Only "Top Critic" Review is http://www.thewrap.com/movies/column-post/man-steel-review-grimmer-superman-might-not-soar-it-flies-96296 {nm} KalElFan Jun 11, 03:04

Warning: That Wrap review definitely has spoilers. Though it doesn't leak the biggest one, it alludes to it. {nm} KalElFan Jun 11, 03:12

THR: Ticket sales for SUPR2 pacing ahead of FAST6 & Fandango reported SUPR2 outpacing all previous 2013 summer films (adv. sales) tatoufan Jun 11, 03:37

That's an article from last week, an eternity as the RT and other reactions, WOM, etc.develop five days later now and three to OW. {nm} KalElFan Jun 11, 04:31

Down to 72% with 30 reviews, 7.5 average, 43% rotten from Top Critics (7 reviews) {nm} numbersix_99 Jun 11, 04:08

Yep, the spoilery Wrap review above, positive but w/ "grimmer superman-might-not-soar" aces it in a way. More later. {nm} KalElFan Jun 11, 04:36

Anyone else concerned about the slipping? Now at 71% with only 31 reviews counted. Experience tells me it will end up at least in the 60s. Carcharodon Jun 11, 06:02

To clarify I'm concerned for B.O. / WoM a bit. But it's 72% and 7.5/10, vs 76% and 7/10 for SR. The 7.5 is a half point better and... {nm} KalElFan Jun 11, 06:55

Methinks part of the RT problem is reviewers feeling burned over-rating SR, and concerned about the perceived "grimm" part of SUPR2. {nm} KalElFan Jun 11, 06:57

Think the grim part is only an issue for dedicated fanboys. Everyone else shouldn't be shocked {nm} numbersix_99 Jun 11, 07:04

PLEASE be careful with spoilers... I'm trying to go in as fresh as possible! At any rate, it did just jump back to 72... we shall see. {nm} Carcharodon Jun 11, 07:09

Reading my comment now it comes off as scolding... I wasn't trying to do that; I just don't want to know any plot points before going in. Carcharodon Jun 11, 07:11

Understood, and I've been meticulous about spoiler space / walls too. But unfortunately "grimmer" was in the link above. I'm saying... {nm} KalElFan Jun 11, 07:39

Don't be disuaded at all by that or the RT. My view is Superman is still the Light and Batman the Dark, but both are "good guys". {nm} KalElFan Jun 11, 07:42
