[Rock Sexton]

Where's godboy at, I ask?

Out spreading his "God-like" knowledge elsewhere.

It's funny to see it going up and down. Just wish the balancing act was happening over a higher number...

 

[Flint Marko]

It's funny with the Tomatoe meter going up and down it kind of feels like Vegas to me.

Place your bets!t:

Surfer

Any review, whether its rotten/fresh that shows up on the counter always takes longer to show up below.

From what I understand, it seems that Bucky doesn't get much screen time. This is really too bad. I get that this is Steve's movie, but even so...it's Bucky, man.

Really, I read from a couple of places they had a pretty good bromance going. That doesn't necessarily mean screen time but if they can establish it in a short time that will be fine.

Damn, I thought it would get a lot more positive reviews than this. Seems pretty mixed, sadly.

 

[Raiden]

Nice to see the RT score crosses the 'fresh' boundary. Hopefully it will stay that way.

 

[Surfer]

I was also noticing that 4 of the 6 Top Critics had positive reviews. That is a 66.6% freshness rating for that group.

Next step! 70%

Well fortunately the mix isn't "it's got some good stuff but lots of ****** stuff too," but rather ranging from "pretty uninspired" to "excellent." It's been getting lots of "A"s and "4/5"s from the positives which is actually better than most Thor positive reviews.

So my worst fears are coming true? another case of professional critics not liking the movie and fanboy critics liking it. Sigh.....no wonder there was an embargo on this movie.

I think the RT rating will be between 30-40% because the two big trades have not liked it, therefore, more professional critics will have similar opinion.

Also, it seems that most critics are just over analyzing this movie and were expecting copious amounts of nazi bashing.

Agreed, it is not the amount of time, but the quality of the time.

I'm actually ok with Bucky not shining much in this movie,But what bothers me is that he ain't a kid like in the original comics,With Robin I kinda understand why they made him into a young adult in BF But Bucky always seemed like a different kind of kid to me that could of easily been made for a Cap movie!!!

 

[MahvelBaby!]

lol And now friends with benefits is the one that is rotten at 44% that early 60% must have felt good

 

[Jordanstine]

Funny (yet sad) how Rotten Tomatoes FRONT-LOADED all the Negative Reviews first, then proceeded to Tweet how #Rotten Captain America was at least 3 times this whole day.

The tomatoe meter actual started in the 30 - 40% range and is now in the 60 - 70% range. So, it is actually heading in the other direction and I think it will continue to climb between 70 - 80%.

So, try to remain positive, the movie is going to be awesome.

If they went kid Bucky route this movie would at 30% right now lol IMO I prefer the route they chose.

So has RT quit giving updates or are the negatives starting to dry up?
