90

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.

Critic score or audience score? Because boy, there's a difference

[-] atyaz@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

My friend has a theory that if the critic score is significantly lower than the audience score, it will probably be a good movie. He's been mostly right afaict

2005's The Island.

Did make me wish we had a remake of Logan's Run though.

I just watched Cowboys & Aliens (2011) for the first time earlier today and really enjoyed it.

Lots of famous faces in front of the camera and lots of well known names involved behind the scenes.

Producers include Steven Spielberg, Jon Favreau, & Ron Howard.

Actors include Harrison Ford, Daniel Craig, & Olivia Wilde.

Seems like a really stupid idea for a plot but I found myself about halfway through thinking "this isn't really that different from a Star Wars type movie... That's basically already alien cowboys .."

Oh yeah... Forgot to mention that Steve Oedekirk (from Kung Pow fame) was also involved .. he was one of three writers

Both from 1991: Hudson Hawk and Nothing But Trouble

Batman v Superman is great, it just doesn't fit the usual super hero movie tropes in my opinion. The ultimate edition is awesome

Street Fighter has 11%.

It's glorious. It's a comedy that only Raul Julia is in on. Everyone else playing it dead serious, but a super hammy scenery chewing villain, with some genuinely great lines.

It's what modern movies are missing. Especially the recent MCU fare. Jonathan Majors and Josh Brolin may well be great actors, but they're not great villains. They're a better fit for mumbling their way through a 3 hour Chris Nolan epic.

Think Tim Curry or Alan Rickman in practically anything they were ever in. The earlier movies had this spark with Jeff Bridges and Tom Hiddleston, but they've lost it now. These things live and die by their choice of villain. They are after all the reason for the movie to exist.

Out Cold. It's a dumb snowboarding comedy movie, but I think it's dumb in a really funny way. It only has an 8% on rotten tomatoes but I think thats way incorrect.

If you go in expecting stupid humor it's actually got a lot of funny lines and moments.

Holy cow, I forgot the name of that movie and was searching for it. It is so stupid, but fun.

Thank you!

The live action Super Mario Bros movie.

I know it doesn't meet the "post 2000's" rule, but I saw it for the first time a couple years ago, so I think it still counts. I don't think it was a very good Mario movie since it took A LOT of creative liberties with the source material (tbf, there wasn't a lot to work with in 1993), but as its own thing, I enjoyed it for what it was. Definitely expected a lot worse when going into it.

I'm surprised to see Batman Forever has such a low score, I loved that movie when it came out. Granted, I was in middle school at the time but I've probably seen it a half dozen or so times over the years. I had no idea people don't like that movie.

Jurassic World Dominion. The original Jurassic Park is probably my favorite movie of all time, and I know that people hate the remakes. But they were so much fun to me. I love dinosaurs. Sue me.

On the borderline nonexistent chance that Ark isn't already on your radar, this game was made for... specifically YOU.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/346110/ARK_Survival_Evolved/

Newer content is pretty sci-fi heavy, but the original maps are all about the dinos.

[-] DrGumby@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

Hey thanks for the recommendation! Unfortunately my computer is too janky to handle anything made after around 2012, so I'm a bit limited in what I can play. Honestly probably for the best while I'm in school...

But when I graduate and have some form of income, I will definitely check it out cause it looks awesome! Thanks for the recommendation bud!
