Not about TFA, ya don't.

Yeah, Into Darkness is to far to overrated.

WAIT
IS STAR TREK RATED BETTER THAN TFA
What the hell
One might say that score is grossly undeserved.

Awfully high scoring
No reason, nobody cares. In the next thread where we rate a high anticipated movie which is rated good, nobody will care.7.6/10 is about right. Maybe a little too high for me. It's better than average, but not great.
EDIT: Man, these threads really need to have an explanation of RT % vs average score at the top of every page.
How the hell did into darkness score that well. Wow.![]()

Into Darkness was awesome, though
Once again, rotten tomato scoring DOES NOT indicate HOW good a movie is.
Jesus Christ, it's not that hard to comprehend
A couple friends of mine told me they saw it and liked it. They said its better than Avengers 2, IM 2/3, Thor 1/2 and MoS, but not as good as Cap 2, IM, and TDK.
They aren't big fans of Snyder's Superman but like Batman and WW in this movie.
We talked about this Superman and came to the conclusion that Papa Kent instilled such a mistrust of people ( stupid death from not wanting Clark to show his powers) in him that Clark will always be a flawed Superman unless he gets over that mistrust.
I liked it as well.Into Darkness was awesome, though

Why should that be surprising?
Reminder: Snyder was one of (if not the) first directors to talk to Lucasfilm about doing a spinoff.
Search your feelings, Spock, you know it to be trueEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHhhhhh.....
RighteousI liked it as well.
Do you really think people would post this when BvS would have gotten an RT-Score from 90%?
I dont accuse you of having a agenda, please believe me that, but I honestly dont believe that. So it doesnt matter.
That Chaw review almost made me want to see it more, honestly. I'm always fascinated by those off-the rails entries in a director's filmography, where they seem to let all the crazy monsters in their head go flying out onto the screen with no real regard for the viewer. Chaw namedropped Temple of Doom, and that's part of why I like that movie so much - it feels personal and revealing in a way I'm not sure Spielberg's ever been all that comfortable with. And he probably shouldn't. There's some weird, weird, ugly shit in that movie. It's part of Batman Returns' appeal, as well. That's one fucked-up, confused as hell Batman movie, but it's eminently rewatchable because Tim Burton is just using the character to go all manner of strange mental location, and that's not a thing these sorts of blockbusters tend to do. Avatar also did this to some degree, just let Cameron wallow in his crazy creative fetishes with no real checks and balances in place. And apparently, that's what's happened with Batman v Superman. We all thought Sucker Punch was that film for Snyder, but apparently that was just the warmup.
I don't know that I'm going to like this movie. It doesn't seem like I'm going to, based on what it's doing, and why it's doing it. But damned if I'm not gonna take my shot to experience Snyder's going over the cliff in a rail car while he chases the ghost of Watchmen.

I'd say it feels like certain fans are the ones who think superhero movies should be pigeonholed into "all comedy" or "all seriousness."
Nolan's trilogy was dark and grounded and widely acclaimed. Winter Soldier is the most grounded and serious of the MCU movies and is one of the most highly acclaimed of Marvel's movies. The problem is not dark superhero movies, the problem is assuming that making something dark and serious means having to suck all the fun and joy out of it -- which seems to be mainly a Snyder issue than anything else. There are plenty of other superhero directors (Nolan, Singer, the Russos) who know how to balance drama with levity in the right amounts in this genre.
I feel the exact same way, except for one thing: the movie might be honest, but it's also apparently mindnumbingly boring.
You're absolutely right, although one could argue that the Nolan films, especially The Dark Knight, was highly regarded more because it was tried to be a crime drama instead of a superhero movie. I think the balance was much easier to strike when the Nolan Bats movies were the most grounded (read: when they stripped off as much of the "superhero"-ness of the movies as possible). Incidentally, Dark Knight Rises lost the plot a bit in being far less grounded that resulted in just weird shit. And Winter Soldier being more serious worked in its favor as well (though it did have some quippy jokes which are always fair game, superhero movies don't have to be binary as either "comedy" or "super-serious").
Again, not to defend BvS. It sounds like the movie failed in way more ways than simply its tone, but I dunno. It seems to me like movie critics are far more eager to point out a superhero having no humor as a negative, than they are to point out when a movie just goes off the rails with over the top the comedy.

And this of course. Trainwrecks are fun to watch

I think you misunderstood me--that gif is more of a "shit, you're right" post.

Maybe dumb question. But I've never seen a movie in 3D in theaters. How is it? Don't want it to take away from my experience. See a early listing for RealD 3D on Friday.
Into Darkness isn't even that bad. If I ranked all of the Star Trek movies it would be in the upper half, but Trek fans have super rose tinted glasses about the originals.

It certainly wasn't the best Trek, but I quite enjoyed it. The hate is mostly online I find. Plot was meh, but the characters were great just like in the 2009 reboot.

People are just salty they used Khan.
I'm.. ok with it? I've always liked his brand of safe.So who would be up for JJ Abrams helming the DCCU? It'll be safe, mainstream, popular, and probably soulless, but the reviews will be great!

This review is basically the epitome of the tone-critiquing that people are complaining about:
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/25/movies/review-batman-v-superman-dawn-of-justice-when-super-friends-fight.html?ribbon-ad-idx=2&rref=movies&module=ArrowsNav&contentCollection=Movies&action=swipe®ion=FixedLeft&pgtype=article
Implicit in some of these reviews is the idea that films in the genre aren't allowed to take themselves seriously.
I'd be okay with this. I think he'd at least cling onto familiar aspects of the characters and stories that would leave most fans feeling satisfied.So who would be up for JJ Abrams helming the DCCU? It'll be safe, mainstream, popular, and probably soulless, but the reviews will be great!

Nolan's Batman movies are crime thrillers that just happen to use Batman, they really aren't Batman movies except for the gadgets.
