What is the lowest RT score a film has ever had in one of these things?

I put that shit at 5 on my RT

Ouch.

[The Natural]

There's always a surprise or two every year with a film either doing better or worse than expected. I'm interested in seeing the reviews for The Crow as FIVE have it last place on the Rotten Tomatoes list, myself included. Two second bottom. One #11 and one #8.

[The Natural]

Alien: Romulus is going to fuck me judging by early WOM. I had it 11th on my RT list because of every film post Alien/Aliens.

[Andrew POE!]

The Crow may be worse than Borderlands and Madame Web, so my expectations are sub basement level.

Oh, yeah. Mine are so low. Despite that I'll see it when it hits Sky Movies for completions sake having watched all four, soon to be five. Certainly won't be at the cinema. Had one of my best ever movie going experiences seeing The Crow for the 30th Anniversary this year. I've wanted to see it on the silver screen since I first watched it in 2000.

I did a quick scan - it took me getting back to 2017 to find something under 20%

The Emoji Movie was at 8% for contest purposes that year

Borderlands has gotten up to 10% now.

For sub-20% ratings, I'm going from memory but I'm pretty sure the 2008 contest included The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor which is currently at 13%, and The Happening which is currently at 18%.

[RIPPA]

Well Borderlands opened with $8.8 million which is… not good

[Curt McGirt]

The Romulus trailer came on TV last night while I was sitting in the dark about to fall asleep and I definitely avoided my eyes; the Isolation commercial that used to come on was bad enough to see around bedtime with no lights on. And then I dreamed about Leatherface. Go figure.

[The Natural]

Borderlands. More like Bored and Bland.

It's the people that are trying to ape David Ehrlich and IndieWire and see how much they can hate a movie that's causing that. I was skeptic with hating on Deadpool & Wolverine until I saw it. I'm seeing Alien Romulus tomorrow and will try to go into it without pre-judging it.

I'm actually gonna try to go today at the first showing in my theater; never done that before, but I got the day off. I'm sure all the real mutants will be out.

This isn't really surprising anymore in the current movie landscape but Borderlands did so badly that they are moving up its On Demand release.

It appears that the movie will now hit VOD on August 30

I haven't done the math but I think that means it will hit VOD before its run in this poll ends (which I think makes it the 2nd movie do that this year since I think Fall Guy was on VOD after like 21 days)

The Crow is 24% rotten on Rotten Tomatoes. No surprise.

The Crow (1994), 86% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.

The Crow: City of Angels (1996), 14% rotten on Rotten Tomatoes.

Brutal review:

The Crow 2.0 is a total, head-in-hands disaster, incoherently plotted and sloppily made, destined to join the annals of the very worst and most pointless remakes ever made.
