Forrest Gump: 72%

It's universally loved, won best picture, kind of low rating for such a film.


What others have you come across?

Spider-Man 3 being fresh (63%) is a champ

Crash at 75%, I feel like in both quality and race card it's the type of films critics pop for

Star Trek Into Darkness 87% is just, please

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines at 70% is also incredible.

You wonder what kind of film the critics were watching to get it so fresh.

I've heard, but for the time the action was kick-ass. Nowadays critics don't go for that anymore, and still find it weird if at the time they did.

Critics tend to walk into films with clearer heads than fans do. They're not looking to be pissed off by a movie.

I like T3, i would give it 3 stars out of 4.

Spider-Man 3 at 63% is laughable, today it would get 10%.

Please, Spider Man 3 is entertaining if nothing else.

Gump would get 90% today but I guess the grungey 90s critics were turned off by its heart warmig earnestness. Life is only about pain.

Home Alone is fucking Rotten. I think it should at least be in the 70's like Mrs. Doubtfire

I wonder how the first two HP movies are in the 80's when everyone seems to think they are not very good.

Home Alone is just a victim of the pre-Internet era. Not all reviews were online.

Home Alone rotten is definitely a surprise.

I actually agree with Algren for once. :zonks:

RT is kind of useless for any pre-internet film. It's not like they go back and search old newspapers to get the reviews from, say, 1940.

Yeah, Home Alone would be fresh in today's day and age.

How many reviews came after 1994?

Seems like it. The only reviews recorded pre-2000 were those from Entertainment weekly at the time of the film's release. All others seems to be taken from post-2000 online reviews.

Yikes. I expected it to be low, but not that low.

For some reason, I think there's been some sort of backlash against the film's corniness as time has gone on. I don't get it. The movie works for me as well now as it ever did. And Zemeckis has always been corny.

I think people are just mad that both shawshank and pulp fiction lost to it. What a fucking year!

Equilibrium 38%

Crazy, action film wise I would compare it to John Wick, and that got an 85% score.

Maybe an 80's score would be too high, but Equilibrium should at least be fresh.

Beauty and the Beast is just at 92%, the same score as A Bug's Life. Really good, but it's not on par with a Pixar score.

Not RT, but ROTJ has a 53 at Metacritic, lower than AOTC's 54 and RoTS's 68.

That was quite a long time ago.
