Predict "The Avengers" Metacritic Grade:
http://www.metacritic.com/movie/the-avengers-2012
This has to be a separate thread since Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes have totally different grading systems. Besides, a lot of people here in SHH have reasons for following Metacritic over Rotten Tomatoes.
If you want to get a gauge of how Metacritic has ranked comic book movies since the year 2000...
Top 10 Best rated Marvel/DC comic book movie of 2000:
83% = Spider-Man 2
82% = The Dark Knight
79% = Iron Man
73% = Spider-Man
72% = Batman Begins
70% = Superman Returns
68% = X-Men 2: United
66% = Captain America: The First Avenger
65% = X-Men: First Class
64% = X-Men
Top 10 Worst rated Marvel/DC comic book movie of 2000:
27% = Catwoman
30% = Punisher War Journal
32% = Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
33% = Jonah Hex
33% = The Punisher
34% = Elektra
35% = Ghost Rider
39% = Green Lantern
40% = Fantastic Four
42% = Daredevil
For those not familiar with the grading system, the difference between the 2 is that Rotten Tomatoes has a thumbs up/down grading system, so they're scores are "based on their interpretation". In other words a critic giving a film 2.5 out of 5 stars although 50% (considered "Rotten") could still be considered "Fresh" in Rotten Tomatoes' eyes based on their interpretation. See some reviews like Green Lantern and you will see a number of 2.5 out of 5 stars almost deniably considered "Fresh" more so than not.
But in terms of Metacritic, they actually give a number to a critic's review so 2.5 out of 5 would be given a 50% score automatically no matter what the the interpretation of the reviewer says.
