fantastic_four Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 The reviews on this are creeping in at a weirdly slow rate. RT still only has 65 of them, and the scoring is fluctuating so wildly I have no idea where it will end up. Yesterday morning it was 31%, last night it was 58%, and right now it's 42%. Metacritic only has 10 reviews. Why the heck would reviews be coming in so slowly for this film? Some sort of post-pandemic reviewer slowness? Before Covid reviewers were ready with their reviews on an embargo lift date en masse, but that doesn't seem to be the case for this film. The reviews on "Old" are coming in similarly slowly, so it may be a problem across the board. Either way this film is looking to have at best mixed reviews, but once they're all in it could be a stinker like the last two GI Joe films.

I don't know if it is her voice or her inflection when she talks but to me it is like finger nails on a chalk board and I just cannot spend more than 30 seconds listening to her. bentbryan and Bosco685 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bentbryan Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 As an action-movie..it’s ok, not great. I really wanted this to be awesome but after seeing the trailers I adjusted my expectations and am glad that I did. I’m surprised this got Larry Hama’s endorsement. This winter he had a post on FB going on about how writers have a responsibility to characters they didn’t create and to be true to them. Well, I won’t spoil anything but they really changed a character in this one. By a lot. Speaking of Hama, he did get a little cameo but it was actually kind of lame. There’s also a credits scene but it’s very early on in the credits. And they also showed the most important part of that scene in the trailers Two out of Five Shurikens.

Because I honestly believe the studios executives think that if you just slap a "nostalgia" name on a movie you can print money. bentbryan and Bosco685 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
