I think it is trending upward. Convince me i should see it. I was pretty meh on the first two. Didn't hate them, but didn't like em much either.

I started keeping track when it was at 6.5, then got excited when it bumped up to 6.8, then caved and read spoilers when it dipped back down to 6.7, and now it's at 6.9. With all the trolls giving it a 1/10 review, if this ends up above 7.0 at 100,000 votes it's a good movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you remove a bunch of the outliers (down to may 2%?), the real arithmetic weighted average is closer to 7.3. So about the same as the other two movies.

So are the 18% of 10's an outlier or naw? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably genuine from a lot of them. I have since changed my rating of TLJ to 8/10. All I know is that people are less likely to irrationally defend something they don't like and gave a fair chance than people are to crap on something they didn't give a fair chance. The movie is realistically a 7.0/10. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The movie is realistically a 7.0/10. I don't disagree. With everything available to us right now it seems in that 6.5-7 area. However, something I've seen a ton lately is 10/10's on IMDB and 5 stars on RT audience and then the actual description is along the lines of "I don't get the hate, it's pretty good" or "It's not that bad". That's not a 10/10, that's shilling. I genuinely don't know if that's the case for RoS but that's literally every good review for Black Christmas.

sunnygsm Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) People say RT scores are worthless then go on to quibble about 0.1 difference on IMDB... Just go watch the film (or don't).

MOSteelers56 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I'll probably see it in theaters but I'll wait a bit. I don't play crowded movie theaters. Stupid Aurora.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not super excited about it, and knowing this score will probably drop over the next few weeks confirms it. I have Disney plus. I can wait until it hits that. Do you like Star wars? Was it part of your early movie going experiences? Then go. It's like a 2 hour and under $10 investment. Then decode for yourself. I enjoyed it. Will probably see it a couple more times before it goes into hibernation before home release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're implying that just because its a Star Wars movie that it will be a good experience for him. Not True. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not True. I didn't say that. I said if you have enjoyed them, go see it and decide for yourself, instead of having to be convinced to give it a try. You either want to or you don't. If you have to be convinced, you really didn't want to anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBURGE Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 This movie may be rated the same as the previous two but I liked it a lot more. It does a lot of things that I care about well. Pacing is a mess, there are some moments that are not great, but as a whole it was a very enjoyable movie. Recommend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The movie is realistically a 7.0/10. TLJ was weird. I left the theater thinking "I think I liked that". Then I saw it again, and liked it less. I have seen it twice since it left theaters so 4 total and I just don't like it much at all anymore, especially last week when I ran through the series I feel as a standalone movie, the cinematography etc was great, but I didn't like it as a Star Wars movie Edited December 20, 2019 by JBURGE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was ok with Luke becoming what he was, but I really didn't like Hamill's portrayal of it. We all know he hated it and it seemed like he wasn't invested. I cringe at some of his moments in TLJ, but his last few scenes are great. Yoda honestly had the best moment in that movie for me, by far.
