Damn. KK, WOTW, Lee's Hulk, Charlie. That's a real strong set of movies.

 

#4 is Antz, #9 is The Witch, and #23 is School of Rock.  More great films.

[CoolioD1]

from what i've seen the only truly terrible film on that list is charlie and the chocolate factory. everything else good enough.

So what about the Disney Movies that don't get high RT scores?  Do the Disney checks in those cases bounce?

They just changed they're credit card when Alice 2, Finest Hours and Tomorowland got released.

 

The RT population being one that become critics because of those movies by now (a bit like Tarantino in the past), access, many critics having a following that are fans, etc... are easier explanation if bias there is than Disney paying anyone.

I used to love Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as a kid. Then i watched it again two years ago...

 

 

Elfman Score rocks though.

That one is quite surprising, maybe it was unsuspecting Linklater fans that took the score down because that movie is a bit far than the rest of is output, because it is a massive crowdpleaser that is hard to imagine people not finding that movie to be at least an 6/10 and up type.

[CoolioD1]

chocolate factory isn't quite my least favourite depp performance i think he's worse in alice in wonderland but he's kinda like the Jared Leto in Suicide Squad of willy wonkas. just making all the wrong choices to differentiate from the previous actor who nailed it.

[a2k]

Going optimistic,

45 + 55 + 63.25 (+15%) + 55 (-13%) = 218.25 ow (100 od)

Needs 3.2x for 700 dom with that ow. 3.4x gives 740+.

No kidding. Used to think Batman and Robin was a good movie as a kid. Even had one of those 3 in 1 Batmobile toys where it changed into a submarine, batmobile, and Batplane.

That’s nothing. I thought Superman IV was good as a kid! That’s the worst fucking movie ever. When I saw it as an adult I just sat there mouth agape like... holy shit kids have no taste at all. I don’t know how I liked that.

There some of the best sequences here, I think people overrated in how they disliked the movie once Tim Robbins pop up and ultra high expectation of a giant Cruise/Spielberg flick. That 2000's to 2010's Spielberg stuff is aging extremely well.

I saw Catch Me If You Can for the first time about a month ago and it's one of my new favorite films.

[MrGamer]

Sad that Sharknado is on that list. John Heard fighting a shark with a bar stool should've been better appreciated by the general audience. 

[Porthos]

As I think more about TLJ, I think it is safe to say that if this doesn't put the final nail into the coffin of the "Disney micro-manages all of their films to be cookie-cutter clones of each other" talking point and that it really does appear that Lucasfilm has near complete autonomy to do whatever the fuck they want in regards to their films, nothing will.

 

*looks about the net and sees gripes about Disney mandating 'Marvel Jokes' in TLJ*

 

"Nothing will" it is!

I have liked Depp in all those quirky tentpole roles (including Dark Shadows) except for Lone Ranger. He is gonna make a good Grindelwald.

These people apparently never have seen a Star Wars film before.

[KJsooner]

Wotw, after the first 30 minutes, you can stop watching. The initial battle scene is good after that. Complete nothingness.

The only reason I saw that movie is because the composer of my movie did Sharknado. That’s like his claim to fame. He’s actually a really good composer lol but Sharknado is hard to watch...
