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 liked:

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (48%)
Jupiter Ascending (28%)

My partner and I both love Jupiter Ascending!

It's not perfect but I don't think it deserves that low a rating! 28% is rough

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Valerian definitely, Jupiter ascending could have been good , had potential

I friggin' adore Jupiter Ascending!

Like, I can see why others wouldn't like it, because it has issues, but MAN! It's an imaginative, sprawling sci-fi epic and we don't really get those anymore. I mean, we never truly got them apart from Star Wars. That's why I love it. It sets up a universe that hints at SO MUCH MORE but is content to play in its own little corner.

John Carter has a similar place in my heart.

I'm willing to bet I'd also like Valerian, but I can't stand Cara Delevigne :/

I desperately with Jupiter Ascending had gotten two more movies.

The first one suffers from having to do a lot of setup. I think if two more had been made, the trilogy would be really popular.

I didn’t like following the plot or main actors in Valerian, but I loved the setting. I want to play a BioWare RPG in that setting.

The opening montage of the movie is top tier as well.
