    Who the hell doesn't like National Treasure? Sure, it's not the most brilliant and riveting piece of American cinema, but it's a lot of fun, there's nothing wrong with it. Anyone who gives that a bad score is just looking for something to hate.

    What have I learned from this list: critics don’t like fun action movies or movies aimed at children.
    Also, Steven Spielberg changed his feeling about Hook. He rewatched it after Robin Williams passed away, and he said he now sees why audiences like it so much.

      The trick with rotten tomatoes is to just reverse the score - it is a scale of how bad the film is. Works spot on that way. So the last jedi at 91% means the film is 91% crap.

      I wouldn`t even trust the audience score, unless it is tens of thousands of votes. Esepcially popular old movies from before the time of internet critics are getting bad ratings.
      Also, be aware that negative critics can affect how you perceive a movie and can ruin a movie, which you otherwise might have enjoyed if you hadn`t listened to all the negativity. Don`t let others judge a movie for you. Judge them for yourself.

    Critics generally dislike comedy movies. It`s clear that critics think too highly of themselves and have no sense of humour. Comedy isn`t appreciated. They just want more drama.
    A comedy movie with a rating of 50% or 5/10 upwards is usually a great comey.

    I think that this list largely consists of mediocre movies that the writers saw when they were young and less critical. I am an old fart and saw these movies as an adult. I was not impressed, well, except for Spaceballs which satirized the previous decade of space-adventure movies. Jumanji, for example, was pretty scary for a kid's movie and the CGI looked pretty bad even in 1995. Bad special effects are considered "more charming than disruptive" mainly by those who had fond childhood memories of the movie in the first place. i have yet to meet anyone who was an adult when they first watched Space Jam or any Home Alone movie who consider the good movies.

    I never watched Space Jam, but that's because I never wanted to. I never liked Michael Jordan, and that was enough to convince me not to see it.

      I want to add that I never saw Hook either, and had no desire to. This however was because didn't like Peter Pan.

    Comedies, Action and Horror films never win Oscars. And it is almost all I watch. Critics are just drama queens.

    I don't get why we have movie critics anymore, most of them are idiots, and only rate Oscarabate movies well. And with the internet today being available to pretty much everybody, you can get thousands of independent fan/movie goers views withing a few hours of the movie being released.
