When does the embargo lift exactly?

I'm seeing 5pm est in a bunch of articles.

 

[Mr Cola]

I know Collider have their spoiler free review going up today

 

[ratcliffja]

Colin Trevorrow got a Velociraptor to hop on a T-rex while fighting the Indominus.



I am fairly confident he wouldn't pass up the opportunity.

That scene just made me even more frustrated that the rest of the movie was so awful. That last fight sequence belonged in a much better movie.

 

[Quick]

Reviews are out today at 5:00 PM ET.

Hold onto your butts.

 

[Cross-Section]

Actually, I'm hearing that it might have been moved up to as soon as 9AM PST, so, um, yeah, hold onto those booties.

I'm, not supposed to do a ROGUE ONE review until 5pm, but I'm allowed to talk about it. So I'll say:

Relax. It's good.

That's so weird. It almost looks like a clip from the Clone Wars series but I know it's from a live action movie.

Sweet. Lets see dem scores.

 

[SumptuousLemur]

[SumptuousLemur]

I am thinking 83%

 

[Vinc]

92%

 

[Dusktildawn48]

Ill be happy if its anything over 70%
I'm guessing 78%

 

[jack_package_200]

Ill be happy if its anything over 70%

This

 

[Apharmd]

Low 80s. If this is anything like Godzilla, but enough Disney reshoots to make the characters less boring.

 

[purseowner]

I'm going to guess on the optimistic side and say 80 MC.

 

[LegalEagleMike]

Imma go 86%

 

[Lebron]

When we getting a Wedge movie

 

[molnizzle]

Imma go 86%

Same here. 86%

Early impressions have been positive. Even the people saying it isn't perfect admit that it's still pretty good. It'll have a good RT.

 

[CaptainSmirnov]

Gonna say 85%

Spoiler

i still think it will end up deserving a higher rating than Force Awakens even though i enjoyed it

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

 

[Anth0ny]

expecting high 70s

 

[BrokenFiction]

88%

 

[Toa TAK]

Are we placing bets?

 

[smisk]

Goddamn there's no way I'm gonna be able to stay off Twitter until Friday. Hope reviewers are careful with spoilers.

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

83%

 

[Haloid1177]

Gonna say 85%

Spoiler

i still think it will end up deserving a higher rating than Force Awakens even though i enjoyed it

This is what I'm expecting too, except I'd bump it to 84%.

 

[SumptuousLemur]

[liquidtmd]

[Tugatrix]

First review from what appears to be a... college football blog?

Walking out of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, I had two conflicting thoughts, and 20 hours later as I compose this review, those same two competing ideas still exist in my mind. I'm not sure many will agree with me, but truthfully, it may come down to how big a Star Wars fan you are as to whether the film will "work" for you as intended.

The first thought concerns the movie as it is. Taken at face value, Rogue One is a technically stunning achievement with some interesting characters, a few important callbacks to the past (or future), and a good mixture of action and dialogue. It's not short, but not entirely too long, and Michael Giacchino's score is excellent, with a few twists on the John Williams formula. There's a lot to like about the movie, and it's fun to watch.

So why did I leave the theater with such an empty feeling?

That's right, we're getting existential

 

[Toa TAK]

Why so low?

How about 94%

That was the old embargo.

It was changed to 9AM Pacific yesterday. So, in about 15 minutes, yo.

 

[purseowner]

No matter the score, I will go see a star war.

Oh no.
Lower than 50% RT confirmed.

 

[Marjorine]

I have a bad feeling about this.

IDK why. A couple super movie guys at work are convinced it's gonna be horrid.

I'll take a 70%.

79%, 7.1 average rating.
