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.

Cube Zero (2004)

That's right, the prequel to the 1997 horror film Cube. Where people are trapped inside a cube that keeps killing them.

I feel like I'm cheating because it got some positive reviews, just not enough to even have a critic score. Audience score is in the 20's. I don't know why! It's a great follow up. Much better than the sequel, Hypercube. It gives us some much needed backstory on why the cubes exist and what their purpose is.

Oh wow, I haven't thought about this film in forever. I really like it as well. 👍

I agree, not earthshattering but enjoyable, better than Hypercube and deserving of more love.

Sorry (because I guess it breaks the premise of your original post :-) ) but I totally agree - Going back to the gritty, less technical cube added so much and getting a look 'behind the scenes' was a great direction to go. Ohhh maybe I should watch Cube and Zero again!!

In Cube it is implied that it is a headless beast. In Cube Zero we are shown the head. It doesn't jive perfectly.

I did enjoy it for what it is worth.
