The Thor: Ragnarok Rotten Tomatoes/Critic's Reaction Thread

Still holding up very well.

You're killing me with this talk of repeat viewings when we put upon; downtrodden, poor Americans have NOT gotten to see it yet. I'll take
your repeat viewings and double it when I finally get to get in on the
act. It is great to hear that you are enjoying it though.

I hope you have a great time too.

Wow. That RT rating tho! 102 Fresh now!!!!

It's also at "75" on Metacritc.

5th rotten was added. It was the one by Tom Shone that we already saw coming, so that one's out of the way now.

So this is basically a lock to stay in the 90's.

Yeah I mean we're getting deep into the review numbers now and it would take a serious change in the tone of the reviews for it to drop massively. The high average rating gives me confidence it won't drop below 90%.

Well we just need 5 more consecutive positive reviews and we will be back up to 96% Fresh.

It is if the group of critics who have already submitted their reviews to RT are in any way representative of the group of reviewers who have yet to submit. Given that there are probably over 1/3 of the total reviews, the fresh to rotten ratio would have to be about 7 to 1 to put it in the low 90s. Currently, the reviews are in at about 21 to 1, so, yeah, I'd say that it's probably going to remain in the 90s.

I crunched the numbers and the ratio from positive to negative reviews is, thus far, skewing higher than the average CBM. Barring a fluke it's likely to remain quite high, assuring that it will be regarded as one of the best reviewed superhero films.

Kinda amazing that this movie has the highest RT score. Chris deserves this.

"Even for a Marvel film, Thor: Ragnarok is a weightless lark, almost to a fault. Waititi has so much fun playing with his toys that, at times, he forgets to offer the proceedings enough import. These are marginal concerns, at the end of the day."

The number of reviews is still creeping up with the scores staying reasonably consistent.

Totally agree. I was just explaining why I agreed. My wife finds this really annoying and says that when she asks me what time it is, I tell her how the clock works.

Some of these reviewers make it sound like it's been years since Marvel released anything good.

Thor: Ragnarok may be a better comedy than epic action adventure, but it certainly makes us fall even more in love with the "Cosmic Marvel" universe.
7/10

I'm guessing it finishes at 93% RT. With over 100 reviews now, there's little chance it falls, unless it sees a swarm of reviews.

Yeah. The only way I see it falling much more than that is "if" we're dealing with very different populations. For example, I read on the hype that US critics are a little harder on movies than their counterparts in other countries. If that's true, and "if" most US critics have yet to weigh in, it could drop some, but about 1/3 of the weighting (actually a little bit more than that) is in, so that will be a strong mitigating factor against substantial drops. As I was saying earlier, a drop from 1 rotten in 22 reviews (current) to 1 rotten out of 8 (a "very" substantial drop to be sure) still leaves it above 90%.

This happens when every new marvel movie comes out.

Its like what Vision said. "Their very strength incites criticism"

Did he say "invites" or "incites" I can't remember.
