I don't think so. People just don't care about an animated Spider-Man.

Having no connection with TF (old or new) apart from having seen half the first movie at home and giving up, it's weird to hear that there is an actually good TF film.
Do people not know how RT works?The large disparity between Metacritic and RT for everything but Spider-Verse is telling.
After cross-checking the two sites I look at RT scores like Bumblebee and my reaction is basically
An MC of 66 and an RT of 94 has to be one of the biggest score aggregate disparities I've ever seen.
Yep, same for me. People are going to sleep on it no matter what you say.
Fuckin Blade Runner 2049 all over again.
the actual average on RT is 7.1.
I'm with you Mouse. I don't doubt it's quality but after the last one I'm still in shock that this is actually really good.
Oh, i know exactly how it works. That's why it's worthless. Most people pretty much only look at the RT%
"An MC of 66 and an RT of 94 has to be one of the biggest score aggregate disparities I've ever seen. "
i remember that movie being on from time to time on regular tv but i never wanted to watch it.

7.1 to 6.6 is not a big disparity
Rotten Tomatoes just manipulates what you pay attention to dont worry
I kind of feel like Mary Poppins May have legs; just saw it today and couldn't book decent seats at any theaters near Pasadena CA. Finally found a showing with 11 open seats for my relatives and I at my ArcLight and man that was a great crowd and pristine film experience.
It was really delightful.
It was really delightful.
Furious 7 was bigger than Age of Ultron that year, almost surpassing Avengers 1, and one of the ten biggest movies ever.
Likely the absolute peak of that series. Fast 9 will drop below Fast 8, I bet.
I was joking, but now I see this...

The "mera mera" thing with Heard is fun. She's fluent in Spanish and has been doing a bunch of interviews.
I'm kind of out of the loop on Captain Marvel, but I'm wondering what the general hype train is like on that one. I know the Youtube views on the trailers seem pretty good. I think I originally predicted it to be a billion dollar film.
I don't know, I think Shazam will do more than half a mill. It quite fun from the trailer.
I know you meant the MCU Captain Marvel.
I don't see it being a break-out billion dollar hit but it should do well regardless. Maybe somewhere in the 700 mil range is what I would predict. 650 at the lowest.
And now that I've said that, a billion is guaranteed.
Lolz.
I meant 800M obviously!
But yes, I would bet any amount of money that it grosses at least 800K at the BO. Anyone want to bet?

If the movie is good and can attract females the way Wonder Woman did then I reckon $1B is perhaps in play. The film also has a pretty nice release schedule around it, there's nothing one would consider huge that could eat into it for a while. Expecting at least $800M mind you.
It's almost like this is a different movie with different people behind the wheel
The old ones were awful, Bumblebee was a ton of fun. I was iffy on the buzz going in but it loved up to the hype.
RT% tells you how likely someone is to like it. MC score tells you much reviewers liked it with weighted averages.
It's more like how likely you are not to hate it.
If every reviewer gave a film a C+ it would have the same RT% as a film where every critic gave it an A+. I don't see any value in that.
RT% tells you how likely a critic is to like it.
There's a pretty wide gap between what critics like and what I like.
I was one of the people that thought $1 billion was a lock for CM, but due to the mixed reception the two trailers that have been released so far seem to be getting, I'm not so sure about that anymore...
If it's meh-ok I see it topping out at $800M, but if it's good to great, who knows?
Nah. RT is literally just the percentage of critics who thought it was worth seeing.
A rotten is a "don't waste your time." A fresh can be anything from "everyone should see this" to "worth it for hardcore fans, everyone else wait for a rental".
A film could be 99% fresh with a 6.5 average rating or 99% fresh with a 9.5 average rating.
You need both to understand whether the movie is good or not.
That final duel in Aquaman was forgettable as the movie. It was fun watching it but I'm definitely putting it on a Thor 1 or maybe even Thor 2 level. I enjoyed it while watching it but don't think I'll ever watch it again
I'm not into musicals but it was amazing people expecting Mary Poppins to have a blockbuster opening when musicals rarely have large openings. It's the amazing legs that give them strong box office numbers
Oh yeah. I mean what's weird about it is that I don't have an attachment to TF from the old cartoons (which was a hook for some of the original Bay audience) and I never got into the Bay movies-- so it's always been easy to ignore these. And suddenly there's one that sounds legitimately good, apart from any nostalgia for the series. I may actually watch this after having zero interesting in TF forever.
