discussion Movies with a low Metascore (<40) that you like?

[Jotham]

What is a movie with an unfavorable score on Metacritic that you like? An unfavorable Metascore is 39 or lower.

 

I'll start:

 

 

Friday the 13th Part 2

Metascore: 26

[Peroxide]

Miss Congeniality, iRobot, Neon Demon and The Island (2005) all have rotten tomatoes but I thoroughly enjoy all of them…

 

Oh and I’m a Catwoman apologist… it’s a fun campy romp. The gays understood the vision, nobody else did

[Into The Void]

A lot of rom coms

almost that low but when i found out people werent huge fans of charlie's angels and ca: full throttle i was shocked. like i always thought everyone liked them the way people liked legally blonde, mean girls but anyway i think theyre great, iconic, and deserving of better

[princedonte]

Too many to count. If I like it the reviews are irrelevant. 

[smartalek22]

I mean it's not the best movie but Emoji Movie was probably got a bad rating based on the concept more than the actual movie, which is just OK

[needs]

Gummo.

[tjspy]

Showgirls (1995)

 

23% is an OFFENSE for that camp cult.

[Devin]

nearly every film thats a staple in the Black community has a low metascore. 

[ninasayers]

Silent Hill (31)

But I'm a Cheerleader (39)

 

[Technicolor]

The Sweetest Thing. This scene is peak cinema

 

[umich]

 

19 on RT

25 on MC

This apparently has a 25 on Metacritic? How??? It's one of my favorite comedies ever. I was going to say Scream 3, but it looks like some critics appreciated that.

[MonsterJohn]

Critics scores are usually hit or miss, but audience scores are the tea tbh

[Matthew4815]

Identity Thief has a 35 and I think it's funny

[allforyou]

 

I really liked this movie. I'm surprised it only has a score of 37% on Rotten Tomatoes.

[McNulty]

White Chicks (15%)

[Dom]

Basically all of romcoms.

She’s The Man in particular, a masterpiece.

[DamianSolo]

Suicide Squad (2016). I saw it a couple of times in movie theaters, for how much I enjoyed it. I thought it was a really fun and entertaining film with a lot of great moments. Alternatively, I really didn't care too much for The Suicide Squad; people swear it's better than the former, but I just don't see it.

 

I generally don't agree with people when it comes to movies, actually breaking things down detail by detail. The DCEU, especially, just put me at odds with a lot of people—since I do greatly enjoy those films, with the only exceptions being the theatrical release of Justice League and The Flash.

Scooby Doo and Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed. maybe it's nostalgia speaking but i enjoy both, they're cheesy and camp in all the right ways for me tbh.

 

Dracula: Dead And Loving It. Leslie Nielsen is one of my favourite comedy actors ever, I can't not laugh when watching a movie with him in it (RIP)

White Chicks has 41 on metacritic though, but I do agree it was underrated by critics at the time. i think most of it holds up pretty well.
