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 think it was fine. Dunno why the hatred for it. Yes sure, Asimov was a genius with how he made up new concepts and immediately started playing with them, and the movie doesn’t quite live up to that.

    But also the story is (loosely) based on a short story that’s like what, 10 pages long? I, Robot is a collection of random short stories, so I’m not sure what people expected from a movie with that name. Maybe something like Animatrix?

    If you wanna see some real butchering of Asimov’s work, there’s the Foundation series…
