10,000 BC. Pretty sure it got a raspberry or whatever for being the worst movie.
I dont know why people think it needs to be historically accurate or believe, its an adventure movie.
Such a fun adventure.

There is an often panned movie starring Robin Williams called Club Paradise. It's not a good movie but it's a fantastic feature length SNL skit.
Oh, man, where to start. I mean, the Kelvin Trek movies are definitely not the best Trek, but I do enjoy all of them. But speaking of contrarian appreciation, I think most of Star Trek Discovery is also pretty solid, barring perhaps the very last season.
I'm partial to Lynch's Dune, too. Maybe I just got used to it over time?
In the least hip stance possible, I actually think there are very few bad Marvel movies and most are worth at least a cheerful watch (not you, Doctor Strange 2, you suck).

Alien Covenant.
People talk about the characters being unrealistic, I think they're just different to movie characters and normal humans.
I really enjoyed the film.

This year I genuinely enjoyed Megalopolis. It looks great and it's thoughtful. People won't "get it" for probably 10 years.
There is nothing to get. It is even more basic than philosophy 101, yet it thinks it is some sort of insightful writing. It is cringe and embarrassing, kinda like a 15yo who just read a reddit post on /r/philosophy and then got high and wrote a movie script.
I do think it is a "so bad, it is actually good" kind of movie. It is almost like a sarcastic movie, making fun of pretentious movies. Maybe this will become the narrative in the future, especially once Coppola is dead.
It will become a cult classic, but not for the reasons Coppola wants.

I honestly thought Morbius was a breath of fresh air for ditching the "Self-aware, meta, woke!" trends that MCU was chasing and just told a dark transhumanist story with super heroish themes.
Like I'd rather watch Morbius again than most of the MCU films made Post-End Game.
And Warcraft really wasn't a bad movie at all, it was just bitten by the "Anything that is in the Fantasy Genre is automatically a LOTR ripoff!" bug that had been going around for awhile.
If it had came out around the time when audiences stopped caring about what critics think (Sonic's 2020 film seems to be where that started), it would have done a lot better (Sonic leading the way for video game movies being taken seriously also would have helped)...
Hell if Warcraft (2016) had come out in 2020, that would have been after Blizzard's fall from grace ("Don't you guys have phones? No? Time to shit all over the WoW lore and ruin Overwatch then!"), meaning that people would probably
Finally, I'm still firmly in the camp that in 10 years people will come around on the sequels like they did for the prequels (Last Jedi might still be considered the "Not as good" one admittedly). I can't say the same about the various "Franchise fatigue? What's that?" shows that Disney ~~kept~~ keeps greenlighting though.
"Alcolyte was a good show, but no one saw it? Damn, time to release Skeleton Crew I guess!"
Man, I'm so sad about the warcraft movie.. partly because I agree with you and I think it was pretty good and it deserved sequels but also partly because it feels like it could've been better? Felt a bit hard to follow at times, and I remember reading some of Duncan Jones' tweets that implied the final cut wasn't his decision and that there was quite a bit of footage left out. Shame... They should try a tv series.
