Bankok dangerous
The live action Transformers movies. ALL OF THEM.
Shit blew my mind when the first one came out. Weird faces and all. I cannot get enough of these robots beating the tar out of each other and sometimes committing war crimes.
Dark of the Moon in the third act is still one of my favorite pieces of cinema.
Reminiscence - gotta admit the story kinda fell on flat note, especially with all the potentials in their world building, but I think it's a work of art
Ad Astra - yes, it's like Apocalypse Now (i.e. Into The Heart of Darkness) with a zest of daddy issue, but visually, they got some absolutely magnificent cinematography
I'm uncertain of what the ratings are in general, but there's probably some horror movie I love that's been dragged.
Maybe Insidious? Paranormal Activity 2? As Above, So Below? The Cleansing Hour?
One of those probably has a shit score somewhere lol.
EDIT because I realized how lazy I was being:
Insidious has a 66% on rotten tomatoes Paranormal Activity 2 has a 57% As Above, So Below has a 29% The Cleansing Hour has a shocking 73%
So my answer is As Above, So Below. Lol But I'm startled about The Cleansing Hour having such a high rating
As above, so below having 29% seems a bit crazy. That shit freaked me out.

- Michael Mans 'Miami Vice' 2006. Absolute shit rating is probably to hard, but the reviews back then were underwhelming (I remember 'style over substance' as a quote)
- The original XXX with Vin Diesel. It feels that nobody got the joke, that it is a parody of the James Bond movies, although a James Bond look alike literally gets killed within the first scenes of the movie...
Stay
Massively underrated film imo.
Convoy. Old trucks, Kris Kristofferson, bad acting big explosions and beautiful women. And that soundtrack, chef’s kiss 👌

There are a ton of comedies where the critic ratings are low but the audience is high.
Grandma's Boy 15 critic 85 audience was the one that is at the top of my head. Hot damn that is a spread, and I am with the audience.
