Movies that you loved but you found out that they werent well received by critic

I watched the road to el dorado when I was a kid (about 6 years old or something) and I loved the movie, and then I watched it a few more times over the years, I think the last time I watched the movie was 3 years ago and I still liked it.

recently I found out that the movie was not well received by critics and that it was a box office failure...I was so dissapointed :(

and plenty of other action films which seem cheap but were nonetheless good

Alien VS Predator was awesome :P Oh well maybe I have bad taste

The Life Aquatic. I also liked the one with Robert De Niro going around to all his kids, who all turn out to be jerks.

Yeah, Guest House Paradiso. The critics hammered it, but it's still my favourite comedy movie of all time.

I liked Sucker Punch, the critics did not. I also love Blade Runner, and the critics hated that movie when it was released.

Chloe, I recently watched it on Netflix Streaming and I think it is one of the greatest erotic thrillers behind Basic Instinct.

interesting question. Van helsing. or did that get mixed reviews? i also like phantom planet. a movie that was on MST3K. don't ask me why. i just do.

Universal Soldier and basically every Jean-Claude Van Damme movie.

I love Cloverfield. The Green Hornet was pretty funny as well.

Grandma's Boy. Movie got like 1 star, but I love the hell out of it.

That movie is amazing. I never knew it wasn't liked. I checked the reviews for myself and it was absolutely trashed... Oh well, I still like it.

Loved the setting, characters, and visuals.

Not the best animated film of the years, by far, but a good unique animated movie.

Plenty of them, because critics don't like entertaining movies :P. If I were to pick an example, I'd say From Paris With Love. That movie was fantastic, and didn't recieve enough recognition. To me, a movie is succesful if it manages to entertain me. I never understood why people would watch a movie for any other reason.

The Jerky Boys. But that movie isn't made to be popular, it's funny for it's foul language and jokes.

Bladerunner was pretty good... in fact I rather enjoyed it. It's such a chillout film.

Journey to the Center of the Earth with Brendan Fraser. :P Though I guess I knew it was going to be a guilty pleasure in the first place.Sajo7

I thought that was pretty good as well actually. There needs to be more adventure films, but more adult orientated (and no not tomb raider).

Watchmen, Crank 2, Due Date, Tron: Legacy, Cloverfield, and many many others.

Amma say it right now and say it proud... Wild Hogs is an awesome movie.Ninja-Hippo

I LOVE that movie :lol:

Tbh, I'm not hard to please when it comes to movies. Even if it was awful, there's still a good chance I liked it.

Mr. Deeds. I was surprised.

Leejjohno

It's also widely considered to be one of the best sci-fi films ever so it doesn't really fit in this thread.

Half the movies I loved as a kid were actually terrible.

Superman 3, Blade Runner, The Grudge, Blade Trinity.

9, Tansformers, Transformers: revenge of the Fallen, Conviction(2010). i was actually surprised Conviction didnt do too good. i thought it was great, best movie ive seen in a long ass time.

there are more, but i cant remember the names:P

I liked Sahara.

Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace

*Prepares sturdy flame shield*

Superman 3, Blade Runner, The Grudge, Blade Trinity.

ContraQueen

Ok seriously now two people said Blade Runner?

In that case I'm changing my answer to The Godfather.

Bottle Rocket and The Life Aquatic are easily the two most underrated films of all time, and they are both directed by Wes Anderson. Really incredibly movies, and frankly unbelievable that they were received the way they were.
