilson, Jason Flemyng
Votes: 184,043 | Gross: $66.47M
The concept is interesting but terribly executed. Got bored when the MAIN VILLAIN just turns up and has a fight with Sean Connery out of nowhere. This is a film deserves a remake.
5. Eraserhead (1977)

Henry Spencer tries to survive his industrial environment, his angry girlfriend, and the unbearable screams of his newly born mutant child.

After a solid 20 minutes of WTF I had to stop watching. Perhaps I'll come back to this some other time.
6. Predator 2 (1990)

The Predator returns to Earth, this time to stake a claim on the war-torn streets of a dystopian Los Angeles.
