Some of the negative ones added aren't unexpected since many of the critics didn't like IW and/or Ant-Man & the Wasp. Seeing much of the criticism as it not leaning more heavily into feminism, the humor not landing at times, and the character being a blank slate for much of the film. Also seeing many comment on the directors, saying there isn't much flair or distinguishing feature.

So I'm hearing criticism that:

Spoiler

Carol herself is pretty bland.

I hope that's not true.

 

[I Am The Knight]

That's not really a spoiler.

Not really, just could have used more background. I wouldn't put it past Marvel to deliberately leave out something for the sequels.

Seeing the haters now saying that this film sucks because, how else do you explain "middling reviews"?

It's at 82%. Man...only DCEU movie to beat that number was WW.
Glad to see it hanging above 80. Either way, I hope to discuss this with you all more righteously on Monday. Going to the beach and hoping to watch it on Saturday.

 

[Mysteryman]

Can we expect more critics reviews tonight?

They'll keep dropping throughout the weekend but the most of the remaining ones will come tonight and tomorrow.

As I already said once, there's no winning with those people. If the movie had received universal praise, they would be saying that critics are paid shills.

But it hasn't, so their new narrative is that the critics are afraid to say the movie sucks. It isn't surprising that those dumb wastes of oxygen aren't familiar with the concept of "nuanced opinions".

 

[Silver Surfer]

The opinions of loser trolls who haven't even watched the movie, and have no intention of watching the movie, but still want to give 'opinions' on it should hold no weight. Considering the tracking reports, it has had absolutely no impact on boxoffice, so who cares. F the trolls.

 

[CK Spider]

Happy to report I dug it quite a bunch. Left my thoughts on the user review thread. Hope those who haven't seen it yet like it as much as I did.

About those trolls, I value their opinions as much as a fish values a bycicle. Let's see what kind of conspiracy they'll pull out their thinkholes when the movie opens to 130+ millions in the US. It's gonna be fun.

Reviews are solid and, as I already seen it, I have no reason to be concerned.

At this point, the highest it can get is 83 but it it could still get down to 79-80 if remaining reviews don't break right. That basically puts it around Thor/IM3 level of RT scores.
