As we all know some movies, even if we may consider good or nice, they get negative reception for whatever reason. It may have been happened to you, i think. I got this question since i visited wikipedia, looked for articles about movies and read informations about the reception.

Well, since my favorite kind of movie is fantasy and animation (especially animation, since i attend a school where i learn the basics of it)...

An early movie i liked but got a crappy reception was Planet 51: the movie talks about a human going in a planet he believed uninhabited, he's considered as a dangeroud extraterrestrial. Someone considered this movie as E.T. reverse.
"Rotten Tomatoes" is a website who gave a bad review of Planet 51, many of the reviewers considered it as "unfunny and silly", but after i watched this movie, it didn't give a bad impression at all. Certanely is not the most original movie, not the best animation, but i was pretty satisfied, no matter what "Rotten Tomatoes" says.

Another one was Hook, an old movie based on Peter Pan. Yes, not the best movie i have ever seen, but it got really bad reviews and low rankings.

I actually think what makes a movie really bad is putting random nonsense like in Home Alone 3 (imo even 1 and 2), which doesn't inspirate anything at all to me. Another thing that makes a movie bad is poor quality of scenography or, in the case of animation, yes, the animation itself. Just give a look to Video Brinquedo.
Another thing that makes a movie bad is... the element: if in Tom & Jerry: the movie, the duo would have been replaced with other characters, i think it would have been better. Though, those are only my opinions.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Critics hated it, I loved it. Sure, its full of plot holes, cheesy dialog, and crude jokes. But its Tranformers! You put up with that stuff to see Optimus and Megatron duke it out. Imax was a big win for this movie. I saw it on a true Imax screen (not the cheap imitations at normal theaters) and it was amazing. 30' tall Optimus Prime only 10' away from you: Incredible!

Even more recently, I saw Knight and Day. It didn't do so well in the box office, but it seems to be about 50/50 with the critics. Some like it, some don't. I enjoyed it, not much more to it.

IIRC, another movie that didn't do all the well with critics was The Fifth Element. I love this movie and will watch it any time its on. Its just a fun movie, how can you not enjoy it?

Manos, the Hands of Fate

Hell, I'll have to watch the MST3k version of it to get through it, but the general plot is in fact interesting. Maybe it could've been a good movie if there were only better actors, writing, editing, and everything else.

Big lipped alligator moments with the couple getting busted making out does not count.
