This is hard: XKCD challenge

Not difficult at all! Had Sucker Punch immediately at top of my head, and easliy ticked all the boxes!
That was a nice movie with a great soundtrack!

Normally I do, but ... Rotten Tomatoes is the specific site for comparison here, and it doesn't rate games. So any games included wouldn't have the same range of results as the movies. Following your logic, I quite liked the Mercedes A Class series 1 (despite it driving like a roller skate) but it was unpopular with reviewers due to the "moose test". Should that count? When you are given a specific set of limitations you have to keep within, them is the rules and them is what you have to stick to! :laugh:

Replace Rotten Tomatoes with Jim Sterling's "Direct to video" series and it's the same again. Different coating, same shape underneath.

Totally agreed. Love the movie - watched at least three times! And White Rabbit is amazing!

White Rabbit was cool, but Tomorrow Never Knows is my favorite (I even like this version better than that of The Beatles) :D

Yeah love Tomorrow Never Knows as well! You know what, you're right, the whole OST is brilliant.

xkcd: Unpopular Opinions[^] Try it: I can't find anything I liked that got less than 55% (The Dressmaker (2016) - Rotten Tomatoes[^] - and even then it was 66% for the audience!) I figured that "Last cab to Darwin" - a good "thinky" movie - would do it, but ... 89%! Deserved, but annoying score. He's right - hating something popular is a heck of a lot easier than liking something hated by the masses. Got any suggestion, people?

Not sure - it looks like "straight to video" stock and the XKCD doesn't specify. It it a movie if it never saw a cinema? Not sure it is, technically.

I think the qualifier in this case would be "Something everyone hates". If it's unknown, not everyone can hate it. Mine was going to be "Age of the Hobbits". But I liked it because it was so bad. As a matter of fact, it was so bad that it got sued[^] and had to change its name to "Clash of Empires"[^].

Can't beat [Hudson Hawk](www.imdb.com/title/tt0102070) if you're a Bruce Willis fan. 26% (although the audience did give it 57)

Howard the Duck (1986) - Rotten Tomatoes[^]

We rented Howard the Duck back when Blockbuster was still a thing. We quite liked it. It was stupid, sure, but it was low key, gentle and funny. :thumbsup:

_Everyone_ hates this movie but I like it. Oscar (1991) - Rotten Tomatoes[^] Do I win an Official No-Prize? :rolleyes: Oh, I just noticed...post 2000. Oops.
Fantastic film! Classic farce isn't an appreciated genre anymore. "Maybe someday, we can do you."

I almost hate to say I like it. But I do. G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013) - Rotten Tomatoes[^] Not as good as the previous one. But still really good. Liked it alot. Didn't really take me all that long. I usually like crap other people hate.

I have two: The Davinci Code, and Evan Almighty. Loved both of them, 25 and 23 percent, respectively...

For me this one was easy: Cars 2 with 39 %. I can easily see why everyone hates it, but I genuely liked it. Not like it would be my favorite movie, but I like it.

Wow, I didn't think The Da Vinci Code would be that low. I like that one a lot. Evan Almighty, no so much though...

Good choice. Got me thinking about the Transformers franchise. I hate them. They have a decent audience score, but a very low tomatometer. They are the most boring high-action movies imo.

Cinemascore is generally a better barometer for audience grades, since you know the people polled actually saw the film. First example that comes to mind, critics loved Hereditary (as did I) but the Cinemascore grade was a D+. So does that count, since the masses hated it? Or does the film in question also need to be savaged by critics? Freddy Got Fingered seems to have been universally loathed, so if you're like my wife and enjoy that one - you win the grand prize!

The Dirt (38%). I loved it. I also loved Gummo (35%), but it was released in 1997. I was an adult at the time, though.

I dunno, Frozen[^] has a rating of 90%, and I suspect most parents would have voted it considerably lower after the 90th repeat of that damn song ... :laugh:

Right, so find a low-rated kid's movie? Ever?
