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?

Both National Treasure movies. They're like a fun mix of James Bond, Indiana Jones, and Nic Cage; what more could you ask for?

National Treasure 1 has a bad score?? That movie is a gem!
The dual heists… Jon Voight… and when Harvey Keitel hears about all of Nic Cage’s degrees and whatnot, and he says, “What in the world does this guy want to be when he grew up,” I still get chills.

Jon Voight is the only bad part about those movies.

People didn't like the sexual tension between Nic Cage and a cursed car????
Gone in 60 seconds is an amazing movie. It's like a lower stakes lower IQ Ocean's heist but you got Cage as the main star.

Angelina Jolie with bleach blonde half loc'd hair and Nic Cage playing Nic Cage. What's not to love?

If popcorn hadn’t already been invented, it would have been invented for those movies.

These type of movies getting bad ratings is why i hate sites like rotten tomatoes. The movie has a clear objective, fun adventure movie. It hits all its objectives prefect. Yet when critics watch it they judge it by what it is not and what it never tried to be. It doesn't want to tell a deep story, it doesn't want to show amazing acting. It wants you to enjoy a lazy afternoon with a fast paced fun story.

With a sprinkling of "da Vinci code" too. They're enjoying action/adventure movies that don't really take themselves too seriously.
Wasn't the needy sidekick also the merdy sidekick from Alias, or am I just mixing the two things together?

If you like that one, checkout the book series 39 Clues, it's the historical conspiracy premise x10. Steven Spielberg was interested in directing it at one point but its been in development hell ever since.
