I enjoy the transcript but I'm not super sure I like the star-based score, I don't think anyone really wants that. The only times I could see it being desired would be in particularly spoiler-heavy reviews.
It probably isn't the most interesting thing in theaters right now but I'm pretty sure it's the movie that has generated the most hype for general moviegoers right now. I mean I would have been surprised if Bob didn't review this movie to be honest.KissingSunlight said:If they ever do a movie like that, people will complain about women doing bad or stupid things. They will also complain if any of the women are too skinny, too fat, too pretty, too ugly, etc. *ahem* Frozen. In general, They will have more to complain about than, "Why isn't there a movie about an all-women community?"inu-kun said:I demand another film to be made but this time with an all female community instead of an all male community, because clearly my opinion is more important and the studios owe it to me and if they refuse I'll bash them for being sexist.
I refuse to believe that a bland, mediocre YA movie is the best thing in the theater this weekend. I saw This Is Where I Leave You. It was funny and realistic family dramedy. There are also: Walk Among The Tombstones, The Drop, Skeleton Twins, and Zero Theorem. Come on! Just because something isn't geek fare. That doesn't mean your audience will not be interested in it.
Now that Bob's review includes the text script, I decided to see how Bob stacks up against his colleagues. So I copy-pasted Bob's script into a word counter: 643 wordsThunderous Cacophony said:I know Bob has been padding his reviews for a while, but sticking in 1 1/2 minutes of filler in a video less than 5 minutes long is insane.

I guess he didn't have much to say about this movie other than "It's okay, but sequel bait." As he said, doldrums of autumn. I expect this for one more week before we start getting the early entries into the year end rush.Thunderous Cacophony said:Hasn't Bob said in the past that he hates numerical scores? This new format seems odd for him.
Also:
0:00 to 1:03- Footage from the movie
1:03 to 3:56- Actual Review
3:56 to 4:20- More footage
4:20 to 4:48- Credits, a couple jokes

who cares, as long as they get Deadpool right this time he can be pissy about it.daxterx2005 said:Everyone in the world is pumped we're getting a proper Deadpool and not another Dudepeel. Of course Bob isn't happy.
I am hoping for a great movie out of that one, but I'm going to stay cautiously optimistic... We've been burned before.daxterx2005 said:Everyone in the world is pumped we're getting a proper Deadpool and not another Dudepeel. Of course Bob isn't happy.
I appreciate the numbers, but my point was more that the video seemed artificially padded. If he wants to write a review, that's fine, but adding in footage for no reason related to his actual review (I think it's just a slightly cut commercial, rather than a specific display of any of the points he was making) feels like cheating to me. It served no purpose in terms of his actual review, it just saved him from putting out a video of slightly more than 3 minutes in length.Falseprophet said:Now that Bob's review includes the text script, I decided to see how Bob stacks up against his colleagues.

Next, I went to RottenTomatoes.com, looked up The Maze Runner, looked up the Top Critics (presumably they're considered the standard bearers for their format), picked five at random, and plugged their reviews into the same word counter:
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer: 483
Bill Zwecker, Chicago Sun-Times: 376
Michael Sragow, Orange County Register: 428
Christy Lemire, RogerEbert.com: 806
A. A. Dowd, AV Club: 624
Bob seems par for the course to me.
I'm up for a Deadpool movie as much as anyone else here, but you gotta admit, the "comedy" in that clip was pretty cringeworthy. Not just bad jokes, but really awkward timing as well.daxterx2005 said:Everyone in the world is pumped we're getting a proper Deadpool and not another Dudepeel. Of course Bob isn't happy.
