Elsalvajeloco Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I think a few people have seen it, but not enough to where you can accurately gauge a response one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate I missed doing this prior to Civil War, which has probably claimed the #1 slot on RT if not in Box Office. Would love more players, but keep in mind that it doesn't have to be in this week. The next movie in the pool doesn't come out until May 20th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Oh yeah - that Apoclypse score is going to bone a lot of people. Because that is like 27 reviews already so it ain't reaching the same heights as Days of Future Past Well good to know I'm already out of this year and only one movie has officially been released 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.K.o.S. Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 Scott Mendelson called it a "franchise-killing disaster" in a somewhat spoilery review. Bryan Singer’s would-be trilogy capper is a shocking miss. It is a lifeless and hollow shell of a picture, lacking exciting action, strong character interplay, or compelling storytelling. It is the nadir of the franchise, determined to make you apologize for every mean thing you’ve ever said about Brett Ratner’s rushed X-Men trilogy capper a decade ago. X-Men: The Last Stand is X2: X-Men United compared to X-Men: Apocalypse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 X-Men: Apocalypse is going to fuck up a lot of people, myself included. Fucking hell. I had it high as Bryan Singer was 3-0 with X-Men films, the streak of X-Men films from X-Men: First Class’ return to form to Deadpool and the early review embargo.

Below are 20 movies set to be released this summer. You need to make two lists: List 1: Choose 15 of the 20 movies and rank them from highest to lowest according to the domestic box office gross you think each movie will make through its first 4 weeks (28 days) of release. Note that you're not trying to leave out the 5 movies you think will do the worst; just leave out the 5 that you feel least confident about ranking. Also, you don't need to guess how much money they'll make - just rank them. I'll be using boxofficemojo.com as the source for how much money each movie makes. List 2: Choose 15 of the 20 movies (doesn't have to be the exact same 15 as your first list) and rank them from highest to lowest according to the rating you think each movie will have on rottentomatoes.com after it's been out for 4 weeks. Again, you're not necessarily trying to leave out the five worst movies. Scoring: Your two lists will be compared with the actual ranks of the 15 movies, and your score will be the sum of the absolute values of the differences between the rank you gave to each movie and its correct rank. LOWEST score wins. Tiebreaking: In addition to your two lists, pick any one of the twenty movies and post exactly how much money you think it'll make domestically, in dollars, in its first 28 days of release. If two or more people end up with the same number of points, the person whose dollar figure is closer to correct (on a percentage basis) will be ranked ahead of the other. If that still results in a tie, then the person who posted their entry earlier will be ranked ahead of the other. Also, if two or more movies end up tied in box office gross right down to the dollar (pretty much impossible, but just in case), or end up with the exact same rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the ranking of those two movies will be set to whatever is more favorable for each individual person.

RIPPA Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Angry Birds only has 16 reviews - usually when the movie hits wide release and the early reviews are in the middle, it goes down. Now it might not fall to the 20s where I was hoping it would but 30ish should minimize the damage Apocalypse climbing to 53% bucks this trend for now So I am not as panicked about my RT list as I was over the weekend - that could change though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 The contest just started and already the butt clenching over the Rottten Tomatoes is so very real. I banked on Neighbors 2 being rubbish and critics doing what they always do and giving Burton/Depp a free pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.K.o.S. Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 Without looking it up, I feel like the bloom has been off that rose for a while. Dark Shadows didn't do well, and I don't think critics exactly loved the first Alice either. edit: Okay I see what you're saying. My two examples were the last two Depp/Burton movies, but everything before that was good. So you could maybe have argued that those were blips.
