Oh, yeah, the average would go up if all DC films were included.

MoS and BvS venture into territories where if a reviewer is lukewarm on them could persuade a reviewer to withhold recommendation for families / general audiences. A lot of their reviews reflect this. (Along with the more specifically negative reviews and specifically positive reviews).

Have you checked out Metacritc? They tend to be more precise than RT.

They are better. But I can also safely say that I've never decided to see or not see a movie based on an aggregate score on either.

Neither have I but it's nice to read them to get some sense of that you might be signing up for.

I wonder how many reviews will pop up at 12:01 am? I probably will stay up to read at least a couple of non-spoiler reviews.

imsounoriginal · 05-30-2017, 03:42 AM

Never understood why reviews matter so much for movies like these. Just about all of us already know if we're gonna see this or not.

Like bad reviews have EVER stopped movies from being huge box office hits.

All embargoes do is make films that have the potential to be good make audiences leery that no reviews are published until a day or two before the movie opens. May as well just lay the cards on the table...did it matter that piece of crap franchises like Fifty Shades Of Grey or Twilight were roasted by critics for each and every installment? No, stupid teen girls and sex-starved women still flocked to them.

Definitely not going to be swayed one way or the other by reviews on whether or not I see a movie but I have to admit I am curious. I'm sure most people are and want to hear what other people have to say...especially after the mostly unwarranted abuse DC movies have had to endure before they were even screened.

doctor_who · 05-30-2017, 04:05 AM

I'm hoping for the best and that this wasn't interfered with by the studio like Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad.

I loved Batman v Superman either way, but the directors cut was a masterpiece and we got a lessor version in theaters.

I just want this movie to get good reviews critically for the sake of the Justice League.

18/19 reviews on RT are positive so far. Looks like DC finally has a critical success story for the first time in years.

I've already read a few and unsurprisingly, many of them are making it political and from what I've read so far, they're bringing in gender politics into it.
Superhero movie or no superhero movie, I go in be entertained and not have politics shoved in my face and especially from the critics.
That's what concerns me that there's some bias here.

How surprising.

The positive reviews on RT just keep coming! Strong female superhero in a big action movie. How could anyone not give that good reviews? I'm going this Sunday to see it in IMAX 3d! Don't forget to get your free limited edition poster if you go to see it in real 3d! Just hoping they have it for 3d IMAX as well!

Since trade papers could start posting reviews a few days ago why couldn't RT post their reviews until now?

The Guardian hates it. What?

So, what you're saying is a female superhero in a big action movie should automatically get good reviews, whether it's good or bad?
Just to be clear on that.
