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.

    Chappie (32%)

    I love that movie and have seen it several times. Directed by Noel Blompkamp (District 9) and starring Die Antwoord.

    It’s extremely original and entertaining sci fi.

      I liked Chappie a lot when it came out, I was and still am a fan of Neill Blomkamp’s work, but found this one harder to enjoy over the years the more I learned about how awful the two people from Die Antwoord are in real life.

      Wtf how is it 32%? While maybe not a masterpiece it was a decent movie, I really enjoyed it as well and also cried when the robot got hurt

      I liked that movie, although the couple from die Antwoord are terrible actors, I found it a bit distracting. I still recommend people watch it.

        They are terrible actors but I think they were handled well. Because the characters were written for them, they really just had to be themselves.

        I think their prominence in the movie is what resulted in such a bad score. Even without the personal controversies, they are polarizing artists. Few people have a neutral reaction to their stuff. At the time I was pretty into their music, so seeing them in the movie was fun for me.

      Wow, I never would have guessed Chappie was even considered “bad.”. I love this movie and just recently watched it again and enjoyed it completely. It’s like a charming reverse RoboCop.
