i use metacritic all the time but not to figure out movie quality just to see a list of links to reviews
i mean i don't read reviews to figure out movie quality either

the first time i appeared on metacritic btw i screencapped it and posted it on my livejournal

Posting screencaps of your metacritic appearances on your livejournal is the new 'dancing about architecture' is the name of my dog, officer.

been wondering about this, though i haven't seen TDKR. in TDK, the citizenry must be lied to in order to keep them moving in the right direction (as conceived by the superrich and engineered with the aid of government). looks like the sequel will concern what happens when that benevolent guidance slips.

framing this as readers vs. "critics with whom they disagree" isn't right really since generally speaking the people that are mad haven't even seen the movie, they're just fans of the franchise. which is the craziest thing to me, how can you be that defensive about the advance press for something you haven't seen yet?

bc anticipation >>> results every time, if the anticipation is big enough
nerds spend 2 hours watching the movie and like two months wetting their pants over the idea of watching the movie
bad reviews injure the fantasy

nerds are nerds, and they come in many varieties, but the state of collective, sustained, internet-enabled frenzy in which self-defined "geek culture" (or w/e) awaits its totem films does have its own special character.

After the film, I went out to dinner with some friends that attended and the aggravation with the film was felt throughout the table.
― a hauntingly unemployed american (difficult listening hour), Thursday, 19 July 2012 19:19 (eleven years ago) link
i guess that line's not that weird. maybe you can say "throughout the table". i just laughed cuz i imagined the table itself like shaking with inarticulate rage over nolan's desecration of batman.

Ebert liked the last 2, isn't sold on this one. leaving aside the ones who seemingly HAVE to say something nice this is basiclaly getting 'mixed' reviews then.

i stopped myself when i got to the big spoiler pause (sigh, normally i don't care but i'd kinda like the end to be a surprise) but the stuff he mentioned, like batman retiring because someone he loved died, seemed kinda weak sans context.

honestly i don't really care if the film adds up so long as it's got forward motion. i just don't want to have a chance to ponder how it could have been better while it's on screen.

so no hollered, gravelly bat-monologues, nolan!

i just want to feel a well of emotion as batman sheds a tear then emerges triumphant and more gravelly voiced than ever, plus explosions.

I imagine it'll be as "faithful" as the other Nolan movies. Not sure what else you're expecting

Bob Mondello had a clever bit in his (glowing) review today on NPR. He was talking about the score, which was playing behind him. The music volume kept going up and up until he was having to shout his review over it.
