As Rvaan said, we are in the critical darling DC season :v
This looks fun, I look forward to see it, but maybe not on cinema for now
I'm saving for Sanic El Jeshejojo

I can feel your excitement for the film from here Dennis. It just might reach Joker masterpiece levels.
Why are these social media impressions a thing?
We go through this every damn time.
My God. You may be right.

I hope you're joking. If not, these aren't randos but critics.
But no! Not every time! They're reliable, I tell you! This time it's critics
When's the last time an overwhelming positive social media impressions turned out to be about a bad film?
I had this discussion with a friend recently because of the "Core" team only Black Canary has a bird-related name. Then they found a list of all members on Wiki and less than a quarter of them have had bird-related names, I think we should sue DC!
I'm going off of memory, but I remember Suicide Squad having some pretty stellar social media impressions before the embargo lifted
i have the rise of skywalker early impressions thread open right now, and the first page would never indicate that the film would end up as low as 52%
there's also plenty of people deeper in the thread saying 'theses are critics' impressions, not fans
the definition of a 'critic' is very loose these days
ps. lookin' forward to birds of prey
i hope the movie is good, hope the real reviews are good but wow those tweets were nothing but buzzwords
I'd go to the doctor if I was you because SS was killed out the gate
He's on another level. He's the fucking editor of Fandango's movie blog
I was gonna see the movie regardless but it's nice to get my hopes up so they'll be easier to dash
Some of the critics I like seem to have really enjoyed the film. Based on the stuff I've been hearing about the film I'm not shocked at the positive reactions.
Just want to point out that most of these snippets are such focused praise they don't actually highlight the movies excellence in any way. Writing that the movie is "fun", "action packed", "a celebration.." says nothing. Also praising Robbie is practically a shoo-in. This feels like the same critic reception that came before TRoS and we all know how that turned out.
Just going a few pages deeper and the reactions get more mixed.
absolutely...
i was just comparing page 1 of both movies as a snapshot
Going by their Twitter bios, about half of the people on the first page aren't critics.
Seems like you just had to run a 'geek' content Twitter page to get in.
This is great to read. Birds of Prey is one of my absolute favorite comics. (Gail Simone years)
TRoS got divisive early impressions and divisive reviews. For every tweet that said they liked it there was another that said it was a travesty. And I'm talking about critics, not fan impressions.
The very first batch of tweets were extremely positive. If memory serves it was the critic screening and especially the afternoon/LA screening that brought the mixed feedback in.
I say this because I remember the rollercoaster of emotions and I remember the skepticism expressed by some of the posters here when the first wave of "loved it" tweets surfaced.
What's funny is how you really only see comments like this when it's critic social media impressions for superhero stuff and blockbusters, not when it's social media impressions for like Midsommar
That is endemic to Star Wars fandom. I would contend that while you're likely correct it wouldn't apply in this scenario.
What's up with this revisionist history that RoS got overall positive social media reactions from critics? Right out of the gate I saw mixed reception. Even the people that liked it cautioned that it will be divisive.
I went to the other site to verify. Social media impressions were pretty darn positive
Reviews goes up next Wednesday (feb 5)... but they might bump it up since these impressions are favorable.

Gr*ce Randolph is having a meltdown on Twitter because critics liked the movie and she didn't. That's worth the ticket admission.
Girl, you're either misremembering or didn't actually read the Ride of Skywalker critics impressions. There was a lot of negativity in there.
Thanks, DC films have been on a good track record lately, so I've been giving them the benefit of the doubt.
Those weren't critics though. I don't know how many times this needs to be said.
