Terrible

[Future Foundation]

What's with all the No Scores? Is that common?

I was really looking forward to seeing this, but after the first few trailers I could tell it wouldn't be as good as I'd hoped.

I think they're reviews/reviewers that don't use scores.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

I'd thought it'd be at least a day or two before we got cries of conspiracy from people.

The internet moves so fast nowadays...

 

[Trokil]

You know that Scarface was a remake eh?

Yes, I should have also said again.

 

[excelsiorlef]

if this movie isn't trash or the best movie ever, this thread is gonna be boring

Nah dude we're already seeing only the bad ones are truth all others are bought or SJWs.

Wouldn't get that as easily with a consensus positive.

This is entertaining.

Not surprising, dude is a Gamergate clown.

Were there meltdowns over gods of egypt?

Stop being sexist, please.

 

[Sanjuro]

It's really not.

Current RT scores seem to say otherwise.



Let the salt flow freely.

I mean, if that is the barometer of your comparison then sure!

 

[Dalek]

I was speaking about whats been on RT so far, calm down man, no need to get worked up. lol

That was "worked up"?

Were there meltdowns over gods of egypt?

I thought so too but now we are getting conspiracy theories about the movie holding a fresh rating. Could get interesting.

Indiana Jones Crystal Skull got an RT score of 77%

Interpret as you like

Spoiler

Ghostbusters doesn't look anything close to Crystal Skull "quality;" reserving final judgement until I see it myself

 

[excelsiorlef]

Stop being sexist, please.

I hope you don't think that was some salient point.

If anyone is an expert of sexist attacks, it's Mundane Matt.

Lmao shit I didn't even notice that was him. Perfect. It read like satire but it's not. Wonderful

 

[Corpsepyre]

Well, this isn't entertaining. I suppose it'll end up something like ..60-70 % critics, 20-30 % users.

 

[AkumaNiko]

#NotMyAnubis

....OK i guess the joke is over now. It seemed people were sarcastically getting worked up over the reviews of an ok at best movie, but i guess the fun is over now

 

[brandonh83]

Indiana Jones Crystal Skull got an RT score of 77%

I'd give it like a 7.5 or something. So for me that's not too off kilter

Crystal Skull is a fun movie. I've seen it 4-5 times and think it's just as good as Temple and Last Crusade.

*hides*

Most of the Young Indiana Jones series was better than Crystal Skull.

 

[AkumaNiko]

Can we all just stop and relish in the fact that this is getting a better score than BvS?

 

[Roberto Larcos]

Still early yet, and it's bouncing around a lot but 71% (25/35) is respectable and far better than I expected given the trailers. I want to see what Kermode, Stuckman and Jahns have to say.

Love listening to Kermode's reviews, but comedy is probably his biggest blind-spot.

 

[SpaceWolf]

I'm finding it hard to detect in here whether the majority of people wanted this film to review brilliantly or terribly.

 

[esmith08734]

73%...

How about we don't.

 

[TheBowen]

Seems like i will walk out of this movie with the same reaction of 'that was good' as i did the original. Good to see the movies reviewing okay.'

Crystal Skull is better than Temple of Doom. There, I said it.

 

[Trokil]

I don't care about the scores, I just want it to tank at the box office and Ben Hur as well. I hope all remakes and reboots tank so terribly, that Hollywood is finally forced to make new movies.

Maybe they even let Morgan Freeman start his Rendezvous with Rama movie for example.

I just want it to be enjoyable.

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

I like both movies!

 

[Nudull]

BvS's failure is an accomplishment in and of itself.

That isn't hard Ghostbusters 2016 would have had to have been an epic fuck up for it to score that badly. Honestly the average-decent review score is worst case scenario for anyone who got suckered into the round and round debate since in the end it's neither a bad enough or insulting enough remake to hate nor is it a remake that elevates the original source material into something truly it's own. Had this film been called anything other then Ghostbusters nobody would have given a shit and it'd just be another decent Fieg comedy which at this point you know if you'll enjoy it or not.

 

[Violence Jack]

Looks like this is ending up about where I figured it was. Seems like it's a decent movie that had some absolutely terrible trailers. Still not planning to see it in theaters since I'm not a fan of Feig's comedies. The box office thread next week should be very interesting though.

We seem to have this conversation every single summer. Hollywood always makes "new" movies. Some of the best movies that have come out this year were all originals (hell, an original one just made good money at the box office).

 

[Tadale]

Reviews are better than I thought! Looking forward to seeing this next weekend.

Why don't you just change that avatar already?!

 

[Lothar]

Temple of Doom is the best Indiana Jones film and Crystal Skull is not better than the best IJ film.

 

[Trokil]

We seem to have this conversation every single summer. Hollywood always makes new movies. Some of the best movies that have come out this year were all originals (hell, an original one just made good money at the box office).

But they still spent almost a billion dollar for remakes (without marketing). That would have been enough to make a lot of movies.

 

[sonto340]

Never seen Ghostbusters. Probably gonna watch this movie then the original so I don't have any expectations.

 

[ZoddGutts]

Sounds like a decent but forgettable movie.

Hollywood makes new movies all the time. Remakes have been around since time immemorial

 

[Goodstyle]

No! The avatar encapsulates all that is BvS in a single image!

If you truly think Hollywood makes no new movies, I suggest you go out more. There are hundreds of them every year.

 

[Future Foundation]

And they still do. A LOT of them. More than you think.

 

[excelsiorlef]

If you truly think Hollywood makes no new movies, I suggest you go out more. There are hundreds of them every year.

And some of them are movies like 2012, Gods of Egypt, and junk like that.

This is unacceptable. You watch the original now!

 

[eFKac]

62 on meta?

Haha that's great. Didn't like the trailers but gonna watch close to release then. Pretty optimistic.

No that order makes sense.

Enjoy the new one fresh and then enjoy the classic after.
