Homecoming The Rotten Tomatoes Score Thread

[ImSGirl95]

Empire posted a positive review. Should be added to RT, no?

 

[MyDudeSpidey]

2 more fresh reviews for 93%

 

[Flint Marko]

Has it been noted that 3/4 of the reviewers who gave Homecoming a rotten review rated ASM 2 as fresh? The other guy didn't even review ASM 2.

Conspiracy?

I have 44/48 (91.6%). It'd need six more at 50/54 (92.5%).

That's encouraging.

 

[Iceman]

I feel like the low stakes will make it a perfect breather before Phase 3 revs it up towards its endgame with Ragnarok and IW1.

Yep. I think high personal stakes that are unrelated to anything external wouldn't feel quite right with Infinity War around the corner and the biggest stakes of all. It make sense in Ragnarok as that ties into it.

 

[Mysteryman]

Conspiracy?

Bad Taste?

So suggesting a movie got a better reception due to novelty is sexist?

I could've said the same thing about dozens of movies with no female protagonist.

Saying something is graded on a curve because it stars a woman is putting an asterisk next to the movie's popularity and success. And I don't think people were enjoying it on a curve. It's amazing legs at the box office and wild word of mouth is because it clicked with people, including critics, in a fairly unique way, and not because moviegoers were choosing to spend money on it for multiple views due to "lowering the bar" on a gender basis. Just as it seems critics are liking Homecoming, and not because it is Marvel Studios and thus is graded on a curve. It is because it appealed to most critics' sensibilities far better than the last three Spidey movies.

Sometimes 3D gives a movie novelty like Avatar or team dynamics like Avengers or the first Spider-man movie.

It's important because once the novelty factor is gone the sequel usually drop in box office performance. Or maybe it enhanced the buzz and viewing experience for the audience.

It's not malicious or misogynist or anything bad.

Deadpool is another good example. And I love that movie but it benefited from novelty.

LOL explains a lot.

 

[DACrowe]

How crowded is this pic gonna be?

Unless Matt Reeves saves Batfleck from the abyss.

Better leave some room for Thor. Then Justice League can retire the meme a few weeks later. Or try to.

You're not wrong about Avatar. I just think the novelty might be more in the quality of the movie and the character, and the assumption that it is only due to her gender appears questionable at the very, very least.

 

[metaphysician]

I hope this gets a very good rating! After being dissapointed that Marvel never added Spidey to the MCU through the TASM series like they were gonna,

Citation needed? Because I can't recall the slightest bit of evidence to suggest this was ever a possibility.

I wouldn't call it a novelty but this being the first female superhero to actually be executed correctly, as well as the first decent DCEU movie made it safe to quite a few of its flaws. At least as far as I saw.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Dustin is a fan of that movie, Scott Mendelson though it average, I don't know who number three is.

 

[Venom 1988]

Citation needed? Because I can't recall the slightest bit of evidence to suggest this was ever a possibility.

During post production for The Avengers they were going to add the Oscorp building in the NY skyline but didn't end up doing it because the model for the building wasn't finished in time.

Other than that, I think that was the only indication (that we know of anyway) that Marvel and Sony were going to collaborate early prior to Civil War.

Yeah, I mistook total reviews counted for how many were actually fresh. You right.

It's not questionable, it's supply and demand. There was high demand for a CBM that featured a female lead that didn't suck, and there was high demand for a Wonder Woman film being made after years of waiting. It's not sexist at all to say that it's succeeding because it met those demands, in the same way that Superman The Movie, Batman '89, and Spider-man 1 all did, all of them being huge box office hits for those characters, and being the most iconic among the public awareness.

I'm really curious where it will go when JL comes out.

 

[Marvel Spider]

New fresh review added, making the total 45/49 fresh (92%).

 

[The Joker]

Actually we're up to 47 fresh now.

 

[StormC]

Three more Fresh until 93%.

 

[Chris B]

It'd be funny if the MCU is the only superhero studio to not crack 90 on the Tomatometer this year.

I feel there's a good chance that Ragnorok might pull that off in a few months.

But in regards to Spider-Man, I'm glad that the reception is as positive as it is so far.

 

[UltimateWebhead]

This is a great review. It's maybe got a few light spoilers but nothing major.
