95% and 9.1 average score on RT...WTF???=O

 

[RedAssedApe]

though the trailer looked pretty boring but nice reviews

 

[7Th]

Mario Galaxy was a more artful game than Breath of the Wild and Metroid Prime.

 

[PeskyToaster]

why does compuserve gotta hate?

 

[ERotIC]

9.1/10 average on RT with 21 reviews, 98 on metacritic with 13 reviews.

This is so exciting.

9.1 is a stunning average.

 

[Fancyarcher]

Best picture material here folks. Nolan's way overdue, he changed superhero films, and now he's changing war films too.

 

[Beer Monkey]

my local theater has screenings on thursday 70mm for 9.99 and imax for 13.99, shouldn't it be the other way around?

Sounds like they are getting one of the 70MM non Imax prints. They exist.

 

[Dahbomb]

We gonna eat tonight!

 

[Ōkami]

Mario Galaxy would be the Wall-E/Up/Toy Story 3, take your pick.

 

[piratepwnsninja]

why does compuserve gotta hate?

I'm waiting to see Prodigy's review before I secure my tickets.

 

[Gnome Scat]

Wow, honestly better than expected. Will definitely catch this one in theaters.

The average score is what's going to separate this from the other similar RT scores...like SMH has a great score of 92%, but only a 7.6 average score.

That's why the % is bullshit, I think GAF should switch to the average score for thread titles.

 

[ERotIC]

The average score is what's going to separate this from the other similar RT scores...like SMH has a great score of 92%, but only a 7.6 average score.

Which is why the 9.1 rating is so stunning. Like, that's almost unheard of.

IMAX 70mm/15 > 70mm > 35mm

What's the last movie to have that high of a score?

 

[bananafactory]

What's the last movie to have that high of a score?

Social Network had a 9. Boyhood is at 9.2

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Just for posterity's sake

 

[MrPink93485]

What's the last movie to have that high of a score?

Gravity has a 9/10. Same with Social Network.

Mad Max Fury Road is at 8.6, but it started around 9/10 as well.

 

[lovely ladies]

A 98 metascore with more than 5-6 reviews is insane, there's a 70 and 75 sprinkled in the average too.

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

Sounds good. Maybe he finally made a movie with less exposition and shitty dialogue.

 

[Meowster]

AHH - can't wait to go see it though I'm not sure if he'll ever be able to top Interstellar for me!

 

[Guzim]

Beautiful, isn't it?

 

[Timu]

Just for posterity's sake

Um, it's at 96% now!

 

[Prophet Steve]

What's the last movie to have that high of a score?

Moonlight has a 9, Dunkirk is currently below that.

EDIT: Sorry, Dunkirk has higher again, anyhow it's about the same as Moonlight.

 

[Jampsuliini]

I'm usually not into war movies, but Nolan is the only director I really follow and I've loved all of his movies

Spoiler

except the end of Interstellar

 

[Ricky_R]

Man, if that rating remains that high...

 

[JB1981]

Daaaaaamnnnnnn.

 

[ERotIC]

What's the last movie to have that high of a score?

It's really hard to tell because they put so much emphasis on the percentage. But for reference, MM: Fury Road got an 8.6.

 

[GravityInsanity]

Nolan the mastermind.

 

[Ashhong]

But this certainly isn't a ”Harry Styles movie" or a ”Tom Hardy movie." Instead, it's an experience. And it's a theatrical experience unlike pretty much anything I've seen before. It's non-stop intensity that will both exhaust a viewer and make one grateful that we didn't actually have to live through that hell.

What a quote. Goddamn!!!!!!

The rotten/fresh score for this seems like it would be exceptionally high considering all the praise of the "Experience". How bad does the actual movie have to be for a reviewer to not recommend the film?

 

[- J - D -]

Awesome. Seeing it in 6 hours. So stoked!

 

[ERotIC]

Social Network had a 9. Boyhood is at 9.2

Oh, good call, where did you pull up those ratings?

 

[Dany]

How does he do it? Every. Time.

 

[Broadbandito]

97 with 20 counted on metacritic now holy fuck

 

[Fancyarcher]

Up to a 9.2. average. It keeps rising.

 

[usp84]

I can't believe this movie won't be at my countrie's cinemas until the 24th August!!!!It was the same with the Dark Knight Rises DAAMNNN

 

[bananafactory]

Oh, good call, where did you pull up those ratings?

I just remembered them scoring very high off the top of my head so I manually searched them to see what the actual numbers were.

Not sure if you can get just a list sorted by avg rating.

 

[Tugatrix]

Nolan did it again didn't he

 

[Timedog]

Nolan is god. News at 11.

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

If it's not IMAX 70mm are there other kinds of IMAX? I have an IMAX ticket and all I know is that it isn't 70mm.

 

[Shalashaska]

Based Nolan at it again. Already had my Friday tickets for 70mm IMAX, this just ratchets up the excitement.

 

[More_Badass]

This is some quote from the EW review

Nolan has for all intents and purposes conjured the British response to Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan. If you can imagine that film’s kinetic, nerve-wracking 29-minute opening D-Day invasion stretched out to feature length, this is what it would look like.

 

[DirtyManos]

Wow holy fuck. I've been off the Nolan hype train since Rises and Interstellar disappointed me so I didn't really follow Dunkirk, but these reviews be pulling me baaaaack innnnnn.....

 

[Meowster]

97 with 20 counted on metacritic now holy fuck

That critical acclaim though. Wow - I knew it would get good scores but wasn't expecting something that fantastic.

 

[Ushay]

Right IMAX it is then.

Damn been on a streak recently, first I saw Spiderman, thought it was great. Then Apes, thought that was spectacular. And now this looks to be better than both!

 

[Timeaisis]

I doubt I'll be able to see this on IMAX, but 70mm should be the next best thing.

 

[hydruxo]

This is some quote from the EW review

OH wow.

 

[Indelible]

I'am not really into war films but I will make an exception for Nolan, sounds like IMAX is the way to see this.

 

[Icolin]

Right IMAX it is then.

Damn been on a streak recently, first I saw Spiderman, thought it was great. Then Apes, thought that was spectacular. And now this looks to be better than both!

For me, it's been Wonder Woman, then It Comes at Night, then Baby Driver, then Spider-Man, then Apes, and now (seemingly) Dunkirk. So good.
