15 Bafflingly High Rotten Tomatoes Scores You Won't Believe

11. Sharknado

Critical Consensus: "Proudly, shamelessly, and gloriously brainless, Sharknado redefines "so bad it's good" for a new generation." Why It's Wrong: The real question here is whether a movie can be given a free pass because it's "so bad it's good". Take Tommy Wiseau's infamously terrible film The Room, which has 33% on Rotten Tomatoes but, due to its perverse entertainment value, up-ends the very notion of review scores as a whole. Should critics give a bad movie a good score if it's funny-bad? Or should they universally pan it? Nobody really seems to know, but Sharknado is absolutely not an 82% movie, even when factoring in irony. Why The Critics Liked It: Granted, the movie only has 17 reviews on the website, and most of these are from critics who were already interested in schlock cinema. Had 200-or-so mainstream critics been forced to review it, the rating would likely sink down to 20 or 30% at most.
