TDKR Reviews Discussion

Yeah, well the LA TImes did an investigative article last year that basically proved what a lot of us already suspected...the Academy is primarily a bunch of old farts. The average age is over 65 and there's a number of members who have been out of the film industry (aside from voting for the awards...

This probably doesn't mean much to anyone else but I've found that aside from Ebert, Roeper, and a few others the only reviews I really anticipate are those of the two major movie mags (Empire and TotalFilm...and why do we not have any awesome magazines like these in the US?!) and my favorite film s...

That's funny because all the Potter films were very well received by critics and general public alike....ranging from good to spectacular. Maybe you're confused with Twilight... Yes, but they're very generic. Please stop comparing Potter movies to Nolan. Thanks. I don't see how that can be when the...

I know, they would have had to have been directed by like Spielberg, Cameron, or Scorsese for the biased Academy to look past the genre and whatnot. As great as Yates was for the franchise, the lack of a well known director pretty much sealed their fate :roll: No. I'm saying Nolan crafts great film...

How many positive reviews are there yet to be added to RT's score? It really feels like we have had SEVERAL positive reviews in the past few hours that haven't been added yet... Only a fraction will be counted on RT...just depends if they are approved publications. I would guess there's a few that ...

Well, the BFCA (Broadcast Film Critics Association) score just jumped a point to 87 so now both it and RT are displaying the same score. And Metacritic is what...80? For comparison, Inception was able to pull a BP nom with an 86 RT score and a 74 Metascore. The BFCA (love 'em) gave it significantly ...

I did just last summer. The Potter finale had an astounding number of "perfect" reviews, not to mention 100% from top critics. Didn't mean shit though as it was snubbed for any and all major Oscar categories, like always... No offense, but those Harry Pot Head movies never had any chance of getting...

Why doesn't Richie Rope just post his review early? Why in the fuck does he have to wait till Friday to post it? :crazy: I don't know, but I'm anxiously awaiting to hear what he has to say as he's probably the critic I agree with most often and I just love his video reviews...even if they are a bit...
