Fullbuster Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 So guys I don't want to be spoiled because I'm going to watch it this weekend but please tell me why it's only at 80% on RT? While its not bad at all it's not IO so can you tell what are some of the things reviewers hated and what they liked (without spoilers) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 It has done critically better than Monsters University and Cars, those are in the 70s, this one will likely either end up in the high-70s to mid 80s. Tribe, you seem to really love the movie so don't let the critics bother you. All that matters is if you really like it. True. But it's better when others share your enthusiasm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misafeco Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Lol, this sounds like a fresh review: Matthew Lickona San Diego Reader November 25, 2015 If the story sounds simple, that's because it is. The complexity here is tonal - zig-zagging from silly to scary - and visual: a super-realistic depiction of nature... contrasted with the foam-rubber, glass-eyed vulnerability of our hero.

Klingo Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Off topic, https://www.yahoo.com/movies/olga-kurylenko-morgan-freeman-thriller-momentum-163051260.html Olga Kurylenko, Morgan Freeman Thriller 'Momentum' Opens to Just $69 in the U.K. While Lionsgate may well be disappointed that its final Hunger Games installment didn’t quite hit the levels set by its predecessors in its opening weekend, spare a thought for the team behind action-thriller Momentum. The South Africa-shot film, with an estimated $20 million production budget and starring Morgan Freeman and Olga Kurylenko, didn’t just stumble at the U.K box office, but seemingly tripped up on a towel in the changing room and failed to make it to the starting line, taking a measly £46 ($69) in its debut.

Blankments Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Like in the beautiful vistas and the pseudo-philosphizing about fear that pervades the movie. Not saying it's up there with Malick in quality, but I can see why people would say there's an influence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't particularly pay attention to the score system on RT, I just care about what the tomato is Only really use the site to glance at the reviews to get an idea of how some of the movies I see turn out Edited November 26, 2015 by Yandereprime101189 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, if this movie keeps falling and you people keep dissing it, the Shay Knight may suddenly become its biggest fan and protector. Especially if it really looks that good.

kayumanggi Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) I saw this earlier today. Luckily, I brought my handkerchief. Having known the 'troubled' production and having seen the RT scores and reviews, I went to this movie with somewhat low expectations. However, this movie did something to me no Pixar film has ever done: CRY. lol The scene between Arlo and Spot in the film's last few minutes was the one to blame. For someone who doesn't have parents anymore the connection I made with this one was just strong. And I think, more than anything else, that is what movies are for, making connections to your audience whatever their ages are. That scene despite the lack of dialogue was just so affecting and moving. I felt everything just by watching the characters' body gestures and by looking at their eyes. In a sea of kids, there I was behaving like a crybaby. The funny thing is, the cinema where I watched this had a problem with its electricity supply. The movie suddenly stopped right after the scene that made me cry. We were told that the power had fluctuated and were asked to wait for a few minutes while they fix everything. Then it started playing again, a few scenes before the one that made me emotional, and that means I had to go through it again. I was like, are you kidding me? lol This movie has been described as uneven, inconsistent, predictable, derivative. But despite these complaints, it was its heart and my having connections with it that made me love this more than INSIDE OUT. And yes, this movie's visuals are the best I have ever seen in any computer animated movie. The landscapes and water environments were stunning. Some creatures were bizarre and some where familiar, and they all added to the beauty of the film. I also wondered if it could be nominated for an Oscar for vfx? Is that possible? Also, though I have seen them many times, I still loved the man (dino) vs man (dino), man vs nature and man vs self concepts. There were good lines too especially from Arlo's father and Butch, the father T-Rex. I hope you'll enjoy this as much as I did. 09 | 10 Edit: Let me just add, the music was great too.

Chinoiserie Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) Is there a way you can see Avarage Ratings on Rotten Tomatoes from phone? My computer broken at the moments and I am not getting it back for weeks. Or could someone tell me what the Avarage Rating for this is?

Right now, the average rating is 6.6. Or you can download an app called "Desktop Browser", it allows you to see websites in their desktop version.

It used to be that you could click to get the desktop version but the websites seem to always trying to make their mobile sites worse so we would get the apps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share Posted November 26, 2015 So a pretty disappointing opening day. Apparently the budget is "only" around $200 million or so and it probably won't be an official "flop", but the fact I have to even consider it grossing less than Cars 2 makes me sad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFanaticGuy34 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Is it just me or is Shay getting very obnoxious with his Pixar-hatred? Doesn't anyone here getting a bit annoyed by him? Sometimes he refers himself as "The Shay".....like he really wants to look for attention. And yeah....i know he will just reply here any second now...but....i don't find him funny. He's annoying as fuck! Doesn't anyone notice him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
