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.

Solo (Star Wars) comes close at 69%. It was absolutely a story that didn't need to be told and I really didn't like them trying to explain everything like, "Here's how Han got his trusty gun, here's how Han got the name "Han Solo", here's how..." blah blah blah, like I really didn't need any of that stuff, BUT I actually liked the movie regardless. It was a low-stakes movie that barely had a hint of any Sith or Jedi, it was just underworld business people doing underworld business things, it was great. Young Harrison Ford was always going to be a huge stretch for anyone, but I thought Alden Ehrenreich carried it well, and Paul Bettany was awesome in his role.

Also, Primer only having a 73% is a goddamn travesty.
