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.
Also if I can just flip the question a bit, one movie I didn’t expect to love as much as I did (though it got deservedly good tomato ratings) was:
I expected another in a long line of good action movies. Not the best, probably even just mediocre relative to the rest of the collection.
But I’ve found myself rewatching that one more than any other Alien/Predator movie, it’s a truly great film.
One of if not the best Alien/Predator films ever made imo.
I really liked seeing the origin of the gun they give Danny Glover in Predator 2, although I’m wondering who Naru passed it on to that got taken down.
Prey is the 3rd best Predator movie.
The lower budget causing a lean into some dodgy CGI hurts it a bit, but it’s otherwise pretty good. People have ping said they’ve wanted predator movies set in history and this one really leveraged its setting. The French trappers fighting the Predator was worth watching alone.
