First critic reviews are out. Overall, not very good

[Alli]

fresh 7, rotten 7

Poor Dane DeHann. Not gonna be a good year for him with this looking to go unnoticed and Valerian certain to be a big bomb.

[AniNate]

The one really enthusiastic review from Cinemablend reads like someone desperate for pullquote money

[filmlover]

@That One Guy cursed it, obviously.

David Ehrlich liked it though so I'm staying hopeful.

Dane DeHann is a cure against BO success. Ask Metallica.

The film’s story is a combination of Bioshock, Shutter Island, and the Stephen King novel Misery. Somehow that sounds conceptually interesting but it lacks enough story to maintain your interest. What made things like Misery and Shutter Island relatively interesting were it’s genuine build up and suspense for the mystery that is going on around the atmosphere in the situation those characters are in. With A Cure For Wellness, you can easily predict the plotting and the answer to the mystery by the 30-minute mark.

Well, that's disappointing.

And charismatic actors, something I would never say about DeHaan. Good actor but too scary looking for anyone to warm up to him. That said, I'm rooting for this to do well at the boxoffice for Verbinski's sake.

What doesn't he like?

[Krissykins]

As I said weeks ago, Gore Verbinski doesn't have many fresh movies on RT.

 

 

Not surprised at this.

[Krissykins]

A few of the reviews mention the long run time, which I was hoping was a typo. 

[Valonqar]

he may not have fresh movies on RT thanks to scripts, but he's better director than some geek directors with fresh RT scores. He has a great eye for scenes, they all look cinematic. I'm not gonna list fresh directors whose expensive movies look like TV shows and I'm not talking about TV shows with great production values.

He should start doing commercials then.

Didn't he come from commercials like the Scotts, Bay, etc?

What doesn't he like?

Animated movies, which it seems like Verbinski should be directing more of his efforts towards

So, What are the problems of this movie ?

 

Plot ?

 

 

 

 

 

[filmlover]

Now at 39% on RT with 18 reviews.

 

[That One Girl]

WTF.

 

Argh, this movie looked so good.  Still seeing it though for that Verbinski swan song, since when this bombs he'll probably never work again .
