Popular movies that got surprisingly bad reviews when they first came out

So I was randomly browsing through rottentomatoes looking up the Home Alone movies, which as we all know are popular cult favorite films. I was shocked at the review scores:

Home Alone only has a 56% rotten, and this is considered one of the funniest and biggest comedies of the 90's:

Home Alone 2, another favorite, only has a whopping abysmal 27% rotten (holy crap):

What the hell? I started to look up some other old favorite movies.

Rush Hour 1 only has a 60% fresh on rotten:

Rush Hour 2 only a 52%:

There were others, but the scores for the Home Alone movies shocked me. They're considered some of the most cult classic favorite comedies of the 90's.
