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 tend to like sci-fi in this category such as Stargate, Dune (1984), and the Riddick films.
TRON Legacy is my favorite of the bunch, however. Incredible soundtrack, gorgeous costume design, and plenty of character.
I really liked Tron Legacy. I keep hearing the next one in the works so cautiously awaiting to see what they release next.
If Daft Punk isn’t doing the music, I won’t even bother being interested
Didn’t Daft Punk break up last year? I guess I would suggest not even bothering with considering hopes at this point.
yup. Although with the amount of people wanting to see them in the movie, it’s possible that they still might do it with enough cash, err I mean incentives
TRON Legacy is one of those movies where I watch it purely for its visuals and music. It’s a let down in terms of story and action, but I stop everything to look at it when its on.
It’s an excellent long-form Daft Punk video.
Not as good as Interstella 5555, but that’s in part because Discovery is a perfect album.
I loved the film, but I can’t think too hard about it. I treat it like a really long music video. It was such a fun watch.
A long music video is pretty much how I sell it, lol. Also a good movie to watch while in an altered state (it’s my go-to movie when I get really sick/feverish).
I like those too, in particular Dune and the Chronicles of Riddick, but they all have audience scores above 60% (and Stargate and Dune are from the last millennium if we’re sticking to that requirement).
Tron Legacy, at least to me, was an example of a film that was let down by poor editing, especially during the fight scenes.
I wanted to like TRON: Legacy. I didn’t.
There’s one reason the original TRON wouldn’t play today, and it’s not the 1980s fake computer graphics. It’s the pacing. TRON is slow. There’s no jitter. It looks like a 1980s video game, not a 21st-century video game.
Or, really, just contrast the Wendy Carlos score with the Daft Punk one. The original is majestic swoops through a digital dreamscape, not jitterbug pop for robot dancers.
