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.

The Matrix Revolutions.

Released in the same year as Reloaded, which I don't think a movie series of that caliber has been done in a long time or since. But we got two Matrix sequels in one year. Reloaded has gotten a little more accepted as time went on but people are still divided on Revolutions. I quite frankly, thought the mainline series couldn't have ended on more of a note than it did. A lot of the content has gone over everyone's heads, even at the time, because it was all techy-techy stuff and had biblical themes in it as well. But if you look at the entire Matrix series as you would TRON, it makes a little more sense.

Revolutions is definitely the weakest of the original trilogy, but it's still awesome. Sucks that they had to recast the Oracle, and the Dragonball Z shit at the end is kind of super silly, but all of the mech action and shit in Zion is exactly why I go to the movies.

I get the hate that it gets, and could very easily have been part of one movie as opposed to 2. However, I still think the trilogy is great. It had me digging in the matrix tunnels for years trying to learn more about it.
