Yeh I guess I mean more at home, VHS, blockbuster etc. Batman Returns was a 15 here in the UK, so kids couldn’t even see it in cinemas, accompanied or not. 

 

Batman Returns was a 12s at the cinema. It was upgraded to 15s for video. Same with the first one.

Ah I didn’t realise, the 12 back then was different from the 12A we have now. ie no one under 12, even if accompanied.

Yeah. This dweeb. It's like these people didn't recall Joker electrocuting a guy to death and cackling while said guy was frying. Or, when he impaled a dude's neck with a quill. Or, that he dumped acid on models faces then threw them out windows when he was bored with them. Those are just some of things that happen in Batman '89.

Hilarious that unlike most MCU movies this one started very high, then faced a huge drop and is growing steadily since

That happened with Vol. 2 as well from what I recall.

pretty good but definitely my third favourite guardians movie. a lot of threads and none of them tied up as resonant as they could have for me. a couple of the endings some of the characters got just had me like "uhhh, yeah sure i guess"

[dudalb]

I think the day when 150 is the expected opening for every blockbuster are past.

That streaming has made deep inroads in theater going is now beyond debate.

I saw the film..loved it Easily the b est MCU film since Endgame.

Now anxious to see what Gunn does with Superman.

Maybe it’s just me, but when people talked about how intense the animal cruelty in this movie is, I have to be honest, I was kind of expecting something more graphic. Yeah, there’s definitely animal cruelty here, but people made it made me think we’d be shown more than we were. 

It's done more by suggestion then actully showing it. Gunn left most of the cruelty to Rocket to the viewers imagination...which probably caused images more horrific then anything Gunn could have put on the screen.

Is it possible recently critics are giving more positive reviews to align with the stellar audience reaction?

Yeah, it was the top critics that was dragging the overall % down since the beginning 

 

It´s just more clear now that the top critics are over so there´s way more positives getting in

Been a while, but something similar happened with Rogue One.  Started high, dipped more than a bit (thanks in part to an atrocious NYC critics screening), and then recovered back to the mid 80s.   Happened toward the start of its run so it was largely overshadowed, plus being a late review drop everything was compressed, but still one of the stranger RT watches I saw unfold in real time.

Why was the nyc screening atrocious?

To this day, I have no idea!  Just for some reason the NYC critics disproportionately didn't like it compared to most every other critic screening.  Maybe something was in the water/soda that day!

 

(or random distribution is random, but that's no fun)

Because the cool kids with the best taste live on the East Coast.

Glad PETA liked the movie.

 

I was worried they would find it gratuitous like some other animal lovers.

 

[poweranimals]

I see trolls are making crap up to try to hurt the movie. I'm sure it won't have any real effect but it's annoying.
