50 movies that critics really hate but normal people love

It's well-established by now that the opinions of professional film critics don't necessarily reflect what the people actually want.

Many movies that critics have deemed inferior turn out to be fan favorites in spite of - or perhaps because of - the fact that they aren't artfully made. Goofy comedies like "The Replacements," "Without a Paddle," and "Soul Plane," as well as many B-level horror and action films are as adored by fans as they are abhorred by critics.

Metacritic exclusively provided Business Insider with data about which movies since the year 2000 have most divided critics and regular viewers, looking at titles with high user scores but very low critic averages.

"Metacritic averages the review scores form the top critics to generate our Metascores, and we're also very interested in what our users have to say about the movies they see," Metacritic cofounder Marc Doyle told Business Insider. "At times, the professional critics and the regular moviegoers will disagree - and we're in a great position to highlight those differences."
