1%?


I thought about going to see this movie an hour from now. But, 1% on Rotten Tomatoes? How? I'm not saying that I like or dislike this movie. I have no right to make an assessment because obviously I haven't seen it. And I'm sorry I'm not adding anything constructive to this board's conversation. But 1%????

That does not make it good though. The Room is a horrible movie, but just it is entertainingly bad does not mean it is still not a zero star movie. You are right though, for when there is a score that low on RT, it is interesting to see just what kind of train wreck it is.

Don't trust the critics. Even bad movies are fun. It's just fun to go and see a movie that got a 1% on RT.



Huskies are good at channeling Satan




I know I can't always trust each critic. I might still go to laugh at the film. And Huskies are amazing.

Yeah, I have a hard time thinking it could be good at this point. Hmm, decisions decisions.

There was nothing fun about SpringBreakers unless you count the ~5 minutes of screen time that James Franco was part of. The other 85 minutes of that disaster was pure torture! I would have preferred to use that time to run a marathon with boots and a pizza box!

The Prettiest Girl In The Milky Way Is Neytiri!

reply

Lmao. Well at least Selena Gomez had an easier time with that one because she got to play herself. Good thing I missed that movie also.

reply

you obviously didnt watch the movie if you thought Franco was only there for 5 minutes

reply

You dont have to trust critics but giving money to a movie that may be rubbish fuels the idea of Who cares if its any good, this group of people will pay to see anything that looks remotely entertaining

reply

Absolutely. I am so tired of being wrong about a movie. I've been to the theater a lot and I get disappointed all the time. The worst part is that I encouraged those film's production by paying to see them.

It's 2% now... I didn't think Ethan Hawke would play in a film like this...

reply

Yeah, man. Ethan Hawke is one of the most respectable actors out there.

reply

I know, right?

reply

Maybe he was one of the actors (like Kevin Bacon) who was ripped off my Bernie Madoff.
Because all of a sudden, a career of picking and choosing and now one is on TV and the other is making this and The Purge.

reply

This film is really not that bad at all. You will be entertained for the full 90 minutes.

"End of line, man!"

reply

The movie deserves it, its not very good. Wait for cable.

reply

The question remains. When will America make a great movie again?

reply

Just as soon as Transformers 4 comes out, baby!

reply

BAHAHAHA!

reply

So tired of these posts by idiotic American hating foreigners.

reply

Umm, if you're referring to me, I'm American?

reply

Is this because of the action? What are the film's redeeming qualities, if you don't mind me asking? Because I doubt it's entertaining.

I like the car "VV" seriously man. I have loved mustang whole of my life. 1976 Shelby was the best ever "My Elenore". This car I don't know what it runs on but i did got style. Next time Mr. director if you make such a pathetic movie make sure you get your getaway car refueled cause each time there was a jerk i was thinking oh man fuel tank got empty.

reply

Yup, that Shelby is sick.

reply

1976 Shelby????

Critics are paid to actually evaluate movies, and cannot just ignore the shortcomings of the really bad ones like "Getaway".

Critics, given the nature of their professions, have to be wary of their reputations at all times. Casting a truly bad movie in a more positive light because they strangely enjoyed watching something that terrible, could turn them into the laughing stock among their peers and their readers. Also, RT is a Hot-or-Not type of website, and the 1% approval rating does not actually translate into a 1/10 or a similar rating. Instead, it states that 99% of critics found it to be below average, i.e. around ~4/10 on IMDB.

reply

Yeah, if you look under the 1% it will give you an average score the critics gave it, which was 2.6/10. Still not that good ;)

The full info from rottentomatoes is 122 critics reviewed it. 119 didn't like it, 3 did.

reply

Since it has "cool chase scenes" it got 1% actually, wow.

My only question is simply. I'm not a dirt bike enthusiast. But the scene with the dirt bike (with semi-automatic) chasing the car confused me. He hits 100mph in the car, yet the Dirt Bike is right on his tail the whole time. I know there are 2 stroke and 4stroke bikes... but can they actually go 100mph smooth and easy while you shoot a gun with one hand and steer with the other?

reply

Good question about the dirt bikes. Well, looks like it did end up at 2%.
