Batman v Superman is great, it just doesn't fit the usual super hero movie tropes in my opinion. The ultimate edition is awesome

When i was younger (teen) i watched the cat in the hat w/ mike myres and LOVED it. Wasnt untill years later i found it was rated so bad. Still i guinuinly like it.

I’d like to see lists where both the tomato meter score and audience score are below 60

I Come In Peace / Dark Angel (1990) - campy sci-fi action with a really interesting premise.

I watched it as a kid on VHS in the early nineties, then spent 20 something years trying to remember its name.

For people with Letterboxd I found some lists where it's easier to compare with your watched movies (by hovering):

Now personally I've watched very few of the movies in those lists and almost all of those I've given very bad scores or have abstained to. The best one was 3/5 for Star Wars Episode I, which I though was fine.

Apollo 18. It just has the atmosphere, sense of isolaton and impending doom.

Also Life which is thematically similar, but higher production value.

And in the same vein, Europa Report, though it has critic score of 80. One of the best hard sci-fi films ever.

Almost forgot Pandorum—that one was decent, too.

As was Prometheus (I know biologists and geologists IRL, studied biology myself—the films depiction of these folks is spot on!).

The little mermaid: Return to the sea

Rated 45% https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_little_mermaid_2_return_to_the_sea

I like it because there's not many movies that just concentrate on swimming around in the ocean. I genuinely like it when I'm sick or background noise.

Bunraku, and despite the title it's an english movie with Woody Harrelson and Ron Perlman. Its setting stands out the most as it's made as a giant paper popup book with a sin city ambiance sprinkled with some cartoony humor.

Although the movie tone is pretty serious ala Sin City, it's not a serious movie at all. And I believe a lot of dont-take-it-so-serious movies got unjustly canned a lot in '00s & '10s by critics. I'm glad to see that's changing a bit over last few years.
