Ya know, I'm a pretty adamant Whedon fan who loves Avengers and though AoU was pretty good.

But this

Joss Whedon's visceral understanding of cinematic geometry and his symphonic flair for choreographing movement allowed that marquee set-piece to galvanize the separate threads of the Marvel Cinematic Universe into a unified whole

is a way over the top description of Whedon, haha

Now 43/1 on RT.
 
Even the harsh reviews end up fresh. I call bullshit.

It's probably 2 and a half hours of this:

latest


Feige, you devious bastard!
 
83 on metacritic now. Only 16 reviews though. I guess next week is when they add the large bulk of them (same goes for RT)

They added that Ehrlich one tho
 
A C from Ehrlich is like an A++ from anyone else, though.

The fact this one managed to work on him a little bit probably says something, because (unless I'm confusing him for someone else in my old-ass head right now) he's never been all that charitable to the Marvel films.
 
The real tragedy behind a late US release is we have to wait longer for the Double Toasted review ;_;

No, that's him. He's ALWAYS been very negative towards MCU. He gave it 2.5 out of five stars on Letterboxd, which is the same he gave Winter Soldier("Only occasionally insufferable")

So thats a good sign if you liked Winter Soldier!
 
I can't wait to see the dumb shit Korey will say about Black Panther and Spiderman.

I really love Double Toasted.
I just realized what Double Toasted is. I know both of those guys. Small world

Edit: i guess i should say ive met and hung out with them a couple of times. Not like im close with them
 
So, there's a ton of reviews incoming from all over the world, some need to be translated, which is why it's taken so long for a consensus, but it'll be Certified Fresh as soon as they can get all the reviews from today up.

And yeah, doesn't look like it'll drop below 96% from what I'm told.

So this should be the highest rated MCU flim

A new king.

GG Iron Man and TDK.
 
Review trends perhaps? If there's a bunch of unaccounted for reviews I imagine they have a good idea where it's gonna land since so far the reception has been universally positive.

Oh yeah, I mean, it's not like RT has a secret backdoor access to critics' minds, they classify the reviews as soon as others publish them and as we see them too, but obviously they have a whole team dedicated to hunting and gathering reviews from different outlets that even us hardcore fans miss.

Is there an eta on when all these reviews will be added?

I've seen you on Gaf but didn't know you had an inside scoop

I tried to get a firm response on the issue of how many rotten reviews are incoming, but my source didn't want to say much, just that so far, all incoming reviews that person has seen are fresh, no negatives.

Ah so you do know someone on the inside

Ask your source why that one rotten review was taken in.

Lot of rumblings going around how the site for said review is malfunctioning, reviewer doesn't have much history reviewing, etc. Brings into question why he's even Tomatometer-approved.
 
But I heard that BvS was proof that everyone was burned out on superhero movies.
