Joker 2. Laughing my ass of to all the people complaining about how it ruined the image of the joker for them.

Not as bad as watching a movie with friends when everyone else loved it and you were the only one who hated it lol. It feels so much more visceral.

There's lots of them but one that hasn't been mentioned is Sucker Punch. It's 6.1 on IMDB and 22% on Rotten Tomatoes and I loved the visuals.

Also, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is terrible but everyone needs to watch the opening sequence

Batman V Superman from 2016.

My local theatre had an early early show: an early morning premiere, a day earlier than the official release date.

In spite of the, frankly, stupid trailer #2, I was still excited to see the first live action movie with Batman and Superman with my fellow nerds.

We came out of the theatre thinking it was a good movie, with Lex Luthor’s odd shenanigans aside (mannerisms, maintaining tabs on meta humans with well designed logos, etc.).

I specifically remember appreciating and talking about the movie’s score (Hans Zimmer), cinematography (Larry Fong), and costumes (Michael Wilkinson and Ironhead Studios).

While driving back, one of us checked the reviews and box office indications, and it was abysmal. The reaction was so bad that there was unspoken agreement between us to never talk about it again in public.

I still like the movie, and like the Ultimate Edition even more. But I wasn’t a fan of all the movies that followed.

E: grammar

The first Silent Hill movie and the Tim Burton Charlie and the Chocolate Factory stand out for me. The consensus seems to be that they suck, but I like 'em.

Kangaroo Jack (2003) for me. It's not objectively good but I found it silly and fun, and it's one of my dad's favorite movies. Never really understood why it's so panned (9% critic and 29% audience on Rotten Tomatoes)

I love Reign of Fire. And honestly I think the CGI has held up surprisingly well for a 2002 movie (although not at all perfect).

6.2/10 IMBD, 41% critic/49% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.

All of the 3 ninjas movies. I was telling my wife about them and was talking about how great they were (this was like a decade ago) and went to look them up. Like 0-35% on rotten tomatoes depending on which one.

3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain is particularly bad at 0% critic score, 29% audience score, and a 3 on IMDb.

I loved all the 3 ninjas movies so much though.

I showed my friends Rubber. It's a movie about a serial killer tire. I think it's great. Everyone I've showed it to thought it was terrible.

Van Wilder

Soundtrack is incredible, it's one of Tara Reid's best roles, the cast is absolutely stacked, and IMO it's basically Deadpool without the costume. It's Ryan Reynolds best movie to date, and if he doesn't return for a second (the sequel doesn't exist) his career afterwards is ultimately pointless.

I thought Speed Racer was visually fantastic, and did a good job capturing some of the feel of the original show while putting a more modern spin on it. John Goodman feels like he can do no wrong. I just had a good time with it the whole time through.

It seems most people didn't feel the same way I did

Happen to me recently with "I saw the TV glowing" I tough it was a good movie, not 9 but maybe 8.5, apparently not, 5.5 by the IMDB voters.

The Ice Pirates is a damn fun movie. Very camp 80s sci-fi.

Back in the day before RT, it was Ishtar. My parents loved that movie.

Dude Where's My Car?

Nothing spectacular but I thought it was pretty funny. I still remember laughing my ass off at individual scenes. I read ten or eleven reviews of it, and all of them except one said it was the worst movie they had ever seen. Not just bad - the WORST movie they'd EVER seen. Wat?

Land of the Lost (2009)

Beowulf (2007).

Yes, the cgi aged badly, but everyone panned it for the plot change, which was the thing I liked about it the most!
