Rotten Tomatoes Watch thread

I'm not surprised this is on the lower end, but I am a bitter Wanda fan.

 

I'd be surprised if Wakanda Forever scored higher than the first BP. That movie was lightning in a bottle. Plus, I think the loss of Boseman is going to really be felt. Not to mention the production problems reported.

On the other hand, I can see The Marvels being seen as an improvement over the first film. Nia DaCosta strikes me as an upgrade over Borden and Fleck.

 

Yeah.

MOM is one of those films in which the GA seems to think is "fine ", " Solid" and "okay", but that alot of people in fandom think is " excellent" and "great" relatively speaking.

 

That's surprising......I would have never guessed.

 

Yeah, the issue is not "Do a lot of people use IMDB", the issue is "How much effort does IMDB exert to make sure that their user rating presents useful, accurate information". The answer sadly being "Even less than most other internet polls, by like a lot". At least RT puts a *little* effort into ensuring that each account belongs to a single distinct human being.

 

They're all about as trustworthy as each other IMO.

In almost all cases I generally think the user rating of films on these sorts of websites are closer to my own than the actual critical score which I find to be even more unreliable.

 

I like to average the audience score with the critic score to get the most accurate rating.

 

Inaccurate. Avengers: Endgame scored higher than Avengers. Thor: Ragnarok scored higher than Thor and Thor: The Dark World. No Way Home scored better than Homecoming.

 

Well, when you say, "For MCU ips, the only ones that scored higher than their 1st movie are Captain America and Ant-Man," that inherently implies films other than the second installment.

Regardless, even if it's restricted to just Captain America and Ant-Man, that shows it's possible. Also, we are talking about how a group of critics, not all of whom are like-minded, view a film. Not to mention, it's probably not always the same ones reviewing all the films.

I think the more pertinent data is that when you look at the collective MCU, most of the films received favorable to positive reviews. Considering the timing, and amount of films, it's a fairly strong track record.

 

Better in terms of fans or critics though?
