What is a movie that "looks like" it would suck, but actually is well written and acted and a good time?

I’ll start: “Happy Death Day”

    I disagree. This both looked and was awesome.

      As a Trekkie it looked awesome to me but to my civilian friends it looked like made for TV garbage, then they saw it and loved it

      Exactly. It was one of my top three ST movies, and by all accounts. Ebert reviewed it positively, as one of the best of the franchise.

      I wonder why they put it in the “looks like it’d suck” category?

          Well, by including it they imply they liked it, so I’m guessing not a hater. Just curious why they said it “looked like it would be bad”.

            I was assuming they were knee-jerk reacting like “It’s Star Trek, so it must be terrible,” and then found out otherwise. I could be wrong though.
