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.

"Judge Dredd" (1995)

It's fun, funny, entertaining, and while not well written, is well acted.

Honorable mention is "Demolition Man" (1993) for similar reasons. Though it's in the 60s when it comes to a rating.

It's like, sometimes I want to sit back turn my brain off for 2 hours, and just enjoy.

For a moment I thought you meant Dredd (2012, 80%) with Karl Urban, which was awesome.

I don't think Judge Dredd, was really that bad though, and certainly not 22% bad.

I saw Judge Dredd in the cinema and hated it. Not at all faithful to the books and you just know that some studio exec said "we're paying for Stallone to be in this picture so he's gotta take his helmet off!". And Rob Schneider was in it. Apparently it was a lot more violent but they cut it all to get a better rating. The Dredd movie from a few years back was awesome.

I liked Demolition Man though. Much better comic tone to it.

If he had kept his helmet on....

The Judge Dredd movie sucked, but that ABC war robot prop single handedly made it cool.

[–] popemichael@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I thought that was SO COOL when it came out.

The only part that I didn't like of that was Hackerman Rob Schneider

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Who is a shockingly massive part of the movie. I remembered him being a minor character, almost a cameo, but in recent rewatch nope he was a secondary protagonist through almost the whole movie.

[–] popemichael@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not really a fan of Rob Schneider in leading roles. Like his only half way decent movie where he leads is Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo. May the gods help you if you're ever forced to watch that movie's sequel today.

He also did weirdly well in 50 First Dates, even if it is a bit tasteless now-a-days.

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A tasteless Adam Sandler movie?

[–] popemichael@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

That's a REALLY good point.

I think that he'd be much better regarded if he stopped after 'Happy Gilmore' or 'Waterboy' or even 'Little Nicky'

'Click' was okay, though. Though not because it's an Adam Sandler movie.
