Is that MTV Special "Bane goes to the Jersey Shore?"

I'd watch that.

I am curious about Tosh.O though

Time Out New York - Negative (3/5)

"Grand scale or no, this feels like a blockbuster on autopilot more often than not, curiously detached and self-importantly somber even by the director's standards - and without the cerebral heft of his best work."

David M. Uslan ‏@dmuslan With tears still flowing, I can honestly say The Dark Knight Rises is the greatest, most epic superhero movie ever produced. A masterpiece.


David M. Uslan ‏@dmuslan
The end to a perfect evening: finally meeting & spending time w/ @grantmorrison. U know TDKR has 2 be amazing if he approves (which he did!)

I havent read it. Just reposted this after I saw this on Nolan Fans

 

[DorneyDave]

I'm starting to get a vibe from the critics who review negatively. They aren't as invested in the characters as we are in this trilogy. That is why it may feel so distant to them. And then you read that Uslan tweet, and you can see how it effected someone who did have investment in the characters.

3/5 should still be considered a positive review on RT

 

[Liam_H]

It should be positive since his 3/5 reviews are fresh.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

3/5 is positive.

That said, TimeOut's review has already been posted.

Its like "check your brain at the door" in reverse. They go in expecting a romp but then discover this character piece and arent invested in it and they miss the heart of the film. It like theyve went in with their brain checked at the door. Sometimes you have to invest regardless of whether you want to or not. As a critic it is their job to get down on the films level and understand it. I feel like they dont always do this which completely invalidates their evaluation.

 

[Travesty]

I thought 60% or below is considered rotten? So a 3/5 would be, I would assume.

Exactly. Also, I'm talking having a connection with the characters from the past two movies. TDKR sounds like the least "Stand-alone" piece of the trilogy. While that is great news for the Bat mytho lovers, it might not be for critics reviewing it as a one-shot film. I think Nolan may have gone more against his "making the film stand on its own" motto and really got into creating the full-circle ending.

 

[Reek]

I really don't think there will be as many negative reviews as people are afraid of. 35 reviews the first day is kinda crazy

 

[elgato]

There's people reading the spoilers, I can't understand it.

 

[OtherwiseKnownAs]

I think just anything below 60% is considered rotten.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

3/5 is the equivalent of 70%, as I've been told before.

 

[Solidus]

I thought 60% or below is considered rotten? So a 3/5 would be, I would assume.

No it's below 60% always has been. 60% and above is fresh. 59% and below is rotten.

 

[Bane_Fanboy]

guys were at a total of 46 reviews positive & 3 Negative with a percentage of 94%

[redfirebird2008]

No, 60% is actually fresh unless the reviewer specifically asks for it to be posted as rotten. Anything below 60% is rotten.

 

[Travesty]

3/5 is the equivalent of 70%, as I've been told before.

How is that possible? It's simple math that:

1/5=20%
2/5=40%
3/5=60%
4/5=80%
5/5=100%

Unless, of course, that the rotten-or-not meeter is applied to the reviewers discretion, seeing as how there is a 20% leap in between a 1-5 rating system.
