Being too lazy to read a review, what seems to the issue that the critics don't like about Wish?
Formulaic, cliched, overly referential, themes lacking in substance, songs and characters not that great etc

Looks like A or A- for me. We will look to see at it's opening day.Has a 3.0 on Letterboxd, was 3.2 a couple days ago. Any guesses on Cinemascore? A-, B+?
If that's what it was supposed to be it seems they've completely missed the mark. Everything I've heard about this movie is about how its moral is completely backwards and they make the king out to be a villain even though he's the only good guy in the movie.This film was supposed to be more or less that, only without the basis in a classic fairy tale. I also wouldn't say Frozen displayed reverence for the source material; it was more 'inspired' by The Snow Princess.
If this film is not well received by audiences as well as critics, I hope they do take the time to try and figure out how to make original animated features that connect with audiences. It certainly doesn't necessarily follow Disney will do that rather than just cutting back on budgets and relying more heavily on sequels and established IPs. A return to traditional fairy tales also wouldn't be the most obvious response to critics finding this film too formulaic.

I give more weight to verified audience scores. Despite people thinking it’s some exclusive club to become “verified”, anyone can easily by linking their AMC/Fandango/ticketing provider account and proved they purchased a ticket. If someone can’t prove they bought a product, why would I trust their review of it? Obviously not a perfect method to weed out manipulation, but trolls love review bombing anything these days.Do we use all critics or to critics? Verified or all audience? It shows this now.View attachment 755018

The answer is there in your question. Seeing films is no longer required for knowing anything—or indeed everything—about them.Well I have seen the movie, and that is certainly not what happens, and I am unclear how anyone has that take away who has actually seen the film?

My take or theirs? I haven’t seen it yet to have one!I mean, frankly that statement is a complete falsehood. I don't even think anyone could subjectively come away from the film thinking Magnifico was the fair and reasonable one all along?
I'm very interested in your take... maybe I am crazy?

Will report back as soon as I can see it! (We were supposed to go this week but may have to wait till next.)Your take, after you see it!![]()
I’m seeing it in an hour and I can’t wait.I mean, frankly that statement is a complete falsehood. I don't even think anyone could subjectively come away from the film thinking Magnifico was the fair and reasonable one all along?

Obviously I haven't seen it, but going from the spoilers I read:Well I have seen the movie, and that is certainly not what happens, and I am unclear how anyone has that take away who has actually seen the film?

I disagree with his statement that the king is the good guy, but they really do a poor job of making him a villain - and it annoys me that a few very minor changes would have fixed that.Well I have seen the movie, and that is certainly not what happens, and I am unclear how anyone has that take away who has actually seen the film?
Obviously I haven't seen it, but going from the spoilers I read:
Is this accurate in any way?>The King refuses to grant wishes that will hurt the kingdom
>The King wipes the memory of those who made such wishes so they don't have to suffer knowing their wish wasn't fulfilled
>This makes Asha mad so she overthrows the King and traps his soul in a mirror for eternity
>Asha still selectively grants wishes anyway
Same here, the message is extremely clear.Well I have seen the movie, and that is certainly not what happens, and I am unclear how anyone has that take away who has actually seen the film?
