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 was honestly a little shocked to find The Fountain rated so low, Tomatometer (fuck the tomatometer anyway, audience score is where it's usually at) was 52% with scathing reviews, the audience score fortunately remedied the situation with 74% cause I was seriously starting to look for another site.

And for it's opposite: The Blair Witch Project is 86% vs 56%. I haven't seen it in ages, have been planning to, but it was one of my favorite movies for a while.

The Fountain

The film score is absolutely fantastic.

It is! Clint Mansell and Aronofsky are a match made in heaven, but The Fountain is one of favorite soundtracks of all time and the one I listen to the most. I don't tend to listen to soundtracks all that much, but I find myself listening to the Fountain all the time
