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.

    Dolly Dearest (1991). Critically and Viewer panned mainly because it was seen as a Child’s Play knock off. It’s definitely deserving of a higher rating and it’s story is actually very intriguing.

    Blue Sunshine (1978). Originally highly rated. New rating from views have dropped its score to less than 50% despite its Cult status.

    Body Melt (1994). Another one where the critics are right and the viewers are wrong.

    A Bucket of Blood (1959). While it’s balanced now. This is a good example of the swinging opinions of viewers. 2 years ago the view rating was much lower, or maybe it was the IMDB rating that was sub 4 stars.

    Ebola Syndrome (1996) is the opposite. Originally panned by everyone. It’s currently being seen as campy and the rating shot up to 69%. It even supports a Comedy tag, despite no comedy in the movie.
