Movies that get disrespected but were gold in your home aka the Meteor Man thread
- Thread starter Lucini

All these movies I loved as a kid are still good with me especially Blank Man & Meteor Man
I was just talking to a friend about how TMNT 2: Secret of the Oozo climaxes with a rap song & dance instead of a big dramatic fight.
I think it's weak narratively for your karate action movie to suddenly end in song and dance but I honestly wouldn't change it for the world.
It is pretty lame that the Shredder takes himself out but the "I love being a turtle" line right after that makes it work.
I never really cared that the turtles don't use their weapons, "Secret of the Oozo" is still my shit.

Ahhh this is easy: The Golden Child.
Our copy was an edited version from TV so I was surprised years later when I rewatched it with all the profanity intact.
PS: Iiiiiiii waaaaaant the kniiiiiiiiife.
Pleaaaaaaase.

the Steve Martin Parenthood movie. Even though it leans heavy on the drama more than a comedy, I loved it as a kid. You also get some lovely young Keanu Reeves in all his glory
I also loved this movie as a kid

Another Eddie Murphy classic! My 4yo son loves the ride and loves this movie. I've probably seen it a dozen times now. I think it would have been better received if it wasn't compared against the Pirates of the Caribbean movie
I can't speak for Mystery Men, but I thought Galaxy Quest gets talked about in a positive light every time it's brought up. Outside of critics, I don't think I've seen people talk shit about Galaxy Quest.
If we're going by critics shitting on it though, Scott Pilgrim is the most obvious answer. That movie is mostly universally loved outside of critics though.
Yeah wtf? Everyone loved that movie as a kid
Rufio & the imaginary food fight was beloved
The Shadow
I feel like this movie was intentionally campy but, it also sort of filled that Tim Burton dark atmospheric style comic book blockbuster.

A lot of 90s schlock, like Double Dragon and Street Fighter. Waterworld was another one I really enjoyed.
Oh, and Ready to Rumble. Still a guilty pleasure of mine.

Remember loving this movie as a kid. I was surprised to learn that it was panned by critics and audience alike. Even as an adult I can appreciate the unique visuals and frankly ridiculous plot. Sure, it may not be a masterpiece in writing, but as a movie for kids I thought they nailed it pretty well.
Hudson Hawk with Bruce Willis. Grew up watching that film with my family. It gets a lot of shit, but it's a silly fun movie.

I loved Meteor Man as a kid. I saw it again a few years ago and still really enjoyed it. As for Hook, I really struggle to see how people couldn't like it. It's one of my favorite Spielberg movies.
For my friend and I it was Waterworld, we loved that movie and watched it repeatedly with zero shame.

Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, and Waterboy were all universally despised by the useless professional movie reviewers but are three high water marks of western cinema.
3 Ninjas was never far from the VHS player. The first Mortal Kombat I rented a ton--I also on more than one occasion rented a crappy animated CG Mortal Kombat movie thinking it was the Live Action movie. I was pissed and surprised every time I got home lol.
I have fond memories of this movie from childhood, and ended up watching it for the first time in years a few weeks ago. What a bizarre movie. Still more entertaining than the original American Tail though.
In my house, Ready to Rumble, Major Payne, and Euro Trip were faves. I still really enjoy all three despite some of the jokes having aged very poorly. Still quote some scenes regularly.
Absolutely loved this growing up. Was surprised when I found it out reception wasn't very good lol
It's been a long time since I've seen this but I always remember having my mind blown when Macauly Culkin looks up in the library and there's that huge mural on the roof. Looked so cool as a kid.
