The New Guy! 7% tomatometer and 54% audience score. It's still my favorite feel good movie and the funky music is amazing.
Final Fantasy: the spirits within.
The animation felt way ahead of its time. It's been over a decade since I watched it, but I have very fond and exciting memories of watching it.
Fast X - 57% Momoa is a DELIGHT.
Quantumania - 46% Shame about the Kang problem.
Bullet Train - 54% - You shut your whore mouth!
Uncharted - 40% - Better than it has any right being.
The King's Man - 41% digging the spy comedy but not spy parody genre.
I would have put Shazam and Black Adam, they were enjoyable enough, but the Skittles product placement in Shazam killed it for me, and Black Adam has that whole final act that's completely un-necessary.
Sorted by rotten and newest, some of these justapositions are just hilarious to me. "Into the Deep" and "Out of the Blue" side by side? That's intentional, right?
WTF is with this movie poster? I kind of want to see it now. Description reminds me of Dead Calm with Sam Neill, Nicole Kidman and Billy Zane.

Holy crap, there's a live action Asterix and Obelisk? And what appears to be the worst iteration of Marmaduke ever invented.
Sad to see so many crappy movies with Bruce Willis. I know they were trying to pad the bank account while they could, but it still seems borderline abusive. :(
Hudson Hawk
Also 1991. Definitly the so bad its good category. A preexisting parody to the DaVinci code. 31Critics/56Aud
Would you like to swing on a star?
I go with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Just like The Polar Express (which also has not the best rating) I really enjoy this movie around Christmas. Love the exaggerated characters and the absurd story :D
Cube Zero (2004)
That's right, the prequel to the 1997 horror film Cube. Where people are trapped inside a cube that keeps killing them.
I feel like I'm cheating because it got some positive reviews, just not enough to even have a critic score. Audience score is in the 20's. I don't know why! It's a great follow up. Much better than the sequel, Hypercube. It gives us some much needed backstory on why the cubes exist and what their purpose is.
After a lot of searching on Rotten Tomatoes, Venom? Fun and kinda goofy suoerhero comedy. I definitely liked it enough to watch the sequel
Dude, Where's My Car, 17%/47%. I haven't seen it since it was in the theatre, but I remember thinking it was a good disengage-your-brain comedy that got some chuckles and had a plot that was weird enough to be a joke on it's own. What were people expecting, with a title like that?
I unironically think that Crystal Skull is better than Last Crusade
You choose....poorly.
That shit slaps I don't know why everyone hates on Crystal Skull
I never visit the site to see what other people an critics think of a movie.
Same, rotten tomatoes nowadays is full of paid critics and anti sjws who raid audience reviews whenever their favourite chud reviewer shits on a movie. Id rather form my own opinion, thanks.
I really liked Repo Men 2010. Rotten tomatoes has it at 21%
Mars Attacks
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets - The opening sequence is pretty amazing actually.
Sex Drive (esp the directors cut)
This is harder than I thought it would be. I was also surprised at the ratings for Mars Attacks and Sex Drive. Mars Attacks is a legit great movie but admittedly very odd. Sex Drive is just stupid fun.. Kinda peak teen sex comedy. Not perfect but funny in it's own way.
Halloween Ends (2022)
I watched it in theaters when it came out and really liked it. Interesting slasher movie with good scenes and a good plot. Yes, I wish they would have let Cory keep the spirit of Michael alive, but it is probably better to let the character die in peace.
But then i saw all the Michael Myers fans hating on it afterwards and never understood why. 40% on rotten tomatoes.
Rotten tomatoes is a terrible site to sort/filter by. Dear god what terrible UI.
Jupiter Ascending was a bit of a mess, but overall I liked it. I would contrast with Valerian, which is also a mess, and which I came close to liking, but in the end I just couldn't sell myself on it. The rest of the movie channels its influences and feels like 5th Element meets Star Wars, but DeHaan and Delavigne spend the whole movie acting like they're in a high school production of Blade Runner.
EDIT TO ADD MY OTHER COMMENT: Conversely, for all the bee gloop and DNA dynasty and flying rollerblades and other extremely weird shit that was sort of half-assedly put together in Jupiter Ascending, Tatum and Kunis had me more invested.
I just checked, The Colony is only rated 54% on rotten tomatoes, wtf!? I admit it isn't flawless, but it's a welcome addition to the sci-fi genre. Your could sum it up with : "Avatar but the Na'vi are the humans the privileged left on the devastated Earth". The old colonist routine is even more uneasy to watch when it's against your own kind.
Automata 2014
Oblivion 2013
Jupiter Ascending 2015
Evolution 2001
There might be a pattern in there somewhere...
Every person who likes horror movies can probably name a few examples. Horror movies are somehow really weirdly understood by a lot of people, including critics. Or perhaps I watch them for the wrong reasons, I don't know.
Dude, 3 ninjas: high noon at mega mountain is an amazing kids movie. Every actor is clearly having so much fun and the plot's overblown absurdity allows for super fun set piece action sequences.
Next (2007), starring the One True God, alongside Julianne Moore and Jessica Biel.
It's a brilliant movie (loosely) based on a Philip K Dick short story. It's been nominated and won actual awards (Worst Actor and Worst Supporting Actress from the prestigious Razzie Awards, Worst Foreign Actor from the Yoga Awards), and it stands the test of time comfortably at 28% on the tomatometer.
I wish I was kidding. I've watched this over a dozen times. I can't stop. Send help.
The 1998 Godzilla.
Ha ha, Battleship (RT score of 33%/54%AS). Stupid, yes. But any movie with Thunderstruck blasting when the s*** is gonna hit the fan has got me. Again, lots of stupidity in it, but there were other aspects that hit a resonance: "Mick Canales" (Gregory D. Gadson) one-on-one with the alien, the sliding turn and broadside, etc. Great art? Nope. Enjoyed it, and have seen it several times. I find it interesting that certain kinds of "emotional chain-yanking" are deemed socially acceptable, but others are derided.
Slumberland on Netflix. I loved the movie and thought it was so stupid it got a low score on Netflix
