This might be just another average Pixar film at worst (a la Onward), which is still better than a lot of animated films out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porthos Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 (edited) I suspect more than a few reactions aren't tagged. FWIW, have seen one other stray tweet like BD's which says "Not quite as deep/great as the first, but still very good"[which I can't find coz, again, searching via [REDACTED] is awful] which makes me think that'll be a theme with at least some. In the middle of starting my nightly tracks so no more tweets from me. Edited June 11 by Porthos 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, the first film is an extremely tough act to follow as it holds 98% on RottenTomatoes with flat-out unbelievable 8.9/10 average along with 94/100 on Metacritic. No other animated films have reached that level of critical acclaim since then. Not. Even. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

I love the first film but if it is as good as the first that’s a massive win. But I did see another reaction state that there wasn’t a tear-jerker scene like “take her to the moon for me” but I’m honestly okay with that.

Block-Busted Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 (edited) 21 minutes ago, TalismanRing said: Soul is 83 on MC and on RT 95%/8.0 and it's a brilliant film - top tier Pixar Oh, I agree. My point is simply that Inside Out practically set an impossible standard for animated films when it comes to critical receptions. If not even Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse or The Boy and the Heron couldn't quite reach that level of acclaim (not to mention that even some of Pixar's great works since then couldn't even get close to that level), then I don't know what can. As a matter of fact, when it comes to Pixar vs. Ghibli, I used to think that Pixar will NEVER be able to outdo Ghibli, but Inside Out completely flipped that over. I actually find it flat-out heinous that the film wasn't even nominated for Best Picture Oscar because in a just world, that film would've easily came out on top. Oh, and bit of a correction regarding Soul, that film's RottenTomatoes average score is 8.3/10. You might've been thinking of Turning Red when you mentioned 8.0/10 because that was the average score of the said film until it went up to 8.1/10 somewhat recently.

ThomasNicole Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 It’s so annoying to read this “back to form” reactions pretending they didn’t release 3 of their best efforts of the past 10 years recently, all original. I know not getting theatrical releases takes cultural relevancy from them, but Luca and especially Soul / Turning Red had absolutely great reception. Still, reactions seems great and falling in the expected Pixar “great sequel, even if not better than the previous one” type of reviews 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as I've said to other two posters already, the first film has one-of-the-kind critical acclaim that no other animated films even got close to replicating since then. Even Pixar couldn't get to that level as of today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracking is not intended to be a final prediction, it can get better or worse as you get closer to release. Tracking is literally intended to be a prediction of the final ow. That it’s not the final prediction of the eventual ow doesn’t excuse misses That said we’ve known industry tracking is a joke for all 6+ years I’ve been here so not really sure why it keeps getting discussed 😆 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, reactions seems great and falling in the expected Pixar “great sequel, even if not better than the previous one” type of reviews I mean it's almost like Pixar's extreme range and variety means different critics are going to hold different films in different regard and won't necessarily agree what a "return to form" is Though if I was to be frank I'd say those films are nowhere near as good as their best and their critical reception being as high as it is in the first place is crazy to me 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyous Legion Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Soul was top top, elemental was pretty great, but then you have Luca and TR were like good, and then LY… very reasonable to talk about a “return to form” when you look at the last dozens movies vs their 90s &00s output 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Lightyear and Elemental were their last two films and did not receive great reviews by their standards so I think it's understandable that a not insignificant number of critics would see them as "off form". Was hoping for a bit more of a presence from real critics at the time of social embargo lift, guess will still have to wait until Wednesday for that.
