Opinions: What is a movie you genuinely like, that is rated below 60% on rotten tomatoes? (xkcd.com)

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.

This has always been easy for me because my favorite movie is "Speed Racer" which has like a 40% on Rotten Tomatoes.

A movie that was genuinely before its time. Would fit right in these days with "Barbie" and "Everything Everywhere All At Once".

It's terrible until you realise they did it like that on purpose.

A terrible live action remake of a terrible anime was on purpose?

Speed Racer is such a rad movie. Definitely suffered from the tendency I noticed in the past of hyper-stylized/”weird" movies getting trashed by critics just for aesthetics. That does seem to be lessening quite a bit, given the reception to movies like you mentioned. Here's hoping it keeps going!

Thank you, I was searching for this so I didn't have to post the same thing. It is such amazing world building creating an absurd colorful world of anime come to life that you never question it. John Goodman beats up a ninja and makes a tacky joke without it feeling dumb because it fits the world. The final race goes full expressionism and it's beautiful.

Hell it deserves praise as it's one of the few movies with a kid and animal sidekick where I don't hate either because they just make sense in the madness.

Best live-action anime adaptation of all time.

Visuals came like an acid trip. Banging EDM. Christina Ricci as Trixie!?! What's not to like about this movie? Love popping it on every so often.

It's amazing how faithful to the original it was and still was brought into the modern era. Most remakes never do that.
