Prometheus (2012)<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Ridley Scott&#8217;s prequel to <em>Alien<\/em> is infamous for characters making bafflingly poor decisions. However, fans argue that the sheer ambition and visual grandeur make up for the shaky logic.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">2. Waterworld (1995)<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Kevin Costner\u2019s aquatic epic was a legendary box office flop. Decades later, viewers are charmed by the practical sets and the immersive, if ridiculous, world-building.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">3. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003)<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This steampunk action flick is often cited as the movie that retired Sean Connery. While critics tore it apart, many redditors have a soft spot for its unique aesthetic.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">4. Armageddon (1998)<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Michael Bay\u2019s disaster movie treats physics like a suggestion rather than a law. Despite the scientific absurdity, the emotional heavy lifting keeps audiences coming back.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">5. Dune (1984)<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Long before Denis Villeneuve\u2019s adaptation, legendary filmmaker David Lynch took a swing at the sci-fi epic novel. It\u2019s messy and weird, but the practical effects and casting have earned it a cult following.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">6. Hackers (1995)<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This &#8217;90s cyber thriller gets almost everything about computers wrong, but the fashion, the soundtrack, and the vibes are so right that accuracy doesn&#8217;t matter.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">7. Bullet Train (2022)<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Critics point out the plot holes and thin script in this action comedy, but for many viewers, the sheer entertainment value overrides the narrative flaws.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">8. Star Wars: Episode I \u2013 The Phantom Menace (1999)<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The <em>Star Wars<\/em> prequels are often maligned for their dialogue and pacing, but specific high points, such as the score and the villains, keep fans invested.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">9. Daredevil (2003)<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Before the Marvel Cinematic Universe dominated, there was this Ben Affleck superhero vehicle. It\u2019s dated and undeniably cheesy, but it serves as a time capsule of early 2000s cinema.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">10. Mamma Mia! (2008)<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The plot is barely there and the singing is sometimes suspect, but the campy energy and visible enjoyment of the cast make it hard to hate.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">11. Overboard (1987)<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Context is everything. Viewers acknowledge that the premise about a rich woman who falls off a yacht and is struck with amnesia and manipulated into a new life creates some uncomfortable questions today. But the lead actors Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell share a chemistry that saves the film.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">12. Jurassic Park III (2001)<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It is widely considered the weakest of the original trilogy, but for dinosaur enthusiasts, the effects and action sequences still provide plenty of popcorn fun.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Ultimately, film criticism is an intellectual exercise, but liking a movie is an emotional one. Sometimes a film doesn&#8217;t need to make sense or win awards to earn a permanent spot in your rotation \u2014 it just needs to make you feel something unique.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>Do you have a favorite flaw-filled blockbuster?<\/strong> Read the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/movies\/comments\/1qzeuwv\/what_movie_do_you_love_despite_agreeing_with\/?utm_source=syndication&amp;utm_medium=yahoo_news&amp;utm_content=what-movie-do-you-love-despite-agreeing-with-every-single-criticism-of-it\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:full recommendations;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;full recommendations&quot;}\" class=\"link \">full recommendations<\/a> in <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/movies\/?utm_source=syndication&amp;utm_medium=yahoo_news&amp;utm_content=what-movie-do-you-love-despite-agreeing-with-every-single-criticism-of-it\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:r\/movies;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;r\/movies&quot;}\" class=\"link \">r\/movies<\/a>, and find more conversations like this in <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Flicks\/?utm_source=syndication&amp;utm_medium=yahoo_news&amp;utm_content=what-movie-do-you-love-despite-agreeing-with-every-single-criticism-of-it\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:r\/Flicks;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;r\/Flicks&quot;}\" class=\"link \">r\/Flicks<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/TrueFilm\/?utm_source=syndication&amp;utm_medium=yahoo_news&amp;utm_content=what-movie-do-you-love-despite-agreeing-with-every-single-criticism-of-it\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:r\/TrueFilm;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;r\/TrueFilm&quot;}\" class=\"link \">r\/TrueFilm<\/a>, and <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/MovieSuggestions\/?utm_source=syndication&amp;utm_medium=yahoo_news&amp;utm_content=what-movie-do-you-love-despite-agreeing-with-every-single-criticism-of-it\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:r\/MovieSuggestions;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;r\/MovieSuggestions&quot;}\" class=\"link \">r\/MovieSuggestions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><i>This story highlights the perspectives of Reddit users, not Reddit, Inc.
