Guess Prometheus' Tomatometer

@Svayana: "old ones, 35-50..." That was priceless. :P

Tomatometer - 87% p.s.: I really don't like those pseudo-critics.

Well 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.

If 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%

I hated their criticism for "THE DIVIDE"

David 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?

Goddamn Tropics in here: Right??? Those dudes were bashing it as if it was a 'roach.

That'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.

It's a robot. Ash is a goddam robot.

David 1 - Sorry pal, I meant the critics, but will check out the divide anyway....

Richard 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.

@ 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%

i'm gonna say...on the [b]Tomatometer it gets a 91% Rating [/b] from the critics and that [b]on the audience rating...97% Like It[/b] !

screw the critics out there ,,most of them know Jack &^^%$,, WE ARE THE CRITICS ,,,,,i give it a full thumbs up 95 rating ,,,,,,99% fans will love it so much ,,,they/we,,, will see it twice

100 % if you spoil your space suit

Rotten 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%

Like 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...

[quote]100 % if you spoil your space suit[/quote] lmao good one "Ruh"... [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LT.HIGHTIMES/1a1cblow.png[/img]

Maybe people can also try guessing what the consensus blurb will read.

I hate critics...... Listening to one and being one, equally.

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

I 100% agree with Ruh, I might want to wear some Depends.

lmao yea me too come to think of it, i'm at that age now...lol...

?? 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:

Who 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!!

Within 3 points, in either direction, of 75%...a consensus amounting to "...some very interesting ideas here, but too gross at times."
