Joshua Rivera from Polygon gave it a 70/100 but it's rotten on RT

yeah yeah I know a 90+ rotten tomatoes (although slightly meaningless) is always good for marketing purposes and that's what the'll use

But is a 73 metacritic really good enough to significantly affect peoples anticipation for this movie?

96% with 8.5 average, and a lot of reviews already, 71 to be exact

 

Metacritic at 73 with 36 reviews, the 25/100 is really hurting it there, would be 77-76 without It, but it happens.

I don't know that we were expecting either of these scores to have a direct impact on overall anticipation. And if either of them would have more than a trivial impact, it wouldn't be Metacritic, which isn't as well known to the general public as RT.

The average at RT is 8.5, yeah is meaningful enough

 

Metacritic have a 25/100 bringing it down, but still pretty good

I wonder what this does for Matt Reeves as a director.

Does this push in him to the level of like a Nolan or a Cameron, not from a general audience standpoint, but from a studio standpoint giving him carte blanche to do what ever he wants?

73 with 36 reviews on MT.

Almost all movies have a negative review bringing down the Metacritic, so that doesn't really seem like much of an asterisk. That's just how averages work. Plus, with 36 reviews, a 25/100 will hurt the average by less than 1.5 points.

Plus it's only bringing it down like a percent at this point, anyways. There are 36 reviews now and will ultimately be like 50-60, one review isn't going to make or break the score.

This movie is currently the #1 trend Worldwide. And all the tweets are very positive and link to the RT score. Safe to say the score will make a difference.

Normies don't use Metacritic

Me scrolling through reviews on Twitter and someone spoils the Euphoria finale with #TheBatman hashtag

Not trying to cause any issues but I think the general audience gravitate now more to RT than Meta and so I think only RT is a true factor

73 MC is great for a 3 hour dark noir movie. This is absolutely fantastic and now let us see how the presales pick up post this bump. 

[TestPattern]

This week would be a good week to release the trailer for Black Adam. Latch on to the success of Batman

Only thing that thrives on Metacritic is Video Game reviews. Movie and TV reviews are pretty much all-RT all the time. The only time I see Metacritic brought into movie reviews is when people are trying to handicap the awards race.

Does RT even matter to general audiences? Critics panned uncharted and it wildly outperformed expectations set before reviews even came out

Well if it's rave reviews then maybe it will help because there's some Batman fatigue out there or so I hear so maybe this Kickstart peoples interest again

Eh, Uncharted getting bad reviews is waaaay different than something like this getting bad reviews. DC and RT are kinda a package when it comes to pre-release buzz.
