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.
Reign of Fire only has a 42% (Critics), 49% (Audience) rating on RT, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. The visuals and sets create a nice moody post-apocalyptic vibe, and the actors deliver decent performances imo.
I liked it. Quite basic, yes, but damn, finally something new in the post-apocalypse genre. it came out during the time where everyone and their dog was churning out zombie movies and media. In the middle of that we get fucking dragons, and that’s the one to flop? Dafuq.
I just rewatched it. I understand the score, but I agree with your take. I think a director’s cut might add something, it was a bit rushed at times. And I dislike the skydivers.
I remember watching this movie with a friend on Bad Movie Night and we were both baffled at its low rating. I think the ending was a bit weak, I have honestly forgotten how it ends, I just remember thinking the ending was weaker, but the majority of the movie was great.
And the CGI is still amazing
