are you serious?Well you know originally it was supposed to be a Jon Lovitz and Dana Carvey vehicle
Rotten Tomato scores that leave you baffled
- Thread starter Kill Dat Noize
- Start date
are you serious?
Yup. The movie was in development for a couple years I think
And he also rated movies based on what they were, not what he wanted or expected them to be and judged them based on that.

As most of the thread states black movies get shytted on the worst by "critics"

Can I be real for a second breh? And I know it's going to get some hate thrown my way and I'm cool with that but a lot of our movies are shoddily made and a lot of black actors and actresses have admitted that. The attention to detail isn't always there, the script quality isn't always there and a lot of times the acting is meh. I think Boomerang got the rating it got because there was a backlash against Eddie at the time because he just wasn't on point anymore although I'd argue that Boomerang is one of his funniest flicks. But we cut corners when we do shyt sometimes man and that's gotta change.

Oh no I feel and understand what your saying I'm mostly talking about the movies that are genuinely good like you mentioned Boomerang being shytted on.

There's a lot of funny stuff in that movie like when he disguises himself as a Italian
but ultimately I think the movie was a little too high concept for a Eddie Murphy movie at that time.

- 66%
Lucy (2014) - should have been 30% or below
- 99%
Boyhood (2014)- bullshyt. This movie was a 50% at best
- 53%
Out of the Furnace (2013)- should have been a 80% or above
- 69%
Stoker (2013)- should have been a 85% or above. I think the subject matter spooked the critics
- 80%
Eve's Bayou (1996)- should be a 90% or above
- 93%
Drive (2011)- should be a 80% or below
- 79%
Seven (Se7en) (1995)- should be a 93% or above
Im not sure all the people saying movies should be this % instead of that % really understand what rt is.
Its not saying a movie is 86%, its just saying 86% of critics gave it a score of 6/10 out or higher.
I mean, it just seems funny saying "90% of critics should have had a different opinion"
Which is actually one of my biggezt problems with how people use RT. They just look at the % and ignore the actual average rating. A movie can be at 100% and only have a middling average of like 6.5/10. So people only look at that 100% and think the movie is about to be amazing when really its just a passabke flick to critics.

It blows my mind that it's 2014 and some people still don't understand how RT works

I thought Eddie did a great job in Vampire in Brooklyn for what he was given...the last 3rd o the movie was horribly scripted and directed, so that's where it loses me...it's not Eddie's fault; its Craven's fault
he also really loved black movies.. even the hood ones
and his wife was black
ebert was black at heart

I wouldn't say all that but I read his reviews faithfully as his tastes were similar to mine...when he passed it was a bad day for me..he really helped me out alot in understanding film and loving it
Jason's Lyric 67% ?!?!?!?!
