Also, even an Onward-level reception (88% with 7.2/10 average) wouldn't be so bad since that's... basically your average Pixar film. You're right perhaps it will affect on media narrative not critics The Lightyear->Elemental run + Pete Docter not coming back is a likelier combo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had that role since 2018. The point is he doesn't directly make movies anymore, not after Soul. Edited June 6 by cannastop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keysersoze123 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 This is probably not the best thread for this but I saw Wish yesterday with my young one. Generic but better than what I thought. Not sure if its better or worse than Strange World. That also had some moments though it was not completely there. if you combine live action as well, I think Cruella has been best of the lot by a margin. I am excited for this movie. I am taking entire family next saturday for a Dolby show. 1st movie was outstanding IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Block-Busted Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 (edited) So is there any hopeful sign for this film's critical reception even if it's just an anecdotal one? Edited June 7 by Block-Busted 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannastop Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 I might see this movie in IMAX on the second weekend. Either that or watch it in July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, could go either way. No real hopeful signs, but also nothing in particular to indicate that this is going to be a trainwreck. The late embargo doesn't really mean anything now considering the last three Disney films that did this all got 80%+ on RT. This is their first sequel in 5 years, and their last sequel has reviewed better than everything that's come out since. Take that as you may.

I mean guessing by the theater count for Inside Out 2 (4,200), they were impressed with what they saw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but Lightyear has 74% on RottenTomatoes with 6.7/10 average and Elemental has 73% with 6.4/10 average. I know that the latter might've been affected by Cannes' reception, but still.

Every Pixar film has a 58+ on Metacritic, 4 at 60 or less (two of those being Cars films) Over 27 films, Pixar averages a 78 on Metacritic. It averages a 88 on Rotten Tomatoes. If you exclude the Cars sequels, the Pixar sequels/Lightyear scores are: 60, 65, 77, 80, 84, 88, 92 on MC and 74, 80, 94, 93, 97, 98, 100 on RT. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
