Critically panned/rubbish movies that you’ve enjoyed

[King Gizzard]

Either they’ve got rubbish reviews, people generally don’t like it, or films with low box office takings...

[Denver]

Brotherhood

[Niamh.]

Idle Hands, I love this film so much, got pretty bad reviews though

Heaven's Gate. One of the biggest flops in Hollywood history, but one well ahead of it's time and with some of the best cinematography you'll ever see:

Glitter and Gigli...

[Alf]

Anything by David Lynch.

[LaLaLand]

Hocus Pocus was poorly recieved iirc, shocking. Brilliant movie!

[James]

Terminator Salvation and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. City Slickers 2 is the other one that sprung to mind also, for some reason.

[Amy Jade]

White Chicks - 15% on RT but I adore it.

Truth or Dare - 22% on RT one of my favourite movies

[King Gizzard]

Suppose I better post one

King Arthur Legend of the Sword

Got absolutely trashed by critics but I really liked it and can see it becoming a bit of a cult hit down the line

[RileyH]

White Chicks
Would You Rather
Jack & Jill

[RileyH]

Hocus Pocus was poorly recieved iirc, shocking. Brilliant movie!

oh and this

[Epic.]

The Room is one of the best movies of all time

[James]

Howard the Duck (or 'Howard: A New Breed of Hero' as it was called here).

I remembered that from this list - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_considered_the_worst

Beyond the Poseidon Adventure from this list - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_with_a_0%25_rating_on_Rotten_Tomatoe s

The Room is one of the best movies of all timeThat got good reviews though

[Niamh.]

That got good reviews thoughOh hang on I'm thinking of Room, is it a different film?

[Epic.]

Oh hang on I'm thinking of Room, is it a different film?

I was talking about this masterpiece (https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_room_1998/)

[JerseyWins]

I agree with White Chicks (although I thought it was a pretty positively received movie? :think: shocking that it's rated so poorly on RT)

I feel like The Butterfly Effect doesn't get enough praise... that movie was amazing. Chappie is pretty poorly viewed as far as I know but I liked it (a lot).

And something from the horror genre too, Wrong Turn is one of my favorites (I even kinda like some of the ones they made after the original).

[LaLaLand]

OH I've remembered one, The Mothman Prophecies!

[LemonJam]

White chicks is a classic tbqfh.

The Grinch springs to mind. Easily my favourite Christmas film.

[Kazanne]

Waterworld

[Locke.]

The Room is a brilliant watch, although is obviously terrible.

White Chicks is one of my favourite comedy films. Probably 2nd after This is the End.

I liked Terminator Salvation way more than T3 and Genisys.

Rush Hour 3 wasn't as good as the first 2 but nowhere near as bad as it was made out to be.

Justice League and Suicide Squad were enjoyable enough, found them a similar quality to most of the Marvel films, a fun watch but you won't remember half of it a week later.

[user104658]

Sucker Punch. Gets panned for having a weak storyline but I guess for me the storyline really isn't the point... the action is flawless. Flawless. Also I get that some people don't like over-the-top / heavily post-produced action.

On the same note; Batman vs Superman. I still maintain that the director's cut is an excellent film, if you ignore a small number of glaring flaws:

1) Lex Luthor... who on a second viewing I didn't find that bad, just still not... well... Lex Luthor :think:.

2) Lois throwing the kryptonite spear into the water. Unfathomable.

3) "Hey ur mum's called Martha too? Cool! Did we just become best friends??"



BUT other than that :shrug: It beats the vast majority of the MCU for me.

[user104658]

That can't be an unpopular opinion surely? Salvation was an OK standalone movie, it just didn't do the Terminator storyline justice IMO. But... T3 was dumb as a post and Genisys is absolutely ****ing ridiculous... like actually offensive.

[Tom4784]

The DCEU films (not counting Wonder woman obvs since that was a critical darling), They have their problems but I refuse to believe that any of them are any worse than Thor 2 or Doctor Strange (ohai magical Tony Stark with Inception's visual effects!).

I quite liked Blair Witch and I don't think it deserved the hate it got.

I liked Netflix's Death Note film, it's not a good adaptation of the source material but I enjoyed it as it's own thing.

There's probably more but I can't recall any others at the time.

I agree and also would easily put them above Hulk, Iron Man 2 + 3, Thor and... thought I sort of hate to say it as I do enjoy the characters... GoTG2.

Although maybe not Suicide Squad, I actually do think it's sort of... awful... and utterly forgettable. But I have a very strong suspicion that there's a good version of it lying in tatters all over a cutting room floor somewhere.

Another one: "Kevin and Perry Go Large" gets 5.4 on IMDB but, as I;ve said before, is quite blatantly a solid 10/10. I can only imagine it's been reviewed by a lot of non-Brits who can't quite fathom what they're seeing.

[user104658]

https://media.giphy.com/media/wVcNP3TnXbl84/giphy.gif

It's true! I love the GoTG characters but... in vol 2... the villain is stupid and obvious, a lot of the jokes try way too hard or run too long, and it just doesn't have the character that the first film had. It's all a bit empty... like a "filler" episode of a TV show. I think it suffered by being so popular, and they made a better film first time round when they had no idea that it was going to be a hit.

The only really fun parts are Baby Groot (then they made me SAD by turning him into teenage groot in the post-credits), and "I'm Mary Poppins y'all!" :laugh:

[Amy Jade]

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (has 27% on RT) I prefer it to the original.

Friday the 13th Part III (has 12% on RT) the best in the series imo

The Hills Have Eyes 2006 (has 50% on RT) one of the best horrors of the 00's

GOTG2 had an underwhelming first half and a great second half I thought. Splitting up the team for so long was a mistake but once they got back together for the second half, it got way better.

The first two purges I enjoyed, third was too predictable for my liking

[Calderyon]

Robocops 1 and 2.

[user104658]

Robocops 1 and 2.

RoboCop gets "88% Fresh" on Rottentomatoes, 7.5/10 on IMDB, it's not really under-rated, it's a classic!

RoboCop 2... is pretty dodgy, yes :joker:.

[Marsh.]

Probably "What Happened to Monday?" recently on Netflix. A decent action flick I thought.

[Niamh.]

Probably "What Happened to Monday?" recently on Netflix. A decent action flick I thought.It was a good idea and the first half was decent but it fell apart in the second half I think

[Jason.]

I enjoyed Suicide Squad, despite its negative reviews.

It wasn't a great film by any means, but it was entertaining for what it was.

[Marsh.]

It was a good idea and the first half was decent but it fell apart in the second half I think

Yeah, I wanted more exploration of the plot, which was great rather than just killing most of the sisters off in quick succession. Maybe more time spent on Glenn Close's character.

But I enjoyed the third act with the reveal of what Monday had done.

I remember liking RoboCop 3, the 12-rated RoboCop they did. I haven't seen the other two, or the recent one.

[James]

Not that it had bad reviews, but I've heard lots of revisionism about Alien Covenant, which I thought was great.

Good films that have good reviews but just have a lot of people hating on it count too

It is a very vague thread idea

And 61% doesn’t really scream great either

[King Gizzard]

Like say I really enjoyed Avatar and it done well but had a lot of hate

[James]

Yeah, I really like Avatar, which got good reviews, but a lot of hate later.

Another one I thought of was Tron: Legacy, which I liked a lot but didn't get many good reviews.

[Niamh.]

I also loved Avatar

[Locke.]

I guess I can now add Bright to this list

[Strictly Jake]

House of wax the newer version with Paris Hilton

Seen it like 50 times and watching it right now it has bad reviews but I think it's great

[Owoaje1993]

Power rangers movie it got mixed reviews but I enjoyed it and I’m 24

[Barry.]

Resident Evil series.

[Calderyon]

^ The last one is pants. We´ll the ending at least.

[Barry.]

I wanted to see Jill.

[RileyH]

I like all the Scary Movies (icr which ones weren't popular)

[Barry.]

All but number one.

[Calderyon]

^ Yeah, only getting Claire out of everyone was a disappointment. And they made Wesker a total wuss.

I think that last one was a total cop out of a movie tbh.

[Barry.]

It left questions unanswered.

[Calderyon]

^ Yeah. For me it was a huge disappointment.

I just hope that if there is another Resident Evil movie someday they finally kill "her" off completely.

2014 Annie

1997 The Lost World Jurassic Park, mixed bag of reviews but i really loved this movie

[Firewire]

Home Alone 2 :shrug:

I actually prefer it to the first.
