Didn't say they were great movies
Max Payne is better as a movie than those, but still not what I'd call great either. But the bass is insane on them.
Cloverfield is an odd one. I didn't like it the first time I watched it either (mainly all the useless garbage at the beginning), but as a b-movie horror flick I think it works. Godzilla movie entirely from the perspective of the people, not far shots of the monsters; still not a great movie.
WOTW was just not a great movie. Visually solid, great audio, but the '53 version was far more effective as a movie.
