Movies that have AWFUL reviews from Critics AND Audiences that you enjoyed?

Event Horizon

Crocodile Hunter.

I enjoyed Warcraft, and it didn't do very well at the box office (except like China) and the critics also hated it. Though I probably enjoyed that movie more for the weird things from the games and lore they tried to incorporate more than the plot or anything like that. I mean they legit had Khadgar level up towards the end of the movie after he takes down Medivh.

Love a shitty late 90's early 2000's disaster movie. So Twister, Dante's Peak, Volcano, The Core, Vertical Limit, The Day After Tomorrow.

Would also add Knowing with Nic Cage.

I'd have to put Knowing with Nic Cage on my list. Universally panned but any apocalypse movie in which the world actually ends is awesome in my book. Plus the disaster scenes of the plane and subway crashes are spectacular.

I enjoyed Warcraft, too.

But it's not a good example for this thread; as it had a rather high audience score (77%).

Also helped Duncan Jones was a fan of Warcraft. Liked how when the movie was out and he didn't give a shit about what the movie critics thought of it, Even that one interviewer was trying his best to pick apart the plot.

Those disaster films were pretty ambitious for their time, at least effects wise. One of my first memories with DVDs was Twister say what you want about the plot, but the sound and Tornado storm effects were influential for their time (Independence Day/The Matrix as well).

For my films a lot of Netflix movies get a lot of shit but I’ve found most to be perfectly watchable

It could’ve been better, but it still had fun characters and action scenes!

I thought of a good one. THE POSTMAN.

It was a good solid post apocalyptic movie, made better by the fact that Keven Costner is so likable, AND it ended on a positive note. Honestly I see nothing wrong w. this movie.

I saw this in junior high, and even then I thought as I was watching it that the critics and general audience got it wrong. Solid film by Costner.

Howard The Duck. Don't think it deserved so much of the derision it got.

^^^i love me some Howard the Duck! 😱

Good deal; not sure what rubbed ppl wrong about that one.
Of course, Costner was getting a lot of hate back then.

The Lone Ranger is another movie I really liked that for some reason is hated.

THANK you!
That movie was pretty darn fun.

I really like any type of fun modern buddy cop movies.

Ride Along, Bad Boys, The Other Guys, Central Intelligence, etc.

As long as the acting's good I could care less if the jokes are "witty".

^^^I dunno, bad witty can undermine good acting...
