Someone hasn't watched The Edge of Seventeen.

I wouldn't even say that it's a comedy. Even the "funny" scenes are pretty dark and sad overall. But I agree that she is great in that movie.

This is breaking out, 100M+ OW. MPR and AQM better watch out!

This is getting great reviews from the looks of it but I still don't know what to predict for it box office wise. Having said that, to me this movie is more about getting the Transformers films back into the good graces of the GA and I think it's going to do that. So regardless of where it winds up box office wise, they have successfully rebooted the franchise (imo) and that's what matters.

I like that the Amblin type of movie is making a low key comeback. The House with a Clock in Its Walls was no classic but it was a fun throwback.

I would LOVE to see more Amblin-esque movies. Hell, even IT had a lot of those vibes.

It sounds like all I need to see out of this movie is the first 10 or so minutes with the G1 stuff and I can skip the rest  

 

I'll probably skip this in the theaters, but hopefully when I see it, it will be fun enough

Really enjoyed this. It's in the same Jumanji vein of a completely unoriginal storyline made entertaining by its characters and humor. Knight's probably going to get more live action offers in the future.

[WrathOfHan]

There is a 0% chance I dislike this. ZERO. Especially with these Jumanji WTTJ comparisons

[Eric Prime]

Dang, I don't even like Transformers but now I want to see this.

The Critics Choice website has Aquaman at 82/100. IT has Bumblebee at 70/100

Those are just the first critics who post their score though, so it is always hard to take anything from it early.

 

Also: MPR at 85/100, Vice at 78/100.

[Eric Prime]

We still take Critics Choice seriously? lol okay

You would think that, but Pitch Perfect 3 taught me otherwise

>100 million opening weekend talk

 

Yeah that won't happen, this'll have great legs but it'll need that inevitable good WoM.

But it doesn't have Adam DeVine in the cast. Surely it can't be that bad.

Why wouldn't "we"? Like RT or Metacritic, it just aggregates a bunch of critics reviews. All are highly correlated in the end. The only problem is that people look at CC too early when scores are not settled.

If it weren’t for that lame series ender, she would be on quite the streak right now between The Edge of Seventeen, Spider-Verse, and now this!

I thought they were known for being unreliable, at least very very early before reviews come out. I remember something like Coco had a bad CC score before reviews dropped out. Could be misremembering things though.

 Big issue with CC is it doesn't tell you how many it's counted so far
