Unpopular Opinions

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.

    Can’t believe no one has mentioned The Core (2003).

    39% on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s completely absurd and scientifically nonsensical. But damned if it isn’t fun.

        Yeah, probably! That’s the one where:

        • The Earth’s core has stopped spinning, collapsing the magnetosphere
        • The only way to restart the core is (obviously) to nuke it
        • The crew has to therefore take a ship down to the core, normally impossibly because of temperatures and pressures past the mohorovicic discontinuity
        • But luckily they have Unobtainium! And they make a ship out of it with a laser on front so they can drive down to the core
        • There’s a weird side plot about how the techie guy supporting the team actually invented Napster but it was stolen by his roommate
        • A standard Armageddon-style scifi adventure ensures. Except they go down. Instead of up.
