Didn't know it ws at 88%. The few I looked at seemed to pooh pooh the movie. I'm hoping to get to see this next weekend. It's been awhile

since my friends were this high on a movie. I'm not sure if Star trek counts or if they were just happy that  this didn't pooch this one too. I just chocked it up to the disconnect between  the movie audiences and critics that seem to feel the need to be critical just because they are critics. I think this is one of the reasons critics are  becoming more irrelevant. Most of the summer blockbusters it realise aren't going to be masterpieces of movie making. More technical achievement. But I can go in there and have an enjoyable time. Take TFRM2 did I wish it had a little more script to fill in the spaces between robot on robot action  sure but I knew going in that Micheal Bay likes to blow stuff up. I knew mostly what I was going to get going in. Like the studio saying they didn't screen it for critics as there was no upside. Critics sometimes forget that they are the by product of movies and not the other way around. :)

I think this one is going to have legs just because my friends were so high on it. They have been talking this up pretty much spoiler free, at least when I'm around. :)

Thoughts on this weekends openers and delist. Vashta Nerada Aug 16, 23:23

TTWRF isn't a romantic comedy... nice try though. {nm} secretstalker Aug 16, 23:24

Snark is nice. You should try for some of that thought you where mentioning and try make a constructive post for once. {nm} Vashta Nerada Aug 16, 23:27

Wow, three "comebacks" to me merely point out a simple fact... secretstalker Aug 17, 04:23

And you could have said that in your first post. "Nice try though" doesn't leave much room for dialog. {nm} H-Mogul Aug 17, 08:07

We might actually get people talking on this board. There isn't really much dialog you can work into snark. Try one of those opinions you Vashta Nerada Aug 16, 23:28

Maybe it's just a romance movie. Those tend to have legs too as the people that see them tend not to run out the first weekend. Word of Vashta Nerada Aug 16, 23:33

TTWRF had a 2.4 internal mult compared to the 3 point something that JULIE had... secretstalker Aug 17, 04:20

And #3 -- did you actually *SEE* the reviews? something like 34% on RT, 2nd worst to TGRDS. secretstalker Aug 17, 04:27

why so high and mighty ? chill {nm} JMT Aug 17, 00:13

I think there are too many chick flicks out there, I know they tend to hold up well post adjust but I am not banking on TTRWF to follow suit {nm} leo21 Aug 17, 03:17

My female take-TTWRF has a creepy factor, duly noted in the reviews, and Bana is bland. Post adj short. {nm} maltrinity Aug 17, 04:59

Bana has always been bland. {nm} SocioEvo Aug 17, 05:58

PJACK definitely helped DIST9 but he wasn't the deciding factor for most I'd bet. And critics we not so-so {nm} MiyazakiFan Aug 17, 06:30

Agreed on the critics. 88% RT and especially 81 at Metacritic are a long way from so-so. {nm} shadowking Aug 17, 07:11
