I usually have it the other way around. I'll watch something, think it's bad only to discover it has 90% on Rotten Tomatoes.

For me it was people shitting on TRON:Legacy. I saw it opening weekend in 3D by myself. Fucking loved it. Saw it a second time the following weekend with my gf at the time. She was indifferent to it. I still loved it. Then other people would bash it and even The Big Bang Theory jumped on the tron bashing bandwagon. As far as I care, everyone else is wrong, that movie was amazing for a reboot.

Waterworld is one of my favourite movies.

Happened to me after watching Thor 2 during covid. I enjoyed it. Looked it up afterwards and it was ranked the worst movie in the MCU up until that point.

What's worse is watching a movie years after release, liking it and wondering why there is no sequel. Only to find out one person involved raped everybody.

My relationship with Morbius.

Sure, the acting and dialogue is bum, but the story, pacing, etc isn't that bad.

CGI, while not great by any means, does it's job.

I'd give it a solid 6/10 rather than the absolutely abysmall ratings given to it officially.

Other peoples opionions of stuff I enjoy does not effect my enjoyment.

From my first viewing in the theatre in 2013 in Singapore until this very second I really like the first Pacific Rim. It could have been really really bad but in the end it’s a movie with heart and you root for the characters. The CG is exceptional and the Robots and Monsters move extraordinarily well!

The real tragedy is believing a movie you loved is bad just because of what randos think of it.

What was the time travel one that people said was confusing? Because I enjoyed that and thought it was good, just to find out apparently people hated it

Tank girl. I don't care I fucking love the music number and it is quottable

I don't care what others think. If I like it, I like it. Nobody else's opinion is going to matter to me.

Not one mention of Battlefield Earth? Really?

Yes, it's a terrible movie. Nobody watching this (except maybe John Travolta) ever thinks its a good movie. But it is.

You just have to shut your brain off entirely. Johnny alien (travolta) runs around like an English major high on bath salts. Thousand year old military tech works flawlessly. Humans are so dumb they literally cant tell gold ore and solid gold ingots apart. The dumb humans manage to build and deploy a nuclear weapon in 7 days. Its so horrifically, nut crushingly stupid that it swings all the way around to comedy.

For me that movie was Gentlemen Broncos. It's one of my favourite movies of all time. I think it's hilarious, clever and imaginative. I adore the bizarre characters and I love watching all the different interpretations of the sci-fi story the protagonist wrote. Online reviews consider it average at best and the humour juvenile.

Really liked Lucky Number Slevin. I wasn't a fan of Lucy Liu until that movie ... then I looked it up later and was like "oh, thought the RT score on this would have been better ...."

In The Grey. Thought it was a great movie I was engaged the whole time. I check reviews and it is apparently terrible.

There was a Disney TV show back in 1991 called "The 100 lives of Black Jack Savage". My brother and I were super into the show and then it was suddenly canceled. Turns out it's considered one of the worst shows of all time.

Rebel Moon. I watched it on Netflix and was like, welp, so much for Star Wars, they might as well hang it up bc they can't compete with this. So I immediately go online and learn everyone HATES it.

I must be the only one with good taste

I still kinda like Nickelback. I never understood all the hate

I like Super Troopers. It is sometimes just what you need.

That's why I've stopped looking up movies after I watch them. My opinions do not need to be validated.
