The main cast were saved by an appliance repairman, and they just watched him pull a motor out of a blender, right before this song.

I'd like to see what you think of it, or at least the air conditioner scene in the beginning.
Padak looks interesting.

I don't think the 2003 Cat in the Hat film was really that bad to me, I remember watching it as a kid at my cousin's house.

I’ve seen a theory that Jack and Jill was supposed to reunite the “Gap Girls”, since both Adam Sandler and David Spade play women in it, but I don’t know how true that is. Unfortunately, since Chris Farley passed away, it wouldn’t be a complete reunion. I don’t know if they were thinking about making the movie in the 90s, because that way the theory would make sense.

I thought that it was okay but not amazing. I mean it was serviceable and the Cat was at least chaotic and unpredictable like he was in the book.He was maybe just a bit too chaotic of that makes any sense. Some of the jokes were a bit funny and at least the writers tried to keep the Cat in character. The Cat in the Hat was certainly better than how Illumination portrayed the Grinch and had handled the Lorax’s story.

Padak is really good, but really dark, defently not for the faint of heart. Funny enough, several actors from Mystic Messanger voice Characters in it.
I've been looking for something new to watch, so prehaps I'll check it out

People said Migration was lame and generic but idc I enjoyed it and the scenery was really pretty

katt is my beloved and NOBODY can take her from me
THIS! I loved Migration.
Also, I loved the FNAF movie which had bad reviews from the critics, but good reviews from most fans
I love Sharkboy and Lavagirl. To me it’s like The Room or Troll 2 if they were kid’s movies. I think it’s so bad it bounces back to being good. The stiff acting, the cheap special effects, and nonsensical story make it so entertaining. I have so much nostalgia for the movie and I’m glad it’s led to the creation of some great memes in recent years.

I don't know if this counts in the strictest sense since the movie was initially hated by the public but has only gained more and more cult classic love, appreciation and recognition over the years, particularly in the past couple decades. But the movie that comes to mind for me is Halloween III: Season of the Witch. Audiences, and some Halloween fans even to this day who expect and only want Michael Myers, were disappointed that the movie had nothing to do with Michael Myers or the two prior Halloween movies at all.
John Carpenter and Debra Hill only made Halloween II because people wanted it so much and Michael, as well as Dr. Loomis, were supposed to have died in the end of Halloween II. John Carpenter wanted to take the Halloween franchise into an anthology direction and make a new movie set around the holiday of Halloween, of which Halloween III: Season of the Witch, was going to be the first of those. John's colleague Tommy Lee Wallace was given the director's chair. Unfortunately, people's expectations doomed the movie in its time. John Carpenter and Debra Hill departed the series and this led to Moustapha Akkad and the studios managing the rest of the Halloween movies with their varying degrees of quality that never really came close to what came before.
I'm someone who doesn't really like media franchises on principle and feel like every installment should either be planned from the beginning, have really good reason to be made, or just have really strong conceptual vision from the people involved (and hopefully those same people are at the helm for all installments). Sure, I'll watch stuff like the Friday the 13th movies, but overarching plot was never the point of those. You can really see how just making sequels for the sake of it affected series like A Nightmare on Elm Street (admittedly I love A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: The Dream Warriors, but that really tied into the first movie and felt justified) when Freddy goes from ruthless nightmare killer to stale joke. I'll grant that there are times when sequels rival or can even arguably overtake the originals even if under different direction, like Aliens to Alien or Terminator 2 to Terminator, but then you can also look at how sequelization for its own sake led to dumb crap later on.
So, from all of the above, you can see that I would have totally been up for a yearly anthology of Halloween-season themed movies that had nothing to do with Michael Myers. He's cool and iconic but I don't need him, you know? Halloween II itself, it's okay, but I think the mystique is even better if you just leave it with the original ending of Halloween when Michael vanished. The original 1979 Halloween didn't need to be continued, and if it never had a direct sequel or franchise tied to it, it would've been all the stronger as a piece of art.
Halloween III: Season of the Witch is something I watch every year on Halloween night, late, after all the trick-or-treating and such is done. I love the weird concept with the masks, I absolutely adore the soundtrack that John Carpenter and Alan Howarth put together for the movie. Those vintage Don Post masks are iconic and that commercial jingle set to the tune of London Bridge is Falling Down is lodged in my brain, as well as the brain of anyone else who watches it. I can see that it might not be everyone's sorta movie, but it's my sorta movie. I recommend checking it out and seeing how you like it when you put your slasher franchise expectations aside.
I'll have to think about what other movies come to mind. This one was just the most prominent, top of mind example that I really resonate with.

I don't know if I'd say it's considered "bad" so much as I see lots of people say it's bad compared to the director's other couple films, but Jordan Peele's Us! I loved Get Out and Nope a ton but Us is probably my favorite of his and I'm always surprised to see how much criticism it gets. more recently I watched Cuckoo and thought it was pretty good but it did not get great audience reviews. others that come to mind are the Smile movies. I wouldn't say I love them, in fact I kinda hate them for how scared they make me, but I feel like the general consensus I've seen is that they're not good horror movies but they are terrifying!!

For me, personally, I just always have a soft spot for Pocahontas. But only the first movie, not the direct-to-video cash grab sequel.
I'm aware about the whole thing about the thing...historically inaccurate this and that and so on and so forth...but when I watch the movie, I'm not thinking about any of that. I'm just watching the story unfold and listening to the songs being sung, admiring the really lovely art style, backgrounds and environments, and still feeling the feels during "Colors of the Wind"
Disney's Dinosaur seems to get a ton of hate too, but that's another movie I really like. I remember watching it as a kid in the early 2000s and just being blown away by the CGI, which I think still holds up to this day. It's nothing too earth-shattering, but it just has that nice 2000s appeal, just like the first Shrek movie and even Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, lol
I will always love Happy Feet

Pocahontas isn’t a bad movie but rather problematic by today’s standards and in the age of being politically correct and aware of cultural appropriation. It’s in a category of movies alongside Gone With the Wind, Song of the South, and Soul Man. None of them are truly awful movies and do have their great moments but the way that they portrayed slavery and the lives of former slaves and in the case of Soul Man, blackface, all three are accused of being offensive when there really isn’t anything so offensive that they deserve to be banned from ever being seen again. Song of the South had a friendship between two boys of different races at a time when segregation was at an all time high and a black man even looking at a white woman would often lead to him being killed.For me, personally, I just always have a soft spot for Pocahontas. But only the first movie, not the direct-to-video cash grab sequel.

Pocahontas does romanticize the true story and takes inspiration from the diaries of John Smith who was deemed to be insane by his fellow Jamestown people and was only proclaimed to be a hero when he returned to England because no one over there had any means of seeing what was really happening over there. Plus it’s Disney which is a company that often turns dark subject matters into saccharine stories with happy endings. Look at Hunchback of Notre Dame and The Little Mermaid as examples of this practice. Even Hercules was given a major overhaul to make it kid friendly and the original Mulan story ends with her killing herself to avoid a marriage that she doesn’t want to be a part of.

I loved Cuckoo, it seemed to be very unpopular but I thought it was really unique.
I watched the first Smile last year on Halloween in preperation for the second one, and I found it pretty creepy at points. But the second one was something else, it was defently another one of my favorite horrors. Plus that sound track. Its not usually my type of music but I ended up adding that whole album to my Playlist lol.

Strange Darling, I don't know if many people know of it. But it's an indie gem in my opinion. It was another semi horror, but more of a thriller. I esspecially loved the sound track.
Another thing that's a huge plus for me in movies, is the sound track, and music/sound in general. Strange Darling was great for that.
I highly recommend it to people who like Cat, and mouse movies. Excellent in my opinion.

Ice Age 4, Frozen (I think Disney milked it, it’s an alright movie but not amazing), Cars 2 (Maybe because I don’t really have much interest in the franchise), My Little Pony: A New Generation, My Little pony: The movie (Both the G1 and G4 films)

Yor: The Hunter From the Future is about a caveman from the future who goes in search of his identity.You know he's from the future because he's the only caveman with blonde hair.During his journey Yor fights big,fake plastic dinosaurs,encounters some evil guys that look like sand mummies and hang glides dangling from a giant cicada.Sounds like a great movie to me.I wonder why it got such bad reviews?

Idk how unpopular of an opinion this is…BUT I like the first Urusei Yatsura movie. I even have it on DVD. Everyone says the second one is the best, but Idk…I enjoyed the story of the first, and the character Elle. (Even if she was a villain lol.)
