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.
it didn’t come out in my adult life, but I’m really young so I get a pass.
Cars 2
a dope ass Pixar spy movie with Lightning motherfucking McQueen.
in this case I’m literally going"all of you are wrong" but IT’S FIREEEE
Sucker Punch (2011). Seriously underrated.Dont get why many people consider this movie plotless.
I would go with In the Mouth of Madness, one of my faves but it’s pre 2000
Another is Jingle all the Way. I think it’s a perfect Christmas Movie but again pre 2000
Boondock Saints (Nov 99 is close enough). It’s such a fun movie, but only has a 27%
Speed 2: cruise control
I know its likely unpopular, even for a list like this, but i find myself genuinely enjoying putting it on. Quite often.
It is an action movie, but it isnt all dark & gloomy like so many in the genre. Instead, its bright and sunny. The scenarios genuinely make no sense (ex, door handles apparently dont exist) but the movie still feels fun and entertaining.
I remember liking Paycheck when I saw it in theaters.
Hellraiser: Inferno. Producers should not have latched on to the Hellraiser franchise (I think it was a script rewritten for the purpose), but it has this cool premise of a guy entering an alternate, surreal reality.
I love the Hellraiser franchise and don’t really consider this part of it but I do rewatch this movie every few years for the cool daily-life-twisted feel.
I liked Transcendence and I thought it my qualify. 19% from critics, 37% from audiences. Wow, it is over qualified.
I am proud to say that Young Einstein is my favourite Australian movie of all time.
The Super Mario Bros movie. It was really good but for some reason has a 59% rating on the tomato-meter, despite a 95% audience score. Very strange and it’s why I just don’t trust Rotten Tomatoes.
Tenet is criminally under rated at 69%. Easily one of my favorite movies of all time.
Dude, 3 ninjas: high noon at mega mountain is an amazing kids movie. Every actor is clearly having so much fun and the plot’s overblown absurdity allows for super fun set piece action sequences.
The New Guy! 7% tomatometer and 54% audience score. It’s still my favorite feel good movie and the funky music is amazing.
G.I. Joe: Retaliation
Cowboys & Aliens
Automata 2014
Oblivion 2013
Jupiter Ascending 2015
Evolution 2001
There might be a pattern in there somewhere…
