Opinions: What is a movie you genuinely like, that is rated below 60% on rotten tomatoes? - Lemmy.world

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 unironically like Sucker Punch. And no, it’s not only because of scantily clad women.

I find the action sequences backwards. Usually, I like sequences in increasing order: 1st is ok, 2nd is better, 3rd is best. Sucker Punch was the opposite. I LOVED the first sequence and then the subsequent ones less so.

Also, I think it had far more potential if it had been rewritten or worked on a little more. Yes, the hot chicks in fight scenes are nice, but the writing keeps a movie over time. It’s essentially an anime music video but live action.
