I think for me it's alien: covenant. I was really interested in the ideas explored in prometheus and covenant just expanded on them. I don't get much into the details of why it is or isn't a good movie.

Luckily, though, HBO ran raised by wolves which really delved into ideals about AI and planet seeding etc. So that itch got way scratched even if the run was cut short.

Bloodsport.

What a great movie! It was also well received by the audience not critics 0, was a financial success and kickstarted Jean-Claude Van damme's career.

Let's not even talk about the soundtrack conceivably one of the best pieces of written music ever made.

(Anybody who's actually ever listen to the soundtrack is currently nodding their heads)

There are a ton of comedies where the critic ratings are low but the audience is high.

Grandma's Boy 15 critic 85 audience was the one that is at the top of my head. Hot damn that is a spread, and I am with the audience.

I always go by audience. The fact that they are critics seems like a type of selection bias.

I've always thought percy jackson and the Olympians was alright. Sure it's not exactly a 1:1 with the books but I enjoyed them

Dr Suess The Cat in The Hat with Mike Myers

Off topic but it needs to be said :

Star wars 7, 8 and 9 aren't terrible. Or if they are, they are in the same way 4, 5 and 6 were. (we don't talk about 1, 2 and 3)

Nostalgia is not a synonym for quality.

I'll dissolve into the force on that hill.

You may resume your ongoing activities.

I will stand by Pauly Shore's Pinocchio as pure art, but I can't promise that I've ever seen it sober, or that I've sat through the entire thing (I may have?).

I also enjoyed Wonka which has decent ratings but I've always heard people talking shit on it.
