Ask Lemmy

For me it's The Core.

Hardcore Henry

Southland Tales

Okay, here we go:
47 Ronin (16 critic, 48 audience)
Priest (15 critics, 46 audience)

And (at least) two of my favorite movies:

Immortal (43 critics, 53 audience)

Doomsday (51 critics, 44 audience)

Small Soldiers (1998) - got 49% Loved this film when I was a kid and I still do.

Scorpion King.

Dumb fun and i love it.

Also as someone else said already, Equilibrium and Prince of Persia.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation

Cowboys & Aliens

I liked Transcendence and I thought it my qualify. 19% from critics, 37% from audiences. Wow, it is over qualified.

The Fountain is my favorite movie of all time, and it has a 52% critic score on RT. Audience Score is better-ish though at 77%, so maybe it's just the critics who didn't get it.

Anyone say Pixels yet?

I'm not an Adam Sandler fan, the effects folks just did a really fun job and I get a little hit of dopamine seeing retro characters in real life.

Rotten tomatoes is a terrible site to sort/filter by. Dear god what terrible UI.

I too liked Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, and as someone else mentioned National Treasure and Transcendence.

This took a few tries, so here is everything I found.

I got Cowboys & Aliens, but technically that doesn't work for the xkcd rules because that movie came out the month before my 18th birthday. Very close though. And I guess it's kind of a case of so bad it's good, for most people, but for me, it's the James Bond / Indiana Jones crossover I always wanted and it's probably the closest thing I'll ever get.

I enjoyed Aladdin (2019), Don't Look Up, and Don't Worry Darling but I wouldn't say they are among my favorite films. They only meet the requirement for reviewer score though. And I think audience score is where it's at for this challenge. Suicide Squad works for this version of the challenge, but not for xkcd on audience score. Anyone can like a film that did poorly with critics.

This is probably going to end poorly for me, but for the rules as written xkcd challenge, I got Pixels. It's an Adam Sandler movie, and I know some people don't like those. I'm not crazy about Adam Sandler films, but this one was about video games and I really enjoyed it. I think Sandler did it justice. His experience with video games seemed to be primarily from arcades, but I think that is a valid perspective.

I watched it with my roommate during college. I guess some people hate it because they feel the original vision wasn't done justice for the short film it was based on. I might have seen some of that original short film, I can't rule that out for certain. But based on the version I found on youtube while writing this I clearly hadn't. The controversy didn't detract from my enjoyment of Pixels.

I'm cheating a bit with a 1994 movie, but I genuinely enjoy watching Wagons East! It has 0% on Rotten Tomatoes, but I like it. I'm probably the exact target audience: I like westerns, and I like movies that make fun of them.

Probably Elizabethtown - Cameron Crowe movie from 2005.

Next (2007), starring the One True God, alongside Julianne Moore and Jessica Biel.

It's a brilliant movie (loosely) based on a Philip K Dick short story. It's been nominated and won actual awards (Worst Actor and Worst Supporting Actress from the prestigious Razzie Awards, Worst Foreign Actor from the Yoga Awards), and it stands the test of time comfortably at 28% on the tomatometer.

I wish I was kidding. I've watched this over a dozen times. I can't stop. Send help.

I don't trust and hence use these rating services. I just watch the full movie
