Metacritic

This will be an obvious Best Picture and Best Director nominee.

Saw the preview. Looks awesome. and I'm a huge fan of Kathryn Bigelow. I'll see almost anything she makes.

As long as Jon Boyega says there are enough black people in it I'm cool with it.

The next few years I expect minority based movies to dominate to make the voters feel better about themselves

It's funny watching the reviews from people that enjoy this movie. Like people that enjoy a root canal.

The pandering will be STRONG with this one! Can't wait for the 3 guys that give it a negative review get "twitter harrasment" and accused of racism because they thought it could've been better. EVIL People they are!

Wonder if they'll put a tag line at the end of the film that says "the events portrayed on the movie destroyed one of America's greatest cities and turned it into a hell hole from the next 40 yrs."

I completely disagree. I had zero clue what was going on in the trailer. Is it a drame? Suspense thriller? Horror movie?

The trailer was stupid

If you can't tell what's going on in that trailer, you should probably give up on movieing. That trailer's legit.

Is this another movie intended to make me feel guilty about being born white? Those are the best kind of movies.

There are not nearly enough white victims in that movie. I'm not paying to go see a movie full of a bunch of the same people.

Did I do that right, Boyega?

"And the Oscar for Best Loss of Breath Actor goes to...John Boyega"

*Huge applause*

"Wow, stunning! This is Boyega's 2nd win of the night after taking down the Jar Jar Binks Memorial Oscar for most unnessary Star Wars trilogy character. Remarkable!"

Only 15 critics so far and the average ratings is just at 7.9

I just randomly read one metacritic review and he started off with the spiel about Ferguson, Tamir Rice, and Philando Castile and how things haven't changed much since the riots in Detroit. Yeah, I'll pass. Bigelow is good, but I'm not especially interested in this subject matter and it's clear the heavy praise is inspired by liberal nonsense.
