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.
Hold My Beer.
Silent Hill sits at 32%. I’ve watched it tons of times. I understand why it’s not popular, in terms of its mediocre raw quality. But I love it unironically and not in an Evil Dead 2 kind of way.
Half the issue with finding movies <50% that I liked is how hard it is to just get a list of movies by year… and yeah, the year range. The Toy is only 3% and I LOVED it growing up, but yeah it breaks the post-2000 rule.
Actually, hell. I apparently only have to jump into superhero movies. I thought Black Adam was the best DC movie we’ve had… sub-50. I liked Quantumania…sub-50. I enjoyed Shazam 2… sub-50. I REALLY liked Eternals… sub-50. Venom is sub-50 and has an honorary place in my family’s marvel marathons… Boy, this is easier than I thought! I must have a terrible sense of taste!
Still going just on recent “rotten”. I liked Gray Man… Sub-50. Suicide Squad…they gave it 26%???
Yeah, I’m out :)… And I think ya’ll drank my beer.
Silent Hill wasn’t really scary at all, but the production design is on point, and it does look like Silent Hill. Probably the most underrated of any video game movie.
Totally. They successfully gave us an on-screen Pyramid Head without going too campy. That’s a crazy success on its own.
I love the Silent Hill games series. I felt they really captured the essence of the game. I dare say it was one of the first video game to movie adaptations that was done really well.
I love Silent Hill the movie. Maybe I have no big issues with the movie because I never played the games. But I love the overall vibe of the movie
