Has my guy Erik ever criticized a movie?

When that happens we'll know the end days are upon us.

The score is being highly praised. Apparently Rihanna' song is also uplifting. She's coming for that Oscar

[eddyxx]

Since none of y’all posted any of them I’ll do the honors.

How is this mixed at all? Very positive.

It's a meme on this board, and a long standing one, that whenever a highly anticipated film gets less than universal stellar reactions and/or slightly slightly slightly less than expected reviews, that some here will call the reactions mixed.

 

Usually posted with this gif:

 

It's a sarcastic response to folks flipping out over lack of stellar OMG BEST FILM EVAR reviews, as popularized by @aabattery.

 

Fell out of use slightly thanks to COVID shutting down movies for a while, but I personally blame aa for not posting as much as they should. 

 

But it is in fact a joke.  Which we still tend to do around here, even if we aren't quite as anarchistic as we once were in our board's youth.

Is it joke? feel like there are enough "its ok" reactions in this first batch to assume mixed reception might be possible

At the moment? Yes, I do think so.  If I had to guess, I'd be pegging a mid- to low-80s RT and not a mid-60s one, which is where my bar for an actual-honest-to-goodness mixed review range would be.  Even mid 70s doesn't reach the level of "mixed reviews" for me. One's mileage may vary, naturally.

 

Could pull an Eternals where the RT score was much lower than indicated from premiere reactions, sure.  But at the moment, no actually calling the reactions "mixed" does a disservice to the present reactions coming out of the premiere.

 

Or, to put it another way, if these reactions are "mixed" then damn near every film's reactions are "mixed", which dilutes the meaning of the term.

 

Are there some... I don't want to call them 'red flags' as 1] it's a loaded term and 2] fans can be jumpy so I'll use 'cautionary comments' coming out of the premiere?  I'd say that's fair.  But all that might mean is that it isn't getting NWH BP level reviews.  Probably.

 

Everything else is tea leaf reading. Which I suppose is part of trying to figure out the buzz, but tea leaf reading is still all it is.

Thought NWH had a higher RT score, so I swapped in BP instead — which is prob more on point, anyway

[Nikostar]

After the critics reactions today I think the floor for reviews will be NWH.

Did this guy really just say the original BP was snubbed for Best VFX?

*double checks NWH's RT score*

*sees it's 93 | 7.9/10*

 

Huh.  Thought it was in the high 90s. My bad, Okay, strike my comment about this not getting to that, as I could see it (in fact, I'll go edit my post and just put in BP1 instead of NWH).  But I don't know if I'd characterize it as the floor as there does seem to be some folks who this isn't landing with. 

 

At the same time a low 90s RT score, or even mid 90s, wouldn't surprise me.  But I probably want some more reactions before really solidifying that thought.

[Menor the Destroyer]

I was slightly worried after the premiere but since some more "serious" critics have given it pretty enthusiastic praise today, I think it will be in low-90s RT, low-mid 70s on MC which is the norm for very well-received MCU movies. BP1 is of course unmatchable. Since some are having issues with the pacing, I could see it going lower, but I think it'll end up similar to something like SC where that one criticism (for SC it was the third act) won't ruin the movie for most.

[ChipDerby]

I'll guess 92% for the RT score.

[TheDude391]

I think reviews will be positive overall but not as glowing as the first. The vast majority of the reactions focus on Chadwick's passing (and by all accounts it's handled very well) but not so much on the surrounding movie around that.

[OncomingStorm93]

I'll up my RT prediction from 70-75 to 75-80 based on the social reactions. Don't want to stray too far from my original guess.
