Movies that you loved but you found out that they werent well received by critic

Oh gosh there's lots because I love quite few cheesy cult films such as Star Crash and Death Race 2000. But one of my personally highest rated films in my library which wasn't critically well-received is Duck Soup courtesy of the Marx Bros.

Only ones that come to mind are:

1. Final 2 Matrix Movies
2. Both Micheal Bay Transformer movies
3. Battle for L.A.
4. and last most defiantly not least SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD should've done much better and and shouldn'tgot snubbed at the oscars.

The Boondock Saints.

The island i thought the concept of the movie was awesome except i heard it was copied from somewhere but w.e.

I enjoyed Waterworld and Dirt World, I mean The Postman.

Rambo is all that's coming to my tired mind at the moment. Dat .50 sequence...

Sunshine

it's probably my favorite movie in the past 5 years.

Scary Movie 3 (the best scary movie IMO) and basically every comedy in existence. Sometimes I don't understand why some movies get the praise that they do...have you watched "The Kids Are Alright" ? Not funny at all, but somehow it won best comedy? Why?

I liked the movie "Scrooged" with Bill Murray.

First 2/3 of that movie: I LOVE this, this is amazing.
Last 1/3 of that movie: WTF?

Legendary.

Titan A.E. Yeah, it has a plot hole the size of Manhattan, but it's still cool. :evil:Theokhoth

I would agree with this along with the movie Atlantis: The Lost Empire.

i recently watched sucker punch and thought it was alot better than what i'd seen online.

I think what this topic is really about is the love of "garbage" films that predictably met with critical disapproval but that you found unavoidably enjoyable.

At least... that's how I'll interpret it. Two answers come immediately to mind:

1. American remake of Godzilla from the '90s.
2. Howard the Duck when it was first released, though when trying to watch it recently I found myself cringing.

Alien VS Predator was awesome :P Oh well maybe I have bad taste

Mario2007

dirty work, still one of my favorite comedies.

norm mcdonald is a master of comedy.

The Neverending Story got pretty average reviews.

Half Baked.smokingsbad

I loved both those movies and their awesome settings.

I liked Sucker Punch, the critics did not. I also love Blade Runner, and the critics hated that movie when it was released.

Watchmen, Crank 2, Due Date, Tron: Legacy, Cloverfield, and many many others.

The-Tree

OT beat me to this thread. Anyway, I have no idea what you guys are basing this off. I have seen like 10-movies people listed and it got good-feedback by critics. Seriously, check Rotten Tomatoes. I'd have to go with:

The Uninvited-RT: 31% - Me: 6.9/10

The Butterfly Effect-RT: 33% - Me: 8.0/10

Those films come to mind.

Only ones that come to mind are:

1. Final 2 Matrix Movies
2. Both Micheal Bay Transformer movies
3. Battle for L.A.

Rocky 4.

And the last Matrix movie, cheesy as hell, but it has amazing action.

the first mortal kombat. I thought the fight scenes were awesome

Pandorum and The 13th Warrior.

Don't know why those films got so much hate

The Thing, critics blasted it when it came out, now since it's a cult film, they have of course changed their tune. Hyprocites.

I thought Sucker Punch and The Tourist were both great

• A.I.
• The New World
• Eyes Wide Shut
• The American

Bladerunner was pretty good... in fact I rather enjoyed it. It's such a chillout film.

JML897

It's also widely considered to be one of the best sci-fi films ever so it doesn't really fit in this thread.

I thought it was just a cult classic. I heard it recieved rather average reviews at the time.

The American comes to mind.super_mario_128

It wasn't well received critically?

*looks up*

My gosh you're right...I thought it was just the common man that was divided over that film. Ah well, I found it to be a great film nonetheless.

I watched the road to el dorado when I was a kid (about 6 years old or something) and I loved the movie, and then I watched it a few more times over the years, I think the last time I watched the movie was 3 years ago and I still liked it.

recently I found out that the movie was not well received by critics and that it was a box office failure...I was so dissapointed :(

and plenty of other action films which seem cheap but were nonetheless good

lightleggy

Also, and more importantly: what the hell is this s***?

The Beach, Leonardo Di Caprio was even nominated for a razzie for this movie

Predator, Half Baked and The American

I could never understand why some of the Highlander movies was so badly recieved.

Sucker Punch was drowned with negative reviews.

I absolutley loved it!

I didn't like the movie or anything, but Freddy Got Fingered is "Apparently" the worst comedy of all time
