Underappreciated Fantasy Movies That Were Scorned by Critics

July 1, 2021 by Red Stewart

Marvelous Videos presents fantasy movies at odds with critics…

Sometimes there’s a disconnect between audiences and critics. Most of the time they’re on the same wavelength, but a few flicks every other year tend to produce opposing viewpoints. What one group finds pretentious, exhausting, or banal may be seen as smart, exciting, and enjoyable by others.

The fantasy genre, in particular, has seen the most divide. Now, there’s nothing wrong with that, but it does mean that people who rely on Rotten Tomatoes scores may have put off something that they may have ultimately liked.

Thanks to the folks at Marvelous Videos, we have twelve of these fantasy movies that you may find appealing; check out the video here…
