For me it’s Star Trek: The Motion Picture. It’s in my top 10 films of all time. 44% critic score, 42% audience score. It’s a reason I have no faith in critic scores and sometimes audience scores. shite like Ghostbusters 2016 can get showered with praise, but this movie was shite on for literally being the Star Trek film that was the closest in tone to the TV series.

There are other movies that I like, mainly horror, with really low scores, deservingly so, but I like them partly because they’re trash. But Star Trek I is totally undeserving of it’s rough criticism in my opinion.

National Treasure - 44% on Rotten Tomatoes



One of my favorite movies. It is fantastic entertainment with an excellent dash of American history mixed in.

Whoa. That low? I was in my mid-teens when it came out and I liked it. Still pissed we never got a third film.

Good thing they at least have cult status going for them.

There are too many comedies to list with low scores. Probably 3/4 of my favorite comedies have bad scores.

The biggest offense: The Sandlot. Clearly people are idiots and have bad taste in movies, especially my childhood favorite.

Funny how so many people hate rotten tomatoes when they aren’t the ones reviewing these movies

I would guess most critics reviewing this professionally in 1993 were not kids. Reviews for kids movies are always weird because critics aren't in the target age demographic.

I know several people who didn't see The Sandlot until adulthood and think it's a crummy movie.

I also love it, but I've seen it countless times starting from age 5.


I'll second A Knight's Tale as one whose quality is not matched properly with its RT score. Funny, clever, at least 4 great performances, and a winking self-aware attitude. It's not a perfect film, but it's a decently-made blast.

50 First Dates - 45% Not the lowest score but whenever it's on I watch it. Adam Sandler gets shite on a lot but if I got paid millions of dollars to make movies with my friends I'd jump at the opportunity.
