Fanboy Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Are we really comparing Les Miserables to the sound of music? Lol. Can someone give me the link for Armour on RT? Wanted to see what it has, and it won't come up when I search it and I'm spelling it right.No you're not, there is only one "r". http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/771307454/93%, 8.5/10 Average.

JackO Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 If by reviews you mean a few people than sure. Other critics love the film. Most haven't posted yet. If by reviews you mean a few people than sure. Other critics love the film. Most haven't posted yet. Isn't that how it became an alleged best picture frontrunner in the first place? A few screening reactions tweeted by a few people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 You are fooling yourself if you think reviews that call a film vocal diarrea and an enema are the hallmarks of a BP winner. Rating is inflated by UK fanboys. 55 on metacritic.Most of those negative reviews are equally bullshit reviews that hate on the film in the same manner the UKs reviews love it. This is wait and see time. Plus, I trust Total Film, HeyUGuys, Cole Smithey, Variety, and others, and they gave positive reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotcha. And P.S. Half those reviews you cited are mixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 IMO, much more interesting than Les Miz pans and snubs are Lincoln snubs in BP and BD. Spileberg is tanking like there`s no lifeboat and unlike Les Mis his movie`s got great critical notices. However, Guilds could change that overnight. Lincoln is very much their movie and they are put in the position to award Spileberg for the third time, some 13 years since his last win, or award Bigelow again only 3 years since her first win. Now, when you think of it, people who scored multiple wins are all big legends - Streep (3 and it took long for that 3d), Hanks (was big boxoffice at the time of his one-two ounches), DDL (big gap between his wins, is considered a genius). Is Bigelow that highly regarded? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riczhang Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Was hoping that Amour would sweep every single Foreing Language film award this season, but it got BP here so I'm not complaining. Holy Motors is an extremely deserved and fine win, my #2 of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishstick Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Maybe Wells was right about Lincoln? I`m just trying to be objective here. I don`t agree that ZDT = TSN because ZDT subject matter is AMPAS friendly and Bigelow is liked unlike Fincher. However, multiple wins are not business as usual especially within couple of years or so. It takes something/someone really special at least at the moment if not in body of work to pull it off. So since I consider Hooper dead due to reviews (AMPAS would prefer some substantial critical backing for their intended winner and LM doesn`t have it) and ZDT and Bigelow being frontrunners, I`m wondering if they are ready to give her another so soon. She has an advantage to be the only relevant female director so giving her second would shut up jaded feminists while keeping directors a boy`s club with one exceptional female member (see how no victory at all for women this is - it`s still only one the same lady and no other, no paving the way for anyone but herself, very clever way guys use her presence among them). OTOH, Spielberg has body of work that pretty much demands third Oscar but things are looking much better for DDL to achieve the feat. Can both do it?

And maybe some of those are mixed, but they're evidence that the film isn't getting "trashed" near as much as you say. I have no reason to inflate Les Mis. Django is my horse in this race, and I'll be just as happy if ZDT, Lincoln, Argo, or Pi wins. I'm excited a bout the movie because I like the musical and I like what I've seen so far- the same reason anybody gets excited and defends any movie. That's the point of these things called "opinions." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
