The New Ghostbusters - Part 9

[Quasimod0]

KotCS is the worst Indy movie (imo), but I would honestly rate it fresh over rotten. It just is nowhere near the level of the other ones. So I'm not too surprised about that one's score.

I think the first half of Crystal Skull is actually solid (maybe not rock solid, but crystal solid). The second half is where it becomes schlock.

 

[Shadow Moses]

Not all of us have unlimited time and money to watch every movie we have a middling interest in to decide for ourselves if it's worthwhile.

Conversely, the tomatometer can make someone check out a movie they might have otherwise passed up (Fury Road being a big example).

Yes I clearly have unlimited time and money. What a stupid statement.

I don't let others make my mind up for me. There are numerous highly rated movies I will not see because I simply have no interest regardless of how many Oscars or percentile on RT it has.

But the first half is where they nuke the fridge.

It's now a fresh rating 73%

Can anyone post that? I went on thirty minutes ago and it's just as that post depicted. General critics, no stats. Top critics, as shown. Not saying it hasn't changed but it is weird that it doesn't look changed on my comp on the site.

ADDING: Now seeing all general critics has been updated on my comp's view to show 73.

I just checked a minute ago and it's the same as in that pic.

After seeing how critics praised IDR in the beginning, then closer to release it plummeted - not going to get any hopes that the marketing just screwed this one over a lot. I'd love for that to be the case but from seeing how BvS and IDR started out in comparison to how it ended - just going to wait until it's closer.

You guys should look at that pic better, it shows the consensus of "Top Critics". That score hasn't changed yet. It's the "All Critics" that has around 73% right now.

 

[Nathan]

Taking all reviews into account, it sits at 73%. Counting only top critic reviews, it's still at 29%.

I think you missed that it is on the "top critics" tab.

 

[Zero_Effect]

I am guessing 50+% on RT. I figure a few reviewers will want to be "see sexist males, you were wrong, this is a good movie."

Posted this yesterday. I think my RT score will end up being about right. 50-60% range. Though it seems its more mixed reviews giving it a fresh ratings as apposed to something like BvS that a lot of those mixed reviews gave it a negative rating.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Alright, even though it is early and the Top Critics is low, some people need to admit they are already surprised by this. Too many here thought this was a Fantastic Four or even BvS disaster. It clearly isn't.

 

[Nathan]

*Edit*

Never mind. See it was already posted.

 

[Lord]

Considering that Paul Feig's a very consistent Director, i don't know why so many were expecting a Fantastic Four disaster. He's been one of the best mainstream comedy Directors in recent years.

Yeah my fault.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I just realized they already have a consensus. Damn, that is early.

Because they wanted it to be. There has been a big wave against it from the start.

As said, for me it's way too early. If it stays I'm surprised and the marketing team needs to get fired a.s.a.p. However, I've seen it happen way too often that films get good to great reviews initially then fall like a sinking ship the closer it gets to the release date. So, I'm still going to remain cautious because I've been hit way too many times by jumping onto reviews too early on.

Didn't expect F4, but Genisys. Also many to all directors have at least one film where they fall apart, for Favreau for example I'd say that IM2 and Cowboys and Aliens. It's also why something has always seemed off. As said, "the director of 'Spy' directed this?" Just hoping it remains that it was the marketing department which, as said if it holds, needs to be fired.

What movies after 37 reviews where it was decently positive did we suddenly end up with a sub 30% RT meter? I am genuinely curious, how often has this happened?

I remember Green Lantern even started off fresh. I don't know the exact numbers nor how to find the exact numbers. I also can't remember the last time there has been this big of a discrepancy between top critics and general critics. All I know is too many times have I been excited upon controversial films getting great reviews off the bat, then it falling apart on me. Thus, I'm going to remain cautious until it's closer. Not saying it will drop, but I'm not ready for another anvil in the face kind of experience that has sometimes come from me jumping at reviews the second they hit especially when critic reception looks like night and day between general and top.

You need to name some. You said it was common. I don't think GL made it to 30 reviews fresh. It only ended up with 59 positive reviews. But say I give you that one. Where are the others?

Calm down Darth, this isn't an argument. All I'm saying is I'm going to be cautious. We had two other times of me getting hit in the face this summer alone - BvS and IDR. Some will remember be jumping up and down on the rooftops at the first drop of a hat with the IDR reviews. I'm going to wait this time so that I don't get pounded. If you don't want to, I couldn't care less. As said Darth, this isn't an argument, I'm not going to waste my time, and I could not care less if you agree with me or not because - this isn't an argument, I just personally don't want to get my hopes up too soon because I've personally been hit in the face way too many times over the years.

How did we get hit in the face by BvS (not a summer movie) and IDR, a sequel to a bad movie?

By the way, very good of your state something, then asked to back it up, you lose your mind.

Duh, because the reviews and twitter reactions and everything started off positive before it became a nightmare and hit me with anvils. And way to remain objective Darth, to most people ID4 was not a bad movie.

I stated my opinion and I stand by it because it's my opinion - I've been personally blind sided too many times to jump the gun.

No, I'm just sick of you trying to turn everything into an argument and I know I'm not the only poster to feel that way. To which point you'll say I'm a banned poster because it simply can't be that others here are sick of you trying to make every small point people say into an argument. As said, I'm done here. Try it on someone else, don't have the time.

Already has a critic consensus? I thought they would wait until at least 100 reviews to get a consensus. A bit shady IMO
