Wish | Walt Disney Animation Studios | November 22, 2023 | Chris Pine plays a baddie DILF, new trailer has dropped, reactions are reactions

[keysersoze123]

I dont see mediocre reviewed Disney Animation to play like an illumination movie. In this environment families would just wait for it to hit D+. Presales for early shows tomorrow look meh to me. Worse than Trolls(which itself did not have good previews). But the discount tuesday will be the big day and then there is holiday weekend. 

[Liiviig 1998]

6.50 avg general

 

Top critics. 5.1/10  avg.

 

Better hope those early screenings bring initial  good WOM.

I always thought it looked derivative, but usually critics eat up mediocre Disney movies like Ralph 2, Brave, or Raya. I am really curious as to why that didn't happen this time.

Honestly, think it’s because of the rough year this year. Some feel like they can more easily go for the kill without much flack. Stuff like Marvels and QM probably would’ve been in the IM2 level of reviews if they came out 5 years earlier.

Disney has a brand and reputation so their is a higher  internal sub conscious expectation

 

Illumination animation really targets kids specifically. It just knows how to make fun entertainment for kids to enjoy.

 

Other than first minions which is the most nothing movie  ,can't comfortably watch the rest , it's like animation junk food .

 

Pixar and WDAs are not this . 

[Liiviig 1998]

Tbh WDAs hasn't been strong since 2016 when they had Zootopia and Moana .

 

Wralph wrecks was dissapointing

Frozen 2 felt like it barely had a story

Raya is overrated as hell.

Encanto was decent

Never bothered with strange world.

Secret life of pets 2 is fresh. I do not even know by what standards Illumination movies get reviewed.

I've literally rewatched IM 2 this week and I really can't tell where it is supposed to be better than Quantumania besides expectations I guess.

 

I suppose we are all sharks who smell blood in the water every so often in our life.

I have the impression top critics really dislike the self-congratulatory stuff

6 of 13 illumination movies are rotten. Critics don't exactly handle them with gloves either.

In that case, the general audience might not mind the self - congratulatory stuff.

Given what those 13 films actually are, not really

IM2 is one of my worst MCU movies but it's miles better than Quantumania.

 

Tony's acting alone ,storyline with his father, hammer 's comedic timing are way better than anything quantumania can master up.

 

Not an MCU thread . But for me the notion that critics harder on it is there to an extent but it's gets a little overexxagerated . The quality has dropped we would be seeing a more clearer divide btn audience and critics . But when critics and audiences agree on the same negative  outcome ,there is something wrong with your product.

This has more negative reviews registered on RT in 90 minutes that Moana did in the last 7 years, and we haven't even hit 40 reviews yet.

 

GA will probably be warmer to this than critics, but this is pretty awful start in reviews for WDAS.

[Mr Impossible]

All that matter is if families like it. I saw on Wikipedia that the budget for this thing is $200M? Is that actually real because this movie looks cheap. I would’ve thought around $50 million budget from the trailers. 

[Dingdong]

Crazyyyy, I guess Disney can kiss that Animated Feature Oscsr goodbye.

 

But I’m thoroughly surprised by the middling reviews. Hope this goes above 70% when all is said and done.

[Liiviig 1998]

62% 39 reviews 6.30/10 avg.

That hand drawn 2D water colour aesthetic combined with the 3D CG doesn't come cheap.

[Mojoguy]

It's hilarious that ALL the Nov movies this year are ending with RT scores in the 60s. Talk about meh reviews. Wish they were better.

Best case scenario is this pull a The Greatest Showman and legs out through the holidays like crazyyy despite the middling reviews

If that $200M Wish production budget is true, Disney's theatrical division is gonna have a loooonnng discussion on Dec 1 after this month...
