More reviews saying fun, the better. It looks fun. I just want it to be fun. I... I just wanna have a fun time...
I've literally never seen a negative pre-release tweet from Erik Davis lol. Not once. It's possible one exists, but I haven't seen it
More Reactions! (Part 1)

I remember the early tweets for Rise of Skywalker saying stuff like "Still coming to terms with everything that happens in this movie", and my immediate thought was "Oh no."
Probably just paid in invites to preview/press screenings, which would go away if they were critical.
I feel like the ones with embedded gifs and publicity images are more likely to be following a studio suggested impressions format.
the 'they go the whole way on the R-rating!' WOOO MATURE SWEARING aspect makes these reviews somehow even sadder than usual
luckily i remembered to bring my special scapula to remove all the balls stuck to the walls
Yeah, I'm not sure why it's difficult to believe that he made a good movie.
Damn it's super weird how hiring a good filmmaker to do his thing supposedly resulted in a better product than an executive-driven hodgepodge of focus tested elements that was recut to resemble a teaser trailer.
I'm sure there's some sort of lesson in here for studios to ignore in the future.

These kinds of posts are starting to become pretty blatant shitposts at this point.
Why are you even in the thread at all if you don't trust reaction tweets? Just to let everyone know?
Context matters.
Most of the reviews mentioning that are mentioning in the context that the film balances the hard R rating with having an emotional story where you'll care about the characters, which is often not the case for films that go over the top with violence.
Lmao I remember this specific tweet. What a weaselly little liar, dude!
This same logic could be applied to so many different threads. I think it's fair to point out that reaction tweets are so consistently positive and thus hold little value.
No you see they're doing everyone a great service by constantly reminding them to be wary of getting excited about something. It's very valuable for them to do so for... reasons.
Tweets with images just get more engagement, which is obviously everyone's goal here, so I wouldn't put too much weight on that as a parameter to judge this.
In any case, soon enough we will have full-fledged reviews. It's going to be hard to be worse than the first one, that's for sure, so that's something.
Then people should stop posting this shill shit that has literally no value.
Just learned he is a "managing editor" at Fandango. Shock of all shocks, guy who praises every blockbuster under the sun is in the selling movie tickets biz.
I think people probably need it, because I keep seeing posters whine about things being overhyped after they went far out of their way to lap up the hype.
Hope you didn't bet too much.
The majority of early Twitter reactions on the first film were from a fan screening -- not critics with blue checkmarks.
From what I can find, the first real critic reactions for the film when actual reviews hit and those, as we know, were not good.
And yet, there are numerous other reactions than just that one person that come from critics/writers.
It's not a big deal. People just like getting early reactions and, in turn, a general idea of what to expect. Because what we saw with WW84 was not common and it's rare that early critic reactions like this end up being overwhelmingly positive for a film that is actually bad.
