Date: April 28th, 2019 6:13 AM Author: cerebral pearly kitty cat school Rotten Tomatoes only measures what percentage of reviewers thought the movie was competent. A movie universally agreed to be a C+ movie would get 100%.
Metacritic is better. It accounts for the strength of the evaluation. There, Endgame gets a 77.

Date: April 28th, 2019 9:05 AM Author: Avocado temple I think a big difference between now and 25 years ago isn’t so much that reviewers are more generous ( it i’m sure that’s part of it) but that these action movies are much more competently made. I haven’t seen an Avengers movie but i’m willing to bet they’re fairly well acted, given the cast, well directed for what it is and that the effects and technical aspects are all top notch. Look at an equivalent movie from the 90s and you’ll probably see a genuinely bad film (think the Schumacher Batmans, Blade movies etc...)

Date: April 28th, 2019 12:06 PM Author: Wonderful geriatric location community account In some sense you are right in they they only make like 10 movies now vs hundreds and they all have to be “winners” so they spend huge amounts of money on them. You end up with a lot fewer corny awful movies like Suburban Commando. What you lose is any type of creativity or “risks” - everything is safe processed cheese for the masses.
A good comparison would be Batman (1989). If you watch it now, the special effects and fight scenes seem dated, and overall the movie feels “old” compared to something like Avengers. But Batman had a historically great acting performance, relied on its story and dialogue and also made you think. You rooted for the bad guy even though he was evil, and it made you laugh. The stunts were more complicated so an adult would appreciate them more. For example the fugitive with the guy jumping in the waterfall, which academically is much more interesting than any CGI action scene in black panther, but visually is much more basic of an experience. Falling Down is another good example of this. The downside of this is that there were many more forgettable, painful awful movies like suburban commando or the ninja turtles movies, and today you are much more likely to see a “good” movie than a “bad” one, which of course is all most people want anymore. The folks who want though provoking stuff can specialize and watch Netflix and HBO or whatever in ways not possible in 1989. It’s rare that a major movie can compete on this level - there will be blood, mad max and Annihilation are some exceptions that I thought were actually pretty good, but they won’t make money like avengers.
So I agree with you in some sense that the movies today serve the current client base better than the 1989 movies would, and critics (beyond all being captured by GC) have less of a function to serve vs the 1980s and 90s when there was a lot more variety and of course less ways to check online. |

Date: April 28th, 2019 7:55 PM Author: Avocado temple Right, and with regard to RT, specifically, the floor on these monster budget action movies has been moved up just high enough to get a vaguely, barely positive review that aggregates as “fresh.”
That Batman franchise is a great example because you have the Burton films that were really interesting and would never get made today (even if he directed them) and then you have something like Batman and Robin that was fairly horrible. You’re not going to get either end of that spectrum with a superhero movie now. |

Date: May 2nd, 2019 2:30 PM Author: walnut internal respiration actually not that bad an article. it agrees that the GRRLPOWER scene in Endgame, and capeshit at large, is empty, unfulfilling tokenism:
"the scene immediately revealed itself as the apotheosis of the studio’s expectation that fans of female superheroes be satisfied with scraps, while courting woke points for its supposed forward thinking. ... The presupposition that we’re supposed to salute fifth-billed characters like Mantis and Pepper Potts just for showing up demonstrates how deep Marvel had to dig to come up with these ostensible triumphs of feminism. ... symptomatic of its overall treatment of female characters as walking applause lines first and people (or space aliens) second. The fans are ready to clap for their female favorites, but Marvel should try giving them something to cheer for first." |
