Fans online have been sharing movies that they enjoyed, but critics didn't - and some of them have a great argument for why they should be appreciated more.Â
For this list, we're considering anything below 50% on Rotten Tomatoes to be considered "panned" by critics. Vote up the movies you think should've gotten a better rating!
The character arcs in Hook are so complex and satisfying... it's really what makes the movie so watchable after decades.
Rufio's story really shed light on the plight of the Lost Boys. Being a child forever, in an endless summer, might be ideal on the surface, but the boys are still orphans. Toodles is the most cognizant and grounded person in the entire film, but he's dismissed as crazy by everyone in proximity.
The complexity of Hook as a villian is staggering; he sees a defeated Pan, and realizes that without his greatest contemporary, his life is without meaning.
Great pacing, great costume design, great special effects, great humor, great performances... it's really hard for me to understand how anyone couldn't like this movie.
I'll die on the hill that this is one of the best video game adaptations we've had.
The dynamic between Dastan and Tamina is near identical to the evolving dynamic between The Prince and Farah in the game. Gyllenhaal and Arterton also have bunches of chemistry.
Ben Kingsley embodies the slimy side of the King's brother as well as presenting the noble facade when needed.
The lore of the game is largely well-respected and the powers of the dagger at the center of the conflict is handled in a visually appealing fashion.
The sheer scale of the visuals is pretty impressive and I'm a sucker for The Rock. It's not usually my style of movie, but I find myself putting it on while working. It's a decent disaster flick, and has some great cheese that works.
