Whoever wrote that has no sense of irony.
Who cares about DCinB anyway? And are they really worth potentially spoiling the film for our many american members who have yet to see it?
Don't mind him.
It is him.............and i apologize to members here for posting his comments!
Just found this on RT. A chart of all James Bond movies.
I can't believe there are 16 Bond movies that are rated higher than Spectre, with QOS having the same rating. And it could get worse if it only falls another 2-3 %.
:( Why? Anyone who has seen Spectre knows this is totally undeserved. It's almost grotesque.
Let's hug each other cutypie. Hold each other's hands. And enjoy the film on our own terms dear Mr Switzerland :-P.
Oh and group hug
>:D<
Exactly.......its 1% lower than QOS.........something very strange is going on!
Now you're being ridiculous, what the hell has Brosnan to do with that garbage site?? If anything it should be ignored.
It has nothing to do with Brosnan. Nothing.
It looks like this did indeed have an impact on the critics and who knows the audience too @nobodydoesitbetter
Because there is no other explanation that would make sense for those bad reviews.
Agree. There are a lot of negative reviews from lesser known critics. The lower rating than QOS (and I like QOS) at this point though is bizarre considering how much QOS is not liked. If the tomatoemeter drops any further it will end up being Craig's worst reviewed Bond film (according to RT)
I realized it was out of context and was a quote from ages ago because I am a part of this forum and like to find the truth in media misrepresentation......but a casual viewer and a fairweather fan professional reviewer might not know this, even now.
That would indeed leave a different impression, and not a good one, which could have impacted their viewing experience.
This is bullshit.
Actually.........'Smitty' is right here, upto a certain point.
One of the key founders of the original DCinB site, which was called CnB was a woman, called Deanna Brayton (if i remember correctly), she was a total Brosnan fan freak, and couldn't handle the fact, when Brosnan lost the role of Bond.
She took out her dissapointment by hating Craig when he got the role.
Her hatred was so intense, she wrote a front page letter at CnB, basically calling all Craig supporters homosexuals.
She at one point was interviewed on an American radio station, where she admitted she actually wasn't a Bond fan at all, but just a Brosnan fan........this led to her being ridiculed by the interviewer, on the radio.
She didn't stay long at the CnB site, saying the backlash from James Bond fans had caused her health problems. Anyway shortly afterward, the site was renamed DCinB, and they became a calmer bunch of people!
Yes, but if you look at the Top Critics of QOS, the rating is 40%!! and even DAD gets a higher rating from the TopCritics, so I wouldn't take that too seriously.
Who decides who is a top critic?
However, he could have if he wanted. If EON had asked him to, then he should have. As I mentioned the relationship was strained at that time. He was probably figuring out his life post-Bond (the steady paycheque was long gone) so I don't blame him for not speaking up on his own accord. It was probably the last thing he was concerned about.......did anyone ask him about it? I don't think so.
You are right QOS regular rating is 65, with Top critics giving it 40, but check DAD again it has a 57% rating, with top critics giving 42. This shows that Top critics are more critical of Bond films that have problems. (I like QOS and DAD in some ways but both films have problems). And now these critics are saying Spectre is better than the lowbrow critics. They make interesting reading. A lot of them are open to embracing the fun aspects of Spectre, with the lowbrow critics angry that they didn't get Skyfall 2. How strange that the "snooty" critics enjoy it more!
Anyway :
"Top Critic is a title awarded to the most significant contributors of cinematic and critical discourse. To be considered for Top Critics designation, a critic must be published at a print publication in the top 10% of circulation, employed as a film critic at a national broadcast outlet for no less than five years, or employed as a film critic for an editorial-based website with over 1.5 million monthly unique visitors for a minimum of three years. A Top Critic may also be recognized as such based on their influence, reach, reputation, and/or quality of writing, as determined by Rotten Tomatoes staff."
I'm also kind of wondering why there is no section for international critics. Box office in general, and especially Bond, is more global than ever, yet all those positive reviews from Europe that Gustav has posted will not even get onto that site. But the "Flick Filosopher" will!
