What are some movies that you genuinely enjoy (not guilty pleasures) that are rated below 50 on Metacritic or Rotten Tomatoes?
Some of mine are Punisher: War Zone, Thirteen Ghosts and Your Highness.

I second Thirteen Ghosts, although it is a guilty pleasure.
I genuinely enjoy most of the Saw movies and none of them have a higher score than 50 on RT (not even the original!).

Vanilla Sky has 45 on Metacritic and 42% on RT. I'm a huge fan though.

Thirteen Ghosts was such a crazy movie!!! I love how it just went all out with craziness. Sooo much better than the original 13 Ghosts.

Anaconda has a 37. Jon Voight deserved an Oscar for his performance.
Sahara (2005) has a 41 yet I found it better than the book.

I am not sure about those sites but as far as IMDb goes there are only a small amount of movies with a 6.4/10 or less average score I give a 7/10 or higher, which are...
-Good Kill (2014-2015) - 6.4/10 average -The Lone Ranger (2013) -Twister (1996)
-Young Adult (2011) - 6.3/10 average -The American (2010) -Terminator 3 (2003)
-Dom Hemingway (2013-2014) - 6.2/10 average -London Boulevard (2010)
-A Man Apart (2003) - 6.1/10 average -S1m0ne (2002)
-Days of Thunder (1990) - 6.0/10 average
-Drive Angry (2011) - 5.4/10 average
------------------------------------------------------------------------
or another way of putting it, in terms of the lowest rated movie on IMDb I give the following scores...
10/10 = Lord of War (2005) - 7.6/10 average 9/10 = The American (2010) - 6.3/10 average 8/10 = S1m0ne (2002)/A Man Apart (2003) - 6.1/10 average 7.5-8/10 = Young Adult (2011) - 6.3/10 average 7/10 = Drive Angry (2011) - 5.4/10 average
There is no difference as you either enjoy a movie or your don't in a very basic sense. so "guilty pleasure" or not, it won't matter.
I always rate movies based on how much I enjoy watching them as rating any other way makes no sense since it's not a honest score.

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou… mediocre reviews. My #8 all time fav movie. Wes Anderson's the man. Life Aquatic, Fantastic Mr. Fox and Rushmore are my favorites by him.

To be fair, most credible reviews of Life Aquatic usually offer their admittance that it will impress & entertain those who's lane it really suits. Like me. I've never read a harsh review about it, & frankly I see critics sneaking it back into hindsight praise when discussing Wes' newer stuff. It also seems to find more fans as more time passes. I could go on... vibrant characters, dialogue, locales, visuals, score, Bowie sung in Portuguese, levity & nuanced emotions alike, with one of the finer finale payoffs. It's my #8 all time. 4-5yrs ago it was in my 30's. It's aged ridiculously well.

Early favorite from Wes Anderson.

Some of mine are Punisher: War Zone, Thirteen Ghosts and Your Highness. I loved the movie "Thir13en Ghosts" (2001) and was lucky enough to watch it in theaters, twice. It just had a pace to it that kept you highly entertained. I got to watch "Punisher: War Zone" (2008) but not until years after it was released. I was pleasantly surprised. And I still haven't been able to watch "Your Highness" (2011), I keep passing on it for some reason. Take it as you will, but these are some of my favorite movies below, with a rating mostly lower than 50% on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic with IMDB ratings included. In order by genre, movie title; alphabetically. Hope it helps one movie fan to another.
