Nice. Not a massive Bond fan but I like the good ones, so guess I'm seeing this opening weekend.

Early signs encouraging though can't remember how they compare to the early Spectre reactions.

Spectre first reviews were in 90% zone if I remember correctly.

[Firepower]

Those reactions sound... dry, like THR reviews. I expected 10/10-Best Marvel Movie Ever reactions, just like every big tentpole these days, they don't even change the message anymore.

UK critics went on easier on Spectre I believe while US critics were harsh

Okay, that's enough looking at the reactions and stuff. Shouldn't spoil it for myself before I see it Friday (the benefits of life in Ireland).

 

See you guys Saturday!

[Menor the Destroyer]

From looking it up it seems like Spectre had lukewarm positive reactions (think Black Widow for a recent example). These seem better so far though it's very early.

The only review that matters.

The "best movie ever" reactions is not a thing anymore for quite some time, idk why some people still expect this kind of tweets every time a big movie is screened.

 

Not even Marvel movies have this type of generalized overreactions anymore.

 

Reviews should drop anytime now, i think the embargo is for everyone so probably US reviews will come out, not only UK.

But they still have it. Both Shang Chi and Black Widow had them (Disney even put some of them in TV spots). Even Venom 2 had them (from "fan screening")

Some people still do it, of course (especially when it's coming from fan screenings since they're not critics). But overall this doesn't happen anymore, there's no reason to expect that, most critics now are more reasonable on their thoughts on Twitter.

 

Shang Chi have 93% and you can count just a few hyperbolic tweets, most of them are just very positive with very few complains exactly like the reviews.

 

And in BW case actually when reactions dropped there was a meltdown on the thread because people read the reactions as worrisome since pretty much all of them was positive but cautious (still finish at 80% or so).

 

Anyway i think this is a pointless discussion so i'm finishing my argument here, but in my pov these hyperbolic reactions coming from everyone ended in 2018.

first 11 reviews are positive

Metacritic started with 95 wow

I think this should manage to do at least 600 million $ globally.

Reviews are great. Counterpoint is that it only got a 4/5 from Empire, which I think is the non-Bond equivalent of a -5/10.

Craig’s Bond run has two of the best themes (You Know My Name, Skyfall) and three of the worst (Another away to Die, The Writing’s on the Wall, No Time to Die)

i actually like the no time to die song a lot.

[ThomasNicole]

8.90 average on RT so far.

 

Like i said, non-hyperbolic reactions are normal now.

 

Of course this will drop, let's see how much. If this manage to ended up with an 8.0 average it will be fantastic.

[MrPink]

I don't see how NTTD's theme song would qualify as one of the worst. It's perfectly fine. 

[Cmasterclay]

No Time To Die is anywhere between the 2nd and 4th best of the Craig songs depending on my mood. Chris Cornell is such a legend that even his kinda mediocre dad rock song is better than most modern rock songs and Bond themes.

[MrPink]

Spectre way overindexed on reviews for the initial batch so yeah I'll be waiting to see how the dust settles. Reasonably excited to see the film though
