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 was referring more towards the fridge nuking scene, but then again, this is the same series that has tubing down a mountain from an airplane.

I actually like the alien reveal, and it's telegraphed throughout the movie, so it's not like it comes out of nowhere like some people claim. I also think it ties in well with the villain's mysticism as well. With the nazi's hunting for the arc or the holy grail made sense because Hitler and other members of the SS were obsessed holy relics and did dabble in trying to evoke divine powers. The Soviet Union on the other hand was mostly secular, but was experimenting in psychic manipulation and thought control all the way up until the 80s. Meanwhile the whole space race between the US and USSR breathed a fascination in extra terrestrials very similarly to the phase Americans went through. So having a psychic obsessed villain trying to seek out alien artifacts that could unlock those abilities makes sense.
