A classic.2: D&D: Honor Among Thieves - This movie had everything going against it, and it ended up still being so damn good3: Last of Us - Season 1 is incredible, perhaps even better than the first game, which was also incredible. The second game was so unbelievably miserable that I can't imagine they did much better by the show though.4: Castlevania - Season 1 was dicey, but the rest of the show delivered in spades. Maybe Ellis got editors to weed out his worst impulses? I'm glad as hell that I gave it a second chance, though.5: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - I am still flabbergasted by good these movies turned out to be. They absolutely should not have worked, at all. And yet... they're great? Incredibly fun? With great humor? And actual heart? Bewildering6: Sonic the Hedgehog - Turns out I was nostalgic for two things from the 90's; Sonic the Hedgehog and Jim Carrey making me laugh7: Tomb Raider (2018) - This movie flopped and people hated and I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why? This movie was great. Tense, fun action flick. Should've made at least two more.8: Mortal Kombat (1995) - What used to be the gold standard. Incredibly fun, music slapped hard, kinda goofy, everything it needed to be.9: Street Fighter (1994) - Was this a great movie? No. Was this a good movie? Also no. Was this a bad movie? Surprisingly also no. It was a terrible film. What it was, however, was a work of joy and love from a cast and crew who knew they were making a terrible movie and put their hearts and souls into it anyway. The legendary Raul Julia gets most of the flowers, and deservedly so, but so much of the supporting cast is also absolutely outstanding in their scenary-chewing, most notably Andrew Bryniarski and Miguel Nunez Jr. as minions Zangief and Dee Jay, respectively. Name one movie with worse writing that is still so damn easily quotable. I'll wait.10: Furious 7 - Until DADHAT this was the best Dungeons & Dragons movie ever created, by a decent margin (over the runner-up, Fast Five).Honorable Mentions:Tomb Raider: The Angelina Jolie ones - These were still good fun. Or at least the first one wasJumanji: Welcome to the Jungle: Not sure if this counts, but people have been putting the original on the last and as much of a classic as that was (and worth an honorable mention as well), this one managed to surpass. Jack Black as one of the most heartwarming portrayals of a teenage girl in a film comedy was not on my 2017 bingo card. Neither was The Rock making me laugh. On purpose! And yet, there we were</blockquote>
