I’ll admit, when I initially heard about that embargo, I was convinced this movie would end up as a stinker from a critical standpoint, but at this point, I guess I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets a similar score to BatB and CR. I still have no interest in seeing it, but if BatB managed to get decent reviews, I suppose this doing the same wouldn’t be especially surprising. Of course, if that happens, I fully expect TLK to land somewhere in the 90% range.

Early reactions for Nutcracker, Robin & Dumbo were also good but...still think 60% at most on RT

Dumbo was really meh, even the people who likes it doesn't seem excited about

Nutcracker and Dumbo are rotten. Christopher Robin is at 73%.

[Nova]

There are still certain things I’m reading in the reactions that leave me a bit cautious in thinking it’ll get over 70%. 

 

I do think itll be fresh though.

When does the embargo lift again?

Weak third act seems to be a common thread

The weak third act, the it’s not as bad as I thought comments, the I had low expectations so I was surprised comments and the fact that it seems like Will smith is getting the praise at a 99:1 ratio and everyone else is just there with Jafar literally being called out for being god awful. 

 

Like i said in the Pikachu thread when it was getting “positive reactions:” the third act was brought up quite a bit and Ryan Reynolds was getting all the praise which led me to believe that it’s critic score would depend on whether the good parts of the film are good enough to overcome some of the complaints of the film. If Aladdin is good enough, maybe it pulls a Jumanji. If not then I don’t see how it gets above a 70% tbh BUT the reactions indicate the movie is fun which Dumbo didn’t have and which I think is pretty important if this will get good WOM. So I’d be very very very shocked if this ended up being rotten 

 

But I’ll be the first to admit that I didn’t expect this film to get any positive reactions going by its trailer so I guess we should never judge a book by its cover

Billy Magnussen seems to be a standout, too. Most of the praise seems kind of back-handed, though, so Aladdin is certainly no masterpiece.

I mean let me say that Will Smith getting a bunch of praise isn’t a bad thing of course. In fact, I think it would help in terms of playing well with audiences. So if Aladdin ends up being a fun movie with a pretty good performance by Will Smith then I expect solid WOM  

 

My caution is whether that’s good enough for critics or not. 

[Minnale101]

Good thing about review date is the movie releases in France and uk few other European on same day 

 

it will be good to balance the user ratings and critic ratings 

 

general audience likes it. Then it shouldn’t be a issue if it’s not rated highly 

[Tentatek]

Judging by reactions on Twitter, the GA doesn’t like it. (The trailers, song previews all got horrible responses)

 

But of course we’ll see if the cheque is cleared for critics.

Gonna be the same story with The Lion King.

 

Yeah, well, scientifically - there are a lot of gay male lions.

 

So of course it was just a matter of time Disney decided to LBGT-include one of them.

 

The only question is who? First name that comes to mind is Scar - but then again, he is the villain, so making him openly gay will send a mixed message. 😕 But just imagine the unbelievably evil laughter he will be capable of!!

 

PS: Now to think of it - they definitely may be going for a gay Jafar!! He looks gay, and everyone will confirm he sounds gay! But again, they may limit themselves to subliminal messages here - because making the villain openly gay is probably not a-OK, yet. Anyway, Jafar definitely seems to have a nice... closet.

In that Behind the Scenes fideo posted a few pages ago, I noticed that Will Smith was featured or highlighted in the majority of its ten minutes, and he seemed like the only one that wasn't overwhelmed. I took it as a sign what they shot of Massoud and Scott wasn't interesting or compelling enough to hold audience attention...

Not pure pain, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn is a lot of fun;but other then that SS is simply terrible.

Batman and Robin at least,  has a trainwreck fascination about it:it;s like the producers could not decide whether to do a semi serious Batman film like the previious ones in the Burton series, or go full blast Adam West camp and silly, tried to do both and ended up with a total mess. But a mess that is fascinating to watch just to see how they screwed up so bad.

I think Will Smith as Deadshot, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller (performance-wise), Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang and. to an extent, the 1st act due to its cheesy entertainment are other positive aspects of Suicide Squad, but yeah, the movie is a complete disaster.

 

However, I would not rank it worse than Batman & Robin. B&R is insanely stupid and campy, but not even in the Independence Day/Mortal Kombat-way where there is so much good in it that it outweighs the bad..... no, it was just a complete nightmare of a film, nothing about it works except watching it as an unintentional comedy. I don't think they were even fully going for the Adam West feel, as you pointed out, despite the movie clearly being a total cringetastic cornfest, and even if they were, they failed on pretty much every aspect. (At least I'll give Joel Schumacher this: he was honest and humble about the movie's suckage, so there's that. But the director being down to Earth doesn't make the movie better, obviously.)

 

As for Aladdin, it's looked like shit from day one and it sure still looks like shit to me. Beauty And The Beast all over again, except BATB at least had good trailers (the teaser was awe-inspiring). I still maintain that The Jungle Book and Cinderella are the only two good Disney live action re-imaginings yet (though I haven't seen Dumbo), solely because they did what a good remake will do: build on the foundation of the original and improve on the things that need to be improved. If they're the same movie on hand, they're the same movie done better on the other. Going the Alice and Maleficent way is basically just doing completely different things from the original, which is fine if you don't lose the point of the original, which those two did.... nevermind all the other filmmaking problems about them like bad scripts and boring plots. And BATB was just a near shot-for-shot remake with Godawful CGI, terrible singing and zero charisma, on top of adding a few new things that only made it worse. Pick your poison between a Maleficent and a BATB, really. And Aladdin looks like a porn parody of Aladdin without the eye-popping colors and the charm, with the only redeeming qualities being Naomi Scott as Jasmine and maybe a few action sequences. At least The Lion King can boast about being a somewhat impressive technical accomplishment (would've been more impressive if The Jungle Book didn't already exist, though), even if it's another literal shot-for-shot remake of the original.
