You were mocking someone with 42 years of criminal analysis as not being as credible on if Joker got the mental instability theme right I count on it. Meanwhile, Rotten Tomatoes actually posts some of the Audience Score contributor comments from 'verified audience' contributors. For all the 5 star comments, there are an excessive amount of 1-3 star comments that would drastically throw off the average Audience Score rating. RT Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker audience comments And those are verified ticket holders. It goes on and on about how horrible the movie was. You know - 86% positive. Ok, but if you don't show just the bad user reviews on a page and actually show a random complete RT page ROS audience scores, it generally reads like this one: The percentage of this page is about 75%. Then if you keep scrolling through the audience score pages, the high scores definitely outweigh the 1 and 2 star user reviews. Without looking at every audience score myself, an 86% isn't out of the question. Now, deliberate manipulation of this score isn't out of the question either. I personally thought ROS was fine. At least it finished the story that JJ Abrams had set up in Force Awakens. That's what I wanted to see, not the deconstructionist out-of-left field story we got in Last Jedi.

Leading Neurocriminologist Considers Joker “a Great Educational Tool” DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINOLOGY - Adrian Raine He's actually a published author and article contributor over those 42 years. How close-minded could someone be when the person is an actual recognized expert in his field. Seriously! I'm sorry, I didn't realize that you are the "expert" criminologist. I didn't mean to disrespect you... Seriously, though, nobody worth their salt is using Joker as an educational tool in criminology.

The two main reasons I lost interest were because at first I heard rumors that may be an homages piece to Kirby (which it’s not from what I hear now) and second it seemed to have been sort of politicized which I hope it isn’t. I don’t want to get a lecture like at the end of FATWS. I'd say - go see it. You can't let critics, newsprint or digital, influence or ruin your desire to see a film you're curious about. It can be difficult when there is a lot of info grinding against your thoughts and feelings about the show you want to experience. If it sucks, well then - you can at least decide that for yourself. But enjoy it or dislike it on your own accord! I'm going to watch this one. Not sure when, but I'll check it out. @therealsilvermane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even as a big comic fan, the Eternals have just never been on my list of 'must-read' stuff. I'm curious about the movie & I like the idea of the Celestials, but this show won't be first-day viewing for me. jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted November 4, 2021 Author Share Posted November 4, 2021 Quote Marvel’s Eternals will not hit cinema screens in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait or Qatar, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. The all-star superhero film, which was due for release across the Gulf region on Nov. 11, is understood to have been met with a series of edit requests by the local censors, edits that THR has heard Disney were not willing to make. They must have assumed of being China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantastic_four Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I'm greatly looking forward to this film, yet even I'm now considering just waiting for it to show up on Disney Plus due to the reviews. But we don't yet know when it release there, do we? Maybe it's about two months after release like Shang-Chi was, or maybe it isn't--Disney hasn't said as far as I know. I believe they did announce the Shang-Chi Disney Plus release date prior to that film hitting theaters, but I haven't been able to find that they did that for Eternals. So maybe it his by Christmas, or maybe in January--or maybe long after that as films traditionally have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
