Prometheus. I don't care how stupid the plot is, and how many holes it has. Its aesthetics are (for the most part) excellent in a way that tickles my brain. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like it as much the second time though (especially since I saw it in a theater)
Going to give an old example and a new example.
I remember liking the Aeon Flux movie. Don't remember too much about it, but I remember enjoying it, and favorably comparing it to Ultraviolet which came out around the same time. Recently I heard someone bring it up in a podcast as a terrible movie and it turns out it's pretty universally panned lol.
A more recent example is The Watchers. I thought it was pretty good and kept my interest the whole time, but seems pretty middling from reviews. A lot of people especially didn't like the ending, which I guess was kind of sudden, but still alright imo. Not noteworthy in being especially bad or anything.
Aeon Flux movie would have been fine as a normal action movie. It was a terrible Aeon Flux movie.
Basically any movie-adaptation of a book. I know I'm in the minority on this, but if I wanted the story of the book, I'd be reading the book, not watching a movie that's often merely based on it. A new spin on an existing tale is the best of both worlds imo.
My case was with The Witcher's Polish TV show. I was entertained and aware that, being a TV show from 2002, budget would've been slim, so I didn't mind the "low quality" effects. I also watched with subs, so I couldn't tell if some of vocal acting was good, bad or terrible
I like comedies, dumb action movies and horror. So it's almost everything, just like the person in the meme. lol
Alien Romulus. Me and my friends fucking loved that movie and were blown away so we were surprised to see how many people hated it
Three O'Clock High is an all-time favorite. It's like somebody set out to make THE stereotypical eighties movie. Budget Matthew Broderick? Check! Bratty little sister? Yes, sir! Nerdy best friend? We got you! And don't get me started on how fantastic Buddy Revelle is. I feel like it's got way better cinematography than it should, and the acting seems surprisingly good to me.
