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.

Constantine - 46%

Predator - 34%

Ghost in the Shell - 43%

Hellboy - 17%

Robocop (2016) - 49%

Well, it seems like I have poor taste in movies after all.

Ghost in the Shell (2017) was quite good.

Loved the characters, but the movie plot felt like a clipshow of a bigger plot that didn't fit into 2 hours. I haven't watched the anime but it probably was.

That's exactly what it was. They just lifted their favorite parts from multiple different iterations of the story. The original movie and the original TV show, mainly. But those two don't even canonically fit together.

It was a jumbled mess and it sucked. The original anime, its sequel, and the original TV show are all fantastic, however.

Watch the anime, everything that was great in the 2016 version is a bow to the "original". And I actually think Johansson was a great cast for the film. The way she moves is so totally Major Kusanagi.
