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.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is way better than anyone gives it credit for. It’s a really fun movie.

I also really like Vanilla Sky even though critics hate it. It’s a weird but good movie.

How Equilibrium has a 40% RT rating is beyond me. It’s amazing.

I’m pretty shocked to see Vanilla Sky rated that poorly. I recall it being a critical darling at the time.

Equilibrium is a good movie. I remember the controversy of the new Ghostbusters which has weird numbers too (people hated it, RT loved it).

So good! After seeing it, I grabbed and watched Abre Los Ojos the next week just to get more.

Yeah, I liked Prince of Persia as well! It’s nothing groundbreaking, but it’s a fun movie.

Equilibrium is so goddamn good.

I also loved terminator genysis. It was fun and entertaining, ok!? Also a huge sucker for time travel movies.

Vanilla Sky was quite good.

The only time I ever heard anything Rush Limbaugh say that I agreed with is that he thought Vanilla Sky was a good movie. Interestingly, he said it to a left-wing caller and they found common ground for a few minutes about the movie.

Yes, I occasionally had to listen to Limbaugh unfortunately.

I feel like prince of Persia missed on timing more than anything. It came out too close to dragon emperor imo. And the same year as clash of the titans. It’s a decent flick, but not good enough to outrun the comparisons on what all 3 did poorly. (Mostly dialog)
