What are the low-rated movies you enjoyed the most or think should be rated much higher?
-
Honestly though. Thank you so much cause I was trying multiple different methods.
It took me a couple of edits, but I did it.

I'm asking because an IMDb rating cutoff above 6.5+-5 seems to generally do a good job making sure I don't regret watching something. But what am I missing among the sub-6? I know they exist, but it is hard to select among seas of...bad movies.
I really liked the 2022 sci-fi movie 'Deus', 4.4/10 on IMDB.

This is definitely one of those movies you either hate or love. And I was just the right age /immaturity to love it. Showed it to some 12 year old cousins and only like 2 of 4 liked it.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Wouldn't say I love it but I really liked Not Another Teen Movie when I first saw it. Not sure how it holds up but the parody it makes of those high school romcoms was good.
In a similar vein, Scary Movie 2 and 3 were also really funny to me as a kid.

I actually like the Tom Cruise War of the Worlds good sound mixing too.
The brother’s storyline is ridiculous and ruins the movie.

The David lynch version of Dune. I find it much more enjoyable than the recent version(s). The art direction and casting are amazing.
The only clunky part is in the TV cut where they use storyboards and voiceovers to give some back history about the Mentats. Pretty sure this was not in the theatrical release though it’s been a while since I’ve rewatched it. Oh and the human close ups of riding the worms is showing its age in the special effects department.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
I also found it entertaining. It's so bad that it is fun.

Freddy Got Fingered! The joke is on the studio and audience, and most did not want to laugh along...
I'm being creative! Daddy would you like some sausages?

IDK about "rated higher" but I love Jet Li's The One
There's exactly 127 universes in the multiverse. Why? Never discussed. And if one version of you kills another, every other version gets that much stronger. So Jet Li plays both the hero and the villain as well as an assortment of the villain's victims. Jason Statham is in it too, as the hotheaded junior partner multiverse cop out to bring the villain down.
Weird guns! Weird tech! A prison universe! Super powered martial arts! A climactic fight in a foundry where you can tell the hero from the villain by the color of their shirt! Man I love this movie!
It's when they go through the pictures of Jet Li's victims that gets me every time. It's just him with different wigs. The one with dreadlocks is hilarious.
I genuinely love this movie. Very entertaining. Soundtrack isn't half bad either.

How is Jingle All The Way at 5.6? It’s a banger Xmas classic.
It's wholesome. Where is justice in the world?

Darkness Falls 5.0 on imdb. A ok horror film. I like it because it's pretty decently thought out. The minor characters do start to listen to the guy in the know once he is shown to know what's going on.
Man, this was the centre of a lot of my nightmares when I was younger.

I watched the entire “Kissing Booth” trilogy with a friend recently. They’re cute teen rom-coms and I enjoyed all of the movies and characters. The writing is corny, but it seemed to intentionally have a kind of theater club vibe to me. I kept thinking the cast must have had a lot of fun.
Should it be rated higher? No idea. I think ratings are stupid tbh.

I totally agree when it comes to what a single person rates it as (single critic reviews etc). However, when reviews are added together, it gives a idea on what the general public thinks about it. That does not mean you have to agree.
I remember when The 13th Warrior with Antonio Banderas was released, it was slaughtered by critics, but the general public loved it.

In the army now!
5.0. Pauly Shore, Andy Dick, David Alan Greer, Lori Petty
That's....uhhhh...quite a cast
-
Idiocracy. Has stood the test of time surprisingly well for a movie containing so many fart and sex jokes.
It's the greatest movie ever made and people who don't think so are inferior to me

I wanted to recommend The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, but it's sitting at 6.2 on IMDB, which is higher than I expected. I'm still going to, because it's great. Jeff Goldblum plays the most normal person in the film.
It's BigbooTAY!

wrote last edited by [email protected]Maybe if those ratings came from a movie theater exit poll, then I’d agree. Instead it’s like most other self reported ratings online. Essentially no one enters their rating except for: the people who really liked it, people who really didn’t like it, wannabe critics, weirdos who like to spend their time rating things despite never having seen them, and bots. The vast majority of people don’t rate movies because they don’t care enough. In my opinion ratings are just easily manipulated data that often exists just to reinforce conformity of opinion.
If you look at the ratings for the first “Kissing Booth” movie, there’s tons of reviews that essentially say the lead actress wasn’t hot enough. Then you consider that despite the first movie being rated terribly, the company thought it was actually well enough received for them to make two more movies.

Only 1 of 2 movies I have ever walked out of in the theatres. It’s so bad.
What was the other movie?

E: and I nearly walked out of the first LOTR in theatres but pushed through.
