Question for anyone who's paid attention to these sorts of games before:
Has it been the case that these RT predictions on the part of users tend to more or less line up with what said users end up thinking about the film themselves?
Basically: Is this thread more or less stage one in a two-stage confirmation bias experiment?

How dare you imply such a thing good sir! Now excuse me, I must return to twitter and continue to look at only positive reactions.
Man of Steel was soul less garbage with CW level cgi

Nope, Man of Steel is the best CBM ever made. And it has the greatest superhero theme.
Until BvS hits that is.

I can't tell which one of these hyperbolic comments is more awful. It's a toss up.

If Man of Steel is the best CBM ever made, then everything else must be terrible considering how mediocre the former is.
Edit: hopefully it's just a troll post
Good question, I have always wondered what influence my pre-conceived expectations of a film have had on biasing my final opinion on it.
I'd like to think not that much but who knows.
Though with threads like these I tend to just project based on the moment and forget about it. For me the larger potential for bias probably comes from critical consensus before a film and more importantly opinions I respect setting up certain expectations.

You'll struggle, you'll race behind, but some day, you will see its greatness. You will join us.
Yeah, I was late to Man of Steel due to all the strong hate. Actually only got around to it a few weeks ago.
It certainly wasn't the best comic book movie I've seen. It certainly wasn't the worst either. It was pretty to look at, which all Snyder films are, and I thought it was decent overall.
I also am not a big comic book fan in general outside watching the movies, so the whole ending didn't really bother me the way I guess it did for fans of the character.

MoS is right up there with your typical MCU movie. All for different reasons as well, different strengths and different weaknesses compared to what you get out of 90%+ of MCU movies. The ending bothered me mostly due to execution rather than what happened. What bothered me a lot in the movie was
Clark letting his dad die because of the secret.

I'm sorry but this comment made me laugh.
And since I guess I don't know the character outside of the film, stuff like that just passes by without much problem for me.
Ranking them somewhere in the Marvel movies is probably right for me. Better then many, not as good as some. But I also seem to be less into Marvel movies then the critical consensus, so there is that too.
Ooh saving this one specifically to eat the most crow

I don't want to start a thing, but how come so many people are so confident in Chris Terrio's writing? He has two scripts to his name, one which was meh and the other which was good, but overrated. He's not exactly an established, consistently fantastic writer.
My 60 year old mother who sometimes gets me to proofread her emails can write better than Goyer though, so it is doubtlessly a step up.
OT:
74% critic RT
87 audience RT

The tomatometer isn't an indicator of how "good" a movie is. It's just the percentage of critics who gave it a pass. Binary, yes or no, would you recommend this movie to an audience. With that, I can see why more critics would be inclined to tell movie-goers to go see TDKR and not Watchmen. Watchmen really isn't for everyone, whereas TDKR is pretty inoffensive viewing for anyone who has 3 hours to spare and mid-high tolerance for cheesy exposition.
What's weirder is the average rating.

Wow, was looking at the Rotten Tomatoes of all Zach Snyder movies. Even 300 and Watchman are in the 60s. Critics are pretty divided on him. There's an argument based on Snyder's record that, at best, this movie will get 6.5, maybe 7.0 if it's lucky.

I dunno, it's rotten mush? Or a rotten tomato after being thrown because a movie is bad... I guess?

Damn MOS criticism really was split right down to the middle. You either like it or you don't. I liked it, and every trailer (including trailer 2) has made so darn hyped, but I got to be realistic.
My guess :
75% RT <
RT critic: 7/10

How 300 and Watchmen got scored in the 60s is beyond me, both should be high 70s-low 80s at the very least.

I've seen the tweets, people are excited after seeing this.

Rotten tomatoes aren't green though.
It comes from the act of throwing rotten tomatoes at the stage of a bad play/performance.
I wonder if some critics weren't ready for a more mature/complex comic book movie at the time. I suspect that it would be better received now as the notion that comic book movies = lighthearted spectacle for children only is not as strong.
