Check your eyes old man So you see the point I'm trying to make, granddad, since I also know that it has been 100% for over a month (Hint: All caps and a lot of !'s ring a bell?). The reviews are still coming in and it is still 100%, so it's not likely to drop on release. It will probably end up being the best reviewed movie of the summer.

That could easily fall on either side depending on the number of reviews. It gained a whooping 3 reviews in 3 weeks So let's not act like it being 100% is shocking All it takes is 4 or 5 bad reviews to put it behind Wonder Woman (and most likely Dunkirk since critics are sheep) And Captain Underpants will be one of the best reviewed movies of the summer.

There was probably several critics that chose to rewrite Wonder Woman review in the matter of a few hours. Imagine having to marinate on a film that does not have has negative review yet, and most likely, won't have a negative review until it actually gets released to almost everyone.

RIPPA Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Was Baby Driver shown at a Festival or something - looking at the review dates and the majority of them are from Mid-March EDIT - Found my own answer within the reviews. It was screened at SXSW - which somewhat makes sense considering it's heavy music focus (which a lot of the reviews are focusing on) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Also - and this is a RT question using Baby Driver as the example - do critics write their own blurbs? I always thought the little blurbs where pulled out of the reviews but the guy from Variety's blurb is Quote Like all Edgar Wright movies, "Baby Driver" is a blast, featuring wall-to-wall music and a surfeit of inspired ideas. But it's also something of a mess ... And those words appear nowhere in his actual review So I am wondering if the blurbs are from the reviewer or is RT writing them and (like headlines) can totally misrepresent a review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Well, as everyone loves to tell me, the content of the review really doesn't matter so long as the indicator points to Fresh or Rotten. 3 hours ago, RIPPA said: And Captain Underpants will be one of the best reviewed movies of the summer. I have no faith in humanity anymore. At 71 reviews posted, I still call bullshit on this. No major summer movie ever released has had as few reviews as this one.

It is the fact that this movie appears to be praised for qualities that would damn other movies and even the lukewarm reviews are certified fresh.

Niners Fan in CT Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Animated films do seem to be judged in a different way than other films.. Most adults I've talked to who have seen things like Secret Life of Pets or what's the other one... Sing or Minions, they had a lukewarm or "ehhhhh" reaction to them but you'll often see most critics will give them a passing grade. I think an animated flick has to be a complete abomination to fall into the 40s or below Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 For the moment - Transformers has dropped to 15% which ties it with The Mummy So depending on how the tiebreaker works out - I might have the tiniest bit of relief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 God - one of the Fresh reviews of Transformers (which is a 4 out of 4) wrote Quote It's … kind of entertaining? In the way I assume riding a roller coaster while on meth is probably kind of entertaining? It's somewhat funny and it's somewhat exciting but, more than anything else, it's like stepping into a wind tunnel cranked up to Category 5. You don't soon forget a thing like that, and unforgettable moments at the theater are few and far between these days. The reviewer than says he can't remember any of the plot and then says Quote I don't like to do this—stars are so gauche—but I feel the need to give Transformers: The Last Knight four stars out of four. And I also give it zero stars out of four. This does not "average" out to two stars. It exists in both states of quality at the same time, a sort of Schrodinger's Movie. Transformers: The Last Knight is great and terrible all at once. Behold. Tremble. Consume. So if anyone wanted another example of RT's flawed methodology 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.K.o.S. Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 Scores are a little skewed this week as Transformers is currently at the bottom of the box office list, but that's just because it's only been out for 2 days. So everyone who has it high on their box office list temporarily picks up a ton of points, while others who have it lower or left it off benefit. Although, Transformers didn't exactly have an amazing debut for a Wednesday opening. It did similar numbers to Moana. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Transformers is looking at probably ~$65-70M over 5 days. Maybe a little more depending on it's Sat. bump but holy shit. Not good.
