Movies you like that have very low rating. Use rotten tomatoes for comparison.
Troll 2, Beerfest, Birdemic, Manos: The Hands of Fate
Exorcist 2 comes to mind.
I thoroughly enjoyed Batman and Robin and Batman Forever.
I didn't think WaterWorld was that bad either.
Howard the Duck. Loved it then, love it now.
Waterworld
Predator 2
Battlefield: Earth - no, seriously, this isn't that bad.
Nightmare on Elm Street 2
forgot to put Leonard Part 6 and Hobgoblins in my earlier post
SUCKER PUNCH. Why on earth can't other people see how brilliant this movie is?
Not enough people realize that HOUSE OF THE DEAD is so-bad-it's-good.
The Mexican SANTA CLAUS (1959) gets a lot of unnecessary hate just because it's creepy.
people front on Not Another teen Movie sometimes but I think it's pretty amazing. especially the director's cut.

Or at least just acknowledge that it's not to their tasted. I loathe
Napoleon Dynamite, but claim it's a horrific movie; it's not necessarily bad movie-making just because I don't like it.
Battlefield Earth: Everybody says this movie is so, so, ssssooooooo horribly bad but nobody can seem to tell me why. I only heard bad things about it after I watched it. I was entertained so the movie did its job. It had aliens and alien technology and weird visuals so I was happy.
Waterworld/The Postman: Costner seems to get a lot of hate on the internet and I don't really know why. I didn't have a problem with either of these films (Waterworld also has Dennis Hopper so you can't lose!).
It's all a case of "hate it because it's cool to hate it", and I doubt many people who say this stuff to day have even seen the movies in question, they just know from movie sites that "this film" is "bad" because "these people said so".
Skyline: First off, I totally agree that the sub-plot of cheating spouses and relationship angst is completely unnecessary to the story and plain suicidal when held to the events portrayed but the aliens, when you got to see them, kept me in the theater. A very good case of monster-makes-the-movie because I didn't really care too much whether any one person survived or not.
Uwe Boll Movies-Ok sure he makes undeniably bad movies but a look at his filmography shows he is far from the monster the internet wants to potray him as. Rampage is a good movie overall that stands up to repeated viewings. Heart of America is a decent film with a nice clint howard serious preformance. Finally Stoic is disturbing but worth a watch for sure.
So of the 5 boll movies i saw (the others are house of the dead and postal) their were 3 intriguing original films and 2 ones that were at least so bad their watchable. Considering how many s**t movies come out each year I find the internets obsession with boll's badness to be somewhat misguided.
Batman Forever
Highlander 2: Renegade Version
Howard the Duck

And no-I'm not being sarcastic.
I actually DO like it.
It has a rural feel to it...it's like sitting next to a stream in the woods....just listening to the silence and the surroundings.
Sure-it may put you to sleep-but I LIKE to sleep. Sleep is nice. :smile:
Trailer sez-"Never have you seen a picture like this!"
Can't argue with that line.
An awful slow motion wreck of a movie.
Like being locked up in the drunk tank counting the tiles on the floor.

Hear hear! If they took the action scenes out everybody would hail it as a David Lynch-like psychological film, but nope, action = bad in the eyes of the critics.
And this is where I mention Striptease.

I love this film
The Strangers. Creepy, quietly intense horror film in a time when the genre is all about getting the demographic, or pushing some imaginary envelope...
I love Zombi 3... Like really I love it. Even more than Zombi.
Alien 3 comes to mind.

Do you mean as in the sequel to Zombi 2/Zombie/Zombie Flesh Eaters, or Zombie Flesh Eaters 3/Zombie 4:After Death? Aaagh I'm so confused... Zombi 3 was called Zombie 3 there, whilst Zombi 2 was called Zombie, and there was just no Zombie 2? And Zomie 4: After Death? Here (UK) we have Zombie Flesh Eaters (Zombi 2), Zombie Flesh Eaters 2 (Zombi 3) and Zombie Flesh Eaters 3 (After Death).... ACK! Confused!

I liked that as well, but I probably would've liked it better if I hadn't already seen "Vacancy," which was very similar, a short time before it.

Halloween 3: Season of the Witch

Halloween 3: Season of the Witch
The only one in the series I like actually.
Trick Or Treat (I think its great social commentary for the time personally)
Xanadu (no worse than all musicals and the songs aren't that bad)
Alien Resurrection (I liked the gene splicing Alien idea, that and "Becky" looked great :wink:)
I might get hate for this, but I liked Land of the Lost with Will Ferrell. Dumb fun.
GHOST RIDER and GREEN LANTERN; I'm familiar with both characters, and I think the films did them justice, unlike (BARRRRRRRRFF) DAREDEVIL.

Theatrical Daredevil, I'll give you, but the directors cut improved that movie greatly.
And even the theatrical version of Daredevil was still better than Elektra and Man-Thing.
