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.
Gonna go with Mortal Kombat (1995) 45%, a video game to film adaptation of a fighting game is never going to be deep, but this is a fun ride. Could add in the follow up, Annihilation (1997), 4% and the 2021 film which sits at 54% too. Don’t expect much and they are fun films.
Ok, Annihilation was actually pretty terrible, but the first movie was good dumb fun.
The first is infinitely re-watchable even with the terrible CGI, but the second one is unwatchable.
Same for me. That film ended my many years of obsession with a song I once heard on the radio and only managed to record half of it. The pain of living in a time before Shazam & Co existed was horrible. With no track lists on the web, the best way to identify a song was humming it to an employee in a record store… and good luck with that.
The acting, effects and story aren’t all that great, but still fun to watch IMHO. But I will always love that movie just for picking Halcyon from Orbital in its ending scene.
I love the MK movie, everyone always told me it was terrible. Watched it for the first time few years back, maybe it was the lack of expectations for it, but it was fun.
I thought the new Annihilation was incredible
Along that same line, the Jean-Claude Van Damme / Raul Julia Street Fighter movie. 11% critic rating, but enjoyable.
