Opinions: What is a movie you genuinely like, that is rated below 60% on rotten tomatoes? (xkcd.com)

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 really enjoyed the concept and story of In Time, which apparently has a 37% tomato meter and 51% audience score. That was probably the first less than 60% one I saw I particularly liked.

Edit: I take it back, I choose Elysium. It has a 59% audience meter and I frickin LOVE that movie, all the way down to the villain being super crazy and virtually unintelligible.

I would take In Time over Elysium. And Equilibrium, but that's probably rated much higher.

[–] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I also really liked Equilibrium.

I love the concept of using time as currency. I also somehow really love the chemistry between the male and female lead.

I really enjoyed the concept and story of In Time

If you liked the concept you may want to watch the 1987 short The Price of Life.

[–] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks, I'll check it out!

I think it goes to show the IMDb rating of 6.7/10 is probably better reflects how good it is, also "76% liked this film - Google users"

[–] Piers@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Haven't seen Elysium but I remember In Time being much better than that rating suggests.
