Post-2000? I'd have to say probably Reign of Fire... or Bad Boys II. All time? The Man in the Iron Mask.

Van Helsing! 24% Critic Score, 57% Audience Score. Even I cringed rewatching it, but it has a special place in my heart. ๐บ
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.
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.
Transcendence 19% I'm a sucker for sci-fi with a cool concept like mind uploading
Green Hornet 44% It's funny and the fight choreography is cool
Green Lantern. I think too many people had the expectation of that Green Lantern powers would be something more serious. They were always cartoonish, and Hal Jordan was always a bit of a dick. Ryan Reynolds was probably not the best choice, he's a bit too pretty for the role, but he had the right attitude. Still overall a fun movie.
Hitman
I just like the action, Timothy Olyphant, and like seeing Olga Kurylenko naked.
The A Team for me. Just scrapes in at 48% rotten tomatoes. Wish they'd made a sequel.
Small Soldiers (1998) - got 49% Loved this film when I was a kid and I still do.
Too many to list, but I take Tomato scores with a grain of salt unless they're unusually low. I don't know if I just have a high tolerance for crappy movies or scores are too intolerant there. I've also seen a good number with high scores I thought should be low. Sometimes they rate movies highly just for being unusual or for having some kind of social message, but that hardly ever means better.
Pain & Gain only has a 50% score but it's arguably Michael Bay's best film in the last decade.
The Cable Guy and BASEketball flopped and are 55% and 41% respectively but those are two of my favorite comedies of all time.
I really like Brother Bear. I read some "rotten" reviews and I genuinely don't understand them; I can't find anything bad mentioned.
Difficult question to answer when you don't use rotten tomatoes, but the ones I've found are Mortal Engines, Fast and Furios, Oblivion (barely)
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.
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.
The Master Of Disguise
The turtle scene is one of the best things I've ever seen.
