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.

      Nah. It STARTED out amazing in the first act with subzero and scorpion in the Japanese village, but once that scene is over, the entire second act drags and is by far the biggest act in the movie. Then when things finally start picking up again in the third act, its almost over. Plus theres stupid stuff like Subzero speaking english in 1400 japan when he was speaking chinese for the majority of the film and then a little japanese plus much more. I guess it wasn’t absolutely horrible, but definitely not amazing.

          Which then it’s bogged down by cole young, who shouldn’t have been the human surrogate for the audience. Honestly, it should’ve been Kano, which would’ve improved this movie by a lot.
