fantastic_four Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 The Metacritic score so far is putting it around the Ant-Man and Black Widow level of quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantastic_four Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) RT scores are starting to roll in. It's at 84% on 56 reviews. The early ones are always the highest, so it'll probably end up somewhere in the mid-to-high 70% range, which would mark it as an average MCU film most of which are very entertaining but not necessarily memorable or worth multiple viewings. DEFINITELY going to end up being considered by critics to be not as good as the first one. Ah well, still sounds pretty good and I'm looking forward to it. I always hope for greatness but don't necessarily expect it. Edited May 3, 2022 by fantastic_four Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyTheAbyss Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I challenge anybody to find a review without the words "it's a Sam Raimi movie" in it. ***Doesn't have to be verbatim awakeintheashes, Sauce Dog and Bosco685 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Even though it is a Doc movie, it shouldn't be compared to the first one any more than to Captain Marvel etc. Different director, different purpose in the MCU scheme, et cetera et cetera. Lots of variant character deaths coming methinks. I bet they kill EVERY variant we see in the movie. That way they don't have to worry about those characters, just kill them all including Captain Carter. They can pull them in again from the multiverse anytime they want anyway, so kill kill kill is what I smell cooking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a DIS film, after all, and I can't see them allowing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimik Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) So, if the critics hate this film, does it matter any more? It sounds like the issue for some is that they were only allowed to go half Raimi by the studio, not full Raimi, and for others the issue is that it did not follow the standard simple and glib Marvel formula. That being said, this one may end up like IM 3, which had the highest box office gross out of the three movies by a longshot.

That's not the impression I'm getting. Not every movie will get a 90/100. If it is around a 70 or an 80 (out of 100) from the "critics"...the general audience will still come to see it in droves. ***But I agree with the IM3 possible parallels...and Venom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 7. something, it's a solid offering. and your right, if the critic's put it there, it's dead-cert 8.0+ for us Joe public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broke as a Joke Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Reviews are all over the place on this one. I have hope though because I read more than a few that say "not for children". That doesn't sound like the MCU cookie cutter theme. theCapraAegagrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze_rules Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) The fact that it is Sam Raimi, and seems to have some resemblance to the evil dead and zombie universe tells me I'll probably like it even more than Spider-Man's latest. This regardless of the critic reviews - hope I am right on this one. I don't want a kid movie, I want the dark and frightening version. Some of the best parts of Spider-Man for me were the Dr. Strange scenes (the crypt, weird beasts in the fridge, mirror universe, etc).

As that is the main complaint with some MCU films - too cookie cutter. But odd then the Scott Derrickson fallout happened because that is what he wanted to begin with. A Doctor Strange horror story that honored the 70s material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
