What is a movie that "looks like" it would suck, but actually is well written and acted and a good time?

I'll start: "Happy Death Day"
Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
I didn’t think the trailer looked good and it felt meh, but I ended up loving the movie a lot.

Bunraku is one of those movies that has a stellar cast, but no one's ever heard of it. It's a revenge movie but it's over-the-top cheesy and edgy, but in all the good ways. Seriously give it a chance. It's not a good movie, but it is a fun one.

A space-ship that’s 60% glass, 20% stiffener bars and 20% normal space-ship stuff,
Perhaps that was transparent aluminum, and not glass.

The Cabin in the Woods. Only seen it once so far and I'm still floored thinking back on it and how well it did its thing.
I was about to say the same, the purge was such a creative joy

::: spoiler Tap for spoiler
"You're gonna die screaming and I'm gonna watch" will never not be a badass line, and "I propose that whatever he is trying to dislodge is either gone for good or there to stay" will never stop amusing me.
:::I wouldn't say those are definitely the best lines in the movie, but probably top 5, definitely top 10.
The dislodge line is where we had to pause for laughing. Delivered with such testiness.

It was super attentive to d&d details such as almost all the classes of the party using intelligence as dump stats or the specifics of the spells mechanics while also not needing the audience to know any of that to have a good time and understand what was going on.
And the use of d&d lore and mechanics were woven into the characters and narrative, it wasn't just hey remember this thing from d&d. Way underrated, probably bad marketing.

Pandorum. At a glance it like like just another bad sci-fi, but it's really good horror sci-fi mind fuckery with a fantastic twist. Dennis Quaid is great in it.
Pandorum was fantastic. I need to watch it again.

I actually liked Rhianna in that film
Edit: downvotes? Is my personal experience somehow incorrect?
It's what I love most about Lemmy.
