And I hope you would at least put some effort in your trolling, but as you will learn in time young grasshopper, is that some things are just not meant to be.

I LOVE this gif.
Have to say, I was really worried about this film. A combination of production issues and just not being excited for it. But after seeing commercials and the good reviews I'm excited to see it hopefully Friday.

SOUND THE ALARMS!
Isn't admitting to trolling bannable?

That damn irreverence.
It's the worst.
Sounds decent enough. Feeling pretty unenthusiastic about what I'm hearing though. Even the MCU movies I haven't liked scored in the 70's on RT. Superhero movies in general feel like they are scored a bit easier typically.
I'll watch it on blu ray in a few months or something. I think this will still be a hit at the box office for sure.

the real question is if audiences are going to love it or treat it tepidly
after avengers 2 i'm going to say that it'd be a tepid response, though a tepid response for a marvel movie is probably still something other studios would do anything to get

And back down. I got a feeling that this will settle at about 75. Then again, I'm pretty bad at predicting the RT so what do I know.

The top critics score is too high, it's at 77% to the overall 76%. Something has gotta give, it's always lower. Expect a wave of negatives from top critics soon

Still going to leave it for a rental because of the terrible production history.
But enjoy watching it tomorrow.

An R-rated comedy will not beat a PG-13 superhero film.

Can't wait to see it this weekend!
I think this is kind of the thing that's wrong with review threads. Why in the world do you need mental satisfaction for something you haven't seen yet? Unless you have, in which you should probably already have your own personal conclusion on where it falls.
Wanting something to do well based on popular perception isn't always the best idea, in my opinion. I think it sends mixed messages to Hollywood and ties monetary compensation to often meaningless and the whims of reviewers. It's the kind of thing where it becomes important because we make it so important. We can't say "oh, ignore the reviews" for this movie and then champion the reviews for another.
By "mental satisfaction" I mean an 80 is perceived mentally as much better than a 78 or 79 compared to the difference between 76 and 78. I'm not saying it means anything about the movie's quality, just that it's a mental pitfall.
Oh, I know what you meant, but that's kind of my point: Isn't that an admission what reviews actually say are becoming meaningless to the degree that a number makes a better marketing point?
Reviews, to me, are discussions. No movie's perfect, and a consensus is never an indication of anything other than "this movie offended the least amount of people".
I guess my point is that we're the people who should be talking the least about metascores. We're the informed, those that know enough about film and have seen enough to have conversations outside of marketing.
But anywho, I'm sure people get really fucking annoyed that this gets brought up in every RT thread, so I'll drop it.

It's like GotG without space (and a smaller cast).
Rosenbaum?
Nah, I hear ya. Though I may come across otherwise, I think the content of reviews matter much more than the RT number which is why I included the review snippets. It's just fun to talk about the RT score as well.

Rude/crude like the Simpsons.Could someone explain what irreverance means with an example? English is not my first language
Bobby Roberts

Nah.
Irreverent just means "not reverent." It's not necessarily rude, it's just that it approaches a scenario that would otherwise be taken seriously, and pokes at it humorously or sarcastically. You can do that rudely/crudely, sure, but irreverent is not a synonym for rude. It just means you're not going to be straight-faced about something that would normally call for you to be straight-faced.
Hopefully it ends with an 80%.Yup, back to 78%
When will this rollercoaster end?
Also, CERTIFIED FRESH, BITCHES!!!!

"It has to be 80% or the film is trash!"
Actually I am going to see Minions rated 55%. Not that excited, but yeah...
It's Certified Fresh, that's good enough for me. A nice cool 80% would just be icing on the cake.
The next 12 reviews would all have to be positive for it to hit 80% so it's pretty unlikely at this point. The dream is dead. Long live 78%

I don't think Apatow is guaranteed money these days. Schumer is definitely not guaranteed money. Ant-Man will take the weekend but drop off fast.
