Guardians of the Galaxy GOTG critics review/Rotten Tomatoes discussion

[Spider-Vader]

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

The series has always had some type of ongoing comic though ever since the first cartoon. If the movies were actually good I'd assume they'd take some inspiration from the comics as well as the cartoon.

But at the same time, I agree with you. I count TF/GI Joe/TMNT more as cartoon adaptations rather than comic ones.

 

[TheVileOne]

TMNT comics were around long before the cartoon though. So, it's a comic film.

The movie is definitely based on the show though, so that's why I count it as a cartoon adaptation; if the Turtles were a bit more grim, THEN I'd count it as a CBM.

 

[TheVileOne]

That makes no sense. Does that mean Batman & Robin is not a comic book movie because it was more of an adaptation of Adam West?

 

[marcvader]

It all originates from a comic. I remember it was friggin difficult to get them and therefore super collectable and expensive.

 

[Adversary]

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

300: Rise of an Empire is the worst CBM of 2014.

Also, Sin City has yet to come out too.

 

[Perry9]

That is also correct. I tend to forget that some CBMs aren't about superheroes.

 

[Raiden]

I really hope GOTG will get back to 90%.

 

[Son of Coul]

104/117 for 89%? Sweet.

300: Rise of an Empire is the worst CBM of 2014.

Thats not a comic adaptation. Its all original material.

I agree.

It's best known as an adaptation of a cartoon series.

Though the comics have co-existed with the cartoon since the beginning and even outlasted them.

It is a comic adaption. It's based on the unreleased graphic novel Xerxes.

 

[kosh33]

its up to 106/13 now.. even the WSJ guy gave a positive..

Wich is unreleased, so... But its a moot point anyway.

I dont really.. nah.. i dont know... Bah. Its not important. I concede the CBM status... sort of... Lets not quarrell about that. The only thing i liked about it was Green anyway...

Morgerstern's pretty reasonable with CBMs. I believed he liked Avengers and CATWS. He's a good critic.

I *cannot* wait for what surely will be a stellar review from Armond White. That guy is



Oh, while I liked 300: Rise of an Empire, I didn't like the male lead at all. Would've been awesome to see Eva Green thrown down with Lena Headey. Eva Green killed as Artemisia.

 

[PokeJ]

That top critic rating on rt is looking pretty damn good.

 

[Son of Coul]

Jumped back up to 91%

No, he dissed the avengers as well.. I am sure he has given negatives for every MCU movie until the last two

Really? My Fixster app with RT still says 89%.

 

[QBComics]

Think that 91% is just a glitch, it should be 89 still.

 

[kosh33]

Jumped back up to 91%

really? its still at 89 (109/13)

 

[stlblues84]

Yeah, it's 89% still, but only one fresh review from 90%

 

[SuperSanchez]

[SuperSanchez]

Dont rely on reviews, its your personal opinion!
