This is hard: XKCD challenge

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?

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...

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.
To err is human to really mess up you need a computer
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?

K-Pax (2001) 41/75 on Rotten Tomatoes. It was a cute story, with an edge, as I remember. I enjoyed watching Bridges and Spacey. I might watch it again.

Too bad it has to be after 2000 - one of my all-time favorites (watched it again last year and it still holds up) is Rad - 0% on Rotten Tomatoes with 5 critics reviews.

_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.
What?! I love that movie! "Fenuccis, sit!"

The first two I thought of were: 22%: Stigmata (1999) - Rotten Tomatoes[^] (Which unfortunately was 1999, so just missed the criteria) and 35% : The Matrix Revolutions (2003) - Rotten Tomatoes[^] I remember it was the cool opinion to hate Matrix 3, but I remember coming out of the cinema being blown away and exhilarated. I wasn't looking to catch the movie out so I could be cool, I just enjoyed it.
