When all reviews are in, expect something like 90% and 8/10 at RT and around 84 at MC.

As per expected.

I'm still seeing 94%/8.3/95%/8.1/84.

Ebert's review is great. I loved how he praised the movie. There is another negative review from About.com but there has been like almost 15 postives to offset that one negative so far this morning.

Some guy from About.com indie film section reviewed it because they somehow believed this was an indie film? Well, he hated it and made it be known a few times that it isn't an indie film.

Pretty stupid

I'm all for reviewers sharing their point of view and in general, haven't commented on the negative reviews ... people are entitled to their opinion but thats like blaming Schindler's List for not having enough toilet humor.

RT just counted Eric D Snider's joke comment about Dark Knight being worst than B&R as a rotten review :lol:

They must have took that down because it isn't there now. It is at 90% now and I am shocked Rex Reed liked it. I figured the old drunk would give it a rotten review. I have been curious to see Slant magazine since they usually are tough to please.

Turan from the LA times gives it a glowing review.
http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/ne ... 2171.story

The major critics so far are loving it.

Woh, that is so snobbish its ridiculous.

These critics complain about how society is so superficial and seeing mindless happy crap and they then complain that the film is a dark pessimistic film and it should be more happy.

I am a neutral person but to me some of these critics are hating it because they just don't like Batman or comic book films.


If Slant gives a positive review you can assume that the even the snobs like it.

Though some of the action sequences will drop your jaw, there’s too much gab between chases and too many generic battles to keep the movie from grinding along instead of flying. A tip for the future: The best tragic heroes don’t spend the movie talking about their own tragedy.

No, that is what separates a character like HellBoy and Don Vito Corleone... :funny: :funny:

Up to 92% with an 8.3 average...very impressive

no new updates from Metacritic (though it should be in the high 80s after updates)

If it can get up to 93% and maintain it's 8.3 average it will be the best reviewed super hero movie ever!
