**The Room** has a 35% critics rating which is ridiculous (20% too high). It must not be rated as a movie, but as a conversation piece. ---

I thought mine would be _Eyes Wide Shut_, but I see it has a Tomatometer reading of 74%. I think this is a movie with a far better critic score than Internet score. I enjoyed _Green Hornet_ (2011), though it is not going to win any awards. It is rated at 43%. \*Jennifer’s Body \*at 42%. \*Ginger Snaps \*has a rating of 89%! I am not having good luck what guessing will have a low Tomatometer reading. \*Southland Tales \*has a rating of 36%. On a scale of 1 to 100, I would personally rate this movie as **yellow** , or possible **the scent of compost**. ---

I don’t follow movies on Rotten Tomatoes, so not sure if they got good scores or bad, but a lot of my friends and co-workers disliked both Hancock and Battle for LA, and I enjoyed both movies. ---

> [@Biggirl](#): > > The lowest rated movie I could think of is [Hudson Hawk at 24%](http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/hudson_hawk/), which I remember as a funny, smart musical comedy that everybody made fun of. All other movies that I thought would rank low didn’t. The second runner up was Tank Girl, which I admit was dumb but I have a soft spot for girl action heroes. Which brought me to The Long Kiss Goodnight, which I was sure would score way low as girl action heroes don’t do well in the box office. But that got a 67% critic and 71% audience. Go girl asskickers! > > As has already been mentioned, is there a way to see a list of lowest rated movies or is guessing which movie you like at looking it up the only way to do this? I liked Hudson Hawk as well, so I guess that is probably the lowest score of a movie I liked. ---

XT, go to the Internet Movie Database. Enter the movie you want the score for. Click on External Reviews. Click on Rotten Tomatoes. This will give you the score. ---

Equilibrium is at 38%. I like it, while simultaneously recognizing that it’s trash. ---

I don’t know if it’s the lowest, but I like _Xanadu_, with a 39% rating. ---

> [@Knorf](#): > > _Star Trek: the Motion Picture_ is not obscure. 33 reviews is not “a few.” > “Let’s try” is a rule? This is a contest? > > ETA: a lot of older movies do not have 50 or more counted reviews. I know. I was just trying to establish a base level of reviews to have. I know Star Trek and Oscar are not obscure; we just don’t have an adequate sampling of their reviews. Sorry. I almost feel a hostility from you about it. I just wanted to point out a level of reviews to count. ---

In some ways this is a bit circular, since (especially in the last several years) I tend not to go out of my way to see movies with exceptionally low RT scores. I’ll see a lot of them on TV five years down the road, but even then I won’t be paying 100% attention. My wife does have a thing for Bad Jason Statham Movies, and there are a couple in the ~40% range that I’d describe as “eminently watchable” - Parker, Homefront, etc. I tried the IMDB Advanced Search thing too, and mostly it just reminded me that there are a _lot_ of bad movies out there, even if you’re limiting it to films that get released in theaters. ---

> [@Wendell\_Wagner](#): > > XT, go to the Internet Movie Database. Enter the movie you want the score for. Click on External Reviews. Click on Rotten Tomatoes. This will give you the score. Ok. Hancock got a 42% which I assume is bad. Battle for Los Angeles got a 35%, so presumably that’s worse. 😛 ---

I thought **The Number 23** was okay: 8% Critics, 56% Audience. And I REALLY liked **Aeon Flux** : 10% Critics, 39% Audience. I don’t know why that one got shit on so badly. Not quite as critically un-acclaimed, but **The Thirteenth Floor** is one of my favorites: 29% Critics, 64% Audience. But it looks like the one that takes the cake is **Movie 43** : 4% Critics, 24% Audience. I would never argue it being a good film (it’s just a series of skits), but it was so bizarre that I found it hilarious. ---

Harlem Nights gets a 21% rating which I think is shameful for all the comedic talent piled into that movie. It’s funny the whole way through and I’ve been a fan since long before I could even understand half the jokes. ---

I’ve always thought **Little Nicky** was enjoyable and occasionally clever. Rotten Tomatoes disagrees to the tune of 22%. ---

> [@SCAdian](#): > > _Oscar_ (Sylvester Stallone), at 13% (though with a 62% audience score), is the lowest I’ve found so far. My wife and I both love it - I think it’s one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen. I’m going to declare Oscar my choice. Panned when it came out, I got to see it on TV and thought it was really funny. ---

The first movie that came to mind, was Toy Story. Rotten Tomatoes scored Toy Story & Toy Story 2 at 100%, Toy Story 3 at 99% & Toy Story of terror at 92%. Toy Story 3 was better than 1 & 2…it should get a 150% at best.🙂 ---
