Highest Grossing Blockbuster of the decade incoming.
Watched it for the first time last weekend and immediately bought the Criterion disc. Hell of a movie.
Pre 40s you're probably looking at John Ford, Alfred Hitchcock, Fritz Lang, FW Murnau, Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, etc.
Variety offers, High Praise.
Sorcerer is a big blind spot for me which I desperately need to rectify.
I know the Old Hollywood system was on the decline in the 50s, but the 50s has a lot of amazing international cinema. Kurosawa's 50s oeuvre alone makes it hard to count the decade out, or the rise of genre fare like The Day the Earth Stood Still or Godzilla. Or even mainstream Hollywood fare like Rear Window, North by Northwest, or 12 Angry Men and Wilder greats like Stalag 17 and Some Like It Hot.
Just watch the movie movie man. I saw it last night and its so damn good. It's fun, it has heart, hope, its funny, and its the most comic/cartoon/authentic to the core of the character he's ever been on screen. You gotta realize how good an 80+ % really is, and look at the audience score. This movie is on fire in the best way.
If the movie is good, the RT score is immaterial.
It went down from 87 to 83. 8.3 out of every 10 say it’s positive. So you are going to let the 1.7 negative make you nervous. The fandom has spoken.
There's literally no planet on which a movie with an RT score in the 80's is not considered well-received.

With all love, you are not living in reality, dude.
Movies have won Best Picture with scores in the 70's (Gladiator was at 77% for years until some newer reviewers rediscovered it, Braveheart's at 76%, A Beautiful Mind's at 74%, etc.), and it would have to drop below SR's 74% to NOT be the best-reviewed Superman movie in 3 generations. The 70's is nowhere bad...but I don't think it's dropping to the 70's.
Flick, it's a rigged game. Reviews only count when it justifies their world view. If Superman had scored like, 26% or something, they'd be plastering the reviews EVERYWHERE and using them as proof that "Soyboy" was a flop and that they were right all this time. But, the reviews are good. So they cannot do that. So Plan B - try and discredit them. Call them shills, say they were paid, act like it's all rigged so that we can band together, like underdogs, and show the corporate overlords what we really want! That is how those people think and work.Also, look at how The Cult rejoiced and positively bragged about the 71% for their beloved ZSJL. So they can't say s*** about this one's score - even if it drops to the 70's - without shooting themselves in the foot on that one.
Yes and that's another bit of evidence for you, @Herolee10 - the fact that the SnyderCult are using the "shills" accusation tactic is all the proof you need that this thing is well-received.
Joker won an academy award and was in the 90s to start and ended in the high 70s. Still one of the best comic book movies of all time. Some movies in the 70s have better overall scores than movies in the 90s.With all love, you are not living in reality, dude.
Batman Begins is at 85% fresh and is considered a critical darling. The Batman is at the same freshness score as well. You are making a mountain out of a molehill.
We have a well-received Superman movie for the first time in 40 years, that is fact.
