Bad reviews dnt mean alot.

[echobbase79]

At Rotten Tomatoes, has there been a movie that has a 100 percent rating.

Alien and Aliens.

Alien is 97%

That's still very good.

[That Yellow Alien]

Guess I am mistaken.

Whoever gave it a bad review needs a good ass'whoppin.

Meh even if some movie gets 95% and its about drama or something else I will not go see it. Reason: I don't like sole drama movies. This is why I can still watch AVP and find it more enjoyable than a lot of other movies, because I like the stuff in it. The 95% review didn't earn the drama movie much more money than something else with "cool subject matter".

p.s I'm gonna watch this movie a lot.

Well, bad reviews or not, I'm still going to see this movie. I don't care what Ebert and other critics say. I want to be my own critic. I have been excited for this film, since seeing the Red Band and I'm even more excited now. I'm not expecting 4 stars, but at least it will kick THE f**k out of Anderson's AVP! I'm going into this movie as a fun, pop-corn horror/sci-fi film and not thinking "Alien 5" or "Predator 3".

If the majority of reviews of AVP R are really bad, then yeah, it might hurt it, but Colin is right, there have been many movies that were "bad" and didn't get great reviews, but made alot of money (cough* Spider-man 3 *cough).

I'm expecting AVP R to be a 2.5 or 3 stars out of 4.

BTW, Colin, are you at all surprised that some people have seen the film, already?

Hey, if there wasn't much rejoicing, we should all just kiss the movie goodbye

No amount of bad whiney reviews are gonna keep me away from this. Won't be able to see it opening day but as soon as i get back from visiting my folks i'm gonna be hauling ass to the local big cinema... with my flat mate in tow. He just wants to come with me to see me giggle exitedly with all the gore and my 2 fave movie monsters. Yes i am a disturbed person.

Nice to see your still here with us Colin. If you or Greg ever come to Australia expect a glomping from me if your ever in Melbourne.

Aliens...

Jurassic Park only has a 87 over there. Not all their judgment is good.

You did not answer the question there, Colin...!

Why the PRO critics aren't getting a whiff of this movie...?


Can you answer us that...?

[YutaniDitch]

It is not the percentage that affects me, it's the tone and the ground covered in that review...

Spoilers or not, if a review cover the ground from the script (Preprod) to the VFX (post-prod) and the result is not good (spoilers/movie facts help the reviewer exemplify whis claims) and when 3 FAN reviewers state the movie is bad, I tend to believe them more, because the first NON-FAN (Movie web) one clearly shows that he knows that the more people will see the movie, the more possibilities Alien 5 and Predator 3 will have to be done... 

And it is what's in the reviews that matter, not stars or percentages...I would not compare a 29% Next with a 22% AVP... And I surely would not have given 100% to Aliens with all its 'imperfections'...

Hence why only the CONTENT of the review means anything to me... That and the pedigree of the reviewer... And they exist to prevent us from spending our money on bad movies... Like a warning sign: 'See it at your own peril'...!

vehtam's friend did a Spoiler-free review and had many points of contact with Dacu's review... They are fans, not some newspaper reviewer who will watch it and analyse it not in terms of fandomness, but in terms of watchability and quality of the movie's intrincate parts... A movie being the sum of all parts, not just one or two...
