Civil War Civil War Rotten Tomatoes Thread - Part 2

If Disney released a Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, Animated and a Live Action Animated remake each year, they'd be set. They wouldn't even need another franchise.

Looking at WB's top movies this year is BvS, Tarzan, SS and Fantastic Beasts. They really can't afford for one to be a stinker.

Personally, I don't think SS, Tarzan, and Fantastic Beasts are sure fire hits. The biggest question mark is probably Tarzan, since I don't think live action Tarzan movie has been successful for a long time.

 

[StormC]

Fantastic Beasts will be fine. SS, I'm on the fence about. Tarzan looks pretty bad.

 

[Silver Surfer]

Tarzan is a disaster waiting to happen.

SS has an uphill climb after the toxic stench of BvS, even if it is a good movie.

Fantastic Beasts will kill it at the box office.

I think it would take a shift in expectations for the genre. TDK was probably the biggest movie of the 2000s in terms of impact and resonance it had within pop culture. The genre is much more saturated now compared to 2008.

Well, perhaps in terms of the impact a single movie could have, yes. But Iron Man also came out that summer and we can now look back on that film which birthed the MCU and created the shared universe model of blockbuster film making which is now dominant as the bigger landmark film. Probably the single biggest landmark film of the 21st century so far. It didn't just start a new trend but instead heralded a new age of blockbuster movie making. Not since SW: ANH back in 1977 or Jaws in 1975(one started the blockbuster concept and the other the blockbuster trilogy idea) has there been a bigger shift in Hollywood.

Fantastic Beasts is a Harry Potter movie without Harry Potter. I'm not sure it's going to "kill it" at the box office without Potter. Besides, Dr. Strange will be released 2 weeks in advance and it might cut into FB's box office.

Of course Arsemond white didn't like it.

44 out of 50 Top Critics have liked it.

Of course Arsemond white didn't like it.

"The trivializing has grabbed such hold that when a genuine pop artist like Zack Snyder deepens comics lore into visionary, moral art (the profound Man of Steel and Batman v Superman), many fanboys, and critics, react with anger, resentment — and ignorance.

I actually prefer that he doesn't; he's a lousy critic.

[PokeJ]

Freaking 30 negative reviews. Did not see that coming. Started with basically 1 review for a long time. Some of these critics are real *****.

 

[LucDisfilm19]

264-30

 

[Ctfxcwatcher]

I wonder how many negatives TWS and Avengers 1 have.

 

[Erzengel]

29 out of 256 and 25 and 305 for TWS and Avengers respectively.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Dang.
Bring in more positive reviews please.

 

[docdoc]

It will break 90 and fall to the 80~90 range. But I don't think it will drop below 87, hopefully it will stays above 88 though.

 

[Mjölnir]

That's an extremely good turnout for a movie that's as spectacularly comic booky like this one is at times.

 

[kedrell]

I've heard tons of people regard TWS as the best CBM ever and that isn't even in the 90%'s on RT. Relax.

 

[Iceman]

It will break 90 and fall to the 80~90 range. But I don't think it will drop below 87, hopefully it will stays above 88 though.

Civil War? Anything below 89 is not likely now with most of the reviews already in.

 

[Spiderdevil]

Just looked at Apocalypse RT, YIKES!

 

[JOE]

Don't think it's going to stay in the 90's. 88 or 89 is my guess, I still have a feeling another 3-5 rotten reviews will stab this movie in the back. Oh well, it's in the 90's for the important part, if it drops now it doesn't really matter.

LMAO, is that review serious or satire?

Poe's law holds for movie reviews as well it seems. Many of the honest defenses of BvS are so aggrandized that there is honestly no way to parody them without being perceived as serious. All the significantly bad reviews of Civil War I've seen so far have been from people who strongly feel the need to compare it unfavourably to BvS.

Personally, "genuine" is the last adjective I'd ever use to describe Zack Snyder. All style, no substance.
