Two movies come to mind:
Alita Battle Angel (2019) might be the best Anime adaptation to date. It has become one of my favorite movies of all time. I guess it wasn't received badly, it has been barely received at all. This should have been a blockbuster, but most people aren't even aware the movie exists! It's such a shame, I really hope we get the follow up movies, because this one was great!
John Carter (2012) wasn't great, I have to admit. I can't argue with it's 6.6 rating on IMDb. It's a flawed movie, but it is so much fun! It's an epic pulp adventure! If you go in expecting just that, turn off your brain and just enjoy the ride, you will have a great time! People were really too hard on it, when it came out!
+1 to both of these!
John Carter was accused of being too derivative, but hilariously its source material (the book A Princess of Mars) was the great-grandaddy of science fantasy as a genre. So JC is derivative of a bunch of movies that got their ideas and inspiration from APoM.
I loved Alita Battle Angel until the love interest plot. If they would've stripped that entire character from the movie it would be significantly higher up on my movies list.
Haven't watched the movie, but I do know the romance plot was lifted from the manga.
The main issue wasn't the fact that there was a romance, it was the fact that the romantic interest guy sucked. They could've done a romance well but I hated that guy and any time he came on screen.
