OT: TV and Movies (with spoilers)

[hege53190]

The wider the gap between critic and audience score, the better the movie.

The Last Jedi, Hulk, Antz, King Kong, The War of the Worlds and SpyKids have some of the biggest gaps of all-time. Critics loved those movies. Audiences hated them.

Who is right?

For some reason I don't think any of those were to smart for general audiences.

Never saw it, like, like, like, like, never saw it.

These are the criteria I would expect to fit my needs.

You agree with the 93% fresh rating for Antz? 84%for King Kong? 75% for War of the Worlds (Tom Cruise)?

The Wider the gap the better the movie is what you said. These 6 movies are on your Mount Rushmore of Cinema?

Just to let you know. Spoiler alert. Hulk 2003 sucked.

I thought Antz was good, yes. And I liked War of the Worlds quite a bit too. Is that the Ed Norton hulk?

Mount Rushmore, no. Enjoyable? Yeah.

Edit: Also, this is a rule of thumb, not some hardfast rule. My main point is that for me, the public's opinion is garbage compared to critics' opinions. Those tend to be the movies I enjoy.

But it was directed by Ang Lee!!!

This is a meaningless question. A 93% on RT doesn't mean it's a 93/100, but a lot of people treat it as that and advertisers are more than happy to ignore people's ignorance on this point. If you rate a movie 6/10 then you could technically "agree" with a 93% tomatometer. "Antz" has an average rating of 7.65/10.

"The bigger the gap the better the movie" That would technically mean that the Biggest gaps are the best movies in your opinion.

If you haven't seen Hulk 2003 you should really watch it. The critics say it is great. Seriously watch it. It won't be a waste of 2 hours of your life at all.

War of the Worlds was good. Many people didn't like it because:

A) For a summer blockbuster named "War of the Worlds" with Cruise and Spielberg, people expected more 'splosions.
B) They didn't like 1/4 of the movie taking place in a basement with a creepy Tim Robbins.
C) They didn't like the aliens dying from something they would've died from anyway no matter what the humans did.

This is such a great scene:

Watch on YouTube

Ok.

You're awfully upset about this.

You saw my qualifier about hardfast rules right?

Anyone see ‘Prospect’ with Sophie Thatcher and Pedro Pascal? Just finished it. Hero’s journey. Great morality tale. Kind of sci-fi Deadwood dialogue. .99 on iTunes right now. 3.8364/4 from me.

Not upset.

Just kind of funny people make statements and don't really understand what they are saying. Then you clarify for them what "the bigger the gap the better the movie" really means and list the junk that audiences panned and Critics loved and it is " well it is not a hard and fast rule".

I mean someone indicated that a great critic review and a poor audience review meant that the audience just couldn't understand the film. What about Hulk 2003, King Kong or Antz was that difficult to understand? They were just middling to poor movies that critics loved.

I loved King Kong.

i have had HBO for close to ten years now- somehow i never came across deadwood. well anyways i watched an episode- and pretty much addicted. i am on season 3 already.

[ReasonablySober]

Yea what was wrong with King Kong?

[Mags FTW]

Yea what was wrong with King Kong?

I thought it was OK. It got blowback because it got a lot of hype and failed to live up to it. It's also 3 hours long.

Now that you mention it, yea, I did fall asleep in the theater for a bit.

I thought Skull Island was a much better take on King Kong. Peter Jackson's movie was 3 hours of boring, hot garbage. Now that I think of it, outside of the original LoTR movies and the Lovely Bones, I'm struggling to think of any other good Peter Jackson movies.

Also, War of the Worlds was awesome. Nobody does aliens like Spielberg.

[ReasonablySober]

Peter Jackson movies are my cure for insomnia. Never made it through a LotR in my life.

Amen.

Same. I always knew it was good I just never got around to watching it. I had no idea it was based on real people.

[HaroldinGMinor]

I think a better measure of RT is movies where the audience loved it and critics hated it. Typically they are movies enjoyed by 12 year olds (i.e. Venom, Glass), movies enjoyed by old people who like feel good stories (i.e. The Upside), or movies enjoyed by morons (i.e. anything with Kevin James).

[FrieAaron]

Jackson's Kong is a good movie. Definitely overlong but some great moments in it.
