Movies

The only reviews that will count will be the theater goers. If Harley or the Joker performances approach

the level Heath Ledger did people will return. The overall movie itself won't matter as much. I saw BvS this past weekend for the first time and enjoyed it for what its worth. Maybe the whole movie wasn't quite as good as one may have hoped but avoiding spoilers there were several excellent moments within to make up for it. SS may very well be the same. Point being a movie like this has more than one way to draw people back for a second look.

The Metacritic average isn't looking good right now at just 47% MoneyMagnet Aug 02, 13:13

reviews won't harm the scarley o'hara effect for the fanboys and girls... Its the Gone With the Wind buzz for the comicbook generation {nm} jmt-nl Aug 02, 13:27

Reviews do hurt - it's gonna keep the top-end down and kill legs... TwoMisfits Aug 02, 13:30

It will hurt legs for sure, like BvS, but opening weekend will still be huge. Hold long and sell the adjust {nm} tomcat90 Aug 02, 14:16

Opening day will be solid, but can drop off the following day. It'll still grab the August record, though. {nm} Jay_Beezy Aug 02, 14:19

+1, word travels too fast. Between now and Thursday, and after Thursday until Sunday are the buzz pockets. And now is helping decide later. {nm} chosenone2oo5 Aug 02, 14:31

The responses I've seen to some is defensive and accuse the reviewers of not understanding the comics. Tickets bought in defiance. leo21 Aug 02, 18:11

Reviews won't affect opening day, but films can drop off on Saturday as word gets out on the Friday they don't live up to expectations. {nm} Jay_Beezy Aug 02, 14:16

Also, expectations are more than "is it a good movie?". It's often about "does the movie live up to its marketing?" (spoiler spec) RogerMore Aug 03, 07:23

Seems like about double what 9 Lives will actually do. Tops. UConnHusky Aug 02, 13:56

Must've looked good on paper, amIright? {nm} chosenone2oo5 Aug 02, 14:32
