Obviously fans with boners over-rated Blade Runner 2049. There is no way the general populace thinks it is an A-.

I am not surprised BR2049 got good Cinemascore with the type of audience it attracted over the weekend.

Cinemascore is the worst in critiquing a film, they get it right only sparsely, but otherwise either over or under rating a film considering my opinion on it.

CinemaScore is a polling organisation, just to be clear. They don't grade movies themselves.

Yeah, I mean, it's just one of the worst systems around for me.

Well, it's not meant to be a critical consensus, or to be a competing system to RT and MC. It is more of an industry indicator that has caught on with analysts and box office enthusiasts.

Well it's an aggregate grade assigned to a film. A grade a very rarely agree with I feel. That's pretty much it.

I do not believe cinemagoers will be as happy at Chan's return as critics are. Chan isn't as agile and the film isn't comic at all (part of the reason I liked it), and it is about the IRA (not a particularly interesting topic for Americans; The Devil's Own received a B-). And solo action films have an uphill battle getting into the "A" category (Brosnan's own November Man received a B+).

Good analysis. I'm going out on a limb and sticking with my prediction though.

I don't think HDD will be hated, but many say it's basically a straight comedy and not horror at all, so those expecting a scary movie will be annoyed and say it wasn't scary. However it seems fun and entertaining enough that it will win some over anyway.

If Marshall gets polled I'm predicting an A.

It never struck me as the type of "horror" to be scary anyway.

But sadly audiences don't really "get" horror comedies. They think horror movies have to be scary or they're bad.
