MemberOvomorphMay-27-2012 2:34 PMAs the release date approaches (next Friday in France) it would be fun to have members of this board guess the Tomatometer score for Prometheus, and see who gets closer.

p.s.: I really don't like those pseudo-critics.

MemberOvomorphMay-27-2012 2:42 PMWell most of the movie critics sites have old age movie watchers. I think they should retire from their critic pods and appreciate the CGI in the new sci-fi movies. I do agree with their critics regarding acting in sci-fi movie but they overdo it when they critic other parts of movie.
Uncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security.

MemberOvomorphMay-27-2012 2:46 PMIf it is amazing, groundbreaking, but not too thought provoking with only the veneer of depth and intelligence (like Inception) that makes it accessible to anyone: 90%
If it is amazing, groundbreaking, and truly thought provoking on a deep intellectual level (Like Blade Runner): 73%
If it is alright but nothing too special with good scares and great special effects: 62%
If it is downright rubbish that is overly complicated but without any real depth whatsoever and with too many moving parts (that serve no purpose) for the general audiences to appreciate: 24%

MemberFacehuggerMay-27-2012 2:50 PMDavid 1 : I'm with you on this one....
Alien got 96%
For a bit of fun 95%, can we have a large bag of tomatoes off the staff for the winner?

MemberOvomorphMay-27-2012 3:00 PMThat's a hard call, I wouldn't be able to answer.
To me Rotten Tomatoes holds an entertainment value that goes beyond film criticism. Have you ever read the replies to the top critics who gave a negative vote to Alien?
I am really curious about what will be Roger Ebert's critique. Usually I don't bother about "professional" critics, but in Ebert's case I appreciate his work and attitude, and I usually agree with him.
Ridley Scott will eventually tell us how the Queen was born.
Right now we have the Deacon; coming soon the Mercury, the May and the Taylor.

MemberOvomorphMay-27-2012 3:03 PMRichard Corliss I think it was from Time Magazine originally knocked the hell out of it and then when the Quadrilogy DVD pkg. was released he called it perhaps the "Best SCi-Fi Horror film ever made"! That pretty much sums up how I feel about critics.

MemberOvomorphMay-27-2012 3:07 PM@ Drakeequation That's a very good analysis... if your 73% prediction is true that percentage will increase with time, in the same way Blade Runner gained the favor of critics with the pass of time.. It will also have a higher score than its percentage, because the good reviews will boost that score probably over 8.
If the 90% scenario is true, I don't think the movie will considered a classic and the actual score will be just over 7.
I don't really see how Prometheus could end up with a 24% score. 62% doesn't sound right to me either. If the critics doesn't know what to make of the movie, I think it would end up getting a score similar to Aronofsky's "The Fountain", around the 50%

MemberOvomorphMay-27-2012 3:22 PMRotten Tomatoes cannot be taken seriously...they are a bunch of douchebags...they gave toy story 3 99% and constantly overrate mediocre movies with 90%+ because they are arty
I predict 80%

MemberOvomorphMay-27-2012 3:22 PMLike many of you, I find that most critics are full of shit. But, that being said, for the Tomatometer, I'll wager that Prometheus gets a high 80's from the critics, and a mid 90's from the audience. 87% and 95% to be exact.
I think overall the film will get a good reception across the board, maybe even earn "classic" status eventually. We shall see...

MemberOvomorphMay-27-2012 3:27 PMMaybe people can also try guessing what the consensus blurb will read.

MemberOvomorphMay-27-2012 3:41 PM@Didley That's right, that would be fun to! They probably already have several ones to choose from :-)

AdminPraetorianMay-27-2012 4:14 PM?? Sky, I don't understand why you keep mentioning age. I know young people and old people and all of them differ. Some young ones, 13-20 hate CGI while some old ones 35-50 love CGI. I just don't understand where this ageism comes from. Same goes for all stereotypes really, I am female and I ONLY know girls who enjoy Sci-fi and play video games while the boys I know hate that stuff... O_O Maybe I am the weird one. O:

MemberOvomorphMay-27-2012 4:26 PMWho even listens to what those hacks have to say. Rotten Tomatoes my arse!! They can go and rightfully f@&k themselves!! They gave Transformers Dark of the Moon that garbage that passes for a movie a good rating! Are you freaking kidding me!!

MemberOvomorphMay-27-2012 4:34 PMWithin 3 points, in either direction, of 75%...a consensus amounting to "...some very interesting ideas here, but too gross at times."
