Guardians of the Galaxy GOTG critics review/Rotten Tomatoes discussion

[Wrath]

Its actually not that bad off. 16 straight positive reviews in a row and it'll be back to 90%. It may not quite do that, but if it gets close it'll probably slowly drift up to 90% as the rest of the reviews trickle in (which tend to be a little kinder than average).

 

[Son of Coul]

Travers's official review is finally up - even more enthusiastic than the vid. Gave it 3.5/4

Marvel has really, really spoiled us but good, LOL, if we're all deflated over a high 80's RT percentage.

It would've been nice for a third MCU film to remain in the 90's but I guess it was too much to ask for a movie as strange as GotG.

 

[LucDisfilm19]

It's now 90/103 on RT.

 

[Ghostcrow13]

Man it seems every 4 or 5 fresh there is a rotten one today

 

[MahvelBaby!]

Damn US reviewers :P

 

[JC00]

This one made me laugh.

It's like the silly, superhero-loving kids goofing off in the back of the classroom looked at The Avengers and X-Men and declared, "Hey, how hard can it be to save the world? Let's do it too!"

 

[Ghostcrow13]

Yeh so up themselves 'i'm smart everyone else is dumb this film is dumb blah blah blah'

 

[Perry9]

My guess is high 70s to low 80s. As history has proven, most CBMs take a dip once they enter the U.S.

 

[MarvelU]

This one made me laugh.

I would pay to watch such a film.

 

[MarvelU]

Reviews are flying in now. Already at 108.

 

[Webfoot Hero]

Up to 95/108 now. If we take the average number of reviews the 3 big Marvel property films got (235,) we're not even halfway done yet. Still don't see GotG dropping below 80 unless there's some big wave of negatives, which I think is a pretty big longshot at this point with how reviews are going.

 

[marcvader]

Still above my prediction so I'm good.

 

[Joeyjojo72]

I predicted 83% so I'm sitting pretty.

 

[Quasimod0]

And I chose 70-75%, so I'm happy. lol

 

[Erzengel]

So wait, if this finishes in the 80s or higher, TASM2 will be considered arguably the worst CBM of 2014? Yikes.

Ummm, there's still TMNT.

 

[Quasimod0]

And Transformers. Which has like 17 percent

 

[TalismanRing]

It would only have to be finish 54% or higher for that.

I think with the number of reviews and the general avg that it won't slip below mid 80s.

 

[Erzengel]

I'm aware of TMNT's comic origins and I think even if you wanted to argue TF being a comic book, you'd still have once THE comic franchise only better than 2 Michael Bay movies.

 

[Perry9]

Correct me if i'm wrong but Transformers is not based on a comic book, therefore it's not a CBM.

[Wrath]

Still at 88%, but its *exactly* 1 Fresh review away from ticking up to 89% (it was at like 88.495% or something).

But the time has finally come for to judge it for myself. Dinner and a a flick my older daughter. Should be fun.

 

[Ghostcrow13]

Now it needs 10 to get back to 90% :P

 

[Erzengel]

It's at 89% now with 101 out of 114. It'll need another 10 positives to be at 90%.
