My guess is that the critics in both San Diego and Chicago will pan the movie, as they do with most films like this. I use these two cities as examples because I'm familiar with their critics...

And the downfall begins.....it is now down to 67% and still with no "top critics" scores. Oh well, I'm still gonna watch it like 3 times and I'm gonna love it.

Cannot help but wince at back-handed compliments like this one--^ Can't a film just be a film without being slammed for it's genre or content? If it sucks then fine, but if it's good despite its genre let this be the flagship of its meaning rather than praising it for being good despite the source material. My two pennies.

In reality reviews really only work when you're on the fence. If you're dyed in the wool prepped nothing in the world is going to stop you from going to see a movie, regardless of how terrible Siskel says it is. So, I see sites like RT and the various Joe reviews already seeing 'print' as nothing but icing. In fact I could care less if RT's rating for Joe drops to zero before Friday. It won't influence my desire to see it one bit. Last edited by Stygian; 03-25-2013 at 08:00 PM.. |

I stopped listening to critics in the late 80s/early 90s, when they slammed BATMAN and TMNT for being "too dark and gritty ".lol

You are completely right, the critics should review/score movies based on the type of movie it is. A serious drama or love story should get praised or torn apart based on its story and acting but a movie like Retaliation or The Avengers or The Expendables or any other action flick should be praised or torn apart based on its action, special effects and/or fun, comedy relief factors. This is why, even though i do look at and read critics reviews, mostly just for fun or out of curiosity, 99% of the time it doesn't factor into my decision on whether or not I end up seeing a movie. Usually I decide if I want to watch a movie or not based on watching trailers, clips and commercials and if I'm really undecided on seeing a movie, then I will put the reviews into consideration or I will just wait for blu ray.

Not that it really matters but its at 44% now. It kind of sucks to see it at that.

As I predicted, the guy from Chicago didn't give it a very favorable review... This guy is so pretentious it's not even funny. If the movie makes money and/or has popular interest, he usually pans it.

I think most of these critics go into a gijoe movie with preconceived notions and don't even give it a chance.

I don't care what its based on, there job is to review all movies. Obviously a action movie wont be Oscar worthy, most of the time.
