Kaneki 1,073 October 2, 2017 Share October 2, 2017 Let's play a little game: based on the trailers and existing reviews, what do you think the Rotten Tomatoes score for the movie will be? High, or low? I think anywhere between 60-80%. Obviously, the movie is not gonna appeal to everyone, but the fandom is so big now, that may effect the ratings a little bit. I haven't read the reviews too much yet, so I'm thinking my guess is a little biased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harratot33 93 October 2, 2017 Share October 2, 2017 68%, similar to the first SpongeBob film. Obviously, anything above 83-ish is way too high - I could possibly see it going as low as 44, but no lower than that. Judging from early fan reactions and the trailers...yeah, 68 sounds pretty accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may very well be write, but early reviews are all positive so far. My original prediction was 70% but after all the early positive reception from fans and non fans, I think it will be 80-85% Edited October 2, 2017 by Ryanmahaffe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hierok 11,831 October 2, 2017 Share October 2, 2017 Probably around the 75% -80%. 1 If I don't understand something or Interpret it wrong, I'm dutch. Sometimes I gamble for meanings of the words.

Jeric 46,851 October 2, 2017 Share October 2, 2017 Judging from local presses and the almost unanimous praise it's been getting from non-fans ... 86% is a good bet. I have yet to come across a negative non-fan review from the US market. Not a one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For whatever it's worth, he did say in the comments that the songs, which he dismissed as forgettable "pop songs", began to grow on him on Spotify. Whether or this is actually the first time he heard them, or he really did see it and warmed up to it, I will take no more part in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denim&Venöm 18,959 October 2, 2017 Share October 2, 2017 Critically between 50-60%. Audience score between 60-70% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zantetsuken 364 October 2, 2017 Share October 2, 2017 (edited) MLP has a large bias AGAINST it so I won't be surprised if general audiences hate bomb it early on. But in the long run I think it's a safe bet to say the score will come to rest somewhere between 50% and 70% both with critics and general audiences I don't know about any one of you all but I personally have disliked a lot of the trailers that have been released for the movie. I don't know what it is but I don't like what I see, I don't like how short the ponies are, I don't like the dialogue or songs in said trailer, I am having a REAL hard time accepting the anthro characters. The art style while stunning is so different from the show that I am actually struggling to buy that this is even based on the same thing I mean clearly it is but it's looks so different... a little too different. But despite all the doubts I have I am still going to see the movie and give my thoughts... somewhere Edited October 2, 2017 by Zantetsuken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,478 October 2, 2017 Share October 2, 2017 I was going to say not higher than 70%, but everyone is saying that early reviews are all positive, so it could go higher than that when all is said and done. I still don't see it going higher than a 75% but that is still pretty damn good all things considered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I expected this fully. Newcomers don't tend to hold MLP up to the same lofty standards as fans do, and those who go in with expectations lower than dirt are more likely to be impressed with what they find. It's how this whole fanbase started, and now it's likely to draw in new admirers the same way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ganondox 899 October 7, 2017 Share October 7, 2017 Does any one have any explanation for why the initial critical reception was overwhelmingly positive, but the more recent reception has been more negative? I don't think that's a trend unique to this movie. My current hypothesis is that the critics who had positive preconceptions about the movie saw it earlier as they actually wanted to see it, whereas those with more negative preconceptions waited a bit before they came in, and then people ended up conforming to their preconceptions. The current approval rating is similar to wanted to see it ratio, so I think it makes sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
