[Superhero 101]

Good to see the positive reviews come in! Happy that phase 4 is ending on a high (unlike the other disappointing phase 4 films/tv shows)

Variety review has a major spoiler so beware

Wow its really 29/1 for Marvel Studios.

I don't think I could mention another movie franchise with that good of a record. I can only think of Middle Earth films which have all of their siX films fresh and Hunger Games/Toy Story. But movie franchise with over seven movies?

Franchise maybe not, but studio yes. Pixar is the only studio with a better critic rating than Marvel I believe.

Idk, Cars 2 has like 39%, so I think they're about equal

Variety review has a major spoiler so beware

I think this is the second time Variety put a blatant spoiler in review of an MCU film. I forgot which Phase 4 film it was but I recall a lot of folks ripped on Variety for that.

What are the requirements for Youtube reviewers to get on RT?
Like do you need a certain number of subscribers to count, or is any schmuck with a channel included??

 

[Venom 1988]

I'm guessing it's gonna end somewhere between 88-92%

 

[OroroGambitFan]

this dude gave it a C+ which isn't bad at all, but rated it as "rotten"

After a hearty start, the film sputters in its second half, dragging through its bloated runtime on its way to its at once overblown and underwhelming finale.

November 8, 2022 | Rating: C+

Much lower than Eternals' 47%. And Marvel Studios have released more films.

 

[psylockolussus]

Down to 89%.

Nice! Looks like a decent score is safe then and a very good score is likely on the cards.

 

[Iceman]

Down to 89%.

88% after 132 reviews now but 7.8 average rating which is a good sign.

Someone who gave the movie a C+ and is counted as a rotten for the movie reached out to me on Twitter

Here is what he said verbatim:

Hi -- RT assigns the splats or tomatoes, and it's a simple pass/ fail grading system that does not account for middle ground. (B-/ C+ tends to be their dividing line, although occasionally a C+ can earn a 'fresh' rating, depending on overall tone of review.) Anyway, thank you for reading, I appreciate it!

It is the 3rd best reviewed phase 4 film and probably the only one to stay in the 80s.

90s- Spider-Man, Shang-Chi
80s- Black Panther
70s- Black Widow, Doctor Strange
60s- Thor
40s- Eternals

Yeah I'm guessing it'll settle in the mid 80s (83-87) likely 85% which is great! Think the running time and multiple characters and subplots might be a bit much for some. Those things seem to be the most consistent complaints

 

[Zyraquis]

Worse than that Japanese anime One Piece Film Red (95%), what a flop

probably B+/A- Cinemascore? Leg would be like typical 2.3-2.5x then.

 

[psylockolussus]

CinemaScore probably would be A-.

 

[Iceman]

87% now and 7.7.

 

[psylockolussus]

It just keeps going down.

 

[Iceman]

87% and 7.6 after 144 reviews.

 

[OroroGambitFan]

It just keeps going down.

that statement is misleading... yes, it's down but it's down reasonably it didn't plummet or sink by any means just small ticks down- which is okay and expected due to the runtime and multiple characters and subplots (that was never gonna work for everyone).

Right now we're at 87% with 145 Reviews in so far (126 Fresh / 19 Rotten). It'll likely get lowered a bit more but i fully expect it to stay above 83%. Anywhere in the 80s is fine, but 85 and above would be sweet and a homerun!

 

[psylockolussus]

I saw it started with 94% to 93 to 88 to 87. It was going down. And who knows it could still go down. I was just basing it on what I saw.
