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.

The New Guy! 7% tomatometer and 54% audience score. It's still my favorite feel good movie and the funky music is amazing.

I love Ishtar, fuck the haters

Tenet is criminally under rated at 69%. Easily one of my favorite movies of all time.

Apollo 18. It just has the atmosphere, sense of isolaton and impending doom.

Also Life which is thematically similar, but higher production value.

And in the same vein, Europa Report, though it has critic score of 80. One of the best hard sci-fi films ever.

Almost forgot Pandorum—that one was decent, too.

As was Prometheus (I know biologists and geologists IRL, studied biology myself—the films depiction of these folks is spot on!).

I really enjoyed Europa Report. Didn't know it was so lowly scored by the audience.

When i was younger (teen) i watched the cat in the hat w/ mike myres and LOVED it. Wasnt untill years later i found it was rated so bad. Still i guinuinly like it.

A lot of movies I like aren't scored well on RT. I'm convinced it's just filled with the kind of people that want suggestion

[–] Shikadi@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago

I loved that movie! It got below 60%?!? Wtf

[–] infamousta@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Hellraiser: Inferno. Producers should not have latched on to the Hellraiser franchise (I think it was a script rewritten for the purpose), but it has this cool premise of a guy entering an alternate, surreal reality.

I love the Hellraiser franchise and don’t really consider this part of it but I do rewatch this movie every few years for the cool daily-life-twisted feel.

[–] bronzle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I’d like to see lists where both the tomato meter score and audience score are below 60

Big Game by Samuel Jackson. I really loved that movie and people barely know it exists.

Bunraku, and despite the title it's an english movie with Woody Harrelson and Ron Perlman. Its setting stands out the most as it's made as a giant paper popup book with a sin city ambiance sprinkled with some cartoony humor.

Although the movie tone is pretty serious ala Sin City, it's not a serious movie at all. And I believe a lot of dont-take-it-so-serious movies got unjustly canned a lot in '00s & '10s by critics. I'm glad to see that's changing a bit over last few years.

I Come In Peace / Dark Angel (1990) - campy sci-fi action with a really interesting premise.

I watched it as a kid on VHS in the early nineties, then spent 20 something years trying to remember its name.

Fired Up. Sitting at 24 percent from critics.

Was it as good as Not Another Teen Movie? No, probably not. But it still had some hilarious moments and lines. I especially enjoyed the long running jokes they kept sneaking in throughout the movie.

Mosquito (1995) was so terrible that you almost cant even pirate it but its so camp that I cant help but still enjoy its B movie qualities
