Opinions: What is a movie you genuinely like, that is rated below 60% on rotten tomatoes? (xkcd.com)

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 honestly really liked The New Mutants and the idea of a superhero movie where everything happens in only one place.

I'm cheating a bit with a 1994 movie, but I genuinely enjoy watching Wagons East! It has 0% on Rotten Tomatoes, but I like it. I'm probably the exact target audience: I like westerns, and I like movies that make fun of them.

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.

Probably Elizabethtown - Cameron Crowe movie from 2005.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Mine is Stealth from 2005. Not high art by any means, but a fun action movie with some pretty cool special effects. Also written by the guy who wrote Big Trouble in Little China and directed The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension so bonus there.

Sanctum. Was surprised to see it with an audience score of 37%.

Waiting is a fantastic movie. Hilarious, especially towards the end with the new hire. 30% on Rotten Tomatoes.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

Any transformers movie. I just like seeing a bunch of cars transform into robots to then fight each other.
