Whether we’re curious about the newest rom-com or eager to get hot takes on a psychological thriller that’s breaking the internet, we can always count on Rotten Tomatoes to help us figure out what’s really worth watching. In fact, some of the best movies that we’ve seen were due to the site’s thoughtful critic reviews. But while most of these reviewers typically have an eye for great films, there have been quite a few cases where their ratings left us confused.
Unfortunately, some of the most iconic films wound up with surprisingly low scores—and we’re not talking about films that are so bad that they’re good. We’re talking Hocus Pocus, Home Alone 2 and Beaches (yep, we’re just as shocked as you are). Read on for more movies that we absolutely love, regardless of what the critics say.

1. ‘The Last Dragon’ (1985)
Where else can you find a fun, Black musical that features comedy, romance and martial arts sequences? In The Last Dragon, Taimak Guarriello plays Leroy Green, a Black, New York-based martial artist who trains to obtain a powerful force known as "The Glow." His life is turned upside down when he rescues and falls for the famous singer, Laura Charles (Vanity), whom he must protect from the evil gang leader, Sho'nuff (Julius J. Carry III). Does this movie have its corny moments? Absolutely, but that’s part of what makes it so charming.
2. ‘Rush Hour 2’ (2001)

Does this movie have its corny moments? Absolutely, but that’s part of what makes it so charming.
3. ‘The First Wives Club’ (1996)
What do you get when you add a funeral, three fabulous middle-aged women and all of their ex-husbands? A delightful, feminist flick that deserves way more than a 50 percent score. In this fun comedy, Bette Midler, Goldie Hawn and Diane Keaton shine as three divorcées who vow to get back at their exes for taking them for granted. From fancy parties to a lively performance of “You Don't Own Me,” what’s not to love?
4. ‘Space Jam’ (1996)
It may have one of the most ridiculous plots ever, but let’s be honest: Michael Jordan and Looney Toon squad make one heck of a team on the basketball court. In the film, Bugs Bunny enlists the help of Jordan to defeat an evil team of aliens. Despite the mixed reviews from critics, Space Jam wound up earning a whopping $250 million at the box office, making it the highest-grossing basketball film of all time. And now, fans await the highly anticipated sequel, Space Jam: A New Legacy, starring LeBron James. Here’s hoping it lives up to this nostalgic gem.
6. ‘Equilibrium’ (2002)
If you’ve yet to see this entertaining thriller, then think of it as a cross between The Giver and The Matrix. Set in a futuristic world where war is avoided by forcing everyone to suppress their emotions, the movie follows Clerick John Preston (Christian Bale), a government official who suddenly finds himself in a position to overthrow this regime. Given that we now live in the digital age, where people’s behaviors are manipulated and true privacy feels nonexistent, the premise for Equilibrium definitely hits close to home.
