how is there so little reviews on rotten tomatoes,only 89 reviews with score of 81

One week to release. Many of RT reviewers watch the movie during OW, usually you have around 100 +- 10%  until release

For the ones who’ve seen it: how do you suspect general audiences will react?

I can't see them disliking it

If RT dips into the 70s, this is  basically as bad as it getting Eternals/AM3 reception. MCU and this movie are in no way in any position for “it’s fine” reviews rn. Needed “it’s great.” Bracing for the worst on OW now

[MovieMan89]

But like I said, could see an audience/critics disconnect here since imo critics were too harsh on 2. But that won’t really help much for the purposes of OW.

reviews seem like they're at the point where they won't help, but also won't hurt the performance

Absolutely not, lol

Yeah, I think people in the fence about the movie will just wait. Buzz was low and the reviews didn’t come in as strong as promised

Feels like critics (maybe subconsciously) seem to be kind of course correcting from the earlier eras of the MCU when they gave movies like Ant Man and the Wasp 87%, Doctor Strange 89%, Thor 77%. I just think if those movies were released around now they'd probably be significantly worse rated

Audiences aren’t going to look at 50s vs 70s on RT very differently in the context of the current state of MCU. If MCU were going strong, “it’s fine” reception would work. But that’s not the case.

And this is a problem as well for how audiences use RT to determine if MCU is worth seeing. They are used to 90+ galore from this franchise on RT, so 70s is gonna seem not good in the state the WOM for MCU has been in.

Interesting. So the darker tone shouldn’t hurt?

Nah, it still has a lot of crowd pleaser moments

btw when's the spoiler thread

[WittyUsername]

If the movie manages to roughly stay where it is now after it gets to around 200 reviews, then that wouldn’t be the worst thing. At least it’s not a repeat of Quantumania.

Not really. I definitely think he's overexaggerating, but I do agree in the sense that I'm not sure if these reviews are good enough to cut it in this day and age. People need that extra motivation to go out and see a movie in the streaming age. That being said, there are exceptions, as Mario's mixed reviews didn't hurt it in the slightest while Dungeons and Dragons being lauded didn't help much when the general audience just didn't care about the movie enough to make it profitable. Hopefully Guardians 3 will play out more like the former.

Only 12 out of 31 MCU movies have 90% or higher reviews on RT. That’s less than 40%. So cool it with all this hyperbole, alright?

[Saul Goodman]

Will end up in 80-85 it seems. This is as good as RT one can expect for a CBM like this now, another lesson to not trust reactions blindly lol.
