RT Score: The Avengers vs The Dark Knight Rises

[HeyItsMoses]

Ok, the Avengers trailers have been looking great, and the reviews just further proves on how amazing the film is, and it's going to be huge!It currently has an RT score of 97% and I don't see it dropping less than 95% after all the reviews are accounted for. Before The Avengers, The Dark Knight had the highest RT score for a Live-Action superhero film (The Incredibles, animated, scored 97%) with a score of 94%.With the finale coming up in just 3 months, and coming off from a great film, will The Dark Knight rises have a better RT score than The Avengers or will The Avengers be champ for this year, and of all Superhero films?[Note: Or do you think The Amazing Spider-Man will be a great quality film, despite with how Spider-Man 3 scored?]

I'll be surprised if the mods let this thread stay around. But I voted for Avengers.

This kind of needed to be made before all TA reviews came out.

The Avengers with 97% as totalBest superhero movie all time until Avengers 2 comes out

I went for TDKR. There is a chance it gets a lower percentage but a higher average rating though.

He's focusing entirely on percentage though. Avengers currently has a lower average rating than TDK.

Not with an 8.1 rating for AvengersTDKR should be around 80% with a 7.5 rating.

Whedon will become one top Hollywood directors after this weekend.

nah too low for TDKR. The 8.1 will drop with nearly 200 more reviews to come. Edited April 30, 2012 by Magic

I think average rating is more important than percentage so I don't care.

They both have their purposes. Percentage gives you a general idea of whether it's likely a good or bad movie. Average rating tells you just how good or bad it might be.

I think some people might not like the end of TDKR since it suppose to be end of franchise.

Heaps of films have percentages in the higher 80's or early 90's with way lower average ratings than other films in that range and it deceives people. It really comes down to the average rating in the end IMO.

I tend to agree. Social Network has a lower percentage than Avengers, but its average rating is off the charts compared to where Avengers is sitting right now. Odds are Avengers' average rating isn't going up over the next 200 reviews.

The Avengers - 96%The Dark Knight Rises - 92%The Amazing Spiderman - 74%

Average score isn't perfect either. Quite a few reviews have no score. Unless RT forces each reviewer to give score both percentage and average score are important.

That's why MetaCritic is better. They assign a score based on how positive or negative the review is.

[MuffinMan]

I pretty much disregard percent after a certain point. If it's certified fresh, chances are it's a good movie, but how good depends on the degree of positivity... which is average rating or Metacritic scores.
