TheDude391 Posted Thursday at 04:24 AM Share Posted Thursday at 04:24 AM (edited) Kinda surprised by some of the reactions, I found this incredibly mediocre and frankly, quite boring (dozed off for a few mins halfway through). Lupita Nyongo and Joseph Quinn were good, her character in particular has some interesting nuances but the human drama is still pretty stock standard stuff. Not a single good setpiece either, I didn't love the first 2 AQP films but there were moments that had me at the edge of my seat, raised my heart rate a bit. Not once here. You've seen all the coolest moments in the trailer. 5/10. Again I am asking studios to STOP this trend of wasting exciting indie talent on anonymous studio fare. Spoiler Title is misleading, it's mostly A Quiet Place Day Two and Three. Edited Thursday at 04:25 AM by TheDude391 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted Thursday at 06:55 AM Share Posted Thursday at 06:55 AM Seeing this tomorrow in IMAX. Really looking forward to it, I love Lupita. Alex Wolff said at a premiere last year that this was more of an art house film (maybe it was the Oppenheimer premiere a year ago), so that wouldn’t be news. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cinema pal Posted Thursday at 12:17 PM Share Posted Thursday at 12:17 PM (edited) No one dares to kill cute animals anymore, even if it's done off screen, so its incision is already a mistake. We can get over thousands people violently killed on screen but not fluffy cutie. Not that I want to see pet's demise, don't get me wrong. But... Going to watch this tonight Edited Thursday at 09:19 PM by cinema pal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, you got this right! Cute cats/dogs being killed is more taboo for audiences 😄 Edited Thursday at 01:08 PM by cinema pal 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasNicole Posted Thursday at 01:37 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:37 PM 91% on RT with 7.7 average (35 reviews) MC is lagging as usual, but there’s probably 25 reviews to be added there, mostly pretty positive. Expecting to opens there with 73-76 score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emoviefan Posted Thursday at 02:10 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:10 PM (edited) 91% and a lot of them 4 out of 5 and 9/10 reviews. Pretty dam good so far. Can we put to bed the late embargo meaning much of anything now. The studios's post strike for whatever reason seem to be doing this for the most part and it's not a reflection on the quality of the movie's Edited Thursday at 02:11 PM by emoviefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted Thursday at 02:13 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:13 PM Yeh, there was no need to hold these reviews back. At least it’s tracking well without them. 1 hour ago, cinema pal said: No one dares ro kill cute animals anymore, even if it's done off screen, so its incision is already a mistake.

AniNate Posted Thursday at 03:22 PM Share Posted Thursday at 03:22 PM Their site has been wonky with embargo lifts ever since it was redesigned. It really doesn't stabilize until the rush ends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasNicole Posted Thursday at 03:38 PM Share Posted Thursday at 03:38 PM 87% on RT with 55 reviews (7.5 average) 69 on MC with ~30 reviews Yeah, definitely strong, especially considering it’s a prequel. Now hopefully this will lead to a +50M OW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
