There was a secret screening at the same time at my cinema, I thought I was being smart by spending the £5 entry to see RPO in 2D rather than the free unlimited version in 3D only. Instead I got love simon. Sad times

Cineworld did a secret screening last Tuesday and it was Love Simon.

Two 5/5 stars review and one 4/5 review. Still haven't been added. RT needs to wake up.

RT prefers adding rotten. If rotten doesn't exist RT adds nothing

I'm not surprised Travis Johnson gave this a super negative review. I've been following him on twitter, he's been hating on this film and the book since day 1.

 

On the plus side, the average rating went up.

Uh oh. It looks like RT has just posted the same review twice from different publications. I really hate it when they do that.

Just watched Bridge of Spies, what a great film

No, it's just clustering.

 

It's been apparent for a while that a significant chunk of reviewers will have a hostile reaction to the film.  Nothing to be concerned about unless it is a larger chunk than thought.

 

After Black Panther (not as great as I hoped) and A Wrinkle in Time (much better than reviews suggest) I'm wary of critics right now.

Average rating at 7 on RT is a pretty good rise.

Not too shabby.  Given how much some folks hate it, I would expect it to stay in the 60s when all is said and done.

So it's got over 8 minutes of credits. Not as bad as I imagined.

For a VFX heavy film, that's not too bad, they're normally closer to 10-11 minutes.

It still kind of feels like a cheat, considering that a 10/10 review was posted twice. 

[Rumpot]

Just watched it...not sure how I felt.  My wife hated it.

It's a mistake, I've seen it happen a lot. RT usually ends up removing it.

Eh, there are several positive reviews from major outlets and trade publications that aren't factored into the avg at all.  That weighs on the early avg far more than one double printed score.

Honestly RPO sounds like another Tintin. Very impressive on a technical level, some will love it on a sheer thrill ride level, others will call it soulless.

 

I personally really enjoyed Tintin.
