You know what's funny?
Ahh. It wasn’t a take, just them saying where the film currently lands % wise:
Pocahontas rated worse than the black cauldron.

What this shows is that critics are just people too, they aren't special. And they have opinions good or bad just like anyone else.Pocahontas rated worse than the black cauldron.whatever.
In an aggregate sense they help us determine how well received a movie is.What this shows is that critics are just people too, they aren't special. And they have opinions good or bad just like anyone else.
So why do we give them so much weight in terms of a films quality?
I lost faith in critics a long time ago, so they hold no weight with me.In an aggregate sense they help us determine how well received a movie is.
This one like a Pixar movie though. Waterworks.I lost faith in critics a long time ago, so they hold no weight with me.
But I'm sorry nothing against Tink but her series of films is not better than Pocahontas -

“But hey, it's no Chicken Little and Brother Bear.”
Yeah, those movies more than made back their budget in the theatrical window.
That’s because Rotten Tomatoes “expanded” to include garbage like KBFE Radio Yuma and Larry’s Movie Blog as “reviewers”.
Luckily, they kept the “Top Critic” rating so we can see what legitimate reviewers think.
(BTW, Top Critics currently at 43% on Wish, but it’s early)

While Asha may not have enough actual flaws, the line about her "caring too much" is a joke. In real life, people seeking jobs are often asked to state a weakness and the cliche is to say you "care too much" — because that's not a weakness, but a strength. Most employers see right through that crap, however.Speaking of Asha, she’s perfect. Like literally, she has no flaws whatsoever. The movie even states her weakness is “caring too much”. Because of this she doesn’t really grow the entire movie.
It was painful typing it out as it was watching it. The scene is incredibly brief, no more than 20 seconds, but it really was bad lol. The fact they feature part of it in the trailer too is bizarre, there’s a good amount of funnier / emotional moments they could have used!You had me at “chicken breakdancing scene”.![]()
Yeah, I understand it’s a joke, but it doesn’t negate the fact she has no weaknesses or flaws. She’s the same character from beginning to end. Perhaps the “growth” throughout the movie comes from the citizens of the kingdom, but they aren’t the main character.While Asha may not have enough actual flaws, the line about her "caring too much" is a joke.

Oh I know. I’m just pointing out again that we shouldn’t take these critic ratings so seriously. Critics aren’t infallible and don’t necessarily represent audience reactions.The Tomatometer is the % of critics who recommend seeing the movie, not a score out of 100 like on a test.
That's where there's a separate average rating out of 10 listed too.
Smaller sample sizes of reviews can also skew results one way or the other.
So no, this does not mean automatically mean critics think Tinkerbell is a better movie than Pocahontas.
All of this should be known by now by our resident armchair box office analysts.
I also why I appreciate some sites and commenters who aggerate both the tomatometer and out of 10 scores for movies.
Yikes. Sounds like a major flaw of the screenplay.She’s the same character from beginning to end.
It seems to be a common criticism in the professional reviews that the characterizations in this film are thin, with only Asha and Magnifico having actual personalities as opposed to one or two traits (most obviously with The Teens). Indeed, a striking issue gleaned from many reviews is that the story isn't driven by how the characters interact with each other and are changed by their relationships; there are no moving relationship moments cited. It's like plot point, plot point, plot point (a common complaint leveled at a lot of superhero, etc. films these days).Yikes. Sounds like a major flaw of the screenplay.
You're right! Critics are stupid anyway.Oh I know. I’m just pointing out again that we shouldn’t take these critic ratings so seriously. Critics aren’t infallible and don’t necessarily represent audience reactions.
Glad you liked it! I hope I feel similarly!Well that was delightful. The film is gorgeous. Yes it’s certainly a different animation style for Disney, but I really enjoyed it. Felt like a blend of the classic with the new.
The music is fun, especially the “fight” song.
I chuckled a fair number of times, and the audience around me seemed to be as equally engaged and enthused.
The ending got me emotional, and all the subtle (and sometimes not subtle) references were a beautiful throwback.
It feels like a good classic Disney musical film, with a great story, a heartfelt message, and oozes with the Disney magic we all fell in love with as kids.
I think this will have legs.
