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.

Van Helsing! 24% Critic Score, 57% Audience Score. Even I cringed rewatching it, but it has a special place in my heart. ๐Ÿบ

cringed

Wasn't it a nice movie? Any major cringe-worthy scenes?

Dracula's wife Marishka replaced fear with some other emotions.

That last scene when he gives Kate Beckinsale a burial, and he looks up into the sky and sees her there smiling down at him with a tear in her eye and all that. It was painfully cliche. Lol

Aah. I thought that I missed some actually iffy/cringeworthy scene by watching some cut/censored version of the movie.

That was just the most egregious example I could come up with if the top of my head. Gonna rewatch it and look for more "oof" moments. More than anything, it's that it was a product of its time. Especially with Underworld having come out and inspiring the whole "vampire versus werewolves" mythos in the mainstream.
