Critics Shrug Off ‘Battleship’ In Early Reviews
Tomorrow features the domestic launch of the board game-spawned blockbuster known as Battleship. This is an effort from Friday Night Light’s Peter Berg who recruited an ensemble cast in the form of Liam Neeson, Taylor Kitsch, Brooklyn Decker, Rihanna, and Alexander Skarsgard in the hopes that it would translate into box office gold for this [...]
Critics React to Sacha Baron Cohen’s “The Dictator”
This week brings with it the release of yet another Sacha Baron Cohen-spawned comedy. While this one is a bit more scripted than his previous satirical stabs, it appears to have lost nothing as critics are very keen on the feature in early reviews. In fact, the movie is being seen as redemption for the [...]
Critics React to Tim Burton’s “Dark Shadows”
The big story of the coming weekend will likely be the continued box office strength of The Avengers; however, there is new movie in town called Dark Shadows that will feature yet another pairing of Tim Burton and Johnny Depp. This time around, Captain Jack Sparrow is a vampire who is locked away for centuries [...]
Critics Find “The Five-Year Engagement” Funny, But Too Long
The Five-Year Engagement opened in theaters nationwide today, and for the most part reviews are generally positive. While this is far from the quality of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Nicholas Stoller and Jason Segel seem to have crafted a moderately funny romantic comedy that provides an original and honest take on engagements that fans of the [...]
Movie Critics Love “The Avengers” and Joss Whedon in First Reviews
Some early reviews are starting to trickle out for Marvel’s The Avengers, and they are overwhelmingly positive. After 17 reactions, not a single one of them is negative on Rotten Tomatoes as the movie sports a 100% rating as of this post. While only one of the critics weighing in at the moment is considered [...]
Critics: “American Reunion” Is More of the Same
American Reunion hit theaters earlier today, and critics are already weighing in on whether they think the series should have been revisited. The short answer is “no.” Problems with the movie range from its dirty-for-the-sake-of-dirty attitude about humor to its reuse of prior gags in the franchise. Overall, the movie is getting quite a bit [...]
Critics Weigh in on “The Hunger Games”
It is not often that hype is matched with review scores. Usually when a mainstream sensation like The Hunger Games comes out, there exists a perceived inevitability that the feature will rest on its fan base and just ‘get it done.’ It certainly appears that the Gary Ross-directed film exceeded every expectation resulting in an [...]
Critics Love “21 Jump Street,” But Will It Matter
Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum have noticeably been cheerier than usual during the promotional rounds for their joint effort, and who could blame them? After 59 reviews for 21 Jump Street, only eight of them are listed as rotten. The comedy retread of the classic television show is currently rocking an 86% on Rotten Tomatoes [...]
Should You See “John Carter”?
In a nut shell, the answer is an emphatic “maybe.” It all depends on who you are as a person. If you love sci-fi movies, then John Carter is a pretty decent offering for you. If you hate nerd lore, then the movie is going to be an awful trip to the theater because the [...]
“John Carter” Review Scores Dropping Fast; Film On Track for $30 Million Opening Weekend
When first reported about a week ago after some 20 reviews had been processed by Rotten Tomatoes, the critics seemingly loved John Carter; however, the latest reviews absolutely maul the Andrew Stanton-directed sci-fi blockbuster. What was once a 70% Fresh rating has now turned into a 47% Rotten rating. The good news is audience scores [...]
