[Ita-KalEl]

A new (?) very positive review:

Tomatometer is now 87%, going up again...

 

[MR. MOVIEMAN]

There two negatives

and the rest are split between B and A

 

[MoreCowbell]

Curious.. 15/17 is 88.2% yet RT has 87%. How do you screw up simple math?

 

[Cinemaman]

Still 6.9

It´s 88% now, Superman is flying again!

 

[GarudA]

Its now down to 82%

What are the qualifications to get a review on RT? Theres tons in the review thread tht don't seem to make it.

 

[Captain Kirk]

Have any of you read the user comments about SR on RT? Dude, seriously there are some dumbasses posting there. I mean one guy, who I am sure has not seen the movie gave it a ZERO because the cast was wrong in his words. WTF? Then another wiseass decides to make a point by giveing SR a ZERO. The same dude gave Crap-Men 3 a 10. I will make a point to post there after I have actually SEEN the film! Those asses piss me off.

Yea, they're a pain in the ass

Rottentomatoes has a new negative review, but in all honesty I hate it because the critic obviously doesn't give two ****s about the movie and just likes to use pseudo-intelectual phrases.

 

[echostation]

82 percent now... this movie's going dowwwnnnnn

 

[Captain Kirk]

82 percent now... this movie's going dowwwnnnnn

It is darkest just before the Dawn! Superman Will rise!

 

[LadyVader]

82 percent now... this movie's going dowwwnnnnn

3 negative reviews from people that are obviously biased hardly mean anything. It's the negative reviews from people that are actually fans of the character that we should care about.

 

[Cinemaman]

I hope next week will give it more percents

73% from users? Thats cool, but still a bit low.

 

[LadyVader]

Even so, why is everybody complaining that 82% is not enough? Batman Begins had 83% and it achieved that with a much stronger and well known cast.

Yeah I know, but 82% is still low for SR. It need more than 85%.

 

[LadyVader]

Is that a new law or something? In the end all that really matters is what the fans feel.

Fans have worries about success of this movie, criticaly and in box office.

Fans have worries about success of this movie, criticaly and in box office.

But the question is, why? LadyVader is referring to the most important aspect of a movie is personal enjoyment of said movie. Critical and financial success is only important for lame fanboy wars and pissing contests. I mean, what happens if you hate the movie and it goes on to make billions worldwide? If you hate the movie, does the financial success really matter to you?

 

[LadyVader]

I understand that, and it is okay for us to worry cause we care about the character more then the average movie goer. But we should not set standards like this
"Oh, it has to reach 85%!"
Because you don't know what is going to happen. And film critique is not an exact science. 85% is just a number. You can't put a number on the heart of a movie, on what it makes you feel.
If you're worried about future movies, then don't worry. The producers of this film only listen to their dead friends on the dollar bills.

You see, if you have your own opinion, it is fine. But dont you worry about success of movie, which you have been waited since 80s?

 

[LadyVader]

Why is rottentomates so pivotal for Superman Returns' succes? It is just a site which I doubt is frequented by everybody that goes to the movies.

The succes of a movie is ultimately measured in money. And if the fans are going to like it, which I'm sure is what will happen, it will make lots and lots of money!

Dont think I have no wories about storylines, acting and etc. My openion is based on what I saw.

But imagine if movie, which you have been waited since 80s, will bomb and get only negative reviews, what then?

This movie will not have succes and there will be no sequels.

Rottentomatoes is "important" because its basically just takes a whole crapload of reviews form every reviewer who has any kind of cred (and some with shakier cred than Bob Doles hand) and they compile it all together into ratings...if that makes any sense...

Money means sequels and as I said success.
