Touche

And of course the daily news one isn't there yet. Kinda odd they aren't there yet

Yeah, I don't quite understand the science or process at RT, but 2 negative reviews from Buttassdigest seems superfluous. Though I enjoy reading and referring to RT more, at least metacritic.com offers the cream of the crop reviewers, and they look to be more up to date on the top critics as of now.

Well, at least Devin got something right of him being a piece of ****.

Well they don't add based on the site, they add based on the critics. Comingsoon often has three reviews up there for one movie so that's not out of the ordinary. The guys didn't like it, it is what it is. But I think Liam is right in saying that the critics have to submit the stuff themselves

Quote:
The SuperHeroHype forums, from whence the last round of Spider-Man commentary sprang, have an enormously entertaining dedicated thread for early reactions and reviews, which is essentially Butthurt Central peppered with the occasional rational human being. It's like watching the 5 Stages Of Grief being played out in infinite detail, and there's probably a paper in it for someone on the subject.

Within the many thousands of pages of that thread, reviews are graded as follows:
Positive review: reviewer is an outstanding human being who must now be tweet-bombed with congratulations on their taste and fine contribution to the movie's score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Negative review: reviewer is a despicable piece of **** not fit to walk this Earth who obviously has an axe to grind and/or is an agent for forces of un-named darkness and whose review, which they clearly wrote before they saw the movie on account of the aforementioned axe/dark forces, should be excluded from Rotten Tomatoes because they're bringing the score down.

Made me laugh.

I'd love it if DF has read every single syllable written about him here. and if so, hey Devin, your initials also stand for Dumb F*$K

[CConn]

You peopl care way too much about a single dumb reviewer.

You know the best way to make this guy look foolish? Don't give him attention. Because then he'll just look petty for referencing our site and attacking people with opposing views to his.

But quoting his attack and responding with more attacks on him will only give creedence to his view.

I´m just waiting for more reviews after the 3rd and then seeing it myself to make an opinion

Exactly.

But Metacritic can be pretty tricky sometimes with their scores since they base on it weighted average.

[slimshady247]

RT > Metacritic

[Picard Sisko]

Why is he even on RT? So many good reviews that will never make it to RT...

[slimshady247]

Less will make it Metacritic.

[DeathChill]

Eh, Devin was going in not liking it and he didn't disappoint with his review. However, it doesn't matter. We've got a ton of reviews now and we can see that some people love it while others don't like it. At least we know it's not universally bad, unlike other movies.

[Picard Sisko]

At least its not another Green Lantern.

[MessiahDecoy123]

So Devin is saying fanboys attack every critic who hurts their favored movie's RT score?

Yeah it's not like that happens with EVERY movie with a fanbase.

Very true.
