I think we all owe The Marvels an apology…
Audience score ratings for the sequel of a well received film. People are giving a score based on a higher expectation going in compared to the original. The bigger they are the harder they fall sort of thing.
I’m just speculating. And still hopeful I might enjoy it, though I’m not a huge fan of Lady Gaga
CinemaScore also gave these scores:
Catwoman: B The Crow (2024): B-
Madame Web: C+
Batman & Robin: C+
Morbius: C+
Fantastic Four (2015): C-
Borderlands: D+They seem really generous with their scoring
They seem really generous with their scoring
CinemaScore polls audiences and presents that data in the form of an A to F rating. They don’t do subjective ratings or reviews. The score is intended to be a measure of the average audience sentiment to a film.
Yeah, I read that on there; I guess I should have said the audiences they polled are really generous with their scoring
Wow, worse than the first Suicide Squad?
Everyone’s shitting on the movie. I haven’t seen it yet, but damn…
I’ve just seen it. It’s better than the reviews would suggest, but it’s not without flaws or quirks.
If you went into it expecting ‘more of Joker 1’ in terms of a straight, by the numbers sequel, you might very well come out disappointed. And there’s no denying that there’s a lot of singing in it, which inherently puts some people off. But if you’re willing to have an open mind, there’s a lot to love here.
I’ve seen terribly reviewed movies that I loved and well reviewed movies that I’ve hated. At the end of the day, it’s all someone else’s opinion anyway.
That’s surprising. First one was good.
First one was depressing. Awfully depressing. It was poignant and well done but I can’t rewatch it because I have to gear up to be ready for it.
The second one is a musical. I’m not sure anyone is ready for that after the first one.
It’s weird. I watch the first Joker like three times so far. Haven’t seen the second. Now, Requiem for a Dream, that’s a hard watch for me.
Requiem is presented well, but I can’t get past the unrealistic situations they put the characters through, especially near the end.
They both are depressing as fuck. Add in Blow too.
First film was a great film if it were new IP, but a shit joker batman film. The second film was always likely to be shit, because they were always going for abstract and avant garde artistry without a clear connection to the underlying and far stronger story and IP people are expecting. I’m sure it’s a beautiful film and musical, but it’s dog shit attached to joker.
I didn’t even view the first as anything related to Batman. Just a standalone movie to me.
That’s what it was supposed to be, a gritty disconnected story about what a more realistic take on a joker would be, don’t think batman or super heroes was supposed to be in either one, not sure where that commenter is coming from.
It’s a musical?
There are a handful of singing renditions and dressed up numbers with the two main actors.
But why?
Because the staircase scene in the first one was popular. So quadruple down!
