Important Public Service Announcement...
I wanted for Wolverine to be awesome so I could go watch it this weekend. I really did.
Unfortunately, the new Wolverine movie is getting a 38% fresh rating on Rottentomatoes.com. For those of you living in cave, Rottentomatoes is a unique movie rating site in that it take reviews from many different critics and creates an percentage rating based off that. I think this makes for a pretty accurate way of gauging whether you should watch the movie in theaters or not.
38% fresh for the Wolverine movie means that only 38 percent from 128 critics who reviewed Wolverine liked it. Meaning 80 critics out of 128 hated it, which is a pretty good indicator that the movie is really bad. What does this mean to you? It means that, if you still go to watch this movie this weekend, you are in small part sending a message to these production studios that it is OK to keep making bad movies as long as the marketing campaigns for these movies is strong.
Is that really the message you want to send? Do you really want to spend 10 of your hard earned dollars to watch a movie that has a 62 percent chancing of sucking, especially in this economy and with the chance you could get the H1N1 flu in the movie theater? Wouldn't you rather wait for it to come out on DVD, or better yet cable?
I'm begging all of you considering to watch Wolverine this weekend to please reconsider! You think it's only a small thing you do by not going, but if enough people eventually heed the call, maybe we all can make a difference! Please, I'm begging you!
