The 25 Best Movies With Horrible Reviews

1-25

TV Shows & Movies - January 19th 2026, 16:00 GMT+1
The 5th Wave

25. The 5th Wave

The 5th Wave has a unique concept that combines survival, alien invasion, and teenage romance. With a talented cast bringing energy, this movie offers a fresh take on the sci-fi genre that’s worth a watch. | © Sony Pictures Releasing

Jennifers Body

24. Jennifer's Body

Jennifer's Body is a unique horror that explores the confusion between friendship and love, and desire and fear, all wrapped in a feminist narrative. With a fun storyline and fresh score, this movie proves to be a pitch-perfect blend of horror and comedy that was unfairly criticized on its release. | © 20th Century Studios

Observe and Report

23. Observe and Report

Observe and Report is a niche movie that redefines anti-heroes with a refreshingly different approach thanks to the sharp dialogues and clever plot twists. It may not be for everyone, but if you love movies that perfectly cater to their audience, you'll appreciate its cultish charm. | © Warner Bros. Pictures

Dog Eat Dog

22. Dog Eat Dog

Dog Eat Dog follows three criminals who try to escape their stagnant lives. Although it never quite transcends its familiar storyline and occasionally slips into sloppy territory, the film remains highly entertaining thanks to its dynamic trio and unforgettable opening scene. | © RLJ Entertainment

Person to Person

21. Person to Person

It may take you a minute to get on this movie's wavelength, but Person to Person wins your love with scrappy, messy, and quietly insightful charm. Moreover, the unique charm and combination of humor and heart would only grow on you over time. | © Magnolia Pictures

The Postman

20. The Postman

Despite production values from the '90s, The Postman offers a unique story of hope emerging from unexpected places. It’s a tale where superior ideas triumph over adversity, making it a film people love for many reasons. | © Warner Bros. Pictures

The Great Gatsby

19. The Great Gatsby

Despite some bad reviews, The Great Gatsby is a brilliant adaptation that captures the visual perfection of Fitzgerald's novel. It is impeccably written and contains insightful and interesting themes concerning the American dream and the emptiness of riches. | © Warner Bros. Pictures

Masterminds

18. Masterminds

Masterminds delivers a treasure trove of quotable, hilarious lines, thanks to standout performances from Zach Galifianakis and Kristen Wiig. The movie is perfect to zone out and giggle along with, proving that even a low critic score can't reduce its fun. | © Relativity Media

Venom

17. Venom

Venom is a great movie because it knows exactly what it wants to be. The film perfectly captures the essence of Lethal Protector Venom, the antihero form the character has existed in longest. People who claim it’s a bad Venom movie simply aren’t fans of comics. | © Sony Pictures Releasing

Cropped Star Wars Episode II Attack of the Clones

16. Star Wars: Attack of the Clones

Despite negative reviews, Attack of the Clones is still worth watching at least once. The movie has its special moments, but it very quickly becomes obvious that George Lucas is not good at writing romance. | © 20th Century Studios

Catwoman

15. Catwoman

Catwoman is quite an adorable movie with bad reviews. It's corny and campy, but Halle Berry and Benjamin Bratt deliver undeniably hot performances that elevate the film, so it doesn't deserve such a low Rotten Tomatoes score. | © Warner Bros. Pictures

Season of the Witch

14. Season of the Witch

Season of the Witch feels like a long-lost John Carpenter film, the same crew delivers a killer score, atmospheric visuals, and an intriguing plot about haunted masks that kill children. While not everyone's cup of tea, this movie is worth visiting, at least during the Halloween season. | © Relativity Media

Cabin Boy

13. Cabin Boy

Cabin Boy is favourite horrible movie for many – it's a messy, quirky cult classic filled with brilliantly stupid dialogue that captures unique charm from start to finish. Unforgettable one-liners make it a loveable trainwreck that’s almost shamefully fun to adore. | © Walt Disney Pictures

But Im a Cheerleader

12. But I'm a Cheerleader

But I'm a Cheerleader perfectly captures the funny and satirical niche with its core material, tone, and aesthetics. With standout performances from Lyonne and DuVall and a supporting cast that rises to the challenge, this movie delivers a subversive experience. | © Lionsgate Films

Hudson Hawk

11. Hudson Hawk

Hudson Hawk boasts a solid cast, fresh score, and complete self-awareness of being a parody for the blockbuster genre. For those disenchanted with conventional films, the Mad Magazine-style humour offers a delightfully unconventional viewing experience. | © TriStar Pictures

Hardcore Henry

10. Hardcore Henry

Hardcore Henry is an ambitious experiment in action filmmaking that brings viewers into the relentless, first-person combat experience. While the limited narrative and hyperactive approach leave some frustrated, the overall style is still an innovative achievement in filmmaking. | © Versus Pictures

Cropped Just Go with It

9. Just Go With It

Starring Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston, Nicole Kidman, and Brooklyn Decker, this romantic comedy delivers a unique blend of humor and heart through its quirky concept and memorable moments. Despite the low score on Rotten Tomatoes, this film is a hidden gem that proves critics can sometimes go completely wrong. | © Sony Pictures Releasing

Sucker Punch

8. Sucker Punch

Sucker Punch is a great movie with a dynamic mix of storylines and visually striking settings that hint at a deeper meaning behind the lead’s battle with abuse and loss. The soundtrack and stylish direction make it a uniquely engaging experience that's well worth watching. | © Warner Bros. Pictures

Eyes Wide Shut

7. Eyes Wide Shut

Eyes Wide Shut received negative reviews upon its release because of the slow pace, exploring too complex themes, and explicit content, which left many viewers uncomfortable. However, it received a well-deserved reputation over time, becoming one of Stanley Kubrick's best films. | © Warner Bros. Pictures

Waterworld

6. Waterworld

Disregard the naysayers, this is a big-budget movie and it looks it with a Mad Max-on-water vibe, complete with layered metaphors and a fun storyline. Critics bashed it partly because of the high price, but that's too harsh. | © Universal Pictures

Cropped Death Becomes Her

5. Death Becomes Her

Death Becomes Her is a dark comedy that perfectly balances outrageous goofiness with impeccable CGI, makeup, and a standout cast. The movie has grown into a true gem that charms with its absurdity, visual flair, and brilliantly performed characters like Ernest Menville by Bruce Willis. | © Universal Pictures

Scooby Doo

4. Scooby Doo

Scooby Doo wasn't well-received when it first came out – the once-beloved characters behaved weirdly, made crass statements, and even turned Scrappy into the villain. Ironically, the audience grew enough to appreciate it, especially with Lillard delivering a standout performance as Shaggy. | © Warner Bros. Pictures

Cropped Vanilla Sky

3. Vanilla Sky

Vanilla Sky has a mildly complex plot that was misunderstood by audiences who simply weren't ready for the surreal twists. The layers caused initial dismissal, long before Tom Cruise became known for his couch-jumping performances. | © Paramount Pictures

Xanadu

2. Xanadu

Xanadu is like a wild mashup of Rocky Horror and The Room, featuring hammy acting, bizarre characters, and a series of absurdist dance numbers. Even though every moment is played completely straight, its unintentional goofiness transforms 96 minutes into a cult classic joyride that's impossible not to laugh at. | © Universal Pictures

Cropped The Thing

1. The Thing

The Thing is a chilling sci-fi horror about Antarctic researchers battling a shape-shifting alien with groundbreaking practical effects and a paranoid atmosphere. While the intense gore scares many adult viewers, the inventive storytelling has earned a devoted cult following. | © Universal Pictures

1-25

Some movies get dragged on release and still end up living rent-free in people’s heads for years quoted, rewatched, defended at parties, and rediscovered like a secret handshake. Critics can be right about a lot, but they can also miss the vibe, the audience, or the weird little spark that makes a film endure anyway.

This rundown spotlights great movies with terrible reviews, whether they’ve aged into classics, found cult status, or simply deliver on entertainment in ways the original reception couldn’t see. Call it redemption, call it spite-watching with style either way, the rewatch value speaks louder than the score.
