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 really enjoyed the concept and story of In Time, which apparently has a 37% tomato meter and 51% audience score. That was probably the first less than 60% one I saw I particularly liked.

    Edit: I take it back, I choose Elysium. It has a 59% audience meter and I frickin LOVE that movie, all the way down to the villain being super crazy and virtually unintelligible.

      I love the concept of using time as currency. I also somehow really love the chemistry between the male and female lead.

      If you liked the concept you may want to watch the 1987 short The Price of Life.

      Haven’t seen Elysium but I remember In Time being much better than that rating suggests.

      I think it goes to show the IMDb rating of 6.7/10 is probably better reflects how good it is, also “76% liked this film - Google users”
