"The Grey" is the first thing to pop into my head.

The stupid meme worthy part is the way wolves are presented as a threat in the movie is so over the top like old childrens folklore level omnipresent coked out superwolves with a 100 mile killing radius stripping the territory all threatening life larger than a squrrel and enough intelligence for tactical strategizing to pick an entire group of men 1 by 1.

The way everything else is executed is what turns it around. The cinematography and the emotional human story of the main character guys motivations and interactions with the res5 of the group is fun. It makes it a good watch to spend an hour or two of your life on. The cast has some bangers and the acting is great.

That movie look like it was made in the 80s and released in the 2000s. It was not my experience it was all that great but maybe I was looking at it wrong

Not sure it fits your criteria, but Sausage Party was a complete surprise for me. I never wanted to watch it because it seemed dumb and purile. And it is, but also somehow it blew my mind and became one of my favourite movies.

It's a funny movie as long as you skip the final scene. It's a funny bit but goes on for FAR too long, Imo.

The 2009 Astro Boy movie was surprisingly decent. Had no expectations and was pleasantly surprised.

And since we are on the subject of Tezuka adaptations that punch way above their first impressions, the 2001 Rintarou version of Metropolis got mixed reviews at the time but kicks all sorts of ass.

Alaska. SW prequels. There's also the Soviet movie "Until first blood", where kids play "Zarnitsa" and learn something.
