Superman (2025) Rotten Tomatoes Thread

[SomeOldGuy]

I don’t think I quite realized how low-key stressed I was until yesterday after the reviews came out and all of a sudden I felt so much lighter and more relaxed. Just a good movie was all I wanted, and praise Rao it appears that’s what we’ve got. It’s going to be a good weekend.

 

[Boom]

Honestly need this to be a box office hit so a certain group of people can be put in their place once and for all. I'm happy for those of you who are well insulated, but for whatever reason my Twitter algorithm is still exposing me to a number of these jokers. Last couple of days have been an experience.

Just mute them as you see them

I've muted 100s of people. I now see very very little of it.

Just gotta be more liberal with that “mute” button my friend. It is the great sanity preserver.

I don't really look at Twitter very much anymore because it is in general a cesspool, however mute/block works an absolute treat.

If an account frequently popped up & they are insufferable with their opinion or criticism I just mute/block them. This in fairness actually works both ways, if your account was telling your followers how great Snyder's take was every other day or if it was telling your followers how bad it was every other day, chances are I'd have muted or blocked the account.

Joining Piers Morgan & Elon Musk, who coincidentally were the reason I discovered the mute feature.

 

[Boom]

I was under the impression that Felon Musk walked back Twitter's mute/block functionalities. "Free speech" or whatever.

Nope, if you go to any user's main page/feed, you'll see the three dots for other options in the upper right, and there's a "Mute" option there.

 

[Boom]

Coolio. Thanks, gang.

 

[Herolee10]

Dang. It's down to 84%. I was hoping that it would tie with "The Batman" (85%).

I hope that it doesn't get any lower than that.

 

[TheGDBatman]

Yeah I’m hoping it stays mid 80’s. It’s silly, I watched around 8 or 10 positive reviews get added…no score change. One negative review gets added, it drops 1 percent.

Either way, it’s a 1% difference. If you see the movie at 85% or you see it at 84%, that shouldn’t affect your perception either way.

Agreed. Though it would be nice to finally get a modern-day Superman film with an RT score that's above 79%.

And it's now at 83%. Is it possible that the film will lose it's certified fresh rating later on?

It's possible - but this rating has been pretty stable for over a day now.

The fluctuations are minor at this point. I think it will stay in the 82% - 85% range.

It needs to go under 70% now to lose certified fresh (you need to be over 75% to get it, but once you have it you keep it until you go under 70%)

Perhaps, but isn't it normal for a film like this to receive 300-500 reviews? The current score (83%) is based from a little over 200 reviews.

I feel like we celebrated prematurely since there's a strong chance that this film could settle with a 60% - 70% score range.

I don't touch Twitter, but liking DC superheroes and weightlifting/bodybuilding on Instagram is a nightmare combo for bringing up those psychos in one's feed on there.

I've never seen anything change substantially after 200 reviews. Between 100 and 200 seems to be the place where things can go very sideways.

 

[Mysteryman]

I would hope for it being certified fresh.

Even Superman Returns achieved that.

And, Deservedly, So.

 

[Herolee10]

I hope your right. Regardless, I think I'll refrain from listing this as a victory for the film until more time passes. It seems like the film's rating with critics is slowly going from great to just good/mediocre.

Should the film's current RT score fall any lower (Below 80's), then it'll really need to make up for loss with its box office revenue.

A drift from the high 80s to the low 80s is pretty standard as more reviews come in. The scores always start higher than they finish.

Also the RT score does not remotely reflect whether the critics think a film is great versus just good/mediocre. It just says whether there is consensus or division in the critics' evaluation. Average score is what tells you if the critics think a film is great versus good, but RT has hidden metric that away for some stupid reason.

 

[GreenKToo]

84% critics
96% audience.
Why worry? I don't get it...

I mean if it had dropped to like 72% or 71% by now I could see the worry, but it's AT 84%

 

[Ita-KalEl]

Tomatometer can not hurt the boxoffice anymore, now it is only matter of wom

 

[Tra-El]

83%; 226 reviews are in, so it won't drop below 80% it seems. The tempo suggests a one or two percent difference. It will probably settle between 82-84% at the end of its run.

 

[TheGDBatman]

It's crazy how many positive reviews it takes to counteract one negative review. In this instance, a negative review has the same impact as roughly 11 or 12 positive reviews.

It's easy to forget that every positive review increases the numerator AND denominator, while every negative review only increases the denominator. Therefore, the positive reviews require more to have the same % impact on the overall score.

All of this is to say that I'm extremely excited to see the movie tonight, and that people shouldn't get so caught up in a binary system that favours negativity lol.

 

[Gee]

Yikes. I just checked some movies on RT and the average ratings used to be visible when clicking the %. That's really ****ty of RT to hide the ratings now, but I suppose we all know why they did it. Metacritic is flawed too because they use a non-transparent weighted system for the reviews...

Honestly, there should be an alternative to RT like OpenCritic is for Metacritic when it comes to video game reviews.

 

[DKDetective]

Top Critics has actually increased to 77%, which is a good sign. Usually Top Critics are a good deal lower than the general critics and can be a warning sign if a big drop is going to come with more reviews (Joker's top critics is rotten at 49% with an overall all critics freshness of 68%). I think it is fair to say the RT score is going to stay pretty stable.
