baumer Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I'm shocked that any of you would care what critics say about a film like this. If you enjoyed the first two, then you should go see this one. Pretty much that's it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that we care, but considering the past history of this franchise, it makes one curious to see this get the reviews it's getting. Up to 75%.

Up to 75%. It's up to 75% but if you look at its rating, it's actually not that far off from where the others were. Of course to the GA who just look at the percentage, that doesn't matter but it's being rated roughly the same. Just that more critics are giving it a fresh rating rather than rotten. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shows that Secret Life of Pets is getting more passing grades rather than stellar ones I guess... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Beezy Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 The problem with the average rating on RT is that it only comes from the ones that have actually provided ratings. Reviews like Hollywood Reporter and Variety don't get included in the average rating because they don't provide ratings to go into the average.

MovieMan89 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 This has to be the only horror trilogy in history to get more critical acclaim with each installment. Hell, one of the only trilogies period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nova Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Better than the first one but no where near as good as Anarachy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big fan of these movies and if you are you should totally go see it too. You're getting exactly what you expect lol However if I were to rank the 3 I'd put this one behind Anarachy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I don't really consider these to be horror films. I'm not sure what you would call them as they definitely have dystopian horrific elements to it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 It s not that far from the Hunger Games thematically actually. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just way more violent lol But yea I don't consider them a horro film either. More like a survival at all costs type film aka as you've stated The Hunger Games 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrosepsisFace Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Don't we have a couple of generations of anime/manga fans on these forums? I'm surprised Hollywood hasn't incorporated more ideas from the far east yet. Battle Royale has worked out well so far... I'm hoping Netflix kills it with Death Note.

JohnnY Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 this may already have been mentioned here, but why didn't they release this in October? The presidential election will be in early november, it would be the perfect fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Releasing it now gives us time to actually think about our actions and who we vote for. Good grief, why would anyone let a movie tell them who to vote for? That's why liberal bias in the entertainment industry is so harmful. It can influence people who can't think for themselves and need celebs/movies/singers to tell them what to believe. I'll probably sit this election out (at Pres level unless Trump is replaced at convention) but i'm sure you'll run out to vote for Hillary, maybe the most openly corrupt and lying candidate we've ever had for the Presidency.
