I think if there's one shot it has outside of the US/UK etc, it's that a lot of the pirates won't have the chance to get it for a long while after it's released in their countries, so they'll probably end up going to the theater.
Indeed it was, and now so is this. I wasn't trying to pull a 'crumbling' statement lmao, I'm sure this will be certified fresh, though not near Wright's peak due to what this is.
A lot of heavy praise yeah, 83 so far on MetaCritic. I saw Variety's review is negative. Which ones are pointing out problematic elements? (I feel like I can guess what could be seen as problematic).
Far too early to discuss where Dune will end up with its average rating. Usually it dips from here, but how far will depend on how many high scores it gets. I can say though that it has already matched the amount of top scores that Shang-Chi has gotten from RT critics.
Oh sure there are other really embarrassing ones, but at least Divergent made it to 3 😄, it wasn't a total rejection right out of the gate. If Dune gets anywhere close to three films before it all crumbles, it'll be a huge win.
I saw some people comparing the reception to Interstellar earlier and I'll quickly add that Interstellar was at a 71% with a 7.2/10 average rating at this point.
Oh man the amount of "I hope we get to do a second one" from interviews and stuff. With the "IT BEGINS" tagline and "PART 1" in the film, it's so perfectly set up for the most epic L in the history of planned franchises.
To compare and contrast with previous Denis movies on RT at this point. Here's what we got after 27 reviews:
Dune 85% 8.4/10
Blade Runner 2049 96% 8.7/10
Arrival 100% 8.4/10
Sicario 93% 8.1/10
Prisoners 85% 7.4/10
