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 was honestly a little shocked to find The Fountain rated so low, Tomatometer (fuck the tomatometer anyway, audience score is where it’s usually at) was 52% with scathing reviews, the audience score fortunately remedied the situation with 74% cause I was seriously starting to look for another site.
And for it’s opposite: The Blair Witch Project is 86% vs 56%. I haven’t seen it in ages, have been planning to, but it was one of my favorite movies for a while.
The film score is absolutely fantastic.
It is! Clint Mansell and Aronofsky are a match made in heaven, but The Fountain is one of favorite soundtracks of all time and the one I listen to the most. I don’t tend to listen to soundtracks all that much, but I find myself listening to the Fountain all the time
The Fountain was the first movie I thought of for this prompt. Freaking love that movie, but no one I knew at the time shared my opinion of it.
Fantastic movie, but few people I know liked it.
