Inspired by the linked XKCD. Using 60% instead of 50% because that’s an easy filter to apply on rottentomatoes.
I’ll go first: I think “Sherlock Holmes: A game of Shadows” was awesome, from the plot to the characters ,and especially how they used screen-play to highlight how Sherlocks head works in these absurd ways.
I actually really enjoyed In the Name of the King
Titan A.E. only got a 50% and it is incredible and still holds up!
Hardcore Henry
Final Fantasy: the spirits within.
The animation felt way ahead of its time. It’s been over a decade since I watched it, but I have very fond and exciting memories of watching it.
From Paris With Love. It’s fast-paced, has funny quotes.
Warcraft - I loved that movie and hoped it would become a new franchise. The weirdest thing is there was a huge anti-campaign, like the “critics” gave it 29%, while audience gave it 76%. I still don’t understand what exactly happened here.
XKCD Alt-Text:
I wasn’t a big fan of 3 or Salvation, so I’m trying to resist getting my hopes up too much for Dark Fate, but it’s hard. I’m just a sucker for humans and robots traveling through time to try to drive trucks into each other, apparently.
I’ve got 3:
Spy Kids 2, (audience score of 39%), for not only the amazing creature design, but for also being a surprisingly philosophical movie
Sky High, (audience score of 57%). Good superhero comedy where Bruce Campbell is a gym teacher. He’s not the main character, but certainly the most memorable
Looney Tunes Back in Action, (Tomatometer of 57%, audience score of 50%). This was my Roger Rabbit. Seeing the cartoons interacting so well with the humans was amazing to me when I was younger, and I still remember some of the more Looney moments. Plus it has Casey Kasem’s Shaggy threatening to beat up Matthew Lilard after his performance in the live action Scooby Doo.
The Cheap Detective (1978) by Neil Simon with Peter Falk. Laugh out loud funny. I love Falk in comic roles. I thought The Cheap Detective was much better than Murder by Death (1976), but I seem to be in the minority there.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is way better than anyone gives it credit for. It’s a really fun movie.
I also really like Vanilla Sky even though critics hate it. It’s a weird but good movie.
How Equilibrium has a 40% RT rating is beyond me. It’s amazing.
The Cable Guy
I really liked Repo Men 2010. Rotten tomatoes has it at 21%
Eli, was a fun scary movie. Not sure where all the hate comes from
Speed Racer is my favortie movie of all time and i have been made fun of multiple times because of it.
I like both of National Treasure movies. With 46% and 36% ratings
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is a victim of critc snobbery of shich I used to subscribe to when they all came out.
