  • Re: Movie Thread #50: Godzilla gives us permission to nuke our enemies

    I was going to say Men in Black II, but then I remembered Lara Flynn Boyle is the villain in that one, and I can't stand her.

      I honestly never have checked Rotten Tomatoes.

      So I'll chime in with Can't Hardly Wait, thanks to a previous response. Love that movie.

          Are we counting critics score, or audience score, or both?
          I think it's just using the Tomatometer. Audiences generally score better.
          That, and using the XKCD example, Terminator Genesis scored 53% with audiences, which is above the 50% called out in the comic. (The Tomatometer for the film is 26%)

            From this year I was shocked to see Escape Room was only at 49%. It isn't a masterpiece by any stretch, but it is enjoyable.

              Jupiter Ascending
              Matrix Reloaded (assuming this was <50%)
              Armageddon (from above)
              Gone in 60 Seconds
              Were the Millers

              Trying to think of more.

                I was going to say The Age of Adaline (Ford is great here as is Lively and Huismann) but that just broke 50%.

                  This is a difficult challenge; finding a film that you like, yet gets sh** upon like Nickleback.

                    Does Adventures Of Ford Fairlane count? The year is off, but heck of a cast for the time. Can't imagine that got good ratings on Tomatoes.

                              But it sucked so bad, it was great, just like all the other movies I bolded on that list.
