The live action Super Mario Bros movie.
I know it doesn't meet the "post 2000's" rule, but I saw it for the first time a couple years ago, so I think it still counts. I don't think it was a very good Mario movie since it took A LOT of creative liberties with the source material (tbf, there wasn't a lot to work with in 1993), but as its own thing, I enjoyed it for what it was. Definitely expected a lot worse when going into it.
Too many to list, but I take Tomato scores with a grain of salt unless they're unusually low. I don't know if I just have a high tolerance for crappy movies or scores are too intolerant there. I've also seen a good number with high scores I thought should be low. Sometimes they rate movies highly just for being unusual or for having some kind of social message, but that hardly ever means better.
Transcendence 19% I'm a sucker for sci-fi with a cool concept like mind uploading
Green Hornet 44% It's funny and the fight choreography is cool
I'm 24 so my options are slim for "released during my adult life" but I really like The Greatest Showman and it's got a 57%. Yes, it's wildly inaccurate but dang the music and visuals are great.
My favorite movie of all time is A Goofy Movie from 1995 and just eeked out of the running with a 61%. Seriously, the movie is better than you remember it since you start to empathize with the dad as you grow up. I really recommend it.
I really like Brother Bear. I read some "rotten" reviews and I genuinely don't understand them; I can't find anything bad mentioned.
Hitman
I just like the action, Timothy Olyphant, and like seeing Olga Kurylenko naked.
Scorpion King.
Dumb fun and i love it.
Also as someone else said already, Equilibrium and Prince of Persia.
Small Soldiers (1998) - got 49% Loved this film when I was a kid and I still do.
The highest upvote comments really didn't understand the assignment.
Hexed, a 1993 comedy starring Arye Gross.
9% Rottentomatoes, 36% Audience.
It's really, really dumb. I recently rented and rewatched it with my wife, who had never seen it and enjoyed it.
The lead character works in a hotel and is a serial liar / conman who meets up with the supermodel he keeps insisting is his girlfriend.
Anyone say Pixels yet?
I'm not an Adam Sandler fan, the effects folks just did a really fun job and I get a little hit of dopamine seeing retro characters in real life.
