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.
Yeah, I liked Prince of Persia as well! It’s nothing groundbreaking, but it’s a fun movie.
Wait, people don’t like Vanilla Sky‽ That movie is great!
So good! After seeing it, I grabbed and watched Abre Los Ojos the next week just to get more.
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)
I’m pretty shocked to see Vanilla Sky rated that poorly. I recall it being a critical darling at the time.
