Scorpion King.
Dumb fun and i love it.
Also as someone else said already, Equilibrium and Prince of Persia.
Ha ha, Battleship (RT score of 33%/54%AS). Stupid, yes. But any movie with Thunderstruck blasting when the s*** is gonna hit the fan has got me. Again, lots of stupidity in it, but there were other aspects that hit a resonance: "Mick Canales" (Gregory D. Gadson) one-on-one with the alien, the sliding turn and broadside, etc. Great art? Nope. Enjoyed it, and have seen it several times. I find it interesting that certain kinds of "emotional chain-yanking" are deemed socially acceptable, but others are derided.
Difficult question to answer when you don't use rotten tomatoes, but the ones I've found are Mortal Engines, Fast and Furios, Oblivion (barely)
Small Soldiers (1998) - got 49% Loved this film when I was a kid and I still do.
I too liked Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, and as someone else mentioned National Treasure and Transcendence.
The Fountain is my favorite movie of all time, and it has a 52% critic score on RT. Audience Score is better-ish though at 77%, so maybe it's just the critics who didn't get it.
I liked Transcendence and I thought it my qualify. 19% from critics, 37% from audiences. Wow, it is over qualified.
The Master Of Disguise
The turtle scene is one of the best things I've ever seen.
The live action Super Mario Bros movie.
I know it doesn't meet the "post 2000's" rule, but I saw it for the first time a couple years ago, so I think it still counts. I don't think it was a very good Mario movie since it took A LOT of creative liberties with the source material (tbf, there wasn't a lot to work with in 1993), but as its own thing, I enjoyed it for what it was. Definitely expected a lot worse when going into it.
I liked Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019).
I thought it was a fun movie and I liked Rey as a character
Southland Tales
Red Sonja ruled when I watched it not too long ago. Apparently everyone hated it, critics and audiences alike, but I thought it was fun.
Just watched it the other night, 2013 RIPD. It was crazy, out there, pretty funny and just enjoyable to watch. 12% on rotten tomatoes
Anyone say Pixels yet?
I'm not an Adam Sandler fan, the effects folks just did a really fun job and I get a little hit of dopamine seeing retro characters in real life.
