Fantastic flick or a flop? Using the Rotten Tomatoes reviews, let's see how summer blockbusters have done so far...
It's interesting to me how different critics react to movies than non-critics. A lot of movies I've sincerely enjoyed and appreciated have been rated kind of "meh" on RT, which can be seen by the general score vs. % who liked it. In the end, I think there's a certain element of
Superman: Man of Steel 56%
World War Z 67%
The Lone Ranger 26%
Monsters University 78%
White House Down 48%
Kevin Hart's comedy show was rated higher and made more money than Man of Steel: ouch. I'm sure it didn't cost as much to produce, either.
Maybe critic taste doesn't equal a good movie. After all, not everyone can handle brilliant, artfully does films. Some people are a bit more simple minded and like their movies that way perhaps.
What makes a truly great movie? Helicopter cinematography and big budgets, or a simple, but thought provoking message? Does a movie having "art" really mean anything anymore? Is it completely based on the audience's reaction and reception, or maybe some movies were just before their time? Discussion is welcome...
