I loved that film. Denzel and Dakota had such chemistry. He said she knew her lines as well as his. Her talent was amazing. I don't know why either that people didn't rate it higher.
Never knew it had a Rotten score. It's held pretty favourably alongside the first, the third one however definitely isn't treated with the same respect.
What dreams may come is incredible. But I feel like it has a special niche for anyone who’s loved ones have depression or BPD or other mental illnesses. It hits hard
The 13th Warrior scored just 33 percent and it's one of my all-time favorites. The atmosphere and the ensemble cast are fantastic. I quote it every day.
Out Cold (8%): it's SUPPOSED to be a ski resort romp like from the 80s. I think the whole Casablanca parody made people think it was taking itself seriously.
I loved this movie. The beer ski game down the hill, the running gag waking the brother up in weird ways, all the cringe guys trying to impress the hot girl even including the gay guy, the Weezer love song lol, just tons of character and fun and probably a lot of stuff you just won't get passed in movies anymore.
Wait, people watched that and thought they were trying to make a serious movie? That and Eurotrip were peak college movies that we always seems to have on in the dorm.
I legitimately assumed joe dirt had at least a solid score like a 60s or maybe 70s. I'm blown away. It's a completely solid movie and probably one of David spades best movies lol.
These type of movies getting bad ratings is why i hate sites like rotten tomatoes. The movie has a clear objective, fun adventure movie. It hits all its objectives prefect. Yet when critics watch it they judge it by what it is not and what it never tried to be. It doesn't want to tell a deep story, it doesn't want to show amazing acting. It wants you to enjoy a lazy afternoon with a fast paced fun story.
Butterfly Effect has a 34% but I still liked it a lot. Wasn’t groundbreaking by any means but had an entertaining premise and I liked the early 00s nostalgia
The movie had two different endings but I preferred the directors cut version. It was far more dark. Tbh I never understood why it wasn't recieved that well by critics. It was a very interesting concept for a movie.
I really enjoy Oblivion (2013). It's great sci-fi, with amazing visuals. The story isn't perfect, but keeps you hooked till the end. I don't really understand how it only has a 54% on RT. Also, the credits song SLAPS.
What I find interesting is the director, Joseph Kosinski, also directed Tron Legacy. Then when Hollywood needed a director for the new top gun they were like, "who can direct a sequel to a 35 year old movie AND also direct Tom Cruise?" And this guy was just like, "yo, that's all I do."
The reviews Oblivion got were a joke. Some of the best visuals ever, an amazing score, a solid story that keeps things moving along. If you didn’t like the movie, I do t think you should be reviewing movies, or at least movies of that type.
Without A Paddle (14% RT) - It doesn’t age all that well, I’ll admit. But it’s actually pretty funny and has a ton of heart. Plus an amazing soundtrack!
At one point on my life, I thought Rachel Bilson is the cutest person in the world. For me, Jumper is like a music video. It's fast-paced and not much story, with beautiful people. I actually love movies that are like music video.
I actually really enjoyed the 3rd entry as well, "Riddick". Took things back to a really small scale, I enjoyed the sequences of him learning the hazards on the planet
Escape From Butcher Bay was amazing, probably the best video game based on a movie that I can think of - even if it's not strictly based on the movies storyline.
People didn't know what to do with the tone. IMO they couldn't see the pathos or the darkness for what they were, they wanted a more straightforward satire or "dark side of children's TV" exploration.
Fear and Loathing is way better than the 49% it has from critics, but I have a personal bias toward it and can see why many wouldn't care for the film. Still, at least the audience score is on the opposite end at 89%
Fear and Loathing is a masterpiece. One of the few films that not only does justice to the book but I think it actually expands on it and becomes a perfect companion to it. Most of Gilliam's films have mediocre reviews as they are definitely not for everybody but man that fucker is talented.
True story: years ago at a bar trivia night the question was “what Steven Spielberg directed movie has the lowest RT score”. I insisted it was Hook but my team put down Jaws 4. Idiots
I remember when it came out. Several critics saidnit missed the mark as a kids film and a few adults at the time i knew didnt like it.... every single kid i knew loved it.
This one seems to be generational. A lot of critics hated it when it came out. But kids who saw it fucking loved it. Now that all those kids are adults, he movie’s reputation is much much better.
This is because they marketed the movie to young guys from Transformers audience as “Megan Fox is hot”. It ended up not the movie they promoted, and people got upset about it.
Speed Racer. Saw it in theaters and I absolutely loved it! Made the cartoon come to life in an entirely new way. I do understand why it is not everyone's cup of tea though.
somehow, it was cartoonier than the cartoon. i mean, car-fu. If you cant have a good time watching a movie with car-fu, you have too much sadness in your life.
A Life Less Ordinary (1997) - 41/59. Silly romcom that hits the mark for me. Ewan McGregor and Cameron Diaz play well together, with fabulous support from Holly Hunter, Delroy Lindo, Stanley Tucci and Dan Hedaya. A 41 critic rating is criminal imho. Clearly audiences more broadly enjoyed it, but it's a 10 in my book, not a 6.
I saw cobra recently and loved it. Very dumb trope filled movie but it’s a ton of fun. And so many weird choices like Stallone eating pizza with scissors
MacGruber (2010) 47/35. Hilarious and I don't care what anyone says. The scene where MacGruber is telling the story of how he and Kunth were college friends is absolutely brilliant. Glad they made the TV show too, although it probably could have just been "MacGruber 2."
The scene where Macgruber is fucking the ghost of his dead wife on her tombstone, and it cuts to him standing there alone, naked, just humping air and grunting is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
Brothers Solomon. Directed by Bob Odenkirk, Will Arnett and Will Forte are the eponymous brothers. It has a great cast and it's really funny, just the opening credits alone make me crack up, I don't know why it has a 16% on rotten tomatoes. I saw it in the theatres twice and both times me and my friends were the only ones there. Comedy is subjective I guess.
So many of the funniest movies have bad RT scores. Dirty Work is 14%. Wet Hot American Sumner has 38%. Tommy Boy is 41%. Not a genre that reviews well.
The A Team (2010). I thought it was stupid fun and would love to have seen a sequel. I had never seen the show so didn’t have an attachment to the source material, I just thought it was a fun action flick
I’m a kid from the 80s (or old man). Big fan of the tv series and thought the film hit all the right notes. It knows what it is and doesn’t try to be what it isn’t.
Kung Pow: Enter the fist has a 13% rating yet is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen and is a movie I quote regularly even if a lot of people don't get the reference.
I like Wild Wild West. I think its a fun, cheesy, crappy 60s TV throwback. It is what it is and, no it'll never enter my top.10 but it entertains harmlessly enough for 90 minutes. That and Kenneth Branagh is great as always.
CONSTANTINE with Keanu Reeves and Rachel Weisz. Such a fun, compelling supernatural thriller with really cool worldbuilding and visuals. Peter Stormare also plays my favourite version of the devil and there are some great performances from awesome character actors like Tilda Swinton and Djimon Honsou. It only has a 46% on RT which really boggles my mind/
Miami Vice (2006), 47% on RT. I think it suffered from critics seeing the name and expecting the cool pastel tinged neon buddy cop style of the original show without taking into account that it wasn't the 80s anymore and that it was still a movie directed by Michael Mann. Plus the fact that about half of it isn't set in Miami.
I thought that it was a good movie with really beautiful digital cinematography, but as you pointed out, they changed so much that I wish they just dropped the Miami Vice name altogether and made the film its own thing instead, rather than setting up false expectations.
I initially hated it, because the original Chuck Jones animated Grinch is my all-time favorite Christmas movie, but it's since grown on me. Jim Carrey absolutely gives it his all, and it has some great quotable lines:
Alex Cross….there i said it. Matthew Fox got rid of probably 97% body fat and replaced it with pure muscle. I’m a HUGE fan of Lost so maybe that had something to do with my decision.
Hudson Hawk. 1991 film with Bruce Willis. It has a terrible score, but for some reason I love that movie. I think it's the music, plus the fact that I love horses.
Across the Universe is a super fun and creative musical, genuinely a favorite of mind. It’s rotten on RT and lots of people hate it, I don’t understand why
Super Fuzz (RT-0%)
”He’s a supa supa!”
I loved that movie
Man on Fire has a horrible rotten tomato score but I love that film
Peak Denzel, Peak Tony Scott, deserves better.
38%! That’s ridiculous.
I loved that film. Denzel and Dakota had such chemistry. He said she knew her lines as well as his. Her talent was amazing. I don't know why either that people didn't rate it higher.
I've probably seen that movie ten times over the years. It would have been great to see a few more Creasy movies.
That movie was really popular when it came out I think. I wonder why the score is low.
Yeah one my favorite films. Feels more like an indie film here and there
I wish you had more time!
The Mummy Returns (47%). Not quite as good as the original, but still an entertaining movie with some great moments.
That CGI Scorpion King and the cult that was trying to revive Imhotep are the only things that I didn't like it
Never knew it had a Rotten score. It's held pretty favourably alongside the first, the third one however definitely isn't treated with the same respect.
What Dreams May Come (53% on the critic’s tomatometer).
The hell sequence really elevates it, terrifying imagery
What dreams may come is incredible. But I feel like it has a special niche for anyone who’s loved ones have depression or BPD or other mental illnesses. It hits hard
The 13th Warrior scored just 33 percent and it's one of my all-time favorites. The atmosphere and the ensemble cast are fantastic. I quote it every day.
I love the bit where he is picking up the language slowly. And reveals it by insulting another guys mother or something
Don’t forget about the amazing music!
Out Cold (8%): it's SUPPOSED to be a ski resort romp like from the 80s. I think the whole Casablanca parody made people think it was taking itself seriously.
Carpe diem. Seize the… carp!
I loved this movie. The beer ski game down the hill, the running gag waking the brother up in weird ways, all the cringe guys trying to impress the hot girl even including the gay guy, the Weezer love song lol, just tons of character and fun and probably a lot of stuff you just won't get passed in movies anymore.
Just jiggle the handle
Doesn't one guy drop a deuce in the cup when they do a drug test?
Easily the best snowboarding movie that stars Lee Majors
Out Cold is amazing.
Wait, people watched that and thought they were trying to make a serious movie? That and Eurotrip were peak college movies that we always seems to have on in the dorm.
Did somebody say “King of the Mountain? (mountain, mountain)”
One of my favorite movies in High School. This and Grind.
Came here to say plz watch the director's cut.
Tank Girl (1995) was such a fun and wild comic book adaptation that went over the top in every way.
I can’t believe Joe Dirt only has 9%!
I legitimately assumed joe dirt had at least a solid score like a 60s or maybe 70s. I'm blown away. It's a completely solid movie and probably one of David spades best movies lol.
Kid Rock trying to read that note is one of the funniest things ever
I love Joe Dirt!
Been a long while since I saw someone mention the Tank Girl movie oh my god
Hudson Hawk is one of my favourites 34% on Rotten Tomatoes
Kingdom of Heaven's RT score is for the threatrical cut, the directors cut is considered a lot better
Huh, I had no idea that many critics disliked Birth. I love that movie.
Both National Treasure movies. They're like a fun mix of James Bond, Indiana Jones, and Nic Cage; what more could you ask for?
National Treasure 1 has a bad score?? That movie is a gem!
Gone in 60 seconds is enjoyable too (25% lol)
If popcorn hadn’t already been invented, it would have been invented for those movies.
These type of movies getting bad ratings is why i hate sites like rotten tomatoes. The movie has a clear objective, fun adventure movie. It hits all its objectives prefect. Yet when critics watch it they judge it by what it is not and what it never tried to be. It doesn't want to tell a deep story, it doesn't want to show amazing acting. It wants you to enjoy a lazy afternoon with a fast paced fun story.
Jumanji (1995), was just mind blowing for me as a kid. RT was not impressed.lame.🥱🥱
Butterfly Effect has a 34% but I still liked it a lot. Wasn’t groundbreaking by any means but had an entertaining premise and I liked the early 00s nostalgia
That’s a great afternoon usa network movie
it was groundbreaking when i was like 10 and saw it for the first time that movie blew my mind
The movie had two different endings but I preferred the directors cut version. It was far more dark. Tbh I never understood why it wasn't recieved that well by critics. It was a very interesting concept for a movie.
Personally, I think the director's cut is great.
Joe Dirt. A 9% on RT and I still watch it every now and then.
I really enjoy Oblivion (2013). It's great sci-fi, with amazing visuals. The story isn't perfect, but keeps you hooked till the end. I don't really understand how it only has a 54% on RT. Also, the credits song SLAPS.
What I find interesting is the director, Joseph Kosinski, also directed Tron Legacy. Then when Hollywood needed a director for the new top gun they were like, "who can direct a sequel to a 35 year old movie AND also direct Tom Cruise?" And this guy was just like, "yo, that's all I do."
I used to listen to that score by M83 all the time
By the same token Tron Legacy is one of my favorites and has a 51%.
Absolutely excellent one off sci-fi film.
Same. Oblivion was a 9/10 sci-fi flick for me.
The reviews Oblivion got were a joke. Some of the best visuals ever, an amazing score, a solid story that keeps things moving along. If you didn’t like the movie, I do t think you should be reviewing movies, or at least movies of that type.
I like Vanilla Sky(2001)… Tom Cruz, Cameron Diaz Kurt Russell. Star studded cast.
Hell yeah, I thought this was a superb film. Is it poorly rated, and why?
TECH SUPPORT! TECH SUPPORT!
Without A Paddle (14% RT) - It doesn’t age all that well, I’ll admit. But it’s actually pretty funny and has a ton of heart. Plus an amazing soundtrack!
Thanks for breaking glass where my kids play.
No, but I did eat a brownie once.
I watched this a few years ago and I totally thought it aged well!
“Put Jabba back in the hut!”
“Sorry we can’t come to the phone right now ‘cause we’re doing it!”
Jawbreaker. 14%
Cabin Boy.
I'm not a girl, I'm a fancy lad!
Jumper - has a 15% on RT, but I think it’s a better movie than that
At one point on my life, I thought Rachel Bilson is the cutest person in the world. For me, Jumper is like a music video. It's fast-paced and not much story, with beautiful people. I actually love movies that are like music video.
Oh wow I would never have guessed it scored that badly.
The Chronicles of Riddick. Always watch it when it's on. Also the video game was amazing
I actually really enjoyed the 3rd entry as well, "Riddick". Took things back to a really small scale, I enjoyed the sequences of him learning the hazards on the planet
Escape From Butcher Bay was amazing, probably the best video game based on a movie that I can think of - even if it's not strictly based on the movies storyline.
Death to Smoochy, is a good movie!
It’s a rocket ship!
People didn't know what to do with the tone. IMO they couldn't see the pathos or the darkness for what they were, they wanted a more straightforward satire or "dark side of children's TV" exploration.
Someone touched my ass!
Still can’t believe this isn’t rated higher. It’s freakin hilarious.
Love that movie, I don’t know why it gets so hated on.
My stepdad isn’t mean he’s just adjusting.
Fear and Loathing is way better than the 49% it has from critics, but I have a personal bias toward it and can see why many wouldn't care for the film. Still, at least the audience score is on the opposite end at 89%
Fear and Loathing is a masterpiece. One of the few films that not only does justice to the book but I think it actually expands on it and becomes a perfect companion to it. Most of Gilliam's films have mediocre reviews as they are definitely not for everybody but man that fucker is talented.
Hook. 29% on RT. Amazing family movie. I don't understand any of the pessimistic reviews from the critics.
True story: years ago at a bar trivia night the question was “what Steven Spielberg directed movie has the lowest RT score”. I insisted it was Hook but my team put down Jaws 4. Idiots
Dustin Hoffman kills it in that movie.
Ruffio! Ruffio!
The food fight scene was thrilling to see for the first time as a child, the whole film was like magic
I remember when it came out. Several critics saidnit missed the mark as a kids film and a few adults at the time i knew didnt like it.... every single kid i knew loved it.
This one seems to be generational. A lot of critics hated it when it came out. But kids who saw it fucking loved it. Now that all those kids are adults, he movie’s reputation is much much better.
Jennifer's Body. I can understand 46% critics score—horror rarely fares well among critics, but 35% audience score???
This is because they marketed the movie to young guys from Transformers audience as “Megan Fox is hot”. It ended up not the movie they promoted, and people got upset about it.
My best friend and I saw it like four times in theater. Sooo so good. Soundtrack was a 10/10 too.
Southland Tales (41/41)
I really like The Fountain from Aronofsky and it has a 52% score.
Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit has a 19% on the tomatometer, which is all the proof you need to know that this site ain't it
Ghost Ship
The opening scene alone was gold.
I LOVE this movie.
Speed Racer. Saw it in theaters and I absolutely loved it! Made the cartoon come to life in an entirely new way. I do understand why it is not everyone's cup of tea though.
I was so thrown when I looked up that movie on RT one day and saw the score because I remember my local paper gave it an A when it came out
That movie was far better than it needed to be.
somehow, it was cartoonier than the cartoon. i mean, car-fu. If you cant have a good time watching a movie with car-fu, you have too much sadness in your life.
Top three favorite movies. Did not get the respect is deserved when it came out. I think it’s getting a solid cult following.
I love speed racer. I honestly didn’t understand why it got rated so poorly
A Life Less Ordinary (1997) - 41/59. Silly romcom that hits the mark for me. Ewan McGregor and Cameron Diaz play well together, with fabulous support from Holly Hunter, Delroy Lindo, Stanley Tucci and Dan Hedaya. A 41 critic rating is criminal imho. Clearly audiences more broadly enjoyed it, but it's a 10 in my book, not a 6.
You had me at Tucci
The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou
I always loved Inspector Gadget as a kid. Watched it again with my kid recently, and its pretty cringe. But the kid inside me still loves it.
Even if you hate the film, you gotta admit that the theme goes hard
The Beach
I saw cobra recently and loved it. Very dumb trope filled movie but it’s a ton of fun. And so many weird choices like Stallone eating pizza with scissors
Gosling character's toothpick in Drive is an homage to Cobra, since Refn is a fan of the movie
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=401K11ux_TI
MacGruber (2010) 47/35. Hilarious and I don't care what anyone says. The scene where MacGruber is telling the story of how he and Kunth were college friends is absolutely brilliant. Glad they made the TV show too, although it probably could have just been "MacGruber 2."
She as carrying his child at the time. I insisted we terminate it so we could have a fresh start and she agreed.
The scene where Macgruber is fucking the ghost of his dead wife on her tombstone, and it cuts to him standing there alone, naked, just humping air and grunting is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
How he starts out with I have no idea and casually says he stole the love of his life after naming him his best man hahaha
The KFBR392 scene and the "putting a team together" scene with all the WWE guys were my favorites.
The Ninth Gate
Not gonna lie... I enjoy that movie too.. So rewatch able
Grandmas Boy is the answer.
Your bed is a car.
I thinking of getting robot legs. It's a risky operation, but it'll be worth it
"I can hear my hair growing"
"This weed is killer, where'd you get it?"
Brothers Solomon. Directed by Bob Odenkirk, Will Arnett and Will Forte are the eponymous brothers. It has a great cast and it's really funny, just the opening credits alone make me crack up, I don't know why it has a 16% on rotten tomatoes. I saw it in the theatres twice and both times me and my friends were the only ones there. Comedy is subjective I guess.
So many of the funniest movies have bad RT scores. Dirty Work is 14%. Wet Hot American Sumner has 38%. Tommy Boy is 41%. Not a genre that reviews well.
Additionally, Let’s go to prison also directed by Bob Odenkirk. It’s dogshit, but I still enjoyed it idk why.
Life Aquatic is only around 50% last time I checked and it’s fun.
That is a strange one to be so weirdly rated. Has some peak anderson moments:
Too many to name, Lord of war is one.
The opening scene is a classic.
The A Team (2010). I thought it was stupid fun and would love to have seen a sequel. I had never seen the show so didn’t have an attachment to the source material, I just thought it was a fun action flick
Copley needs to be a better movie picker because he's in so much stuff that gets destroyed by critics/bombs or is shit.
I’m a kid from the 80s (or old man). Big fan of the tv series and thought the film hit all the right notes. It knows what it is and doesn’t try to be what it isn’t.
That movie was solid
The Cell (45/57)
Super Troopers - 36% - it's one of our favorite comedies and is very quotable.
Kung Pow: Enter the fist has a 13% rating yet is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen and is a movie I quote regularly even if a lot of people don't get the reference.
I must apologize for those critics, they are idiots. We have purposely trained them wrong... as a joke!
I rock, and roll, all day long, sweet Susie.
You just broke a thermometer in my hand.
I implore you to reconsider.
Billy Madison has a 41.
The Ninth Gate -one of my fave movies, couldnt believe how low its score is
What?
Thoroughly unscrupulous
Strange Wilderness (2008) has a 6% I think.
[удалено]
How TF does Wet Hot American Summer only have a 38%. It's a classic.
The RT score for Dude, Where's My Car is like actually criminal to me, I don't think I've seen a funnier movie
Aaaaandd thhheeeeeennnnnn?
dude!
Showgirls for....reasons.
I like Wild Wild West. I think its a fun, cheesy, crappy 60s TV throwback. It is what it is and, no it'll never enter my top.10 but it entertains harmlessly enough for 90 minutes. That and Kenneth Branagh is great as always.
Last Action Hero (38%).
I've never understood why that movie was "panned" back in the day. It's fucking delightful.
CONSTANTINE with Keanu Reeves and Rachel Weisz. Such a fun, compelling supernatural thriller with really cool worldbuilding and visuals. Peter Stormare also plays my favourite version of the devil and there are some great performances from awesome character actors like Tilda Swinton and Djimon Honsou. It only has a 46% on RT which really boggles my mind/
Miami Vice (2006), 47% on RT. I think it suffered from critics seeing the name and expecting the cool pastel tinged neon buddy cop style of the original show without taking into account that it wasn't the 80s anymore and that it was still a movie directed by Michael Mann. Plus the fact that about half of it isn't set in Miami.
I thought that it was a good movie with really beautiful digital cinematography, but as you pointed out, they changed so much that I wish they just dropped the Miami Vice name altogether and made the film its own thing instead, rather than setting up false expectations.
It's just not Miami vice without the noog man
Little Nicky has a special creative spot in my heart, granted I do love heaven/hell concepts in movies but I will die on this hill!
I'm from the South, the Deep South!
Starship Troopers! The only good bug is a dead bug. Would you like to know more?
The movie Timeline has like 11% which I don't think it deserves. It's a perfectly adequate action movie.
Grave encounters I & II
Add pretty much any comedy from the 90s. Tommy Boy, Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, Home Alone etc
Ha, I haven't thought of Kingdom of Heaven in a very long time. Used to enjoy that movie as a kid.
A Million Ways To Die In The West
The Butterfly Effect
Willow 1988, and The Punisher 1990.
JOHN CARTER (2012, 52% on RT) ruled & should have been the first of at least a trilogy.
Jim Carey Grinch
"Nice kid........Baaaaaaaad judge of character."
Everything Martha may whovier says is just hilarious to me
I initially hated it, because the original Chuck Jones animated Grinch is my all-time favorite Christmas movie, but it's since grown on me. Jim Carrey absolutely gives it his all, and it has some great quotable lines:
The sets and costumes in this movie alone make it worth a watch.
Hudson Hawk is one of my favourites 34% on Rotten Tomatoes But I love watching it.
Drop Dead Fred - RT 11% (!).
That’s crazy. It is a great movie.
Hook has a 29%
Alex Cross….there i said it. Matthew Fox got rid of probably 97% body fat and replaced it with pure muscle. I’m a HUGE fan of Lost so maybe that had something to do with my decision.
Tron Legacy is 51% and rotten and one of my top 5 films.
Meteor (1979). I watched it as a kid and it made me love disaster movies. Its rated at 5% but I love it. Sean Connery brings it to life.
Bullet Train. It’s easily a 90% movie that is sub 60%
Meet Joe Black (44%)
Reno 911 Miami is absolutely hilarious and only a 34%
Hudson Hawk. 1991 film with Bruce Willis. It has a terrible score, but for some reason I love that movie. I think it's the music, plus the fact that I love horses.
I heard the other day Grandma's Boy have a really low score. It's one of my favourite movies.
The 13th Warrior. It’s a very entertaining 6 of 10.
Across the Universe is a super fun and creative musical, genuinely a favorite of mind. It’s rotten on RT and lots of people hate it, I don’t understand why
Van helsing with hugh jackman
