What are the low-rated movies you enjoyed the most or think should be rated much higher?

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.

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'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 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]I laughed harder at that movie than probably any other. The Redlettermedia Re:watch of it is great as well.

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?

Anaconda has like a 4. Shits at least a 6. Opened doors for a lot of actors and was pretty damn decent.

To couldn't get into this either. Kung pow was good though, but I saw it as a kid.

I was in high school when Kung Pow was in theatres and I went with my friends. Half way through I just got up and waited outside for them. It just wasn’t for me.

My partner talks about that movie on the regular. She loves it and finds everything quite charming and carefree.
I'm so clueless I'm not even sure I'm thinking of the right movie

Imprinted on a child and now life long lovers? I'm in, where does this wild ride end?

I'm going to throw in Time Chasers and Manos: The Hands of Fate, if I may...
