RT is shut down???

Glitchier than ever

Its RT actualy that i can see nearing the 90s . It seems like the  majority of critics that had big issues with it or hated the first still had net positive experiences. In a film with good but weaker visual presentation and cinematic experience than A2 comparable complaints would push it to rotten in more critics that now will give it a passing grade. Cant see the "This is not good" share to be noticably over 1/10

I would wait until the server stabilizes to see where it actually lands. If it's 80 or lower, then yeah, this is definitely lower than pretty much all of us were expecting. Really weird to see some reviews like "Never bet against Cameron" or "blockbuster filmmaking and storytelling at its finest" and then it gets a 7 or 8/10 lol

[MrFanaticGuy34]

No RT consensus yet. Let’s wait and see.

[Sophia Jane]

I can't open RT ,don't know why

[ImNotExcited]

The fact that RT is still shitting the bed in the exact same ways it did 10 years ago is incredible. 

[interiorgatordecorator]

not sure why this of all possible movies ends up being somewhat divisive

 

[WittyUsername]

I’m currently seeing an 80% with 71 reviews, with a 7.2 average rating. Meanwhile, the top critic’s score is 74% with 31 reviews, with a 6.7 average rating. 

[Lucas]

The average rating is a major issue this early.

[IronJimbo]

included audience RT when the difference is notable.

It's not really that wise to equip your servers to handle massive demand for like 2 hours a month into little demand all other times of the year.

[Amorphous]

There is nothing divisive about these scores so far. Movies in this range always have outliers, that doesn't make them divisive reviews. Divisive is something akin to a Halloween Kills, or something that skews way more negative. Even if this film was 60%+ on RT and Meteoritic that still wouldn't classify it as divisive. Let's all just calm down a bit.

[interiorgatordecorator]

why are british reviewers such weirdos, the same thing happenned with TGM to a lesser extent 

 

edit: its not exactly that they dont like, its more about the things they complain about and how much they talk about what they wanted the movie to be instead of what it actually is

RT now says 100% for me lol. Yeah RT may take some time to stabalize.

Cloud scalability is hardly a foreign concept nowadays -- RT seemingly just doesn't care.

Social embargo reactions are getting less and less reliable as full representations of average critic scores.

 

 

[BadOlCatSylvester]

Pretty good, but not game-changing reviews. I'm very interested in seeing if these will be enough to move the needle in the streaming age, where you need to be outstanding to truly make money in theaters. I'm still seeing this in glorious 3D though. The remaster of the first film alone would've been enough to sell me.

It is to most companies unfortunately. Hell some of them dont even do basic shit like backups.
