They gave one of my favorite movies, The Thirteenth Floor, a score of 29% while it's rated decently in other places and is a pretty good film, definitely not garbage...
I'm having a feeling some reviewers just don't know what to do with certain movies that do not fit a particular mold, and then keep trying to compare them to other movies when it's not appropriate, and Warcraft is also most likely being punished out of the gate for being Warcraft.
Reviews from people so far seem to be pretty good.
- gdulli 10y agoI don't really buy that. The last Mission Impossible got a 93% on RT. Civil War got a 90%. Genre movies that aren't trying to be more than simple entertainment tend to do well on RT if they're good. It's more like Warcraft is being punished for being "a Battlefield Earth for the 21st century" according to the article.
- projektir 10y agoAren't Mission Impossible and Civil War both popular, accepted franchises? With fairly simple, clear-cut storylines? Warcraft is not really in the same bucket. It's closer to something like John Carter, where some people are in the know, the rest don't know what it is, and it's trying to squeeze a truckload of information into not enough time. And in the case of Warcraft in particular, a lot of people perceive it as embarrassing.
