I'm 24 so my options are slim for "released during my adult life" but I really like The Greatest Showman and it's got a 57%. Yes, it's wildly inaccurate but dang the music and visuals are great.
My favorite movie of all time is A Goofy Movie from 1995 and just eeked out of the running with a 61%. Seriously, the movie is better than you remember it since you start to empathize with the dad as you grow up. I really recommend it.
Small Soldiers (1998) - got 49% Loved this film when I was a kid and I still do.
I too liked Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, and as someone else mentioned National Treasure and Transcendence.
The Master Of Disguise
The turtle scene is one of the best things I've ever seen.
I liked Transcendence and I thought it my qualify. 19% from critics, 37% from audiences. Wow, it is over qualified.
Anyone say Pixels yet?
I'm not an Adam Sandler fan, the effects folks just did a really fun job and I get a little hit of dopamine seeing retro characters in real life.
The live action Super Mario Bros movie.
I know it doesn't meet the "post 2000's" rule, but I saw it for the first time a couple years ago, so I think it still counts. I don't think it was a very good Mario movie since it took A LOT of creative liberties with the source material (tbf, there wasn't a lot to work with in 1993), but as its own thing, I enjoyed it for what it was. Definitely expected a lot worse when going into it.
Southland Tales
Red Sonja ruled when I watched it not too long ago. Apparently everyone hated it, critics and audiences alike, but I thought it was fun.
Just watched it the other night, 2013 RIPD. It was crazy, out there, pretty funny and just enjoyable to watch. 12% on rotten tomatoes
Yellowbeard (1983) sort of qualifies with 22% tomatometer but 64% audience score.
Critics (and John Cleese) didn't like the movie at all but my friends and I all love it! Hard to dislike a stupid comedy stuffed with an incredible array of comedians; Cheech and Chong, Most of the cast of Monty Python, Peter Boyle and Marty Feldman, Peter Cook, and many other well known comedians of the 1960s and 70s. We still quote lines from the movie!
The Fountain is my favorite movie of all time, and it has a 52% critic score on RT. Audience Score is better-ish though at 77%, so maybe it's just the critics who didn't get it.
I liked Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019).
I thought it was a fun movie and I liked Rey as a character
A 60% on RT says that 6 out of 10 professional reviewers enjoyed this movie. It's not a rating of the movie itself. But my answer is Freddy Got Fingered.
I really like Brother Bear. I read some "rotten" reviews and I genuinely don't understand them; I can't find anything bad mentioned.
