The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Rotten Tomatoes score? - Part 4

[XtremelyBaneful]

is it just me or did they change the site consensus (not the percentages but the sentence summary) to something less favorable?

They did. It used to say something positive stemming from "Marc Webb's confident directing" or something along those lines. In other words, a complete fabrication.

Critics' views and opinions on comic book movies have changed a lot over the years. If Spider-Man 3 was released today, it would get a rotten rating.

Anyways, audiences seem to generally like it, and that's usually what I pay attention to.

It's not like "normal people" are going to skip a Spider-man film based on a rotten tomatoes score...

When it was released it got one. It's only getting more positive than negative reviews now.

Maybe, but less than MOS, Thor2 or Cap2:

...following the franchise's lowest Rotten Tomatoes score to-date (54 percent as of Saturday morning), the film received a concerning "B+" CinemaScore. By comparison, Thor: The Dark World and Man of Steel each received an "A-". Likewise, the pic's Flixster score is at an underwhelming 76 percent this morning (the Thor sequel was hovering around 86 percent on the Saturday following its release).

And that's not good for Spidey nor Sony.

Actually, a lot probably will. There has been a history of underperforming films with bad Tomatometers. And it appears to be happening with this film too, judging by the early box office returns.

[The Joker]

The audience % has dropped to 75....

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

The audience % has dropped to 75....

I think it's going to go lower and lower as more people see the film.

I find it funny how Sony was supposedly "confident" when concerning this movie, yet were extremelly worried with the last. The latter had performed better than the former in almost every way possible, kind of makes me wonder what Sony values in these movies to spark their confidence.

It can be a meta allusion to his battle of reputation among moviegoers.

Your guess is as good as mine. The vast tonal shift between this one and the last does make one wonder.

Heh. If it is anything, it's probably that.

 

[FlawlessVictory]

I have found myself generally agreeing with RT scores for a lot of CB movies with two huge exceptions: MOS and now TASM 2.

I liked TASM 2 a lot and give it an 8/10.

 

[Angryfantasyfan]

I don't know, I think the audience score might go up. lowered expectations and all.

The audience score would be lower right now had people who voted 10/10 and didn't see the movie not voted. People were voting before they had seen the movie. Now that people are seeing the movie and actually reviewing it, it's going down. Same thing happens with the early critic reviews. Movie studios want positive early reviews so they have some critics in bed with them. Same thing happens with everything concerning reviews (video games being another huge example). Once everyone gets their hands on it, it goes down.

Dude that goes both ways, I read plenty of 0 reviews before the movie had even released so that's not the reason.

 

[chaseter]

It does go both ways but one side is a little more feverish about the reviews than the other. The poll here showed that before it was closed down. People here were voting 10/10 before press screenings across the pond. One side is a little more "crazy" than the other. That is the fanboy. There are more 10/10 reviews than 0/10 reviews before it opened up in the first country. You can count for yourself.

Futhermore, if more trolls voted 0/10 than fanboys voting 10/10, the average score would have been going up as people are being fair now since actually seeing the film. The bottom line is, this movie is going down in audience score because it's not a good movie and it was being pumped up before hand.

With the direction of the economy these days, it's not like people will just throw their money away. They'll probably look up reviews and determine whether it's enough justification to spend their cash to watch ASM2.

The only people that hated this are critics and Internet fanboys. A good majority of the GA liked the movie. I see it twice now and both times it was a sold out crowd and applause at the end.

Yeah...that's what's said every time this happens.

That explains the box office.

The reception to the movie will be decided next week once WOM becomes up and running. If it falls like a brick than I imagine WOM is quite bad.

It was 85 on Monday
