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.

I'm surprised to see Batman Forever has such a low score, I loved that movie when it came out. Granted, I was in middle school at the time but I've probably seen it a half dozen or so times over the years. I had no idea people don't like that movie.

Every person who likes horror movies can probably name a few examples. Horror movies are somehow really weirdly understood by a lot of people, including critics. Or perhaps I watch them for the wrong reasons, I don't know.

Slumberland on Netflix. I loved the movie and thought it was so stupid it got a low score on Netflix

Dude, 3 ninjas: high noon at mega mountain is an amazing kids movie. Every actor is clearly having so much fun and the plot's overblown absurdity allows for super fun set piece action sequences.

Small Soldiers (1998) - got 49% Loved this film when I was a kid and I still do.

The question was about post-2000 movies.

I never visit the site to see what other people an critics think of a movie.

Same, rotten tomatoes nowadays is full of paid critics and anti sjws who raid audience reviews whenever their favourite chud reviewer shits on a movie. Id rather form my own opinion, thanks.

Jurassic World Dominion. The original Jurassic Park is probably my favorite movie of all time, and I know that people hate the remakes. But they were so much fun to me. I love dinosaurs. Sue me.

On the borderline nonexistent chance that Ark isn't already on your radar, this game was made for... specifically YOU.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/346110/ARK_Survival_Evolved/

Newer content is pretty sci-fi heavy, but the original maps are all about the dinos.

Hey thanks for the recommendation! Unfortunately my computer is too janky to handle anything made after around 2012, so I'm a bit limited in what I can play. Honestly probably for the best while I'm in school...

But when I graduate and have some form of income, I will definitely check it out cause it looks awesome! Thanks for the recommendation bud!

Out Cold. It's a dumb snowboarding comedy movie, but I think it's dumb in a really funny way. It only has an 8% on rotten tomatoes but I think thats way incorrect.

If you go in expecting stupid humor it's actually got a lot of funny lines and moments.

The live action Super Mario Bros movie.

I know it doesn't meet the "post 2000's" rule, but I saw it for the first time a couple years ago, so I think it still counts. I don't think it was a very good Mario movie since it took A LOT of creative liberties with the source material (tbf, there wasn't a lot to work with in 1993), but as its own thing, I enjoyed it for what it was. Definitely expected a lot worse when going into it.

I remember really enjoying the Van Helsing movie with Hugh Jackman as a kid. The world and weapons were really cool.

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.

Tenet is criminally under rated at 69%. Easily one of my favorite movies of all time.

The Matrix 4. Could've been better if it wasn't missing 50% of the directing talent, but it's still a worthy sequel.
