[Firepower]

Not a single 9/10 so far, let alone 10/10.

I'm sure it will get some good scores from the youtube brigade, but these Cannes critics are mostly from the industry publications

This and also jumping the gun about where reviews will land. These are reviews from reporters that attended Cannes festival, not the neckbeard crowd with YT channels that studios court for favorable reviews. Once those geeks see it the rating is likely to go up though whether that's enough for fresh rating remains to be seen. 

Top critics including variety and Hollywood reporter which are very easy publications to please in terms of reviewing films.

 

I can agree box-office predictions have gotten wild but don't see this breaking even (750m) unless audience reception is good.

 

It has a 5.3/10 avg . Don't think it's gonna jump much maybe 60s at best.

Ford's 80 playing a role he's way long in the tooth for and I can't imagine this getting very stellar reviews on that alone

[TigerPaw]

why would they lift the review embargo so early. Should have done a Fast X.. lift it when it already debut overseas.

 

Good news for The Flash i guess. No competition in 2nd weekend and a badly reviewed film comes on the 3rd weekend..

PS - after seeing the comparison to No Time To Die I looked up that film’s RT. How in the fuck did that manage 83%?

NTTD is a great movie and its amazing OS run proves it.

I've just read an article where Mangold says no great script happens without writers.

 

Well, I guess he's probably looking for the guys who wrote Dial of Destiny as we speak.

lol. The credited writers of this movie have written some really great movies. I don't know what happened here

[keysersoze123]

Finish rotten seems probable at this point. So this is similar to Da Vinci Code premiering at Cannes :-) Of course that opened in May and so we wont have a month of narration into why Disney did this.

Presumably not much happened. It's probably a pretty competent script, just not interesting what so ever.

Disney needs to fire their test audiences 

[JOHN WICK]

This will have a decent opening out of sheer curioisity but in the end, it'll fall off the planet

I believe you have to post for a while before getting to post topics. I dunno, it’s weird.

I found it.. Join my club at the box office club forum.. The MEG 2 really is the movie to beat this Summer and so far, I have a pretty tough crowd around here trying to convince this.. LOL
