IMO, the more important message from the reviews is that it panders to fans and leaves non-fans in the dust. The fan base will see it as...

they were always going to. The rest? It's iffy.

 

This all adds up to a huge opening weekend and a sharp decline afterwards.

Rogue One embargo just lifted, here come the reviews {nm} <font color="green">RHawk</font> Dec 13, 09:03

Seem mixed-positive {nm} numbersix_99 Dec 13, 09:21

RT's critical consensus is very positive and its at 84% with 56 reviews in so far Moviesnob Dec 13, 10:14

COLBT too, mostly negative. {nm} Antibody Dec 13, 09:44

I'm seeing ENTIRELY negative. People amazed that it even exists as it is {nm} PlayItAgainSam Dec 13, 10:07

84% on RT so far with 64 reviews in. {nm} Fechin Dec 13, 10:13

Dropping under 80% now - getting closer to Top Critic thoughts... {nm} TwoMisfits Dec 13, 10:24

DOOOM! {nm} slipping jimmy Dec 13, 10:26

It's currently around Revenge of the Sith RT's score which is more or less Return of the Jedi's score. {nm} notfabio Dec 13, 10:51

It'll take a few days to stabilize, but safely ahead of Episode I and II. {nm} notfabio Dec 13, 10:53

Some of ROTJedi reviews are from the re-release. Anything pre-internet or even pre-RT are not reliable IMO. {nm} Antibody Dec 13, 10:59

IMO, the more important message from the reviews is that it panders to fans and leaves non-fans in the dust. The fan base will see it as... PlayItAgainSam Dec 13, 11:07

Didn't I say that the last few weeks - that this will play like a supers movie?:)... {nm} TwoMisfits Dec 13, 11:18

The fanbase is $900M huge. {nm} Antibody Dec 13, 12:06

Yeah, but now drop kids 10 and under and spouses...and you drop a lot of potential money... {nm} TwoMisfits Dec 13, 12:08

Since you've turned it from a family movie to a fan movie - not the best move when families want to go to movies at Christmas... {nm} TwoMisfits Dec 13, 12:09

SW16 has the same rating as SATAR7. Parents will still be taking their young kids to SW16. {nm} Antibody Dec 13, 12:13

and I think little girls will eat it up...*pictures them running around saying "blahstah" and "who's with me?"* =P {nm} tealfan Dec 13, 12:23

Not as many...reviews have made it clear this is not a kid movie, like Star 7 was... TwoMisfits Dec 13, 12:34

scientific studies have proven conclusively that watching Rogue One cures all diseases known to mankind {nm} slipping jimmy Dec 13, 12:37

Parents aren't gonna read reviews. It's Star Wars. They're already familiar with its fantasy violence. {nm} Antibody Dec 13, 13:02

And you know this b/c? You should head over to the Disboards...some parents are refunding their opening night tickets right now... TwoMisfits Dec 13, 13:10

Confirmation bias is a hell of a drug. {nm} Dbot1800 Dec 13, 13:18

Because they've seen 8 Star Wars films and are okay with "laser blasts" and arms being chopped off. WARS is in the title. Antibody Dec 13, 13:21

Okay, I'll keep waiting for $200M+ floor and $900M for this movie that many have suggested - you've totally sold me:)... TwoMisfits Dec 13, 13:24

Has more than just that one person (forget who specifically ) said anything on this board about 200M being the floor? &bernou;ionic&Mscr;oron Dec 13, 13:30

Go back to Day 1 presales thread - it was insanity movie pumping... {nm} TwoMisfits Dec 13, 13:35

Day 1 after big presales data came out? Seems reasonable to react positively to that news. How about since then? ℬionicℳoron Dec 13, 13:39

Any taking them back? {nm} TwoMisfits Dec 13, 13:42

This is a back and forth Movie Discussion. Why are you taking it so personally? {nm} Antibody Dec 13, 13:33

I'm not - I'm pointing out data and getting it dismissed with "reasons"...so I won't point out more data... TwoMisfits Dec 13, 13:41

What data? You have "reasons" as well. {nm} Antibody Dec 13, 13:43
