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.

It was seen as a new low when it came to product placement, which was much talked about at the time. There's a scene where someone compliments Will Smith's character's shoes and the camera zooms in on them while he says "vintage 200X" that was incredibly reviled.

Ah yeah, the Chuck Taylor reference, it was brief, but considering how it had been criticized it must've stuck out in how obvious it sounded. It's at least a far cry from being Hawaii 5-0 tier, thankfully.

I've seen that link before without realizing it was from a movie, not an actual commercial. I can't believe they put that in a movie.
