Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade, Dragonball Evolution, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, both Alien vs. Predator movies, The Avengers, Date Movie, Epic Movie, Disaster Movie, Meet The Spartans, Snakes On A Plane, Eragon, Aeon Flux, and none of the Uwe Boll films were never screened for critics and we all know how they turned out.
I think it’s fitting, why should a bunch of mostly self-righteous so-called critics have the power to sink a film. Personally I think the role or purpose of the film critic is an obsolete dated step in the film marketing process. Why do we need them? They really have nothing to offer but a represented opinion. They have no more credentials than the average film fan. Why do we even care what they think? How did society buy into this bull$hit that we pay people to watch movies & critique them... Everyone on this site could do their jobs…

Last Crusade is in IMO by far the best Indiana Jones movie.

i haven't seen the movie. i will give my opinion on it friday. fact is the script was rushed. there were massive reshoots and editing. it wasn't screened for critics. i don't always go by critics. but i am sick of dumb fun. call me spoiled. as a comic and joe fan. i expected a change after the success of tdk and im. apologists for this film and transformers 2 are the reason why im and tdk are exceptions rather than the rule.

I don't blame them for not wanting to screen it to critics before opening night. The best it could do is receive mixed reviews, and the worst it could do is receive the kind of trashing that Transformers 2 deservedly got. Given all of the rumors and negative buzz around the film in the last couple of months, it really doesn't behoove Paramount to add to that with negative reviews.

Regardless of opinion on this films merits or lack of, the simple facts are that if they did not screen it for critics, it's not a good sign for the box office take, not too many movies are not screened for critics and go on to be huge box office hits spawning sequels. Haven't seen the movie, might next week, I know everyone on this board is a Joe fan, but this movie will not "swim" at the box office if the average moviegoer senses this movie is a bomb, and it's not off to a good start.
As far as rotten tomatoes...no important critic is listed, it's 80% rating might drop like a rock by next week. If the movie is good, word of mouth MIGHT save it, but I wouldn't bet the farm that the non Joe moviegoers are dying to see this movie, I might be wrong, but I might be right. |

The internet can make or break a movie, Paramount would prefer good buzz over bad, I seriously doubt they're happy about not screening this film. Even if critics hated it, only thing worse than a none screening for critics is a movie directed by " Alan Smithee"

Personally, I don't care about spoilers and I am not going to see the movie on opening night.I may wait a week and go see it for a chuckle.My only problem is the movie is not what I grew up with same with the 2 TF movies.Ever sense a kid when GI Joe was reintroduced back in 1982 I was wonder what would a live action Joe movie be like.Now I know.I wish the movie well but I have my reservations.
