Ask Lemmy

Dude Where's My Car.

Shit has 1 star and only 47% audience score (17% on the other score).

This is a lot easier if we're talking about the Tomatmeter and not the Audience Score. But if we can go with the average of the two, then...

The Man who Knew too Little

I love that movie. I completely unironically enjoy every minute of it. Is it good? No. Do I care? Hell no. I love that movie.

Scary movie, Scary movie 2 and Scary movie 3. I find those movies hilarious despite what people say.

Freddy Got Fingered

It's sitting at 11% on Rotten tomatoes

Doesn't break 60 as it has 63, but I think it still counts. Ang Lee's The Hulk. Ok listen, Abomination isn't great, and the hulk stuff is a snoozer. But I think it's the first and only movie with the Hulk in it that actually GOT the hulk. It's more a cerebral picture about Bruce Banner dealing with all of this, rather than an action movie. The Hulk is Bruce's failure, not his super hero. Edward Norton did a great job with the role, and honestly it really is worth a watch, just focus on the Bruce more than the Hulk and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Edit: Lol. Both replies are right, Louis Leterrier's Hulk Movie. Which sits at... . 67. The post remains!

The Time Traveler's Wife is a good movie.

It's currently rated 38 for critics and 59 for audience.

Absurdist and slapstick comedies are often a good answer to this question. I would argue that movies like Step Brothers and Wet Hot American Summer have some comic actors doing some of their best work. But people who aren’t a fan of the genre are going to shit on those movies.

After a lot of searching on Rotten Tomatoes, Venom? Fun and kinda goofy suoerhero comedy. I definitely liked it enough to watch the sequel

Battleship, its not groundbraking but worth more than 33% in my eyes.

I'm gonna level with ya all

Langoliers

Ok just hear me out

It has time travel and it's one of the few adaptations from a Stephen king book

I liked Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019).

I thought it was a fun movie and I liked Rey as a character

Across the Universe

It's under 60% and it's a fucking good Beatles movie.

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%.

Judge Dredd (1995) Judge as you will :)

I personally like Doom (2015). I understand the hate but I got a special edition dvd

Ghost rider bruh

The Super Mario Bros movie. It was really good but for some reason has a 59% rating on the tomato-meter, despite a 95% audience score. Very strange and it's why I just don't trust Rotten Tomatoes.

Speed Racer is my favortie movie of all time and i have been made fun of multiple times because of it.

Cube Zero (2004)

That's right, the prequel to the 1997 horror film Cube. Where people are trapped inside a cube that keeps killing them.

I feel like I'm cheating because it got some positive reviews, just not enough to even have a critic score. Audience score is in the 20's. I don't know why! It's a great follow up. Much better than the sequel, Hypercube. It gives us some much needed backstory on why the cubes exist and what their purpose is.

XKCD Alt-Text:

I wasn't a big fan of 3 or Salvation, so I'm trying to resist getting my hopes up too much for Dark Fate, but it's hard. I'm just a sucker for humans and robots traveling through time to try to drive trucks into each other, apparently.

Also if I can just flip the question a bit, one movie I didn't expect to love as much as I did (though it got deservedly good tomato ratings) was:

• Prey (2022)

I expected another in a long line of good action movies. Not the best, probably even just mediocre relative to the rest of the collection.

But I've found myself rewatching that one more than any other Alien/Predator movie, it's a truly great film.

One of if not the best Alien/Predator films ever made imo.

Audience score or critics score?

Netflix made that movie "Bright" and I thought it was pretty incredible.

Looks like the audience put it at 83% but critics have it as 26%

From Paris With Love. It's fast-paced, has funny quotes.

Warcraft - I loved that movie and hoped it would become a new franchise. The weirdest thing is there was a huge anti-campaign, like the "critics" gave it 29%, while audience gave it 76%. I still don't understand what exactly happened here.

Not even gonna front, I actually like the Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern movie.

This was way easier than I thought it'd be. I really like the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. It's Rotten Tomatoes score is 44%.

Battle: Los Angeles (37/48). I think it's a fun take on the "alien invasion of Earth" trope. Maybe that's because I play historical tabletop wargames (think Warhammer 40k, but with for example US paratroopers vs German panzer grenadiers).

Out Cold. It's a dumb snowboarding comedy movie, but I think it's dumb in a really funny way. It only has an 8% on rotten tomatoes but I think thats way incorrect.

If you go in expecting stupid humor it's actually got a lot of funny lines and moments.

I unabashedly love the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean movie, On Stranger Tides. It's my second favorite after the first. I guess I just never liked the Turner/Swann story lines so ditching them was refreshing. It's just a fun and silly adventure with beautiful visuals and cool supernatural stuff. Only has 57% audience rating but whatever I appreciate it.

Æon Flux, from 2005. 9% on RT. I'm not sure if it's nostalgia from seeing it as a teen or if the masses weren't ready for it or what, but it was just so unique and had such a cool vibe.

House of 1000 corpses, 21% on rotten tomatoes and a perfect 10/10 for me, the soundtrack and the visuals are incredible, with super fun villains to match.

I go with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Just like The Polar Express (which also has not the best rating) I really enjoy this movie around Christmas. Love the exaggerated characters and the absurd story :D

For me it's:

• Terminator 3 with 46% audience score and 70% tomatometer
• Gone in sixty seconds with 25% tomatometer and 77% audience score
