Days of Future Past The Rotten Tomatoes Score Prediction Thread

[Raiden]

After what happened to TASM2, which had some positive early buzz but later fell to rotten territory, I don't want to assume anything with DOFP. I do believe that it will do much much better than TASM2, but may not match as high as TWS, because even X2 got only as high as 87%. DOFP will have to do better than X2 to match or exceed TWS. We'll know better as it gets closer to the release date.

Early tweets are very positive.

Could this become the highest rated X-men movie on RT.

That would be great. As long as this film gets a rating higher than 70%, I won't care if TWS has a higher RT rating.

 

[BlackFox]

Not to be a negative Nancy, but the professional TOP critics like NY times etc will be much harder on this than fanboys and geek-friendly blogs.
Im sure if most of us got a free ticket to see the film early, our reviews would be biased.
We shall see...

You make a good point, even as well received as TWS was it only managed 73% wit top critics and I'm sure they will not show any mercy to DOFP if they find any weak link.

I know this will turn into a Xmen V Cap thing eventually its inevitable, it is the way of things but I just hope we get an Xmen film we can enjoy as much as most people enjoyed Cap2, they can both be enjoyed in their own right hopefully.

 

[SuperJediHero]

To date, NO negative reviews about this movie yet, I think 90%+

I was actually thinking about how amazing it would've been if all four Marvel movies get above 80% RT. Although TASM2 derailed that plan, I think there's still a chance that both DOFP and GOTG will both score very highly by critics and audience.

Yeah the more people with that attitude the better, I know its fun to compare and contrast between films, heck I myself love doing "rankings" of things and such and we are here to debate things at the end of the day but some get a bit carried away with it all and some things can descend into versus battles, or "Fox should give back the rights rants" which doesnt really achieve anything constructive.

Clearly your not of that thinking, this is goodt: and yes I agree the more "good" films we get the better for all of us fans which i the main thing at the end of the day. Im very excited to see DOFP and I really hope its as good as Cap2 was, because that was a great film, ASM2 sadly dissapointed me but I wanted it to be great too. GOTG is interesting and not sure what to expect from it which is a cool unkown where as all the others are sort of sequals where we know great amounts about them already.

 

[Johnny-Oh]

I think the fact that TASM 2 is still recent and not well received its gonna make it easier for critics to like DOFP because they usually contrast the more recent superhero movies. It will defintely be praised for its direction and acting so the real catch is gonna be the plot, hopefully its easy to follow and not a mess. Im glad James Cameron was slightly involved in the time traveling aspect of the movie because he has worked with that element in the Terminator movies.

 

[usagicassidy]

Depends on how much the reviewers got paid by Donner&Co...

Kidding...

Hopefully.

 

[Marvel]

If Captain America: The Winter Soldier tops out at 89% (I thought that film was a 10/10 perfect ride) then that may be the high point for any Marvel character film in this new era. Avengers seem to be the exception.

It may not be possible to crack 90% any more no matter how good the film.

 

[Doctor Octopus]

I'm thinking the 81-85% range, but I'd love to see it hit 90%. I saw all the positive feedback from the advanced screening. It's made me even more optimistic for the movie.

 

[Iceman]

Damn, already one negative on RT. 1 of each for now.

 

[BMM]

Damn, already one negative on RT. 1 of each for now.

On the bright side, that's one of the two negative ones that have already been posted here, and there look to be far more positive reviews on the way.

Also a top critic (major UK newspaper).

Oh right. That's good to know. Roughly how many positives do you think you've seen so far?

I think people are far more harsh these days.

I know I am. There are so many movies around that you have to make brutal judgements about what to see, what to like, what to decide you aren't even bothering to see.

Captain America 2 was very well-liked, though I found it a good story in formulaic wrapping of Hollywood explosions. If they can give that 89 per cent, I think DoFP will get much less, to be honest. I say it will be 71-79 per cent.

Why would they be more harsh towards DOFP?

 

[X-Maniac]

Why would they be more harsh towards DOFP?

I don't know, perhaps I'm just lowering expectations instead of going overboard with excitement. Maybe because I don't recall seeing any negativity towards CA:TWS, and we've already seen some grumbles about DoFP.

 

[Ms. Marvel]

There were a few grumbles about TWS but they were more along the lines of "it's not as great as everyone says it is".

I share that sentiment (see score in my signature!!!). Never even got to see ASM2 because I had gastro-enteritis the weekend I planned to go and had to have antibiotics for a week! Still not back to normal yet. The most ill I've been for 10 years. So I'm saving my cinema energy for DoFP now.

 

[TWayneP]

I agree with you X-Maniac.

Times have changed I believe, People are much harder to please. bars have been raised, I believe if X-men 1 and X2 were released with todays standards it would be 50/50 hate and love amongst fans. maybe even just pure hatred from spoiled comic book fans because of all the inconsistency and deviations from the comics. We have a built in love for Foxs X-Men since back in 2000, so we are all riding off of that.

It doesn't apply to all of the movies of course, Some stories are just great stories and entertaining no matter what, but I don't see DOFP getting above an 80% on RT. maybe it would have a few years ago, but with its style of spectacle and story, I'm not sure its what audiences are after. I may be wrong!

Maybe people hated ASM2 SO much that DOFP will be a breath of fresh air, and they will go easy on it?

The pure love for Captain America 2 PUZZLES me. I found it a solid 7/10 film aswell, very formulaic imo and lacking a defining style.

DOFP has distinct style, it has an interesting and different story for CBMs, smart humor and violence you wouldn't see in a typical MCU movie. Im hoping it does very well.

The great things about film and all these comics are that people respond in different ways. I agree with most of the top rated films, but there are a few I disagree with. Especially X1. Hated it then and hate it even more now. Not a popular opinion. Of course those films would get panned now. So would a majority of older flicks. Filmmaking evolves very quickly.

Flicks are subjective from the characters, story, style, action, directing etc. and even more so when we know the source material or hold on to it more tightly then others. To each their own. Certain things click with a viewer that may not with another. Yeah there can be times when just terrible filmmaking happens, but if a critic disagrees or you don't hold a popular opinion it shouldn't matter in the slightest to what you enjoy. People like different colors, if we all agreed on everything the world would be boring as ****.

I agree.

If X-men were released today it would be lucky to stay in the 70's.

X2 would probably be in the high 70's or low 80's.
