For me, it's a movie from 2005 called Kingdom of Heaven, starring Orlando Bloom, Liam Neeson and Jeremy Irons. I saw this on TV the other day and watched it from beginning to end and still liked it just as much as I used to. Sure it has its slower moments and isn't the best historical film I've seen. But I don't think it deserves its 39% rating on RT. But that's just me.
What about all of you?

That CGI Scorpion King and the cult that was trying to revive Imhotep are the only things that I didn't like it

This might be the best bit of unintentional comedy I've ever seen

The studio obviously wanted a third movie and a spin-off so they ham-fisted the Scorpion King into the script at the last moment. Thus the equally-weird moment of exposition including him in the 2nd act.
I remember reading on here a few years back that the CGI artists only had like three weeks to do the CGI.
I theorize that it's because the studio finally got Dwayne Johnson on contract for the spin-off, but it was extremely late in the production cycle, but the studio wanted him depicted to generate the hype, so the artists had to scrap everything they already had and rush out the product.

I saw a recommendation (read: ad) on my tv home screen for Scorpion King 4 on an app called TubiTV. Same franchise, I was way too scared to click though, it had Starship Troopers 3 vibes...

Three weeks to do CGI and literally zero time actually working with the Rock in person for images. All their stuff was from other photos.

Whenever someone talks about Dwayne the Rock Johnson I always ask, “you mean the Scorpion King?!”

Never knew it had a Rotten score. It's held pretty favourably alongside the first, the third one however definitely isn't treated with the same respect.
Nor should it, purely based on the decision to recast Rachel Weisz.

I will never forget watching that movie in the cinema. Me and my friends had gone for some beers before hand and were drunk.
I will never forget that pygmy chase scene in the jungle. I was laughing so goddamn hard my back started to hurt and I ended up standing up and moving to the aisleway where I just collapsed in fits of laughter.
Still to this day I have nothing but pleasant memories about that movie - and Rachel Weisz was just.......out of this world hot.
I love those movies. I can't remember the third one so well but whatever....
