Had no idea it was a compilation of ratings from real movie reviewers.


It's not even that.

The RT score that gets talked about simply gives you the average of "fresh" (good) and "rotten" (bad) reviews.

A movie can have a fresh (or rotten) average but still get mediocre scores overall from the critics that would average it out as a something like a 5 out of 10.

If you want general audience scores you should to look at Cinemascore. LINK

mean frick it's not casablanca or anything but it was an entertaining movie


Which parts did you find entertaining?

A nerdy virgin feeding a jolly rancher to a sad old man or a lispy senator politically questioning Superman in a committee hearing?

Was it when Batman, who is a genius detective inventor, threw a spear he spent millions inventing to fight a superpowered alien, the only tool on planet earth that can fight Superman, into a pool for no reason rather than just keeping it because some guy said the word Martha?

Was it when Lex hired guys to set up Superman and made sure they used stamped Lex Corp bullets instead of just buying a box of 9mm ammo at Walmart?

Was it when a piss bomb exploded in the Senate hearing and Superman, who is faster than a speeding bullet, didn't just immediately freeze it and at the same time fly the guy and the explosion out the window and minimize the damage?

Was it Lois Lane's super powered ability to be a plot device? She's faster and more impervious to damage than Superman in that movie.

Was it the plot that Lex's entire reason and motivation was just to see Batman attack Superman for seemingly no reason. I mean seriously. What was his reason for anything he did? I can't even remember. Did a reason exist?

Was it the bizarre way that Superman went from the end of Man of Steel where he destroyed government drones and satellites to being a government shill errand boy?

Was it Superman's insanely hypocrital bullshite reason for attacking Batman?

In the movie Batman attacks criminals and turns them into the police. Superman fricks up multiple citizens lives for no reason and enjoys letting private property get destroyed for no reason with a smile on his face but he has the audacity to tell Batman to stop hitting violent criminals?

Was it the bizarre thought that Superman, who, again, is basically impervious to damage and faster than any man made vehicle, entrusts Batman to go save his mom so he can go tell Lex he's an a-hole? Superman could've flown in, saved his mom, gotten froyo, taken a nap, and then gone to see lex faster than Batman could fly his plane to the place where they were keeping Martha.

I mean they were on a fricking timer. Remember that? And Superman knew that, lex told him he was on a timer . Forget the reminder than Superman went to just kill Batman instead of trying to save his own mother, which is fricking crazy, but he wasted time fighting Batman. Why didn't he just go save his mom? Why even waste time trying to fight Batman?

This was worse than that. I don't see why Vader at least saying no would sound bad on paper. "Martha" on the other hand is something I'd smart off at the writers table with as the worst possible idea ever on why Batman doesn't kill Superman. I'm pretty sure I'd come up with that on a cuff just joking about the worst idea we could possibly do. And of course Snyder and Goyer would think that was genius when it's the dumbest thing in film history since Shyamalan thought to imprison Earthbenders in a rock quarry.
