I think this is the only positive review that is actually ironic. Because Dunkirk is not that type of movie.

Non-linear storytelling aside, it's simple, raw and straight-to-the-point filmmaking. The more unique thing about this film given that it's a Nolan work. What you get on the first view is pretty much all.

Maybe they were one of those guys that got confused and instead of slamming it they found the positive in it lol. Halo Reach.
I definitely disagree, there's so much to catch on a second viewing that you miss on the first viewing because everything passes by so fast.

Both have the same complaint that they didn't get to see Harry Styles tell Joe how the jam toast reminds him of his mom so we care for his character
You get sites like this one and then you ask yourself how the fuck do they get 50k traffic per month. I'm not talking about the quality of content but the site itself. What a puke lol.

I mean I achieved this on Lunch and other websites and in total I got like 600.000 hits in one year. So even if you average that it would be slightly above 50.000 per month. But to have the same amount of views on your own website is way harder than by using popular platforms.
What is Lunch?

I guess another 100 on MC? Lol
It looks like on their website they do have multiple reviews for a lot of movies. Calvin Wilson is the person who gave it 4/4. His review was included on MetaCritic for Valerian (2/4 or 50/100), so it kinda seems like Calvin's review will be the one on MC for Dunkirk as well.

It sure seems Dunkirk might end up with 60 reviews or so on MetaCritic, which is nuts considering the biggest Oscar bait last year landed in the low 50's in review count (Moonlight, La La Land).
You haven't seen the film yet, right??

Aren't you worried that you'll be spoiled and have too many preconceived notions about the film before walking into the theater? :shock:

Only 5 more fresh to get back to 96% I believe. Though I'm sure another rotten is right around the corner. I think 95% is where it'll end. Something like 200/10 with an 8.9 avg.
one more fresh for 96%
There are a couple of more that will be added St Louis Dispatch needs to be added. And There is old RT from the Minneapolis Star Tribune who has not reviewed a film in decade who wrote a review. Since it been a long time I am not sure if his review will get added to RT
Hmm, that does sound strange, what is up with that?

Must've wanted to see the film so much that he/she was like, "Move out of the way, young'uns, I'll review this one".

Yep... dang.
Ah well, it was bound to happen.
What kinda films does Edelstein like? He a good critic or a pretentious a-hole critic? Just wondering haha.
He gave positive reviews to Spider-Man: Homecoming and Valerian, and negative reviews to War for the Planet of the Apes and Dunkirk.

From that, I gather that he is more favorable towards fun blockbusters than serious ones.

So is it pretty safe to say the score *knocks on wood* probably will stay at least 93/94% and 8.5/8.6 avg. rating at this point?
*knocks on wood harder*
I wouldn't jinx it. :P

Oh, well in that case if any Top Critic had to give it poor markings, I'm glad it was him.
Then again maybe that's just my disdain for Marvel/Disney talking :lol:

Rex Reed is back in the critic game, just for Nolan. Interesting. :lol: But what the hell, a 50 is better than the 25 he gave Inception.
