TMOS Reviews Thread - Non Spoiler Review and Discussion - Part 4

MOS back up to a 70% ON RT. One more good review bumped our baby up.

 

[SM71]

Just out of curiosity... has it ever happened, or even possible/allowable for a critic to change their mind? or is that deemed too unprofessional so it never happens? whether good to bad or bad to good

I just feel like feelings after the initial viewing can sometimes differ DRASTICALLY from subsequent viewings/time mulled over

I've seen critics change their minds, but not too often. I've never seen a critic change their RT review though.

One example that comes to mind is Peter Travers giving Star Wars Episode II a positive review when it first came out, but by the end of 2002 he was bashing it along with everyone else.

Funny you ask this, I have been tracking RT all day at work on my phone. MOS had 25 fresh, 11 rotten at one point, then after refreshing the page 10-min later, it had 26 fresh 10 rotten, bumping it up fron 72% to 74%. The only thing I could think of at that time is that one critic changed there mind, or that RT seen the critic had 3-5 stars and changed it.

Ha interesting. Yeah it just seems like a curious thing to me.. how my opinion often changes, and how it seems like it def could for a critic as well, and what happens with them in that situation. That very well may have been the case

 

[Manosman]

I don't really care about the RT score, but this is something I've always wondered, maybe someone here knows. So when the critics submit their review to RT do they pick if it's rotten or fresh, or does someone on the RT staff read it and decide? Same goes for the quote they pick.

 

[SM71]

Not 80% or bust. These critics are called critics for a reason. They sit through the film over-anylizing it for there review, which does not put them in the GA frame of thought. The GA goes to a movie to be entertained, not to sit there and take notes on why you feel you don't like certain things about it. It's like going on a roller-coasters with a pen and pad in hand judging each turn by numbers! Do you honestly think the average coaster rider is thinking about anylizing each turn and loop they go through? NO! This is why critics are called critics, the GA will have a much different response then these 13 people ( I mean critics) on RT.

 

[Poni_Boy]

I don't understand the comparisons between MOS and STM. Aside from featuring some of the same characters they are very different animals. Same goes for Batman Begins and '89 Batman.

That being said, I believe anyone going out of their way to bash STM for being outdated/old/unrelatable just to accentuate the modernism of MOS is foolish and needs to grow up.

 

[Mad Love]

Big difference between Avengers and MOS is that the characters in the Avengers interacted with each other the entire film while Man of Steel lacked a bit in that category. That's one of the top things I didn't like about the film.

Why would they interact with each other as much in MOS? They aren't a team.

Answer to both is the reviewer.

Tomorrow for me!

And FYI the majority of rated critics on Rotten Tomatoes aren't film or journalism school grads. The prerequisite to get your RT accreditation isn't hard if you run/write for a small to medium sized blog. Acting like most of them are snobby elitists just because they don't share your opinion is pretty ignorant, especially since so many of these critics go out of their way to try to look at movies from a GA perspective.

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

^ And yet you promised us posters :P

http://www.denofgeek.com/movies/man-of-steel/25950/man-of-steel-review
^ This one I take more stock in. It's an OKAY rating, a 3/5.

 

[Poni_Boy]

*shrug* I don't work for WB, that's why I never promise anything

I'm sure you got enough promo stuff from the 98 sponsors this flick has anyway

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

^ Yeah. No hard feelings
I'm kind of promo'ed out at this point :P

 

[Poni_Boy]

Pretty sure everyone is, except WB. Making $175+ mil from tie-ins alone is ridiculous

 

[InJustice]

Where is ROeper's review? A lot of people are talking about it?

 

[WormyT]

I saw it tonight.

it's good, not great. Parts of it really bugged the hell out of me. It's very uneven. Ill explain more
On Friday.

Russell Crowe gave the best performance.

7/10
