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.

Rotten tomatoes is a terrible site to sort/filter by. Dear god what terrible UI.

I too liked Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, and as someone else mentioned National Treasure and Transcendence.

I liked Transcendence and I thought it my qualify. 19% from critics, 37% from audiences. Wow, it is over qualified.

Hexed, a 1993 comedy starring Arye Gross.

9% Rottentomatoes, 36% Audience.

It's really, really dumb. I recently rented and rewatched it with my wife, who had never seen it and enjoyed it.

The lead character works in a hotel and is a serial liar / conman who meets up with the supermodel he keeps insisting is his girlfriend.

The highest upvote comments really didn't understand the assignment.

Anyone say Pixels yet?

I'm not an Adam Sandler fan, the effects folks just did a really fun job and I get a little hit of dopamine seeing retro characters in real life.

Critic score or audience score? Because boy, there's a difference

I just checked, The Colony is only rated 54% on rotten tomatoes, wtf!? I admit it isn't flawless, but it's a welcome addition to the sci-fi genre. Your could sum it up with : "Avatar but the Na'vi are the humans the privileged left on the devastated Earth". The old colonist routine is even more uneasy to watch when it's against your own kind.

Scorpion King.

Dumb fun and i love it.

Also as someone else said already, Equilibrium and Prince of Persia.

"Freddy Got Fingered". So stupid and obnoxious that it might actually be brilliant. Arguably

Just watched it the other night, 2013 RIPD. It was crazy, out there, pretty funny and just enjoyable to watch. 12% on rotten tomatoes

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Zardoz. 49% at RT. I genuinely love it. It's insane and weird and doesn't make sense and it's wonderful. I even have an original poster framed in my house.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I really like the City of Ember movie, even tho it was a major flop.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (7 children)

Next (2007), starring the One True God, alongside Julianne Moore and Jessica Biel.

It's a brilliant movie (loosely) based on a Philip K Dick short story. It's been nominated and won actual awards (Worst Actor and Worst Supporting Actress from the prestigious Razzie Awards, Worst Foreign Actor from the Yoga Awards), and it stands the test of time comfortably at 28% on the tomatometer.

I wish I was kidding. I've watched this over a dozen times. I can't stop. Send help.
