The challenge isn't about a movie as much as it's about liking something universally hated. Movies are just more of a mainstream culture than video games are.

You don't see the forest for the trees. The superficial details are different all right, but the underlying psychological mechanism is the same. Generalisation is an important skill, tons of stupid stuff happens when people fail to see analogies between a current situation and exactly the same (albeit with a different coating) having happened in the past.

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!

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

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

The closest I got was "The secret life of Walter Mitty" (2013, with Ben Stiller) at 51%. I liked that movie so much I was genuinely shocked when I discovered its Rotten Tomatoes score.
|
|
|
|
|
The Great Wall, 2017, 36%.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I'm a big fan of Stealth, 13% on Rotten Tomatoes
|

Antitrust (2001) - Movie about a programmer that unveils an evil plan from a larger corporation. I genuinely enjoyed the movie.
Rotten Tomatoes Rating of 24%

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
