2 movies immediately come to mind, and I think it's because I went in with an expectation that the movie is gonna suck.

  1. Pacific Rim
  2. District 9

It's probably been 10 years since I watched either of those movies so I'm not sure how they have aged...

District 9 was very good! I think that was my first bluray.

Yeah. Pacific Rim was a breath of fresh air just to be getting a Yaeger/Kaiju movie at all. Then to watch it and discover it was made by a true fan of the genre, just fantastic.

I knew I was going to love Pacific Rim (giant robots and monsters? Sign me up) but I didnt expect the horror element of it and exactly how menacing each kaiju would be. I can easily rewatch it many times.

To the original question, from recent memory a film that surprised me was Dungeons and Dragons Honor among Thieves. The IP didnt have a great track record in film, but this one was entertaining, funny, heartwarming, and highly recommended.
