Sorry man. I really wanted to like this one. I defended it up until now. But it was terrible

I will buy 100 IDR steelbooks and offer one to every member of this forum.

I really think you guys should try harder with these flop jokes. Does anybody audibly laugh when they read them?

 

Potentially

I went into this movie expecting to be amazed, mostly because critics hated it and they also hated BvS (and that one is the best movie of 2016 so far for me), as well as most movies I love (The Hobbit, Transformers, POTC, MoS etc). Now I'm regretting I didn't go to see Tarzan instead... 

 

Difference is that the other movies you cited still had a decent audience score on RT, significantly higher than the critic score. Audience score for IDR is 37%.

Is it weird that @James review is the most enticing thing I've heard about ID4 Resurgence. It must be a mega disaster of epic proportions

I will 100% take you up on this. No backsies!

Ironically, "what goes up, must come down" from ID:R describes the drop in quality from both movies.

Just saw ID:R, fuck the critics, fuck all of you. I liked it, 6/10

So mods, how do you feel about changing the background to be BFG-themed

Not happening. Pets is the next one (it will replace IDR).

BvS had 27%, TF 2 had under 20%. It's not connected. Truth is I like big eye candy movies but I can't enjoy them for eye-candy alone. I want some relatable characters (like Shia's in TF) or some great themes (Power corrupts - BvS). ID:R had neither. It was like Emmerich decided: let's throw some scenes together and call it a movie. Seriously, who was the moron who wrote that script?!

Alice 2 and Ninja Turtles are flat out flops. Now You See Me 2 will break even. ID4 R might break even.

Just got back from ID:R. WHAT AN UTTER PIECE OF ABSOLUTE GARBAGE!

 

How did Emmerich, the man responsible for one of my favorite movies ever (2012), manage to fuck this one so badly?!! The characters were terrible, the plot was non-existent, the story was awful, the acting was awful and most surprising, the destruction porn was awful. Like, there's one good scene in the whole movie, the one with London being destroyed. And that's it. It was boring and predictable as fuck and I kept checking my watch to see how much more I have to suffer. I am so freakin glad it bombed because it so deserves it. 

 

Might be my worst cinema experience ever.

Holy shit

For me it's still coming up as Dory.

 

Also, FUCK THOSE STUPID PETS

One of the unsung heroes of the 2016 box office is HELLO, MY NAME IS DORIS. It grossed $14.5M on a $1M budget.

BvS audience score is 66%, even though critic score is 27%. TF2 has audience score of 58% against the critic score of 19%. IDR it's 37% vs 32%. The point I'm making is that for the other films the critic score is disconnected from the audience score, but for IDR they are both bad. And I think it's exactly for the reason you give: the other films may be flawed but ultimately a majority of the general audience can still connect to them in some way.
