I just looked up Event Horizon and it only got a 33%. I love that movie. It genuinely really creeped me out. Few horror films do.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Sure it's campy and way over the top. But I kinda like it for that. Plus the characters are awesome, the designs were pretty cool, and Sean Connery was great. Currently at 17% on rt.

Constantine - 46%

Predator - 34%

Ghost in the Shell - 43%

Hellboy - 17%

Robocop (2016) - 49%

Well, it seems like I have poor taste in movies after all.

Grandma's Boy is a perfect stoner comedy. Featuring Nick Swardson in a hilarious breakout performance. RT can kiss 15% of my ass.

Titan A.E. only got a 50% and it is incredible and still holds up!

Chappie (32%)

I love that movie and have seen it several times. Directed by Noel Blompkamp (District 9) and starring Die Antwoord.

It’s extremely original and entertaining sci fi.

I tend to like sci-fi in this category such as Stargate, Dune (1984), and the Riddick films.

TRON Legacy is my favorite of the bunch, however. Incredible soundtrack, gorgeous costume design, and plenty of character.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is way better than anyone gives it credit for. It's a really fun movie.

I also really like Vanilla Sky even though critics hate it. It's a weird but good movie.

How Equilibrium has a 40% RT rating is beyond me. It's amazing.

Idiocracy is one of my favorite movies. When it came out, it was far below 50%, but after some of the things on the movie started becoming true, it became popular.

Tank Girl. No one liked that movie when it came out. I left the theater with the biggest grin on my face. Absolutely awesome. Still one of my favorites.

It was completely different than the comics but it was still very fun. Especially in 1995.

Rotten Tomatoes has both a critic score and an audience score.

If your pick has a low critic score but high audience score, that means it was formulaic or unoriginal but probably lots of fun.

Movies with a high critic score and low audience score are usually more artsy, film-festival stuff.

Kung Pow only has a 13% critic rating and I love that movie. 69% audience score though so that might disqualify it.

I remember quite liking Slackers when I saw it (haven't rewatched it though, so my opinion might have changed). I think if this movie every time I hear the song "She'll be comin' 'round the mountain".

The Big Hit

Movies I saw 20 years ago it seems when maybe my tastes (and me too let's face it) were a little immature. Still love Kung Pow though

I, Robot, especially after reading the books. It functions as a combo of the books, but set roughly where the first book took place in, using a variant of the protagonist from the sequels. The robots taking over as they did, though, wasn't really accurate, even just regarding the laws of robotics, but it worked for the movie's conflict. In the books, they get a larger hold on humanity, but to help them go past Earth to become an intragalactic society. For a one-off, though, I can see the directions the movie took to give it that close-ended feeling. Also, the implications of robots and humans, and Spooner as a chracter were pretty faithful to the source material, IMO.

Hook with it's 29% tomatometer rating. Dustin Hoffman—sexual misconduct allegations aside—fucking nailed it as Hook, and I think the general concept of an adult Peter Pan returning was pretty cool. Also, who doesn't love Robin Williams? It was a movie I loved in my childhood so I am absolutely biased, but 29% seems absurd. I still find the "Don't try to stop me, Smee" scene hilarious to this day.

I actually like:

• Hackers (31%)
• National Treasure (46%)
• Bandits (64%)

Following the XKCD rules and keeping it in the 2000s and later makes it a lot harder. I could make an entire list of '90s movies that qualify.

But my answer is: Pitch Black.

Bonus answer, which doesn't quite qualify because it has an exact 60% rating: Love (2011, the space one)

Okay, so I hit rotten tomatoes, checked movies that were both critics rotten AND audience rotten, and started perusing titles for stuff I thought rocked.

abraham lincoln: vampire hunter

waterworld

hellboy (how is this in here? I thought this was universally loved)

mars attacks! (56 and 53, I also feel like this shouldn't be on the list. It's too good, and not in a bad way)

x-men origins: wolverine (again, is this not considered awesome? I thought it was great)

daredevil/elektra (I enjoyed both movies)

and now for stuff I've watched at least five times:

the ninth gate

planet of the apes (2001)

avp

prince of persia

green lantern

van helsing

I'm dead serious, I was looking forward to MORE green lantern movies along the lines of that first one. I bought it on amazon having heard nothing about it (I was in a societal black hole for a few years there), watched it, loved it, and was like "sweet, when's the sequel coming out? I wanna see sinestro do his thing...wow, this did not do well. Fuck."

I wasn't super happy with ALL of the writing, but that's comic stuff in general and I thought the whole thing was still quite enjoyable. Like, multiple rewatches enjoyable. Seeing Hal Jordan on screen and having Ryan Reynolds do it was great.

Hook (29% TomatoMeter).

But it was released in 1991, so it wouldn't count for the XKCD version. Also the audience score is 76%, so not really an unpopular opinion I guess.

Iron Sky!!

Who doesn't love a movie about Nazis hiding for 60 years in a secret base on the dark side of the moon?!?!

I like both of National Treasure movies. With 46% and 36% ratings

Rat Race is 45% and I don't know why. Audience score is 64%.

I actually like Riddick, all three of them! Haven't checked but am pretty sure they would've gotten less than 60%

Boondock Saints (Nov 99 is close enough). It's such a fun movie, but only has a 27%

Disney's Atlantis.

God I love that movie.

I unironically like Sucker Punch. And no, it's not only because of scantily clad women.

The Green hornet with Seth Rogen. I genuinely like it. It’s a good movie.

Constantine.

I liked:

• Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (48%)
• Jupiter Ascending (28%)

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998), starring Johnny Depp sitting at a blasphemous 50%

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

I was genuinely impressed by this movie

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. I absolutely adore the movie, but I'm actually content it didn't get all the recognition I think it deserves. The entire vibe of the movie is one of contentment; no need to force higher achievements.

Judge Dredd (1995) Judge as you will :)

"Judge Dredd" (1995)

It's fun, funny, entertaining, and while not well written, is well acted.

Honorable mention is "Demolition Man" (1993) for similar reasons. Though it's in the 60s when it comes to a rating.

It's like, sometimes I want to sit back turn my brain off for 2 hours, and just enjoy.

Bicentennial Man (1999) starring Robin Williams. It's one of my favorites.

I enjoyed Waterworld (I know it's 90s, but I feel it gets too much hate). The premise and aspects of the screenplay were ridiculous, but the set design and effects were fascinating, and I was surprisingly invested in the characters. Kevin Costner and the kid had good chemistry. Dennis Hopper was a campy joy to watch as the villain as expected.

Death to Smoochy is a fucking masterpiece.

Tron: Legacy

This is one of my favourite movies of all time. The story, atmosphere, and music are absolutely amazing!

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.

57% on RT but its probably one of my favourite Wes Anderson films.

The Cable Guy
