Opinions: What is a movie you genuinely like, that is rated below 60% on rotten tomatoes? - eviltoast

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 was a remake of sorts of It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. Many of of the critics that hated it could have been doing so comparing it to the 1963 movie while the audience may have not cared and loved the update with contemporary comedic actors.

    To many critics (who watch an insane number of movies) some tropes may seem overused or unoriginal.

    Also holy crap, the original was nearly 3 hours long… Guess I’ll have to check it out now. That one shows 71% critic and 83% audience scores.
