Off the top of my head

Batman V Superman - I hate Ben Affleck but i thought he played batman well

Star Wars Prequels - I don't know how this could have been any better? It was a time of peace before the empire took over so it was shown that way

The Last Jedi - A few stupid things and side quests but over all story was ok

Hobbit first movie - Most people will say it was slow, but to me it felt better paced that LOTR. I don't know I enjoyed it more. Perhaps LOTR music for me was just too corny.

King Solomons Mines / Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold - The low budget Indiana Jones movies

Bourne Identity (80s one) - Most people hated it cause it was less action. I liked it cause it was more story focused and explained things and investigated things, not just shot, blowout and run

Pretty much most of 80s horror movies lol - i.e. dolly dearest, piranhas, slugs. Terrible plots but i don't know were entertaining to watch lol.

I coudl go on forever, most 70s/80s movies that got scores in the 5s/7s i enjoyed (terrence hill / bud spencer movies, segal movies).

King Solomons Mines / Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold - The low budget Indiana Jones movies

I loved those, as well as Romancing the stone and The jewel of the nile. What happened to the 80's adventure genre! Bring it back.

journey to the center of the earth was great as well, the remake not even that bad.

The Fourth Kind is another film I hear a lot of "meh" things about, but found myself enjoying.

The one with the lead actress  from the RE movies right? I thought I was the only one who enjoyed that movie. I was so surprised to see the reviews after I watched it. It blew me away when I watched it.

Yup, Milla Jovovich. And I had a fun time with this one, too. Yes, it's a very flawed film and by no means is it the best paranormal film out there, but one I can shut my brain off and enjoy for what it is.

Kung Pow! is probably the best answer I can give. It was hated by many, MANY people. The Pest is another. Incidentally, The Pest is where I got "Coktoe" from, although in the movie and in it's earlier incarnations on my various online accounts, the spelling was COCKTOE. PSN forced my hand in the removal of the K.....Anyways. Let's Go To Prison, and Semi-Pro are 2 more. All comedies. I can't think of any other movies that would fit the bill.

Glass is not getting good reviews, but I love the film. I love the whole trilogy. I'd been waiting for 19 years for Glass to be made. I wasn't disappointed in the slightest.

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Event Horizon which is a cult classic by now.

Sphere with Dustin Hoffman one of my favorites.. no one mentions this movie anywhere at all and the few that do think its fucking stupid.

Jaws 3D and Jaws: The Revenge. I saw them both as a kid, way before I saw the first two, so perhaps nostalgia plays a part.

Jaws: The Revenge gets too much hate, it was decent. The only dodgey bit is that the shark followed them to the bahamas lol, implying it was smart to know where they went lo.

The banana boat scene is brutal. My favourite part of the film.

Good film that. Really scared me the first time I saw it (alone in the dark at about 1am).

I reckon most people don't know Glass connects to the other two movies. On its own it is a litle dry, but as a trilogy it actually make sense the way the move was made.

Great movies.

I also enjoyed the Cube trilogy. The 2nd and 3rd movie get a lot of flack, I liked them.

I had a period 2-3 years ago when I binged a lot of horror movies. The Cube was insane, such an original and weird concept. I wasn't a fan of the second one though some of the ideas explored in the movie like the passage of time were really cool.
