Alien Covenant Review Roundup

[Hemi]

Lots of good science fiction movies this summer! Me like!

[cucuchu]

A good bit of new reviews up, mostly positive, boosting Covenant to a 78% on RT from 75% two days ago. 170 reviews so far, roughly 92% fresh with top critics.

Will be interesting to see where this settles and if the influx of positive reviews gives the box office numbers a surge beyond the prediction numbers for its debut in the United States and 53 other markets today.


Edit: down to 77%...damn you Washington Post, make a liar out of me will you!!

75% Now.

Yeah, I saw that. Oh well, just saw it and loved it so if the RT plummets to a 2% I don't care, this movie hit all the right notes for me.

Average Rating is 6.5/10 i don't think it's bad score through.

Double Toasted Review

Prometheus is 6.9.

And back down to 74 for Covenant...

And to 73 and 6.4.

Score is now 60-40 or 50-50. 5/6 good reviews vs. 5 bad reviews. :-(
Why is that? If it will go on like this it will be 67% at the end. Still fresh, but no certified fresh anymore.
I haven't seen the film yet, but i am disappointed (in this score).  I really expected a 7,5/10 or 3,5/5. At least.

This is kind of the flaw with Rotten Tomatoes. A film that every critic rated a 6/10, which I think is the fresh cutoff, could still be a 100% fresh. It is not a good measure of quality imo.

Yes, but that does not explain the sudden downfall from 78% to 73% and dropping.

if you really want to see just go ! movie good or not let your decide.

Of course i wil go. I am an Alien-fan and will make up my own mind, but nevertheless i am disappointed...in this score.
2 different things of course. Hopefully i will like AC.

Eh...it may go back up or down, but still it remains fresh. It is a divisive film that is for sure, but the majority are enjoying it.

Yes, but if it remains certified fresh? That is the question. To certified fresh or not to certified fresh. ;-)
