I just looked up Event Horizon and it only got a 33%. I love that movie. It genuinely really creeped me out. Few horror films do.

That is absurd! Event Horizon is the only legit Doom movie. That was the idea all along and they even used the sound clip from the spawn cube in the movie.
Also, although I am not a 40k fan, I know some people see this as a prequel to Warhammer 40k as the moment in which humans first get to use the Warp.
It was ruined by execs, but it is a masterpiece, especially in the production design.
Good choice. For all the flaws the film might have, it perfectly accomplishes what it sets out to do: it genuinely fucking scares you.
Chappie (32%)
I love that movie and have seen it several times. Directed by Noel Blompkamp (District 9) and starring Die Antwoord.
It’s extremely original and entertaining sci fi.
Agree. Its no "MaStErPiEcE" but it was for sure not a 32%.
Wtf how is it 32%? While maybe not a masterpiece it was a decent movie, I really enjoyed it as well and also cried when the robot got hurt
I liked Chappie a lot when it came out, I was and still am a fan of Neill Blomkamp's work, but found this one harder to enjoy over the years the more I learned about how awful the two people from Die Antwoord are in real life.
Titan A.E. only got a 50% and it is incredible and still holds up!
Cosmic Castaway is a fuckin good song too
Only 50%?! Holy crap! I guess they really don't wanna live on Planet Bob.
Rat Race is 45% and I don't know why. Audience score is 64%.
The whole Barbie Museum bit was just fantastic. Makes me laugh just thinking back on it.
I unironically like Sucker Punch. And no, it's not only because of scantily clad women.
Definitely helps tho 👀
I didn't understand the hate Sucker Punch got until I found out that the theatrical release was cut down to a PG-13 movie. To make it PG-13 they had to cut the core themes from the movie since they were not PG-13 appropriate.
I had only watched the unrated directors cut and never saw the theatrical version so any time I talked about this movie people had no idea what I was talking about. The story and supporting scenes were completely gutted and that's why people say the movie didn't have a good story - it was removed.
Maximum Overdrive
Civil War. I don't know the rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but I do know that it is a recent movie, and 196 sent me here lol
Grandma's Boy is a perfect stoner comedy. Featuring Nick Swardson in a hilarious breakout performance. RT can kiss 15% of my ass.
Idiocracy is one of my favorite movies. When it came out, it was far below 50%, but after some of the things on the movie started becoming true, it became popular.
I really enjoyed the concept and story of In Time, which apparently has a 37% tomato meter and 51% audience score. That was probably the first less than 60% one I saw I particularly liked.
Edit: I take it back, I choose Elysium. It has a 59% audience meter and I frickin LOVE that movie, all the way down to the villain being super crazy and virtually unintelligible.
I really enjoyed the concept and story of In Time
If you liked the concept you may want to watch the 1987 short The Price of Life.
Thanks, I'll check it out!
Tron: Legacy
This is one of my favourite movies of all time. The story, atmosphere, and music are absolutely amazing!
It's below 60%? That's a travesty!
100% agree! Totally surprised to see it below 60%. I thought it did really well when it came out...
Disney's Atlantis.
God I love that movie.
Automata 2014
Oblivion 2013
Jupiter Ascending 2015
Evolution 2001
There might be a pattern in there somewhere...
You love bland Sci-Fi
I kinda liked In Time
I didn't know In Time got bad reviews. It wasn't a geeat film, but it was good and had an interesting concept.
me neither, and tbh it doesn't have a critics score on rotten tomatos, but its audience score is at 51%
Uh that's easy. I just needed to lookup M. Night Shyamalan.
Both The Village and Lady in the Water got under 60% (the latter even under 50%). I liked them both.
Lady in the Water indeed felt like a fairy tale. James Newton Howard produced a very fitting and fantastic score for it. I enjoyed that movie and watched it multiple times.
The Village had some genuinely good twist(s) and I found it to be a thrilling watch. The soundtrack (James Newton Howard again) was also remarkable. And I liked the whole premise of the story as well as the moral of the story: you can't run from misery. It's a part of living.
I am not quite sure why Lady in the Water was received so badly. In case of The Village I completely blame marketing though. The trailer(s) made it out to be a horror movie, attracting the wrong audience and then letting them down.
Ghost rider bruh
Tricky. I mean I really like it too, but isn't every good Nic Cage film "so bad it's good"?
Every Nic Cage film is entertaining, but there are some genuinely great and terrible ones.
I wrote a whole review on Reddit why I genuinely enjoy Karate Kid 4 about a year ago and was downvoted to oblivion, lol. Movie has some pricy topics that were quite unspoken about in the 90s.
Final Fantasy: the spirits within.
The animation felt way ahead of its time. It's been over a decade since I watched it, but I have very fond and exciting memories of watching it.

Bunraku, and despite the title it's an english movie with Woody Harrelson and Ron Perlman. Its setting stands out the most as it's made as a giant paper popup book with a sin city ambiance sprinkled with some cartoony humor.
Although the movie tone is pretty serious ala Sin City, it's not a serious movie at all. And I believe a lot of dont-take-it-so-serious movies got unjustly canned a lot in '00s & '10s by critics. I'm glad to see that's changing a bit over last few years.
Loved Bunraku. Can't remember a thing except that I loved watching it.
Knight and Day is a light feel-good action comedy.
What's up with RT ratings though? A lot of movies I'd deem okayish have ratings < 50%.
Battleship, its not groundbraking but worth more than 33% in my eyes.
I just enjoy the scene of the oldtimers strutting in like true chads and showing the youngsters how to take care of the big lady. It's so wonderfully corny. And it's such wonderful bullshit, and when you learn how many hands were necessary to run such a ship, it's even more fun.
Iron Sky!!
Who doesn't love a movie about Nazis hiding for 60 years in a secret base on the dark side of the moon?!?!
"Eine Beförderungsplattform für duale ultra-schwere relativistische kinetische Atomhaubitzen" made my day, back then, ...
Reign of Fire only has a 42% (Critics), 49% (Audience) rating on RT, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. The visuals and sets create a nice moody post-apocalyptic vibe, and the actors deliver decent performances imo.
