| Veknoid_Outcast said: I'm looking forward to it after the most recent theatrical trailer, but Rotten Tomatoes might not be the best barometer. The "fresh" to "rotten" ratio can artificially inflate the score. For example, a movie that receives all 75s would earn a 100% "fresh" rating, even if none of the critics gave it a 100. The average rating looks like 7.8, and that's the more important number in my mind. In any event, I'll be seeing it next weekend :) |
I think both freshness and overall rating are useful. A movie coud be really hit and miss and have a 50% freshness, but a 6.5 rating because the people who did enjoy the movie ended up loving it, but a movie with a 95% freshness and a 6.5 means that although the movie isn't groundbreaking it is generally enjoyed by everyone. So with a 95% fresh and a 7.8 edge is proving to be quite a good movie. All the reviews from people I've read say it's one of the best summer block busters they've ever seen.
I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.
