A Great B-movie

According to my rating system, I think Con-Air is a Great B-movie or in other words, I give it a B+.

It ranks right up there with The Avengers, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Batman (1989), Batman Begins, The Rock, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, The Return of the Jedi, Die Hard 2: Die Harder, Lethal Weapon 2, Grosse Point Blank, Goldeneye, Dr. No, Diamonds are Forever, Thunderball, Casino Royal, Skyfall.

Just to help you understand where I'm coming from, I think The Terminator, Die Hard, The Road Warrior, True Lies, Lethal Weapon, Speed, Total Recall (1990), Predator, Spider-Man 2, The Dark Knight, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Raiders of the Lost Ark are all A movies... for their genre.

Oh like B instead of B plus on the grades. I thought you mean B-movie like low budget movie something like Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Evil Dead or something like that.

And i don't mean other types of b-movies that are MST3K fodder, if you are familar with the show Mystery Science Theater 3000.

You killed Captain Clown, YOU KILLED CAPTAIN CLOWN-The Joker on Batman TAS

this had a A movie budget, its one of the greatest 90's action films.

Realism, Remakes and Unnecessary Sequels are ruining movies!
