who thought this would be a good idea
I love Michael Bay.
53 %. With the same positive review by Huddleston linked twice, lol.
Speed Racer is not Chappie, and I didn't like Speed Racer. But nice strawman.
Benoni.Or just explain Die Antwoord in general?
What does this even mean?Rotten Tomatoes is pretty useless for anything pre-2000.
What does this even mean?
There's a lot more reviews to collaborate online these days; a lot of the movies pre 2000 have very little reviews so a consensus has a greater chance of being off on RT.
It's an amazing film, sure it's simple (as was the source material) and yes it's visually stunning, it's a well crafted movie...
So, why is it better now? internet era? please explain
Well The Life Aquatic has a 56% on RT and people tell me it's Anderson's best movie. There's still hope right?
I really dislike them, so it's put me off ever watching this film. Especially wuth poor reviews :/

This looked stupid and boring in both the trailers I've been subjected to 4 or 5 times over the past month at the cinema. I was never gonna see it anyway. Who gives a fuck about chappie.
Apparently you cared enough to make a useless post about not caring...

I've actually startet to like Elysium after I realized it's just a 80's action film with a modern visual style.
Plywood nailing it.About what I expected given the trailer.
How is that a strawman? People put too much stock in critics opinions, despite evidence pointing to the fact that they won't always agree.
Especially a bogus one like RT, which is worse than IMDB and metacritic because of its binary good or bad system.
Spoil me the ending?
So continuing the trend of snagging top tier women and barely using them... Le sigh. Jodie Foster and Sigourney Weaver barely act anymore and both choose these projects.and Sigourney Weaver has at most 15 lines.
spoilers for the end of the movie don't read obviously unless you want to
At the beginning of the movie its established that Chappie's battery is not swappable so he is going to "die" in 5 days. After ED-209 (Hugh Jackmans rockem sockem robot) fights everyone most of the humans die, including Chappie's "mom", and Dev Patel (creator).
However Chappie reverse-engineers consciousness (it is downloadable to a flash drive, NOT KIDDING) and at the last moment downloads Dev Patel to a test robot body and Chappie to another soldier body, so they are effectively immortal. At the very end Chappie takes over the robot factory, builds a new type of robot that looks more human, and downloads a backup of his Antwoord mommy into it.
Yes, humans now can be immortal but that point is never touched upon or thought of as something that could be valuable. Chappie and his 2 new robot buddies will go on to further adventures in Chappie 2: The Search for a Real Plot.
The movie is really just a semi philosophical treatise on what it means to be alive, but its not done very well (Blade Runner and the half dozen AI indie 2014 movies do it better) and it doesn't explore at all what the impacts to society other than "Hugh Jackman doesn't like the idea". Like the Hobbit trilogy it drowns too much in its special effects and not enough time on why people do what they do.
For a scene % I'd say Chappie is in the movie probably 70%, Die Antwood (sic) is like 70%, Dev Patel about 30%, Hugh Jackman about 30%, and Sigourney Weaver has at most 15 lines.
You're saying it COULD have started this way?
You know who should do Alien? The guy who did Birdman, with Blomkamp working as conceptual artist.
If a film gets a 30% on RT, that means 30% of critics liked it. Or would recommend it. So what's the problem? We're dealing more in probabilities than black/white "this film is good/bad", more "there's a 30% chance you'll like it." that's how I look at it anyways.

I'm glad I don't base my entertainment around reviews and other peoples opinions most of the time, I wouldn't enjoy damn near anything...
That said I'm stoked, Elysium isn't nearly as bad as people make it to be, and the bad parts were due to studio fuckery, Prometheus also is not bad, but GAF hyperbole and all that nonsense...
Someone please tell me the partial nudity is Yolandi and not Ninja or Jackmans arse or something...
Why is everyone crossing this movie off instantly? Half say it's awful and half say it's fantastic. So only the bad reviews count?
With as much that's wrong with Prometheus, the fact people still feel compelled to stack the deck against it is weird. Why exaggerate/misrepresent what's wrong with the film when what's ACTUALLY wrong with the film is damning enough.
Plus whoever came up with that stupid infographic didn't even get the basic details of the shit right.
I think it was an extended scene in Alien and then Aliens came up with its own method of reproduction with the intro of the queen but it has been a while.Isn't there also the cut scene from Alien where Ripley finds Dallas cocooned by the xeno? I believe that was supposed to be an alternate method of reproduction, as there was no queen nor method for producing eggs/facehuggers on the Nostromo.
