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.

    As a straight man, I also liked Sucker Punch for reasons other than “hot girls in short skirts”. It was a bit over the top, but I concur with every point you made.

      As a gay lady, I liked it for the skirts AND The swords.

      I liked it for all the reasons.

      The short skirts were a bonus for me but perhaps a handicap to getting a decent rating. I’ve always thought it should have gotten a better reception than it did.

      Same reason I liked Beowulf. No, sister, Angelina Jolie’s performance was not the main draw for me.

      That scene where the fallen king lies briefly on the beach next to his maddened engoldened son, before the sea washes him away.
