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 just looked up Event Horizon and it only got a 33%. I love that movie. It genuinely really creeped me out. Few horror films do.

That is absurd! Event Horizon is the only legit Doom movie. That was the idea all along and they even used the sound clip from the spawn cube in the movie.

Also, although I am not a 40k fan, I know some people see this as a prequel to Warhammer 40k as the moment in which humans first get to use the Warp.

It was ruined by execs, but it is a masterpiece, especially in the production design.

I watched that thinking it was just sci-fi while high as a kite in my teens.

I'm still not over it.

A+

What? I still hold that movie as the scariest thing I've ever seen. It grips me just thinking about some scenes. It's an amazing movie. Can't believe the score

Just goes to show you some people (critics) have no taste. That movie was awesome!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

I love the dismissal of critics as a while because a movie you like scored low. It's a good creepy movie but it's no that good of a movie overall. It's very cheesy, the dialogue is poor, the story is minimal. It's got great creeps though.
