Black Panther's ROTTEN TOMATOES thread

[Kuwolski]

I can’t think of any other group of people. I don’t think people are at this stage now where they’re debating whether they will see the movie or not. I think people have made up their minds by now.

Yeah, good news is people will know what's up and RT will take heat for it's second "coincidence" after TLJ.

A few reviewers have said the action is great so there's that also.

I'm not sure why this one reviewer's opinion trumps all others.

First of all, I'm not saying or implying that this reviewers opinion trumps all other reviewers opinions. I'm just saying that if a superhero movie doesn't have a lot of action in it and is a mostly talking heads borefest, that it is a deal breaker for me.

Secondly, saying that the "action is great" DOES NOT mean that there is a "lot of action" or "long action sequences" in the film. A film could have the best damn action scenes in the entire history of cinema, but all of those action scenes combined could add up to about 10 to 20 minutes out of a 2 hour movie (which was the case for the first X-MEN movie). That being said (and for the sake of fairness), this movie could have a lot of action in it, but not enough action scenes showing BP punching and kicking bad guys, which seems to be what that critic with the "negative" review seemed to be complaining about. Heck, Priest even said that that Dora Milaje got all of the best fight scenes in the film.

Yeah, I guess anything can be a dealbreaker depending on the person.

For some people BP not punching enough dudes in the face overshadows everything else the movie has to offer.

I find that kind of silly when people have so much to rave about but different strokes...

No disrespect intended, but so what. Who cares what the RT score is? Despite what Hollywood studios want to believe and/or use as a scapegoat for their films flopping at the box office, the RT score doesn't have any bearing on whether or not most people will go see a movie. IMO, an actual review (especially a spoiler review) has a much greater chance of influencing people on their decision to go see a movie or not, but even that influence is very low and doesn't have nearly the effect on movie attendance as some people think. Hell, the only reason why I'm even checking out this thread is to see what the critic who gave this film a "negative" RT score was complaining about and to respond to those who responded to my posts. Other then that, I could care less.

Pretty much. Heck, that was one of the major online complaints that I heard about the recent POWER RANGERS movie was that there wasn't enough PR action and that the team didn't suit up and fight the bad guys until the last half hour of the film. I finally saw the PR movie a few weeks ago and I actually (to my surprise) enjoyed the movie despite not being a huge PR fan (I couldn't sit through any entire episode of the first several seasons of the TV series) and having no great desire to watch it. I didn't even mind that they didn't all fully suit up and fight Rita until the last 30 minutes of the film since there were other action scenes in the film that kept me entertained and because I found all of the characters interesting (unlike their TV original TV versions).

Um, people absolutely check RT.

Even casual moviegoers know what RottenTomatoes is these days.

In fact, not long ago studios were complaining about Rotten Tomatoes hurting ticket sales.

 

[SpocksBrain]

At this point I'm more interested as to what the audiences score will be on RT. Since these incredible reviews have been released, less people now (by 3%) want to see the film then before. That could be a dry run for these spiteful BP attackers.

Why? Audience scores are a totally bogus metric. Basically meaningless.

 

[Kuwolski]

Not meaningless enough for them to be alongside the critics ratings on RT. Or For RT to issue a statement after the FB group threatened to hijack the score. It's not completely meaningless. It has much more credibility then imdb, which most people understand is a bridge for trolls with zero moderation.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

No it isn't. RT audience score lets you vote before the movie is even out. This is how you get incredibly high ratings for movies like BVS because thousands of people already gave it a perfect score before the movie came out.

Due to the reality that people with agendas actively work to tank or boost a score, the “internet voting” audience score is now hot garbage. Period.

Not even worth acknowledging.

 

[Kuwolski]

Then let's hope it's on the way out.

 

[AlluAllu]

Ah, the boring review weekend, during which we can expect like 5 new reviews.

 

[Darkraid]

100% rating is going to create stupidly high expectations. I'll be happy if it stayed at 90%.

The only real number I care about is the box office number. A fresh rating will help that. Something in the 80%-100% range is fine with me.

The way I see it it's going to stay in the 90s. Question is, is it gonna be high 90s or low 90s. I'd say at least higher than Thor Ragnarok.

You shouldn't base your decision on whether or not to see a film based on the RT score. If a movie looks good to you, go see it. If you are unsure on whether or not if you should go see it, read spoiler and spoiler free reviews before paying to see a film.

 

[Blade X]

I never said that people didn't check RT. I'm saying that the rating has very little or no effect on most people's decision to see a movie or not. I also said that Hollywood blaming low RT scores for their movies flopping is a BS spin/excuse.

 

[AlluAllu]

It's perfectly reasonable to use Rotten Tomatoes when deciding, if one has found that their enjoyment of the movie aligns with the tomatometer. For me, if a movie has 90 % tomatometer, it is likely that seeing it will be a positive experience. And if it has 40 % tomatometer, I probably would regret spending money on it.

 

[spiderman2]

I wonder when we will start to get around like 150-200 reviews. By then you normally are not going to see more then like a 3-4 point swin. At this point though I think at worst we get a 90. Can it beat dark knight 94 I think it is way to early to say.

Unfortunately, RT has a big effect on people's decisions. Many people see a rotten rating there and simply decide to skip a film at the cinema.

You guys can't expect people to ignore RT when taking your family to the movies cost 50 bucks or more.

Hollywood has to make good movies because people have the resources to make informed decisions.

How is that a bad thing?

I hate this line of logic. Movies are in the eye of the beholder. Critics are not always right. If that was the case, why did I hate TDKR, which scored very high? Or SR? Etc. It's poor logic.
