The Sub 10% Club

Discussion of those films receiving less than 10% of Rotten Tomatoes.

So far, Paul Blart, Mall Cop 2 is getting a big fat 0%.

This is as close to a Spinal Tap-esque "shit sandwich" review as you can come.

I've seen The Number 23, which has an 8%. I know at least three other people who like it, so it can't have been that bad... right?

I didn't mind it. A lot of people harp on the 23 numerology, which is bullshit, but the movie was really about obsession. The number itself wasn't that important but that's all people ever seem to talk about.

Also, probably best to wait before there's a decent number of reviews before bringing up the RT score. Yeah, I doubt the next 90 reviews are going to be positive and launch this to like 90% fresh, but it could ultimately average out to 20%, 45%, or 71% for all we know.

There was no critical screening for Paul Blart Mall Cop 2, so I'm sure it's not cracking 5%, let alone 10.

The Number 23 was a great movie, I don't get what someone could hate about it.

Variety review: "Nothing aired by Wiki Leaks could possibly be more destructive to Sony’s reputation than the release of “Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2,” the sort of movie that goes beyond mere mediocrity to offer possible evidence of a civilization in decline."

Update: Paul Blast Mall Cop 2 remains at 0% with 37 reviews in.

I just realized, why doesn't this count as a complaint thread?

If people talk about them and point out the flaws, instead of bitching about them, it'll be safe.

If people don't, this gets a lock. Simples.

This is more of a Bad Movie Lovers thread :p

Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 holding steady at 0%.

Has anyone gone out and seen this yet?

I'm not sure anyone wants to.

I've seen Taken 3, which has 9%. It's not very good, but it's not that bad, I'd give it two stars out of five personally. I can't really think of anything else that scores below ten that I've seen.

What was the criticism of Taken 3? Wash, rinse, repeat?

Pretty much, yeah.

Olivier Megaton couldn't direct a movie to save his life, it's PG-13 so the action scenes are a jumbled mess, and the plot is utter bollocks (a bag of warm bagles is a major plot point). So it's definetly bad, but it's not the kind of unwatchable trash that merits such a low score. Liam Neeson elevates the movie a bit, as usual, and it's okay-ish as popcorn fun.

Olivier Megaton? With that name, one thinks he'd do a more interesting job.

Liam Neesom is usually competent, even in a weak movie.

Taken 3's existence is fully justified because it gave us this beautiful tune

Two people gave Paul Blart 2 a positive review. It's now 4%.

Little Boy is a new movie at 14%. It's one of the rare serious drama films that's getting blasted, which means it's more likely to drop as the weeks go by.

Hot Pursuit currently at 7%.

Heh, the URL giving away that it would be called Don't Mess With Texas in 2014.

I know. I was confused when posting the link.

United Passions has a 0%, and I doubt that'll ever change, unless someone calls it a comedy.

Human Centipede 3 has a 1%.

There's a third one?!

Yup. In case you're curious, here's a review by Brad Jones.
