Attack Of The Clones. Specifically Jar Jar. He was less annoying than C3P0 ever was.

If that is in response to the XKCD comic, it rated 66% on Rotten Tomatoes. Try again. :p

Grown Ups is fun. Stupid but enjoyable. I guarantee half the people that rip it actually like it they just dont want to admit it.
 
Re: Movie Thread #50: Godzilla gives us permission to nuke our enemies

My "adult life" began before 2000, so...

Stargate (1994 - 46%)
Hard Rain (1997 - 29%)
Volcano (1997 - 46%)
Armageddon (1998 - 39%)
Can't Hardly Wait (1998 - 44%)
Deep Impact (1998 - 46%)
The Perfect Storm (2000 - 48%)

If I have to go post-2000
Reign of Fire (2002 - 40%)

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.

Oh, good one.

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

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%.

*But I'll let it slide. I don't mind watching it myself, but woof, it isn't good. :D
** Who sh**s on that film?

This is a difficult challenge; finding a film that you like, yet gets sh** upon like Nickleback.
 
Re: Movie Thread #50: Godzilla gives us permission to nuke our enemies

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

Looking back at the 80's there are some real mysteries on there.

Teen Wolf (47%)
St Elmo's Fire (44%)
Twins (44%)
Top Gun (43%) (New reviews have pushed it over 50%)
Road House (42%)
Rocky IV (40%)
Young Guns (40%)
A View to A Kill (37%)
