This thread is going places.

Spoiler

I hope the movie is good

 

[Bronx-Man]

Why are there two review threads for this

They expect one of us in the wreck- Oh goddamnit, Sub.

 

[Dalek]

Please be good.

life isn't fair.

 

[Jigorath]

How about we create threads when embargo is lifted.

I think we'll get through about 3 more review threads before the embargo is up.

 

[robotrock]

watched man of steel today and got halfway through bvs before i paused it to do other shit.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Do these blockbusters really warrant multiple review threads, an OT, and a spoiler thread? Seems ridiculous.

Anyway, hoping for the best here. Been pretty disappointed by the bigger movies this year, with the exception of Logan.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

The past is prologue, GOB.

Look to the future!

I can't wait for the weird amount of people who like dccu movies to be proud of a slightly better than mediocre movie like it's their own daughter.

Nope, not like this.

Lock this thread up so we can get the satisfying close to the trilogy at exactly 9PM.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Hah, so I thought to search "wonder woman review" in twitter just now to see if anything hit early.

first result

Goddammit

 

[Slaythe]

So there it is.

This is the dark middle chapter. You know, like Empire Strikes Back.

 

[Psychoward]

No weirder than the people who are personally invested in seeing these movies fail.

Comic movie fandom is weird.

When did I say I wanted it to fail?

I'm so happy you cared so much to make this thread for us weird people

Sorry I worded it poorly, I didn't mean weird people I meant the weird AMOUNT of people who like them.

I

LOVED THIS MOVIE. I really loved this movie.

Isn't the early word that this is actually very good?

[reelbigtink]

I WONDER where all the reviews were in that old thread hahah

But really I think this will be good

 

[B33]

I'm not watching that review.

 

[ReiGun]

When did I say I wanted it to fail?
.

Was speaking generally.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

It's happening again.

It's hard to tell for sure, but I think most of those claws are more convincing effects than X-men Origins.

True, and while this is a great opportunity to remind people that Rotten Tomatoes is almost never used as intended, and its much more useful as a means to discover new film writers, and find to find older, experienced writers who speak to you in an interesting/meaningful way than it ever was/will be an "efficient" way to tell if a movie is good...

...it is a review thread and RT is the biggest aggregator of reviews, so RT is going to be kinda important.

I mean, I still don't really get "Rottenwatching" as a pastime, and I still think reading the percentage and thinking that's a great way to tell the quality of the film is not how you're supposed to do this at all.

But the actual reading of well-written opinions and the discussions that can spring from those opinions is one of the best things that can come from these sorts of threads.

...


...and then there's that Campea cap upthread.

 

[piratepwnsninja]

I will never understand why some people are so invested in hoping that something turns out bad.

 

[jett]

Well if we're doing this

 

[FTF]

I will never understand why some people are so invested in hoping that something turns out bad.

I

Spoiler

would like to

think most people here and really anticipating the reviews are hoping it's good.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Clearly it is here.

There have been three DCEU films so far.

All of them are complete trash.

All of them are rotten on RottenTomatoes.

No one is saying RT is the end all. But as every single movie so far has been rotten, people are obviously going to pay attention to the RT on this one. It is very likely going to be the first one that not only isn't a dumpster fire but a legitimately good film.

Also, and this is important: you're in a review thread.

 

[MMarston]

I will never understand why some people are so invested in hoping that something turns out bad.

Mainly just to be entertained the internet meltdowns, really. I'd like to believe most people don't really want a movie itself to be bad.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

[Future Foundation]

It's hard to tell for sure, but I think most of those claws are more convincing effects than X-men Origins.

To be fair, that's not a huge bar.

Spoiler

Fuck those claws sucked.

Armond White is going to love this movie.

People need to stop giving him any attention.

 

[Escape Goat]

Well if we're doing this

What are we doing

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Mainly just to be entertained the internet meltdowns, really. I'd like to believe most people don't really want a movie itself to be bad.

I mean, people talk about that BvS review thread, but I know for my part (and I think for a lot of people that participated) people were not hoping for a bad movie. At all. They wanted that movie to come through.

But when the reviews just kept coming, people basically had no choice but to roll with it.

 

[The Kree]

Please be good.

Yeah I think it was just cathartic. Anyone with an interest in these IPs and characters would hope for the best. I want to believe it's being turned around for the best.

Goddammit

Do thumbnails like that really entice people to watch these YouTube reviews? I already had a college degree when Youtube launched, so I freely admit that I might be missing something that appeals to our newest crop of internet denizens.
