I need to see that one again.
I did re-watch "Brazil" again recently.

Fantastic film! Classic farce isn't an appreciated genre anymore.

What?! I love that movie! "Fenuccis, sit!"

I suspect it's more a comment on the accuracy of rating sites.
However, my kid was born in 2001, so most movies I've seen since 2000 have been kids movies, so not many would have really low ratings anyway.

I dunno, Frozen[^] has a rating of 90%, and I suspect most parents would have voted it considerably lower after the 90th repeat of that damn song ...

Right, so find a low-rated kid's movie? Ever?
|

What is better? To have high or low %tomatoes?
Edit:
I liked The Titan (2018) - Rotten Tomatoes[^] would it count?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Not sure - it looks like "straight to video" stock and the XKCD doesn't specify.
It it a movie if it never saw a cinema? Not sure it is, technically.

I think the qualifier in this case would be "Something everyone hates". If it's unknown, not everyone can hate it.
Mine was going to be "Age of the Hobbits". But I liked it because it was so bad. As a matter of fact, it was so bad that it got sued[^] and had to change its name to "Clash of Empires"[^].

I thought Sharknado but even that got 82%

That's the problem - you think "nobody else can have liked that!" and find out just about everyone did!
I guess it's easy to hate Justin Bieber, but not so easy to like Nickleback ...

I think that Duke Nukem Forever is actually a decent game. Sure, it gained a lot with the inventory increasing update not present at launch but in it's current state, it's very much enjoyable.

But not a movie ...
... and horribly "on rails" at times, which was one of the really good bits about the original. It wasn't on rails!

The challenge isn't about a movie as much as it's about liking something universally hated. Movies are just more of a mainstream culture than video games are.

You don't see the forest for the trees. The superficial details are different all right, but the underlying psychological mechanism is the same. Generalisation is an important skill, tons of stupid stuff happens when people fail to see analogies between a current situation and exactly the same (albeit with a different coating) having happened in the past.

Normally I do, but ... Rotten Tomatoes is the specific site for comparison here, and it doesn't rate games. So any games included wouldn't have the same range of results as the movies.
Following your logic, I quite liked the Mercedes A Class series 1 (despite it driving like a roller skate) but it was unpopular with reviewers due to the "moose test". Should that count?
When you are given a specific set of limitations you have to keep within, them is the rules and them is what you have to stick to!

Replace Rotten Tomatoes with Jim Sterling's "Direct to video" series and it's the same again. Different coating, same shape underneath.

Not difficult at all! Had Sucker Punch immediately at top of my head, and easliy ticked all the boxes!
|
|
|
|
|
That was a nice movie with a great soundtrack!
|
|
|
|
|
Totally agreed. Love the movie - watched at least three times! And White Rabbit is amazing!
|
|
|
|
|
White Rabbit was cool, but Tomorrow Never Knows is my favorite (I even like this version better than that of The Beatles) 
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah love Tomorrow Never Knows as well! You know what, you're right, the whole OST is brilliant.

The closest I got was "The secret life of Walter Mitty" (2013, with Ben Stiller) at 51%. I liked that movie so much I was genuinely shocked when I discovered its Rotten Tomatoes score.

|
|
|
The Great Wall, 2017, 36%.
