The cock pit recordign is not exactly clear, (note, I don;t think the plane was shot down), I thought there was still some debate as to whether the passengers got through the cockpit doors (who certianly know they tried) but ultitmealy for me that detail does not matter towards whether or not I see the film.

Oh, oh - the third negative review...

So, what could the reason be -- does this reviewer:

a) Never write good reviews
b) Hates freedom/America
c) Loves terrorism
d) All of the above

Yeah, Salon is actually fine. Their top 10 lists the last few years were quite respectable. Slant is really the only one that is so obvious in their intention/motivation (I sometimes confuse the two too since their names are kind of similar). Lee is also an incredibly tough grader, as he seldom gives any film better than a B+, but he isn't targeting specific type of films as Slant does.

Makeshift, I wasn't trying to say that; it's just that I feel like Salon and Slant are just two sources of opinion that seem to hate a lot of movies that the majority of other critics like. It looks like I'm mistaken about Salon, so nevermind.

And Bradley, you can disregard my "review" when I do see it. I probably won't write anything for it anyway.

It's fun to read this thread.

you find a thread concerning 9/11 funny ...

Well, off-topic, but I just want to mention once again how much despise I bear generally against Slant and especially Ed Gonzales, one of the worst critics to see the face of earth.

Agreed, i rate gonzales and medved(is he even a real one?) as the worst film critics out there.Gonzales is the liberal version of medved.

Everyone here is stupid.

This guy has a blog and we are suppose to take his review credible? Especially after he questions what happened on the plane? when we have voice recorders and phone calls between the people on the plane.

No thanks.

Based on the content of his review? d...

The film will receive multiple Oscar nominations. The reviews are simply too good to ignore. Whether it can get the bigger ones will be the question. Among techs, I think Sound or Sound Mixing and Editing look pretty good.

Another interesting thing is that critical success of U93 could be seriously damaging the Oscar prospect of Oliver Stone's WTC, although WTC had the better pedigree of the two and was more geared toward awards to begin with. Now it's very hard for critics to rave about WTC unless it's really really good. The comparison will be inevitable.

Well only 25 reviews are in, out of an eventual 150+. So it's a bit early on that. At the moment it has the same RT rating as akeelah and the bee.

I actually don't believe calls were placed. Now, one might say the amount of people involved in such a cover-up would be too great.

But if you fail to believe the story behind the collapse of the towers or the pentagon attack, then that calls into question everything about that Tuesday, esp the soap opera-ish Flight 93 tale.

Well gee, when most of the user reviews come in, I don't think any of them will be much of a surprise...

Honey, get a clue.. Just because they didn't care for it doesn't mean they hate everything..

When it involves this film?? I suppose so..

And, just because someone does like the film doesn't mean they're biased.

of course, the one thing that we can not measure is 'if' this film ends up experiencing a backlash.

Climbing higher 90% at rotten tomatoes, 28 fresh, 3 rotten, 92% Cotc

and the one rotten in the COTC is not really a rotten (80 at metacritic, 31/2 stars out of 5)

Currently 34 total reviews: 31 fresh, 3 rotton for a 91% RT rating.

92% COTC and a solid overall rating of 8.0/10.

PEACE, Mike.

Rotten Tomatoes ratings alway represent a movie's critical approval, sometimes predict box office results, and are never related to how true the facts are in a movie...

Another update:

42 Reviews Total: 38 Fresh, 4 Rotten

Overall: 90%, 7.9/10 rating

COTC: 94%, 8.1/10 rating

PEACE, Mike.

So, I assume, Slither's good reviews at RT are just as unjustified.

No, Lecter! It's okay with bradley if Slither gets over 80% at RT, because he liked it. It's so not okay if United 93 gets a high score, though, because bradley has made up his mind prior to watching it that it'll suck.
