The Avengers The Avengers Critics Reviews Thread - Part 2

It brought it down to 96.

Oh well, it doesn't matter anyway. I'm afraid he's going to get bombarded by negative comments as well. t:t:t:t:t:

 

[HighFivingMF]

Quick! Find something he spelled wrong!

 

[flickchick85]

It's gonna need 13-14 more positive reviews (with zero negatives) to get back up to 97%. Seems doable.

He's a troll, plain and simple. His Cabin in the Woods "review" was laughable. In fact I wonder whether he's watched either Cabin or TA.

Anyway, Rolling Stone adored TA, and that's a billion times more meaningful!

 

[thalidomide]

seriously?

 

[Joeyjojo72]

TDK had 18 bad reviews. Its inevitable. Once every US critic has weighed in, the score could EASILY be at or below 90%. There are more trolls and more snobs who have yet to weigh in. The movie is a huge success already, so just relax and enjoy.

 

[Dr. Sid Jawtug]

I say we post under his review and tell people to just ignore his trolling.

I'm looking forward to the film and I'm probably going opening day but I really don't trust the reviews for Joss Whedon films or T.V Shows because the critics always seem to go way to easy on his stuff.

I like critics and usually reviews like this would excite me but because of the director I don't take the reviews to heart.

That's because he's utterly brilliant.

I think it's good that you're tempering your expectations, tbh. It's my personal favorite superhero movie ever, but it seems very possible that the critics are gonna end up over-hyping it for a lot of people. I'm dreading the inevitable backlash.

That said, I'm loving these review. t:

Just out of curiosity, I know you're not a Serenity fan, but did you think the critics went too easy on Cabin in the Woods as well?

Apologies if this got posted earlier, but Travers' full review is up at Rolling Stone.com now:

It's just glorious.

Beginning to think I've had Travers pegged wrong all this time.

What I find hilarious is how these negative reviewers cannot even write skillfully to hide their bias.

The 'fanthefire' guy takes a direct blatant jab at 'fanboys' and so does this cole smithy guy with his "doesn't Hollywood realise fanboy culture is over" comment.

 

[flickchick85]

Oooh, I just noticed that it's up to 80 at Metacritic. Yay!

It will never be over, it is a way of life!

 

[yads]

Yeah, anyone who includes the word fanboy in the first paragraph - that's when I stop reading.

That's how they do it, their entire focus is pissing people off to get hits for their low rent sites.

I fail to see how they've gone easy on him. He didn't direct Cabin in the woods, only was a writer. As a director he's only had this and Serenity really.

As a writer some of his stuff has been trashed, including Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
