Captain Marvel

[Princess Leia]

Audience Score at RT: Yikes!

Does it surprise you though, the trolls have been waiting to downvote this thing for months.

Meanwhile, I’ve been trying to rate it for like 20 minutes and it’s not letting me

Edit- finally got in, not like my rating matters against the trolls here. This is disgusting.

Apples to Oranges but how would you rate it against Wonder Woman?

Speaking of Wonder Woman that currently has an 88% on RT.

I’m going to say something now, some maybe won’t like it, but it’s the truth. Brie flubbed up when she used the words and tone she did to get her point across. Badly. If she didn’t do something like that to start such a controversy this attack on the movie either wouldn’t be happening or just wouldn’t be as big and the movie would’ve been treated like Wonder Woman was. As just another movie.

That’s the thing, I really don’t like comparing them. They’re both period pieces that star women, but while WW ended up having a strong focus on a romance (that I definitely cried over), CM is more about celebrating friendships. The leads aren’t even that similar despite their warrior trainings- Diana is sweet and naive, while Carol is a smart-aleck but pretty kind to almost everyone she meets on Earth, despite having her memory wiped. Okay, they’re both fish out of water, but they’re very different women.

That said, I think the third act of CM is stronger than WW’s third act.

I still need to see WW.

I really like it, but the third act didn’t exactly fit the rest of the movie.

Was going to cut out work early today to go see it (with a baby, one parent goes alone, the other takes the other kid), but boss ruined those plans. Might try a late showing tonight. Excited to see it.

Wonder Woman has that DC dark feel... Captain Marvel has the Guardians of the Galaxy pop-culture feel.

CM has a far more 'pro-woman' plot than WW. WW is more about 'strong female' where CM has plot threads like 'women held back by men', sexism, 'strong girls don't give up', etc.

CM would be more enjoyable to the popcorn audience I think... WW is a lot more stunning looking IMO.

If CM didn't have Nick Fury... I think it would be more like the early Thor movies... not able to hold the general population. But SLJ was cool in this film.

It's being brigaded by bots. Just check out the number of reviews that say "I_am_Robbie_the_synthetic_comment" or have massive spelling errors or odd characters.

 

[LieutLaww]

I don't know why people put any stock in what the scores on RT say anymore at this point its just a haven for the trolls.

That tribute to Stan Lee at the beginning ended with cheers and clapping in my screening. Also, great movie. I’m ready to watch it again!

The better audience score is at IMDB. Right now it's low because of the bombers, but it gets a huge number of users, sometimes in the millions, and their scores swamp out the bombers.

$20.7 Million at the preview night. I think that’s like the second highest day for movies so far this year (It’s been a rough start for the domestic box office).

Update- it’s the fifth highest preview for a MCU movie

In just one day, the IMDB audience score went from 60 to 66 as real reviewers overtake the bombers.
