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.

    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
