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 actually like:

  • Hackers (31%)
  • National Treasure (46%)
  • Bandits (64%)

Hackers, absolute gold! People like to crap all over it because it's not realistic, but the vibe of it really fits the hacking scene. Another similar movie, that has some pretty cool hacking vibe, but people also crap all over is Swordfish, 26% tomatoes, 59% audience.

almost no movie has realistic hacking, but i always thought "Hackers" was pretty spot on (for example with the phone phreaking, social engineering). When i think about movies with unrealistic hacking scenes the following come to mind:

  • "The Core" has a scene where "rat" whistles into a mobile phone to get free long distance calls (wrong time period)
  • in "Skyfall" they look through a hex dump and find non-hex characters
