I'd say Air Force One and What Lies Beneath are exceptions. Though his batting average has certainly dropped. Though it had no where to go but down.

Aye, I forgot about Air Force One. Really good movie. Ford and Oldman both on top of their game.

Didn't see What lies beneath. Heard it is a bit crappy though.

It's based on a cartoon show from the 1980's that was based on a toy.
It has a washed up 1980's/90's rapper in it.
It was entirely shot in front of a green screen.

...it's produced by WWE Films.

...the entire cast are young and good-looking.

...it has a fish-type looking alien character who is a parody of bad Caribbean stereotypes in a supporting role.

......When Empire film magazine gives the film 2 stars or less.

......When M.Night.Shyamalan is directing.

......When the movie is copying other films. (example films copying the slow motion bullet from the Matrix but without any context as to why the bullet would be in slow motion).

......When Jet Li/Jackie Chan make Hollywood movies rather than sticking to Chinese films.

Im sure there ae many more reasons I could think of.

But it's just so easy for quite a few of them, especially when they're very broad generalisations e.g. "it's a romantic comedy, of course that means it's going to be bad". Yeah, maybe too easy.

You know it's going to be a bad movie when it parodies existing comedies. Seriously, that makes no sense whatsoever.
