Blade Runner Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) Sounds like a 60% on RT. Hopefully the movie is a huge success. I don't want another mega cultural war over minorities not being a box office draw. Pleas, God. Edited May 9, 2023 by Blade Runner

Considering we've just had pages and pages of outright raves, there was absolutely no need for you to come in here and embarrass yourself like this. We get it, you want the film to fail. Sadly for you, the reviews and early box office tracking seem to be showing the direct opposite. Get on board or get out of the way.
Delirious Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 im so scared for the reviews and performance. i have a feeling it's gonna be luckwarm

But as you said...rave reviews. Edited May 9, 2023 by vale9001
Gossip_Boy Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 I’m leaning towards an Aladdin scenario, mid critical reaction, but a big crowd pleaser leading to box office glory. Most of these movies (catered towards kids/families) are critic proof anyway. As long as as the general audience loves it (they will), it’ll be big. I remember a few weeks ago people were all gloom and doom over Mario’s negative critical reception and it ended up being absolutely massive. Halle is getting nothing but praise tho which is what I care about, personally. I knew she would kill it.

So you do believe some of the reactions then? I guess it's just the ones that support your narrative. Shocker.
est. in 90s Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 The way the same users who've been underestimating/hating on this film from the beginning ran in here to move the goalposts yet again. First, it would get panned by critics, that failed. Then it would bomb, only for it to be revealed to be tracking to be the biggest Memorial Day weekend ever It's okay to admit you were wrong about predicting the WORST of the worse about this film. To continue downplaying it at every turn atp is just...
Arcadius Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 Social media reactions are often difficult to trust. But, hopefully it sounds like it’ll have a tomato score.
Aethereal Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 The original TLM was my favorite Disney movie. But now that I am grown up I can see that Ariel was a complete idiot. Her father was totally at right for wanting to stop her interactions with humans and the above world especially at age of 16. And not only did she sell her voice and leave her family for just a man she barely knew about but also risked the whole ocean. In this remake they are changing this though.

dman4life Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 Some users are determined for this movie to fail, I truly wonder why

Ariel is nothing but a half fish skank who left her family for some common diq. Easily the worst princess. Halle is amazing though I am a fan of hers so that's why I will watch the movie.
Price of Fame Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 sounds like the GP will like it while the purists/cynical/film twitter types will hate it so basically exactly as expected

Ariel wanted to be a human long before she met Eric. I swear people just completely forget the actual narrative of the film and get swept up in these social media think pieces.
V$. Posted May 9, 2023 Author Posted May 9, 2023 Even those who didn’t love it still had positive things to say!

I swear people just completely forget the actual narrative of the film and get swept up in these social media think pieces. Exactly. She does fall in love with the Prince a little too hard over him being basically being a hot human. I wish they invested a little time in him being a good person too. He does risk his life to save his dog but still wanted a little more there to justify her falling so hard.
Desire Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 Yas at the acclaim I knew everything would go the right way. -- There is no need to include extra scenes to show Ariel's obsession with the above world. She literally has an entire cavern full of human items
Pandora30012 Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 Notice how none of the reviews mentions the movie being dark or dull. What I like most about this movie is how it taught people the concept of a promo rollout. And that underwater caves are dark at night.
Thinking Of You Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) There’s too much acclaim on social media to keep up. But even the very few mixed reviews, they are still praising Halle’s performance to the high heavens. In conclusion, she won and racists lost. Edited May 9, 2023 by Thinking Of You
