92 fresh vs 6 rotten?
Clearly Marvel paid for those reviews to be good and BvS reviews to be bad. Right? RIGHT???

I'm very excited and have no doubt it'll be fantastic. But a lot of the reviews are very meh. That's an issue with these RT scores.

This film may excel at building anticipation for cool things coming a year or two down the line, but does a movie called Captain America that leaves you wishing you were watching one called Spider-Man really count as a win for blockbuster fans?

That's why they have average scores. 7.9 is still pretty high. But I agree. It's a shame that most audiences will always look solely at the fresh/rotten aspect. It's not a very good judge of the critic reviews.

The guy who made the bottom review thinks this:
Yeah no

The sequence lets Downey be properly funny, not just in an odd-quip-here-and-there way, but in the raffish fashion that helped make Shane Black’s Iron Man 3 – the last Marvel film to have any kind of directorial stamp on it and the best Marvel film to date – consistently hilarious and subversive.
Yeah no

not really, like it or not, there are quite a few people who thought IM3 was great.
it's not like it made over a billion at the box office by accident.

I was very pumped up to see Iron Man 3, I was expecting something along the lines of Avengers, but without the others (just more of Iron Man doing his thing). That would have been fantastic, imo.
It's more palatable on rewatches now, as you have the rest of the MCU films to fill things in. But it was very, very disappointing as a standalone film.

It was the first MCU film post-avengers and it was with their most popular character. It made over $800 million internationally primarily due to its Chinese (and overall Asian) bump.
As for that guy's review, he is right in that Iron Man 3 had the most impact on its tone/story by its director of any MCU movie, but that's not a good thing in this case at all. And to say it's the best Marvel film to date when it's not even the best Iron Man film is a joke.

Top Critic reviews coming in still mostly positive. One has been rotten

According to BoxOfficeMojo, it's already made almost $225 million overseas.

IM3 is a weird movie (as is Thor:DW). And yeah, plenty of people liked it.

I love IM3. Outside of Winter Soldier, its probably my favorite MCU film. Mainly because it's almost an anti-superhero film. It's the closest thing they've come to making the Fraction/Aja Hawkeye comic.
Anyway, I don't get people's obsession with the the tomato-meter. The movie is getting generally positive reviews, that's pretty much all I care about, not its specific percentage of positive reviews. And I have no problem with critics disliking it. I'd be concerned if every one of them did.

That's high praise. I don't love it, but I do enjoy the heck out of it, and watch it any time it's on TV. It's a different kind of fun, and I thought Shane Black's style was a perfect fit for the movie and the approach.

I agree, but....
I think this focus is really prominent with "Universe" films, partially because we all know that Critic Response can be related to audience response, which can be related to how much money it makes and if the universe is successful, therefore continues. RT scores present a sort of validation of success if everything aligns - Score, Audience Response, Box Office. If it works, then we get more films, if it doesn't work then we won't.
They present the only valid metric, outside of Box Office, that this is working. Attach that to historical properties that are usually both nostalgic and contemporary at the same time, and you get this.

I'm taking both positive and negative reviews of this movie with a grain of salt. We haven't really seen any in depth reviews of why it's good or fun or why people don't like it.

My takeaways from reviews, they follow the Marvel method. The airport scene will be crazy awesome. The villain is about as important to the film as any other villain not named Loki. The Black Panther is great. Spider-Man how Spider-Man should be.
Those last two takeaways are worth it alone for me even if it is nothing more than a building block for another movie. I have a feeling after this movie I will be counting down the days until Spider-Man Homecoming and Black Panther's solo flick.

you guys will love it, I cant stress it enough.
and then guys like TLS will hate it bc he'll realize how superior CW is to BvS, even though he shouldn't be comparing much.
