| windbane said: Toy Story 2 is the best "Disney" sequel, but I don't think it's as good as reviews say. Ratatouille wasn't funny, either. I really enjoyed The Incredibles and Monsters Inc, but I don't think WALL-E is any better than Cars. I guess this will be better when more people see it, but just as a principle, calling a movie perfect is over the top. |
What you are saying leads me to believe that this is a taste issue and you probably think Heat is the greatest movie ever made.
As far as movie reviewers are concerned, yes they are a thousand time better then game reviewers. Why? Because every year tons of perfect scores are given out by individual reviewer, there by not making it some achievement but rather an actual review for the sake of informing.
When Roger Ebert gives a film 4 stars (out of 4) I don’t expect to be seeing an academy award winning film. All it tells me is I should read the review because I might like it. Conversely in the game world a 10 out of 10 from IGN usually clinches the GOTY.
I have seen movies that will get a ton of mediocre reviews and score high on Rotten Tomatoes because they where all still positive. So theoretically you could get 100% there and still only be getting 3 out 4 here or 7 out of 10 type reviews.
Bottom line the movie review industry in run by professional, not by movie fan boys who talk about how cool star wars is or get so excited from seeing things blow up. Unlike game reviewers.
Rotten Tomatoes - system isn't the best but it is usually a good measure, then agian IGN owns them so who knows.
