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 like the Han Solo Movie. They fucking NAILED the character, and they took a LOT of inspiration from legends, and it shows! I think the only reason people dislike the movie is because Han Solo himself wasn't played by Harrison Ford, which uh, duh, of course he wasn't. He doesn't even like the character!

I had friends saying things like the movie had ho reason to exist be abuse it wasn't advancing the overarching story of the franchise. I really enjoyed Solo and loved the ending, showing Han is a cold mf and definitely shot first

I didn't like it because I wanted Rogue One to be a heist movie, and it wasn't, so then I wanted this to be a heist movie, and it wasn't and now I'm kinda thinking I'm never getting a Star Wars heist movie. 😔

You need to drop everything and watch Andor right now.

I mostly liked it, but it did one thing I dislike in prequel movies: attempt to explain everything. It isn't quite as bad as the train chase from Indiana Jones and the last crusade which tries to explain all of Indy's quirks and wardrobe choices in a 10 minute scene... But that felt like the gist of the movie to me.
