Like they did with Suicide Squad? They clearly think they're above criticism and deserve to be the best movie ever. But if they really took their ego out of the equation, they'd understand why their films are bad or mediocre.

Doubtful, the reviews aren't too bad so far actually. Just half way decent.

Oh for Pete's sake...do these people STILL not understand that RT merely compiles reviews and doesn't make them?!

It's more sad that they still don't know that RT merely compiles reviews, it doesn't make any of them. |

It seems the only one silly enough to ponder that is you. Do you have any evidence that this was demanded by DC fans for JL.
No? Then why babble about it? Trolling? Loneliness? Low self esteem?

RT is worthless.

That's what everyone says...until a movie they like gets a good review. RT is like Democracy, if the guy you like wins then it's "The System works!" and if he loses then it's "Democracy doesn't work!" |

RT is like Democracy, if the guy you like wins then it's "The System works!" and if he loses then it's "Democracy doesn't work!" I universally consider it garbage, even when I agree with it. It's a very flawed and ineffective for me. I much prefer reading individual opinions/critiques, rather than a collection of opinions condensed into a single percentage. |

Doubtful, the reviews aren't too bad so far actually. Just half way decent. Calling these reviews halfway decent is generous. Even the good ones are hedging their bets, and I don't know if you're one that would call The Dark World a bad movie or not, (I know I love it) but it gets called that, and you and I have already discussed that JL has a near equal Metacritic review, and looks like it will have a far less RT score. So anybody who has said TDW sucks, now has to put JL in that category. |

And usually when that's the case you can tell in the good reviews that they didn't think it was particularly good. They usually said things like it being mindless fun or something along those lines, but they aren't praising it.
And that's the case here. We can point and say 50% liked it, but if we're being honest, almost zero of those 50% think it was anything special.

Likewise it would then mean that 50% would also not think it was anything awful either. |

But if they really took their ego out of the equation, they'd understand why their films are bad or mediocre. Did DC fans petition to have it shut down? I wouldn't know because Frankly I wouldn't even know where to look for RT ratings other than what's bandied around on here. I prefer to judge a film based on of I enjoy it, not some others view. So based on that, may I assume that your statement that they are bad or mediocre come from the ratings on RT. Because there are films that, according to people on here, are RT rated very highly that I think are bad or mediocre. So for me, I am my own person and have a mind of my own and will give my assessment once I have seen it, as I do with all films. |
