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 actually Enjoy The Lost World: Jurassic Park, a lot, and though it’s not as good as the original, it is definitely the only other good movie in the series afaic.
I also don’t hate the 1998 Mathew Brodrick Godzilla Movie, and it was actually that movie that kickstarted my interest into Godzilla. I still watch it from time to time. Not as a Godzilla movie, but as a decent late 90s disaster movie.
I like Star Wars Episode 1: the Phantom Menace, but I’ll admit it is purely for nostalgia. I remember the ad campaign from the time, and watching the movie warps me instantly back to 1999, eating Taco Bell and playing Pod Racing on the N64. It’s not a good movie, but it brings me happiness.
Indiana Jones: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is a fun movie to watch. Sure it is insane and unrealistic, but it has some of my favorite Harrison Ford Quotes in the series, and for as CG heavy as they are, I do enjoy the action scenes. I definitely like it better than Temple of Doom, so for me, it’s the 3rd best movie out of the 5.
The live action Super Mario Movie is legit a great movie if you understand that it is a way different thing from its source material. The movie has a great sense of humor, Bob Hopskins and Dennis Hopper are brilliant in their roles as Mario and Koopa, The set design is legit cool, and gives me heavy Blade Runner Vibes. And it has the best version of the Walk the Dinosaur song.
If we are going by Critical score instead of Audience: Godzilla King of the Monsters 2019. I was so hyped for that movie, and it delivered everything I ever wanted out of a Godzilla film. Much more Godzilla screen time than the 2014 movie, great fights dressed in great locations. Rodan popping out of the volcano was one of the most hype scenes I’ve seen in a G film. and my boy King Ghidorah! THEY. MADE. HIM. LOOK. AWESOME! The whole fight over DC was one of my favorite fights in the franchise, and me and my friend were so hyped, we were shouting up and down during our screening. Thank god no one was in the theatre with us lol. Yeah it was a dumb movie with a dumb hollow earth plot, but IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST MONSTER SMACK DOWNS EVER PUT TO FILM!
Wild Wild West is a dumb but fun Will Smith movie, and my favorite part about it is all the steam punk technology scattered throughout the film. Steam Punk is already an underserved genre, but especially so for live action films.
Late for the party, but just want to give my +1 for Wild wild west. Just watched it. It’s not nearly as bad as reviews paint. It’s fun and has its charm.
