MAN OF STEEL: CURRENT ROTTEN TOMATOES SCORE: 60%
Uh Oh. The new Superman almost has a Rotten score.
“If you like your summer-movie explosions huge, “Man of Steel” delivers. But it seems as if it might have delivered even more than a glorious noise.”- Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic
“”Man of Steel” is second-tier and third-generation Chris Nolan-flavored neo-superhero material.”- Andrew O’Hehir, Salon.com
“Henry Cavill is the best looking Superman yet. He is also the dullest.”- Bob Grimm, Tuscon Weekly
“It’s a technically impressive film with a lovely score from Hans Zimmer and some strong supporting performances, all sucked into the joyless machine of Goyer’s script and self-important direction of Mr. Snyder.”- Brian Tallerico, HollywoodChicago.com
“It’s a monotonous pounding that’s meant to exhaust not inspire, which plays to Snyder’s strengths, yet results in a mediocre, cold-to-the-touch endeavor trying too hard to follow superhero cinema trends.”- Brian Orndorf, BluRay.com
THIS IS THE END: CURRENT ROTTEN TOMATOES SCORE: 81%
“As long as Rogen and his buddies are just as self-involved, crude, obnoxious and hopefully exaggerated versions of themselves, things stay pretty funny.”- Bob Mondello, NPR
“This is one of the most tasteless, ridiculous and funniest comedies of the 21st century.”- Richard Roeper, RichardRoeper.com
“The results are undeniably amusing, but hardly supply the bellylaughs one would expect from such sleepover atmosphere of pals making a hearty, weed-foggy doomsday commotion.”- Brian Orndorf, Bluray.com
“This is fundamentally a narcissistic venture, undone by the fact that none of these guys are compelling enough to sustain an entire movie without a story.”- Robert Levin, amNewYork
What I Said: “This Is The End is the funniest film of the year, and the best time I’ve had in a movie theater in a long time.”
