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

[dhandler01]

RT isn't easy on my phone right now, but I do see 79 reviews with 1 more fresh.
Can someone confirm it? Because if that's true then we already have 60 fresh out of 79 CMIIW, and that mean even if the next one is rotten, we're still have Certified Fresh in hand.

So I am guessing that they are either waiting until the 80th review comes in or they are holding a bit because more are coming down the pike. I gotta say using 80 as a marker is kind of dumb when many of these films see upwards of 350+ reviews.

That said bring on the Certified Fresh

Yes, waiting for the 80th and if Claude_Speed is on the money then we might must wait a bit to be deemed worthy.
Which is maybe quite hard because we're skirting at the edge constantly.

Anyway, breath freely folks. Now we're in the position that even the 80th is rotten we still... A-qualify.
Ba dum tss

That's automatic, the code refreshes all icons after few minutes, we have to wait for that.

Apparently not.
It'll be automatically flagged for RT staff's consideration.
Thanks to an internet user who screenshot some RT rules.

 

[dhandler01]

That makes more sense to be honest. I mean 80 reviews is a rather low number when it comes to these types of films.

 

[geosphere]

well geez all the time we spent lol!

 

[Micromind]

Almost all DC movies get more than 250 reviews !

 

[dhandler01]

Hey it killed lots of time!

I have a feeling we wont hear anything for a few days. Mass amounts of reviews will come in this weekend and early next week from the States. Lets keep holding pace though because the longer this goes the less likely things ever tank. (I am cynical I cant help it)

micro,

They usually have 350+

There's someone on Reddit that allegedly managed to take a screenshot (he did posted the said pic prove) of Aquaman's Certified Fresh logo but RT gets wonky and it's gone after refresh.
But let's wait and see if that actually true, bug, or else.

RT gets wonky like that to me ALL THE TIME! It makes me laugh!

 

[Silver Surfer]

It's at 81 reviews and 75% but no certified fresh, what gives?

83 reviews 76%... but we just found this out:

Apparently not.

So it looks like we won't see a certification for a while considering DC films typically get a couple hundred plus reviews.

Looks like some international press is getting their reviews in. A couple in Spanish and the Times. (UK)

And still no CF stamp. The RT folks are waiting for it to go down even more so not to give it one. Conspiracy theory number 201.

After witnessing first hand how amazing, mind blowing, grandiose and entertaining this movie was... I feel free from rt, metacritic and all that. To me, it truly doesnt matter anymore. Trailers made a promise, and the film fulfilled it. I cant wait for everyone to see it!!
