Unpopular Opinions
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.

    Kung Pow only has a 13% critic rating and I love that movie. 69% audience score though so that might disqualify it.

    I remember quite liking Slackers when I saw it (haven’t rewatched it though, so my opinion might have changed). I think if this movie every time I hear the song “She’ll be comin’ 'round the mountain”.

    The Big Hit

    Movies I saw 20 years ago it seems when maybe my tastes (and me too let’s face it) were a little immature. Still love Kung Pow though

      I didn’t understand the hate Sucker Punch got until I found out that the theatrical release was cut down to a PG-13 movie. To make it PG-13 they had to cut the core themes from the movie since they were not PG-13 appropriate.

      I had only watched the unrated directors cut and never saw the theatrical version so any time I talked about this movie people had no idea what I was talking about. The story and supporting scenes were completely gutted and that’s why people say the movie didn’t have a good story - it was removed.

    Grandma’s Boy is a perfect stoner comedy. Featuring Nick Swardson in a hilarious breakout performance. RT can kiss 15% of my ass.

    I really enjoyed the concept and story of In Time, which apparently has a 37% tomato meter and 51% audience score. That was probably the first less than 60% one I saw I particularly liked.

    Edit: I take it back, I choose Elysium. It has a 59% audience meter and I frickin LOVE that movie, all the way down to the villain being super crazy and virtually unintelligible.

    Tron: Legacy

    This is one of my favourite movies of all time. The story, atmosphere, and music are absolutely amazing!

    Idiocracy is one of my favorite movies. When it came out, it was far below 50%, but after some of the things on the movie started becoming true, it became popular.

    Chappie (32%)

    I love that movie and have seen it several times. Directed by Noel Blompkamp (District 9) and starring Die Antwoord.

    It’s extremely original and entertaining sci fi.

    I just looked up Event Horizon and it only got a 33%. I love that movie. It genuinely really creeped me out. Few horror films do.

    The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Sure it’s campy and way over the top. But I kinda like it for that. Plus the characters are awesome, the designs were pretty cool, and Sean Connery was great. Currently at 17% on rt.

    Constantine - 46%

    Predator - 34%

    Ghost in the Shell - 43%

    Hellboy - 17%

    Robocop (2016) - 49%

    Well, it seems like I have poor taste in movies after all.

    Hook (29% TomatoMeter).

    But it was released in 1991, so it wouldn’t count for the XKCD version. Also the audience score is 76%, so not really an unpopular opinion I guess.
