Super Mario Bros (1993) is this movie for me ... it's weird as hell and it's adherence to the source material is ... iffy at best ... but god damn if it wasn't a fun ride!

Then you read about how everyone hated the directors so much they literally got drunk on set and openly wore custom made shirts with slogans about how bad the directors were AND Bob Haskins was in a cast for most of it for an injury on set and it gets even more fascinating! The Directors poured hot coffee on people and just openly belittled everyone. It's insane!

Not as extreme as the case in the OP, but I'm often surprised how "meh" a reaction Don't Look Up got. Maybe people think it was heavy handed? Too on the nose? I don't know but most folks seem to think it was at best merely "okay".

For me, I place it next to Idiocracy as one of the most prescient films about what is in store for us. I think after this last election day, it seems even more prescient. On top of that, it is legitimately funny with really good performances, especially from Jennifer Lawrence.

As a kid, I couldn't believe how funny Wild Wild West is

I loved Equilibrium and was surprised it wasn't rated as good.

I have a friend who recommends literally every single thing he watches. He'll watch the stupidest movie in the world and be like "wow, that was awesome!". I envy how much enjoyment he can receive from terrible movies and TV shows.

I actually liked sucker punch.

Seems like alot of people didn't get the A B C B A style of story telling that it did. I get on so many arguments with IRL people over it.

A) real world beginning and end of movie. she is in an asylum.

B) In her mind she is elsewhere dancing to get items to escape.

C)her dancing is shown as boss battles because her dancing is her fighting for her life in her mind.

I'll never not like Waterworld

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was my jam as a little girl.... but it might just be because I ended up being bisexual and there's a lot of beautiful and badass people in it.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi

I saw it the day it came out and thought it was a brilliant departure from the macguffin-based plots that had come before, and it showed so many different things that had never been in a Star Wars movie before.

Turns out all Star Wars fans want is more of the exact same that had been in the previous 7 movies.

i feel like it’s much harder when you finish a movie, and you hate it, and then find out it’s one of the most critically acclaimed movies of all time.

this was my experience watching taxi driver. to this day, i have not been able to find a single other person who disliked that movie as much as i did

Fuck ‘em.

A good movie is a movie you enjoyed watching. Full stop.

This is your regular reminder that a 20% on Rotten Tomatoes means that 20% of reviewers liked the movie. The RT score represents chance that a reviewer liked it, not overall weighted score or how much they enjoyed it.

I watched Last Action Hero a few years ago for the first time, and it honestly didn't even feel that dated. It held up!

Constantine. I've seen it dozens of times and it never gets old. Tilda Swinton as Gabriel and Peter Stormare as Satan are a big part of why.

Just had this experience with The Men Who Stare At Goats. Thought it was a good watch, like 6.2 on IMDb. Would recommend

This is actually why I like rotten tomatoes, breaks apart the critics and the fans.

I recall going to a movie with friends, walking out and saying "that was terrible" and my friend saying "what, that was good". Debate ensued in the group.

Wagons East was one of my favourite movies growing up and my fam would watch it many multiple of times.

It has a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Congo is one of my favorite movies of all time I can recite every line in it. It's only got a 23% on RT and like a 5/10 on IMDb but I don't care. I still love the fuck out of that movie

I'm one of those people that thought Wet Hot American Summer was in the same league as Anchorman. Great cast, great music, littered with one-liners, just irreverant enough. It did eventually come out from under the radar but back in the early 2000s it was a total dud most people hadn't heard of

Batman and Robin. I KNOW it's cheesy as hell but I was a kid and I loved it. I loved the aesthetic of Gotham but found the previous Batman villains too scary (Penguin, Two Face) but Mr Freeze and Poison Ivy weren't scary at all. It was a romp!

Death to Smoochy, my dark comedy about the mafia world inside of children's TV show is utterly fantastic and I will not be taking questions.

The Thing.

Critically panned when it came out, and my favorite horror movie of all time. Of course critics feel differently now, but far after its following grew.

The butterfly effect.

I saw it when I was rather young but I thought it was pretty good, apparently people thought it’s edgy.

Should watch it again now and see if it holds up.

apparently critics hated baseketball but thats one of the funniest movies of all time

For me it was Alice in Wonderland (2010). I really enjoyed the whole "I do six impossible things before breakfast" thing. I was also really drunk when I watched it.

Boondock Saints is such a movie, which is a crime
