Feels like we've been waiting for this one for a while. Looks good and can't wait to not pay 30 dollars for a ticket, popcorn and drink.

[DancesWithWerewolves]

Sweet.

[Monster]

This one's for you, Jiggy.

[Headhunter]

Holy fuck, yes

[showa58taro]

Ooh. That looks good. Really good.

[Headhunter]

Early reviews are through the roof good. Average review of 90/100 on RT, 92/100 on Metacritic.

[DancesWithWerewolves]

I see a perfect 100% at RT right now with 56 reviews in (unless you mean the actual average most people don't look at, which does sit at 9.01/10, an incredibly high rating)?

[Headhunter]

Yeah, I don't even look at the overall tomato-meter. 100% can mean everyone thought a movie was decent. I like to split the difference between audience and critic scores on Meta and RT, average those two and you come to a number that actually represents how much people liked it (if you care about such things) and works on a 1-100 or 1-10 scale.

People actually look at that shit?

Sure, it's a resource. Most people do. Not a big deal.

You two.. fucking guys... NOT get into the sabertooth mathematics with this shit.

I...don't think the math is the debatable part?

I don't even know what an argument about this would look like. He asked if people care. People do. Jason doesn't care and that's cool. Sounds good.

Rotten Tomatoes absolutely sucks.

Rotten Tomatoes absolutely sucks.

It's literally a compilation of people's opinions. It doesn't have the capacity to be good or bad.

They were caught manipulating scores. It's phony baloney bull.

Yep, RT's Fresh/Splat is not reliable. However that little detail of the actual rating is more accurate. That's how I know movies like Black Panther were not as impressive with critics as it's 97% fresh claimed

Metacritic doesn't seem to collect enough reviews, but at least it's score has more legitimacy.

Yeah, those fresh ratings mean almost nothing. I've seen 100%s with average ratings In the 70s. That said, the critic average for Black Panther is 85.5 which is still really, really good.

It's usually the user scores on these websites you have to account for, as of late seems to mostly be those trying to own the libs. Ex: 44 for The Last Jedi, to a lesser extent 64 for Black Panther.

[Headhunter]

Not too surprising, but The Godfather stands alone at #1 in my "system" with an average cumulative rating of 95/100.
