RT always sways people's opinion on films before watching it

I think that's the point of it

It could sway someone from watching a film but outside of that it shouldn't actually be used to form a personal opinion.

I can't say a film is horrible or great without watching it first.

 

[zsynqx]

Not the biggest fan of Snyder and wasn't a fan of MoS. BvS has problems but I couldn't really comment on any of them or form an opinion without watching it.

I have enjoyed films that have been thrashed by critics (most of us probably have).

True. I have also disliked a bunch of films that were highly praised by critics.

Really hoping Suicide Squad is great btw. Dug the trailers and Ayer has done good work in the past. Would also be nice to have a good Will Smith movie again; definitely been a while.

Then they can wait until its out on Netflix/Amazon Prime/Redbox.

They don't have to plunk down $15-$25 for a single ticket and potentially have to endure an asshole audience just for a film they'll likely hate if they tend to agree with critical reviews.

 

[What did he mean by this?]

I heard Jared showed up to set one day with socks that didnt match. Crazy, right?

 

[Johndoey]

Jared ate the last donut and didn't buy a new box.

The true monster

I agree (the point of my post). Catch it later if you the reviews sway you enough to not spend money a ticket. However until then you can't have an opinion on the film. I get the feeling some people did not wait to form their own opinion when it came to BvS.

Ironically you're talking to the person who did just that.

I actually did see it a few days after it came out, bruh. My review is someone around here if you wanna search for it.

Review embargo delayed by 12 hours. Mass hysteria is taking grip.

That hasn't been confirmed. Few other critics are saying they are still cleared for the original time.

 

[Busty]

We're at 27 pages already.

I think Oscar Wilde said it best when he said - "There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."

Good luck embargo-ing anything when the movie will be out in my country at that time lol .

I'm in Europe.

I take a nap for like an HOUR and all hell breaks loose

I can't control you jokers at all!

 

[IconGrist]

WB confirmed to Mark Hughes the embargo is still the same. No change.

 

[N7Commander95]

Ok for this interested about the embargo

A person for the Miami Herald said that the embargo had been delayed big time

Turns out it was only 12hrs

Then a few other journalists such as Mark Hughs said that he hasn't heard anything about s change

Hughes confirmed with Warner Bros that the embargo is still the same

So I think it's to do with the press screening happening Tuesday, as Shmoes Knowes are seeing it then for example

lol Crisis averted

Didn't Wilde get arrested for sodomy? I think in that case he would've preferred NOT being talked about.

So has anyone here actually seen the film yet?

Is it any good?

Does this happen to people a lot?

I find that, as long as I avoid 6pm shows, especially at the multiplex that is in my city's major mall, I barely even see the 12-15 year olds that are the only demographic I have ever had disrupting movies in the past.

 

[EightBitNate]

There's a Reddit thread on r/movies with impressions. To be honest, responses are a little more mixed than I thought they'd be. Also hoping it isn't another situation of BvS where diehard think it's better than everyone else does.

Expecting 65% RT.

We're Canadian. We have more civilized theaters.

Yep, guy read the embargo wrong

I've had bad luck with comic films and asshole audiences in the past. And yes, I've gone early to avoid teenagers/jerks. Sometimes I just get unlucky and 5-10 teens/dudebros show up and ruin it for everyone.

You can never avoid my posse

Yaasss Joker werk it

Surely you mean 'Skwad'?

😊

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

So after all the build-up, the movie sounds like it's mediocre. Lame.

 

[Timu]

My RT prediction:55-65%

Hope I'm wrong.

 

[Raxus]

Guessing RT of 73%. I am aiming high.

 

[BronsonLee]

I expect a fun summer movie and I'm going to get it

 

[IconGrist]

No balls. RT will be 25%.

 

[Nudull]

That rundown sounds bland as hell. Excepting some Thor 2/Iron Man 3-level nonsense.

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

My prediction from a while back was 45%. I'll stick with it.

The opening weekend box office will be bonkers though.

 

[kingocfs]

64%

 

[Ross61]

Mid 70s RT. Sound like a fun movies with enjoyable characters who have strong performances.

 

[CrayToes]

52% classic

 

[JTripper]

42% let's get it fam

 

[GravityInsanity]

The question is will this movie be better than Ghostbusters Rotten Tomatoes wise?

 

[Einchy]

91%

I AINT SCARED

 

[BronsonLee]

Probably about the same.

 

[Smokey_Run]

I went with 58% in the community thread a few weeks back. Just gonna stick with that.

 

[What did he mean by this?]

I am just a sucker for pain. I have the rotten tomato score tattooed on me from my neck to my ankles.

That's interesting. I've never has a problem with an audience before. Especially with comic movies, that's where all the super hardcore fans would eat someone alive if they ruined the experience.

Now I've had some obnoxious people in line at midnight or day 1 showings. But they turn into church mice when the logos come up on screen.

 

[Einchy]

Anytime there's a group of young dudes you know that group is gonna be filled by loud assholes. Every single time.

 

[Cuburt]

I heard Jared Leto applauded after eating at the wrap party.

What a menace.

 

[illmatic22]

79%

I'm feeling optimistic.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

So after all the build-up, the movie sounds like it's mediocre. Lame.

Considering the director, I'm not surprised in the slightest.

 

[Cuburt]

58℅ btw


Premise should have been a homerun. Deadpool and GotG gave DC an alley oop. Critics won't give mediocrity a pass here.
