What Critically Bashed Films Do You Like?
Was Batman Returns critically bashed? I'm not really doubting, I just can't remember it getting a drubbing.

I can remember that many critics were disturbed by the intro of both (especially) Penguin (chomping on bleeding "meat") and Catwoman being an incredible victim. Needless to say, I thought both scenes were great in that they were "anti-commerical" and established both characters quickly.

Dante's Peak (1997)
It has James Bond and John Connor's mum running away from an expldoing mountain, what's not to love?
Well according to the 29% score on Rotten Tomatoes, apparently quite a lot... but I love it. I love the corny love story, the cliched characters, the action set pieces etc. However, top trumps must go to the films' incredible special effects which I think still look incredibly realistic today.

Cry Wolf had a big impact on my early budding-of-the-film-world days, so I'll always enjoy that one

I can name several Disney movies that got bashed lately that I thought were rather good animated films with good stories. The Emperor's New Groove with David Spade tops my list. This film had a great story and had a lot of sarcastic humor that only David Spade can do so well.

If this was indeed critically bashed, that's unfortunate. Fascinating film.
Well it was on alot of Worst of the year lists that year so I'd consider it bashed. I actually thought I was the only person in the world who liked it. I actually prefer it to Donnie Darko.
