The BFCA Gives Prometheus a Provisional Rating
The Critics’ Choice website shows Prometheus as already having a rating (score) from the BFCA, the largest film critics organization in North America. We have good reasons to believe the BFCA are still waiting for ratings from most of its members because the critics in question have yet to see Prometheus. Anyhow, check out the tentative score here http://www.criticschoice.com/search?s=prometheus .
To give you a very rough idea of the ratings they’ve handed out in the past– The Avengers got a rating of 90, Battleship a rating of 52, John Carter a rating of 66, and The Hunger Games a rating of 81. And to get an even better idea, you can research more ratings on the Critics’ Choice website here.
Thanks to ZsoltiDarkoo for the news!
Perfect!!
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡DE PUTA MADRE !!!!!!!
¿Por qué cojones retrasan dos meses el estreno en España?
La madre que los parió
Me cago en su puta madre alos de Hispano FoxFilm
PD: A ver si teneis huevos de censurarme…que no entendeis nä, panda perros
jajajajajajajaj
XD
Thats cute.
But I certainly hope it will be better then avengers was.
From 1-10 that movie was a 6.5 at best.
The critics rated that one high because everyone is supposed to be in love with whedon now.
I guess I know who NOT to listen to when getting a movie review.
Thats true, please dont.
And obviously as you can imagine, the feeling would be mutual.
Completely agree RobThom. Avengers was all about the novelty of see all the superheroes share the screen and the conflict between them. But as a story, it was a very average yarn. Based on their generous rating of Avengers, I’ll probably rate prometheus much higher than them.
Thanks, guys. Think I’ll wait for the DVD…
Avengers got 90? I wonder what they have gave to Blade Runner back at the day, BFCA the engineers will soon come after you and unleash the rape-hug-chest-mouth buster all in one
Have they been around that long?
Although one has to admit, that the initial cut of BR was tampered with and flawed.
But yeah, it was still better then TV show level shmutz like avengers.
But I guess it depends on what their criteria’s are.
(I didn’t click on the link, I dont really care.)
Artistic quality?
Audience appreciation?
Ebert has given some real stinkers good reviews because he said that although they were bad movies, that they were well crafted to sate bad movie fans.
And there is a certain gross truth to that to.
Why do you write like that?
Don’t mean to be rude.
Just curious.
I like turtles.
Interesting. 90/100 is a pretty good rating. Here are some more results. Prometheus doesn’t score as highly as Alien though. But, as Lindelof says, Alien is as near to perfection as it gets, and a hard act to follow.
Alien: 96/100
Avatar: 89/100
Children of Men: 80/100
Inception: 94/100
Moon: 73/100
V for Vendetta: 87/100
Star Trek (J J Abrams): 93/100
Source Code: 82/100
Monsters: 65/100
Minority Report: 91/100
Battle: Los Angeles 62/100
Seems pretty arbitrary. Children of Men and Moon get 80 and 73 while fucking Star Trek gets 93?
What would you be willing to do, to get your ratings?
Thats aboot what Alien got on RT, and so out of curiosity I looked at who was the putz who gave Alien a bad review.
And it was some Christian movie review sight who’s basic complaint was that it was not appropriate for children.
BTW @ that list,
Moon was better then that.
It was slow though.
Inception was boring to me.
Although it was much more kinetic then Moon, the forced artistic pretensions made it seem much slower.
The Prestige is my favorite Nolan movie, and its nowhere near perfect.
But it seems to encapsulate my impression of all Nolan movies.
Really nice looking and you can see the effort on the screen, but there is more effort to see then results.
Like someone trying really hard at karaoke, and they’re hitting all the notes, but they just dont have a very good voice.
jj abrams = whedon (=cameron)
Appalling list. Star Trek and Inception ranking higher than Children of Men and Moon? I don’t want to live on this world anymore.
This reminds me how many bad reviews Alien got when it came out. A lot of big name critics have had to eat their words. Seriously, read this:
http://alienseries.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/bad-alien-reviews.html
It wasn’t until later that “respectable” critics were as willing to be seen liking Sci-fi or Horror.
It was (and often still is) considered juvenile and kinda slummy.
And most critics are generally reactionary and are just trying to tell people what they think they want to hear.
We all know how they treated BR and the thing, until years later.
I think critics back then were more pretentious. They thought horror movies had to mean something and be all about character development, story and underlying themes to be of any worth. As Scott says Alien is just about scaring you, there is nothing intellectual about it.
Cuidado HUDSON:
No eres el unico español en este foro.
Para decir tonterias, mejor te callas
Yikes, it’s now at 55. So apparently two BFCA members have submitted their ratings: one gave a 90, the other a 20.
This may be a love-it-or-hate it movie.
If a point is worthy of carrying out its price doing perfectly.
