Lets speculate X-Men: Apocalypse's Rotten Tomatoes rating!

Right now, I think it will get a fresh rating but Certified Fresh, I'm not sure yet.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Where does everyone think the score will settle?

Around mid 50's. Remember I suck at predicting these things though. Lol

 

[MarvelU]

I think between 50 - 70. If the next round of reviews are more positive. Although if I remember RT, one rotten review can bring down score fast.

 

[JP]

If it can get higher than 55% I'd be happy...

 

[Jaxon]

It'll end up about 25%.

Superhero fatigue is real now. These movies need to have great stories that matter. This one is a toilet bowl to the GA.

 

[kineticist]

I kinda doubt that..

Short memory?

Eh, if Cyclops finally gets a fair break I will watch it no matter what.

Literally every movie we get superhero fatigue comments. Even when Deadpool was a success people were saying it was because it was an anti-superhero movie. Don't tell me with a straight face we're getting superhero fatigue when Civil War will probably have a billion in the bag by next week.

 

[Mad Ones]

I think fatigue means that we'll see less and less "heroes fight villains" movies. I'm really interested in how Doctor Strange does critically. Unless they go all out with magic it might get critiques of being "generic" and "formulaic" like Apocalypse has been getting. We'll see how audiences respond to the formula.

Captain America: Civil War has grossed almost $1 billion dollars in a damn week. A WEEK!!!!!!!!

"Superhero Movie Fatigue" my ass.

You wanna know what people and critics are "fatigued" over? Lame, generic, lazy comic book movies. Two dimensional click-bait films like Fant4stic, Batman Vs. Superman and other half-baked, dull schemes. The standards have been set VERY high now and what studios got away with in the early 2000s ain't cutting it anymore.

You are basing this on what exactly? Apocalypse is not being called generic and formulaic because a hero is taking on a villain.

While I agree with your sentiment, Civil War hasn't passed 800m WW yet, and it has been out overseas for 2 weekends most places.

Round it up. You know what I meant.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Another year another unsubstantiated claim of Superhero fatigue. If you keep crying that the sky is falling eventually you will be right.

I think some critics have generic Bryan Singer X-Men movie fatigue.

I'm beginning to think superhero fatigue is for everyone but Marvel. MCU has become its own thing like Pixar.

So why should I care about these non Pixar animated movies is what animation studios have to contend with. You can't come with basic stories that Marvel is doing much better and in a universe audiences are invested in.

Suicide Squad, Aquaman, Wonder Woman are okay on paper.

Flash better be something interesting.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Fatigue only sets in when you make crappy movies. Stop making crappy movies.

Jesus, Deadpool just made 750m, Civil War will pass a billion soon, even the horrible BvS movie made it to 850m. Why do people say such strange things?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Round it up. You know what I meant.

The correct answer is, you didn't know the numbers.

 

[Mad Ones]

Based on the popularity of Deadpool, Civil War, and Suicide Squad, none of which seem to be popular for their hero vs.villain match-ups, but instead for their slant on the genre. Of course Suicide Squad hasn't come out yet so that's speculation.

Disney and the Despicable Me franchise do just fine.

Why can't people just wait for the fatige to happen? Why do I have to hear about it every year?

This makes no sense. Outside of Loki, what villains are popular in the MCU that aren't on television? And they have been the biggest show in town since Nolan "retired".

By the way, lot of love and praise for the television villains in the MCU. Considered the draw by many.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

The correct answer is, you didn't know the numbers.

Or...you don't know how to round them up.

 

[Mad Ones]

The concern for fatigue keeps the genre fresh.
