TMOS Reviews Thread - Non Spoiler Review and Discussion - Part 3

[!Superman!]

so if the 4 "rotten" reviews get changed to fresh it would get this movie to 80% right? come on RT and WB. !

 

[king666]

I have to wear my Superman shirt inside out now.

I don't give a **** if this movie sucks, I'm proud to be a Superman fan

 

[SuperAl]

If I were Batman, I wouldn't be spending my time looking at what other people think of a movie constantly.

but but hes retired, he just likes to dress up and roam the internets

 

[Eggyman]

When's Showtime seeing it?

 

[danoyse]

Maybe expectations are just so ridiculously high that it is merited? I don't know, this is Superman, right? Greatest ****ing superhero that ever lived. You can't deliver something on ASM or IM3 level. This should have been comparable to Nolan's Batman series both critically and financially, perhaps not right off the bat, but in the sequels to come, assuming they come. It just doesn't look like the fantastic start we were hoping for.

Are you posting from the future or something? How do you know how it did financially??

 

[MarvelU]

You know even if the start is not great, I always look forward to the sequels being better in a weird way. Think Batman Begins to Dark Knight and X-Men to X2: X-Men United. The sequels were really good. As long as this movie is a good/decent start, then we should be fine.

"Superman's return to the big screen is mostly successful, as Man of Steel provides enough exhilarating action and spectacle to overcome its occasional detours into generic blockbuster territory"

RT consensus..

 

[BH/HHH]

Wondering that myself, really trust his opinion. Same with Jamie.

 

[Adder]

down to 70%.

Who decides whether a review is classified as rotten or fresh? Is it the reviewer or website?

Funnily enough I prefer Begins to TDK but TDK was amazing. I also prefer X1 to X2. X2 was typical Bryan Singer for me, not big enough and long as hell, I was bored to tears by the end. XFC is the best X film for me but that's just my opinion.

 

[JayJustROTFL]

I knew it. So 3/5 is a fresh. So we could have like 4-5 extra fresh reviews for MoS.

What is RT doing? and is there a way to tell them to change it?

Don't worry I'm sure WB has their ninjas that will make sure all is fair in the end. t:

Hopefully that will change...or it just stays like that.

 

[Mjölnir]

why?

Transformers 3 made over $1 billion dollars and had a rating of 29%

I'm not tying it into RT ratings but I'd definitely not want this to be like Transformers 3. Those movies might be good for the studio's wallet but I think they represent the really bad side of what an all out action movie can be. No brain, no heart, just action. Just my opinion though, of course, but I hope for something different with MOS. I'd take a good movie over a high grossing movie any day if that was my choices.

If this thing drops into the 60's....

If a 3/5 doesn't count as fresh, there is no way in hell I'm taking this tomato site seriously.

It will probably finish low 70's and should be mid 70's..

 

[pepper]

Some of you guys need to stop worrying so much about movie critics and RT.

Seriously, go see the movie for yourself. Don’t let someone else tell you what you think of it. This is why I will never take a movie critic seriously. How much validity is there in a job where you get paid to tell your opinion on something? It doesn’t really make sense to me and it never will.

What I've read so far on twitter and other blogs, I’d say roughly 90% of the people who saw the movie loved it.

So, take a chill pill and everything will be okay.

 

[Mr.M]

But I am the time traveler from the upcoming X-Men movie...

Who decides whether a review is classified as rotten or fresh? Is it the reviewer or website?

The reviewers themselves decide that. Look at it as a yes or no question if they recommend going to see the movie. That's probably more accurate and coherent over the breadth of reviewers than how they are treating their various grade scales.

Not that it matters much to me though.

Looks like another negative review that has not been added to RT yet. It is Michael Phillips from the Chicago Tribune. MOS gets two and a half stars:

RT consensus..

Isn't it a little early for a consensus? There are only 40 reviews up. I think I am officially done with Rotten Tomatoes.

Actually, that's a small positive (fresh).

 

[!Superman!]

The reviewers themselves decide that.

oh man but to give it 3/5 and call it rotten is sad.

 

[Joker594]

True, but he compares it heavily to The Dark Knight Rises. Which he also gave a "Rotten" review.

They always start that early and change it as new reviews are taken in. It's up to the viewer to look at the number of reviews.
