It’s Cannes, this is what great usually looks like there 

Eh, film festivals if anything tend to overhype things.

Not Cannes and not for Hollywood blockbusters

Maverick got great reactions from Cannes though.

It was the same thing 

 

And Maverick had reviews out already days before it screened at Cannes so there was a consensus around it previously

I always find it funny to think there’s someone there timing these people clapping. 
 

Variety headline is hilarious:

5 minutes must be among the lowest reported ones. Mostly I have heard double digits and the record is 22 minutes. It almost feels like these folks are paid to do this. I dont think any movie however good deserves that long an ovation. It feels like cancer being cured :-)

wtf is wrong with Variety

Other standing ovation durations at Cannes:

 

Elvis (12 mins)

The Neon Demon (17 mins - also included booing and walkouts)

Mud (18 mins) 

Fahrenheit 9/11 (20 mins)

Pans Labyrinth (22 mins)

The Paperboy (15 mins) (?!)

Belle (14 mins)

Bowling for Columbine (13 mins)

The Artist (12 mins)

 

They're just silly, but it’s tradition.

their article about gotg second week drop was also weird

[thajdikt]

Variety in general have been cementing their place as the worst trade the last couple of weeks, and that´s impressive because deadline exists.

[WittyUsername]

Wikipedia still lists the runtime as 142 minutes. Did they just forget to update it, or was the 154 minute thing a mistake?

2/5 stars

No, that’s what happens at Comic Con etc etc.

Maverick last year had a very similar reaction at Cannes.

3/5

More important gave 4/5 to Thor 4. 

 

 

On a serious note, they go negative on most blockbusters. A2 was also 1/5. That is ok. But seem to weirdly positive on some. They loved Indy 4. 

 

Anyway I am not seeing universal acclaim reading all the reviews. Seems retreading on the same path giving lots of cameos for nostalgia. So fans should like it. I am not excited at all as I posted earlier. But it should be fun movie to track.
