How long before this is certified fresh or rotten?

How long before this is certified fresh or rotten?

RT is probably hesitant because it's currently right on the edge.

 

[kguillou]

194 and holding strong at 75. Wow!

 

[TheFuture]

Kermode called it "coherently dull", "turgid" and "bloated" haha. But he still admitted that it's substantially different and better than the theatrical cut. Also said that he always supports a director's vision over a focus group studio edit.

He was kinder than I was expecting based on his bemused tweeting.

As he said himself he had to give it some due as a director's vision fully realised given he's a proponent of director cuts.

 

[Carrousel]

This critic gave him a score of 83 out of 100.
How is it possible that this rotten?

 

[dhandler01]

I would be tempted to say you could cut that at "You can't trust the audience score", period. ;-) All it really tells you is what a self-selected internet poll worth of not-at-all-random users think. Possibly useful for non-controversial movies, for spotting a divergence between critic and audience taste, but otherwise kind of worthless. If you want to measure general audience approval, box office totals are a much better benchmark.

I dunno, I never look that deeply but there is value in it as a metric but one of many. Put it this way I wouldnt ONLY go by the audience score it would be seeing that along with my friends liking it...etc.

You would have to ask the critic...might be a mistake when he uploaded it.

I will revise my prediction...if it is still in "certified" range when it passes 200 reviews they will announce it. At the pace it is going it wont hit 400 meaning which makes it highly unlikely it goes rotten let alone mixed. The math is just too favorable to the film at this point.

 

[kendalag]

74% right now ... however, judgment is finished as the only man who matters has given his thoughts.

[flickchick85]

He speaks! And going...with the grain. Could not have called that.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

The most anticipated review of our lifetime, boys and girls

Mark Kermode only wishes he was on Armond’s level

 

[Chip Chipperson]

There’s a real art to what he does

 

[Iceman]

The whole concept of this 4 hour film is to be a trap for Armond.

 

[Reel-Man]

Who is this Armond reviewer person?

 

[Iceman]

Who is this Armond reviewer person?

Pretentious master-contrarian.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Who is this Armond reviewer person?

The critical voice of our time, sworn enemy of the evil Disney corporation!

 

[harlequinade]

The Trial of the Chicago 7 has 90%?! oh God

 

[Comicbookguy339]

Would be a shame if it missed the certified fresh sticker by only one percentage.

 

[SupermanFan]

Would be a shame if it missed the certified fresh sticker by only one percentage.

What is the cut off percent?

 

[BlackSuitTrael]

What is the cut off percent?

74% I believe. It's going to hover around 70% probably as a final.

 

[Comicbookguy339]

What is the cut off percent?

A film needs to get 75% or higher.

Interesting. If you look up this critic on RT, it appears he uses a x/100 scoring system. Moreover, he has high standard for excellence — such that movies need to earn 85%-ish or higher (!) to get a “fresh” status.

His prerogative, I suppose...

It’s my understanding that RT allows critics to assign a binary fresh/rotten score that’s independent of (and inconsistent with?) their original “analog” score. Thus, sometimes a 3/5 can be fresh, sometimes it’s rotten. Likewise, sometimes a C grade (technically, in the 70-79% range) is sometimes fresh, sometimes rotten. But I was surprised to see a 83% registered as rotten. That’s really stretching the scoring logic, IMO.

Defenders of RT often mention that RT doesn't critique the movies, themselves; they just objectively tabulate pre-existing scores. But when they allow a 83% score to be registered as a “rotten,” that (to me) looks more like a subjective call.

Must be a gamer.

 

[Iceman]

74% after 208 reviews. Wonder how many more are going to come in.

 

[TheFuture]

I love how Collider will slate the film but ride the coat tails of it to release puff piece after poof piece about the comics.

 

[Primal Slayer]

I am old school, just like in High School/College, anything 70% or above is passing to me.
