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 actually like Riddick, all three of them! Haven’t checked but am pretty sure they would’ve gotten less than 60%

        Wow.

        Pitch Black put Vin Diesel on my radar as an actor.BI expected less than nothing from that film, and Vin has like 3 lines of dialog, and just carries it.

        It’s refreshingly daring hard scifi. And yes, it’s also charming SciFi channel schlock. Both are somehow true.

      Agreed, although I was disappointed in the last one, but that’s because Chronicles was my favorite, and I had hoped it would spawn a Star Wars-esque space opera like series. I was super invested in the world. We still never got to see the underverse! I get what happened with three. Two didn’t do well enough to support the investment that a true sequel would require, so they tried to cater more towards the pitch black “space thriller” audience, but it just felt like they rewrote pitch black on another planet.

        Yea I get that, specially with the last one they had to put him right back into the pitch black cenario, but still enjoyable to watch, probably because how good vin diesel portrays this character. I’ve seen several posts on his Instagram about an upcoming Riddick film, but when? I guess after another FF.
