I'm not saying anything against the movie! (About its quality or chances of being a financial success.) Just that I didn't think Burr's review was that positive.
Strong like an Amazon.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But it was more positive than negative, and I'm just sticking by my point that most of the reviews so far have been that.

I am not arguing against your point.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
This conversation is about to become a Monty Python sketch, isn't it?

I think we're past that point by now.
And, Hayden, IO9 didn't gush or hate on Source Code, Limitless, or Paul, from a cursory glance. Although I think they were positive about all of them.

Hey. New board.
EW thought Thor was kind of funny and kind of pretty. Or something. Metacritic has a 58 (I still prefer that over rottentomatoes, since it lets medium-positive reviews only be medium-positive) which is worse than Fast Five (67)and almost exactly the same as Iron Man II (57).
I will see both Fast Five and Thor.
Metacritic and EW did convince me not to see Something Borrowed (35, D+), though.

Hey. New board.
I enjoyed the book well enough, and like romantic comedies when they're actually good. This one could have been good. It apparently isn't.

Metacritic and EW did convince me not to see Something Borrowed (35, D+), though.The trailers seemed predictable enough that I feel little need to actually watch the rest of the movie.
