95% out of almost 145,563 people can't wait to see it.
I believe the movie The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 has set all kinds of box office sales numbers. It has a 47% rating on Rotten Tomato, which is probably a more than generous rating. Just because a movie is bad (or in the case of Twilight, where both the series of books and the movies are genuinely awful) does not mean people are not unwilling to see it, or are not excited to see it.
Lady Ga-Ga can wrap herself in a meat dress and sell millions of albums. There is no accounting for taste when it comes to the general public.
Please visit my blog...The Dark Elf File...a slighty skewed journal of music and literary comment, fan-fiction and interminable essays.

The best criticism is meant to be read after you see the film, not before.

"what will always elude the test of objective truth will at least become a kind of art: the art of illumination, persuasion, and good thinking and writing."

Yes, many critics are bad, just as many films are bad.

The best criticism helps us better understand the work being considered.

Rotten Tomatoes has no consensus about The Hobbit.
