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.

2004's Van Helsing stands at 24%. It is silly but it is fun.

I saw this mentioned a few times, so I checked it out. It was better than I was expecting. The whole cast did a good job, the story itself was interesting, the cape scene was pretty cool, I like the ostriches, and the fights were alright. The rewind effect was good looking and not overused. The assassins had some nifty weaponry.

As you said, nothing to get blown away by, but a pretty fun time overall. I thought of it as an Aladdin action movie. Having seen almost all the other movies in this thread, I was glad to find something good I'd ignored. This was definitely an ok movie.

For that matter, I quite enjoyed the 2019 Aladdin remake.

Next (2007), starring the One True God, alongside Julianne Moore and Jessica Biel.

It's a brilliant movie (loosely) based on a Philip K Dick short story. It's been nominated and won actual awards (Worst Actor and Worst Supporting Actress from the prestigious Razzie Awards, Worst Foreign Actor from the Yoga Awards), and it stands the test of time comfortably at 28% on the tomatometer.

I wish I was kidding. I've watched this over a dozen times. I can't stop. Send help.

Mosquito (1995) was so terrible that you almost cant even pirate it but its so camp that I cant help but still enjoy its B movie qualities
