Don't know why critics' opinions matter so much to people. If i like something i like it, i don't need someone else's opinion to influence me.TCTTS said:Dude. Come on. As cliched as you think certain critics might be (and I'm not saying they're not) , PLEASE don't be the people bashing critic reactions to a movie you haven't even seen yet. That's one of the lamest, most cliche fanboy practices around. That's the kind of crap insane DC fanboys revert to on Twitter when a critic tweets that they didn't like Batman vs Superman a week before it's in theaters. And sure, the quality of the movie/franchise is so much higher in this case, but still. Don't become a cliche while bashing a cliche.FTACO97 said:And TCTTS wonders why some of us are leery of movie critics....Brian Earl Spilner said:
Naturally, I went to the negative reviews. Here are the summaries.Quote:
Put simply, The Last Jedi is lodged several parsecs up its own black hole.Quote:
For those hoping that there may have been a substantial uptick in quality between J.J. Abrams's The Force Awakens and Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi-in much the same way that The Empire Strikes Back improved on Star Wars-you may need a new hope.Quote:
Falsely epic, uselessly lyrical.Quote:
So many elements in Episode VIII are recycled that it could have been called Rerun of the Jedi.Quote:
But gradually, Johnson's many additions become too much of a good thing and The Last Jedi grows crowded, busy and long.

RT score interests me, but there are Star Wars people telling me this is a great SW film. I choose to trust the people who care about it as much as I do.

To me, Metacritic scores mean a lot too (along with RT), and TLJ is currently at an 86. That's ridiculously high for a blockbuster film. TFA has an 81.

That's correct. Metacritic also only uses critics from major publications.AgMarauder04 said:Correct me if I'm wrong.Koldus131 said:

Rotten Tomatoes is simply: Liked it/didn't like it or good/not good
Metacritic is a better score of HOW GOOD.
You could have a RT score of 100% and a Metacritic score of 60% and it definitively be a worse movie than 60% RT and 85% MC, correct?
Now THIS is interesting.Brian Earl Spilner said:
Yup, so Metacritic is a great indicator.
And more recently, Thor Ragnarok, which got basically universal praise as well, has a 73. Wonder Woman has a 76. (In before that guy shows up.)

Seriously? Wow.vwbug said:
DON'T read the variety review - they are getting killed on social media for putting spoilers in it. Glad I didn't click on it.
