Weird, I can't seem to find Super Mario Brothers on here. Is it because it's really bad? If so, then I pick that.

Above 60% on the Tomatometer is "fresh". I'd hardly say these two have "very low" ratings.

Surprised that Spaceballs is only at 53%; it's one of my favorite Mel Brooks movies. I didn't check, but maybe there just aren't many reviews up for it.

Corky Romano is 5%, but I barely even like that. NATR is great though. Also Ladies Man is 11%. They really hate SNL movies.

I don't think it's THAT bad, but I really think this is a highly overrated movie, and critics never really liked it.

Because it's bad. V. bad.

Also the only people that like it don't review moving for a living.

I can't believe Spaceballs is rated so low. I'm going to have to slap some fools.

Because it's a terrible, hacky movie that only people with bad cinematic tastes enjoy. Hence it's enormous "cult" following.

I don't think the directors and producers of Boondock Saints intended for it to be a popcorn movie. I love good popcorn movies. This one just happened to be utter [censored].

i dont think the producers thought they were crafting the next godfather. nobody is talking about what the producers wanted anyways. you said people that like it have bad cinematic taste. this is wrong. most people like it because its a "good waste of time" and a fun action packed, joke filled movie. aka a popcorn movie.

QFT, it was entertaining. Not every movie has to be profound and moving to be enjoyable.

I disagree with pretty much that whole paragraph. Everyone I've ever met who's seen this movie talks about it like it's the best [censored] movie on earth. So a friend and I rented it a few years ago and watched it. We both wanted to murder everyone who ever recommended it. Every aspect of this movie was terrible.

Come on, this is such a nit complaint. If you didn't like it you didn't like it. Be more discerning in who you take movie recommendations from if this is such a hot-button issue for you.

Ok, but I hope you realize that the sample of "people you know who say it's the greatest movie on earth" is probably not representative, right? This claim just seems absurd to me.

People describe this movie using words like "awesome" and "badass" and "cool". It's not as if people that like this movie go around talking about the excellent camera angles, the masterful screenplay, and the superb acting.

Fair enough. In my opinion, though, people who have good taste in movies hate this one.

I have no idea if it's representative. I never took a poll. It's just something that I've encountered. You've never had a lot of people tell you how great a movie is, then you see it and it's beyond terrible?

Sure I have, but I don't assume that anyone who likes it think it is the gold standard for cinema. I just think you're being too harsh on it. Lots of movies are mediocre / low content / etc but still entertaining in some circumstances, I think Boondock Saints is one of them. I like everything from "Waking Life" to "Resident Evil" though so my pre-watch range is higher than usual.
