I don't use rotten tomatoes to know what's good , I use it to learn what is mind numbingly bad so when my mom asks me to go see battleship or grown ups I know that I'd rather stay home and that the free dinner and popcorn aren't worth that much torture. I'll watch below average movies , but some movies are just actively painful to watch.

Legitimate criticism is absolutely fair game. The whole "What's this Star Wars thing anyway, I don't like Harry Skywalker reversing the polarity, it's hardly Kubrick, at least the Prequels tried new things like Taxation" - 3/10 brigade is coming though
Tbh, I don't care. 50 reviews and still 100% is enough for me to know the movie will at least be solid. I did have faith in JJ Abrams to deliver, as I've loved all his work, but there was still a tiny grain of doubt. Thankfully these reviews essentially clear that doubt away. In all honesty, I'm elated. I really am. We've basically been waiting over 3 decades for another back to form Star Wars. Three….decades….

1 part boring, 1 part the most cringeworthy "romance" ever set to film.
yeah something's not right here... stupid metacritic
How about just quit with the eye rolling attempt to be "that guy" acting all smug and thinking they have made some sort of profound commentary by applying their freshman level sociology lessons and some hip shooting freudian analysis to a frigging aggregate review site and the light hearted thread following it.

People discussing the validity of different scoring systems and sites and how they are critics or reviewers are the most funny thing ever.
That's it, given this particular context: from all the thousands of films this could be examined with, SW: TFA has to be the less appropriate, as it's coming with one of the biggest marketing campaigns ever done for a film, and entire decades of nostalgia and fanboism behind the series. So the results aren't going be exactly unbiased.

Plus some of the most amateurish action in the series, in the form of the droid production line.

I legitimately fell asleep in the theater for about 50 minutes of AOTC and didn't feel like I missed much at all.

That was my favourite Sonic the Hedgehog level, tho.
(I remember it was hastily shot in reshoots or whatever)

100% rotten tomatoes? Holy shit this movie is going to make gold.
It's like poetry, they rhyme.
I'm sure when I inevitably see this, I'll be somewhere in the David Poland camp, as someone who doesn't like JJ Abrams as a director. Given my thoughts on the other films Abrams has made, I fully expect to have similar problems with the characterization, arcs, and senseless mysteries here.

There's only one Star War in the movie how can it possibly achieve such a score?

That was painful to read. But ok.
Well, you never really can be unbiased/objective. Reasonable should be achievable.
I doubt it. We just wanted a good Star Wars movie again.

Cool. Sounds like a fun movie so I am not worried about it.

I read it too but it came across more positive than negative to me
To be honest, 99% of the opinion in all the GAF threads in the last few weeks IMO seem to have lent to 'Expecting it to be solid, not great' so I don't think the butthurt will be too forceful

I'm just saying, we are going to have few "reasonable" opinions during the first three weeks.

So happy (and relieved) that reviews are positive, looking forward to watching this even more now. I can see me going to see it 2 or 3 times.
