Aquaman's Critical Reception Thread (Rotten Tomato and Metacritic)

[harlequinade]

I don't trust RT anymore, after Crimes of Grindelwald.

 

[THORin]

Haha, I was waiting for that response

Patty Jenkins and James Wan both should be in control of the DCEU from now on

This, yes - this I could see, and I would love it!

 

[harlequinade]

I'm watching Wan's Insidious 2 rn - and it's piece of trash with the most obnoxious music cues in history of horror lol - and yet it managed 39% on RT. So....I'm not sure where I am going with this but hopefully Aquaman does twice this

Well, Walter Hamada is the man that oversaw James Wan's the conjuring universe. Warner Brothers rewarded him by giving him the keys to the DCEU universe. So it looks like its Wan's camp that is taking things over which means there will be a few more Wan movies I'm guessing as well as other directors. Patty for sure will still be aboard that ship as I am sure everyone loves her.

And yet expected of them

So far the reception seems good enough for a majority of fresh reviews unless the critics decide they are just too serious to give fresh review to a movie where octopus plays drums

I mean...they gave fresh reviews to a movie where an ant plays drums so I dont see why not lmao.

Don't tempt me to point out the obvious difference.

Don't tempt me

What movie was that? Antman? Sorry I have not seen all the Superhero films. I am actually very selective because there are way too many out there.

Still don't understand how AM&TW got an 88% on RT but to each it's own. I finally watched it the other day and it was a very generic/filler CBM. Nothing in the movie blew me away

Starts with 85/100 on Critics Choice.

that one actually gave BvS 82 or something, then it all went to poop lol

now BvS is on 62 on that. i remember comparing it to Winter Soldier which was 86 or 88/100

Get outta here with your facts, man

 

[Iceman]

Still better than getting 32/100 with Critic’s Choice. Good start!

 

[harlequinade]

We don't know of course how many reviews that is. Could be just one. MPR just got a similar start there.And it's probably getting LOTS of Golden Globes nominations in about 2h

 

[RomanticPenguin]

never understood people complaining about RT scores between 1-99

you either agree it should be a 0 or 100 if you liked or didn't......right?

average rating is a different story though

It's more than one, it went up

 

[harlequinade]

Oooh up to 86 indeed !

When does the tomato meter reveal drop? Is it the same day of the embargo or a day or two after?

 

[harlequinade]

I think the day after the embargo is lifted

 

[-Arya-]

I assumed it would be day of embargo lifting. 1 day won’t make a difference anyway

 

[Spider-Fan]

When does the embargo lift?

When does the embargo lift?

Tomorrow
