I mean I usually glance at them just to get an idea of what the reception has been, but I never let it influence my thoughts on the movie or let it prevent me from watching something I want to watch.

I've been burned MANY, many times, in both directions. (Really high scores for meh/bad movies, and vice versa.)

---

Totally agree, but I don't think RT is ever the sole decider of movie goers. If there's a movie I really want to see, I'm seeing it. Star Wars the Last Jedi has my money no matter what. Anything directed by Christopher Nolan has my money, no matter what. I won't allow any RT score to influence my desire of movies I WANT TO SEE.

Where it comes in to play, personally, is for movies I'm either lukewarm on or have no prior knowledge about them. It can be a tie breaker, basically.

This is so f-ing weird...

So stupid.

People put way too much stock into those scores. They're ultimately meaningless.

---

I can count on one closed fist the number of movies I've seen/not seen based on a tomatometer.

Dark Tower was a unique pass for me. I was planning to watch it Friday night because I will almost always watch that genre of movie regardless of reviews because I can usually find something entertaining about it.

In this one case, I read the description on DTV and then noticed the run time was 1h30m. Not that I hadn't already but that was my literal WTF moment with that movie. To condense a 9(?) book magnum opus into one movie that is only 1h30m at that?!

No thanks. I'll never watch it out of protest at this point.

So listening to critics = stupid.

But deciding you're going to like it before even seeing it = cool.

Sure.

i think the "nothing villain" is the key here. Without a good villain, there's no emotional stakes, etc.

And I thought it was DC that had the good villains and Marvels were kinda sucky.

A common criticism that follows Marvel Studios is that their movies each have essentially the same plot: reluctant hero finds themselves/their team in possession of a super power or weapon, but then villain finds said power or weapon, and the hero(es) must find it in themselves to save the world but with different superpowers and superheroes. It's a fair critique, but what's even more noticeable is how it underscores the fact that Marvel's villains, no matter how enduring or powerful or enigmatic they are in comic books, often fall flat when they make the leap to the movies.

Just heard from a buddy of mine in the know.

Apparently the studio and Whedon actually saved this film. Prior to the reshoots Snyder had gone full Sucker Punch on this, and it was devoid of anything enjoyable. The final hour was practically reshot. None of the humor and tone was there, and it of course was much longer.

Eeek.

That being said it went from abymysal to simply ok, apparently.

I see it Thursday night.

I'm really into the idea of the turning of the tides, and how the last couple thousand years of human history have been so male-dominated in a way that has not always served us clearly, here we are on the brink of destruction and so I wonder if you would say something for me. Would you say into the camera, 'Hetero-patriarchy, your wrath upon this world is over?' I want it so bad. Hetero-patriarchy, your wrath upon this world is over.'

This is a good marketing strategy by the WB, alienating half your audience. What moron thought this would be a good idea?

Ezra Miller has turned out to be a horrendous choice for the Flash.

I've agreed with RT scores far more times than not, though with the understanding of how they work (ie, the 93% debate).

Hopefully the failure of this movie puts a nail in the Flash movie.

It is really not needed. We have a perfectly good TV series with a much more interesting Flash.

This movie will make $800M. That's not a failure in the eyes of the studio.
