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.

    Hook with it’s 29% tomatometer rating. Dustin Hoffman—sexual misconduct allegations aside—fucking nailed it as Hook, and I think the general concept of an adult Peter Pan returning was pretty cool. Also, who doesn’t love Robin Williams? It was a movie I loved in my childhood so I am absolutely biased, but 29% seems absurd. I still find the “Don’t try to stop me, Smee” scene hilarious to this day.

      I feel like the for xkcd question using audience score makes it a harder problem.

      I’m surprised that Hook has a 29% tomato rating but it does have a 76% Audience score. So it’s more liking something that critics hate instead of something everyone hates.

      It’s a classic that maintains that status across multiple generations, so 29% is a bit of a joke. I guess if you view it from the POV of a haughty film critic, but c’mon.
