Only 13 reviews so far, 11 positive. The reviewers seem pretty unknown though.

I wonder how this movie will go, I thought it would flop. Oh well, I'll have to wait.

In other news, District 9 is 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, with only 8 reviews.

Thoughts?

I think both of them will drop once they're actually released.

Thats actually a good percentage because most movies you see on rotten tomatoes are usually like 20 percent fresh. Thats awesome. I actually thought this movie was going to be pure stupidity but the commercials look pretty badass.

Agreed with you, disagreed with the guy above you. Personally, I never really liked the commercials. I thought the dialogue was pretty cheesy, hopefully I'm wrong. I know, i'm going to have alot of fun watching D9 first day. :)

13 isn't very many reviews, but 11 of them being positive is still a surprise for this movie.

It only has 13 reviews because they are afriad to show the film to most critics which usually means that they studio thinks it will be ripped apart. I think by the time it comes out that 85% will most likely go down a lot. From the commercials it looks really bad.

I think both movies look mediocre and I'm not going to see either until they come out on blu-ray.

That body switch comedy with Zack Efron was 90% at 15 reviews, when it released it dropped a ton. It happens all too often, if there arent at least 30 reviews on newer movies then your just counting your chickens before they hatch.

When I first saw the preview for it I thought it was Halo, but then it said Gi Joe. Then I said to my friend, this is gonna flop.

Yeah, I assume that it will immediately plummet as soon as critics get their hands on it.

Well this film might go the same way transformers did, it'll make money the critics will trash it but it will make them money, but actually im thinking it could be decent and will make some good movie just because it's Gi joe

Actually, District 9 isn't a Peter Jackson movie. It's a Neil Blankomp (or Blankoff, Blopkoff, or something equally funny-sounding) movie.

I have a feeling that I got the name wrong, but I'm pretty sure Peter Jackson is only a producer. Sort of like when Hostel came out, and all the ads kept saying stuff like "Quentin Tarantino presents Hostel". Just to confuse people into thinking it was a Quentin Tarantino movie so that they'd buy a ticket.+

But yeah, Peter Jackson isn't directing District 9, and it's this Blopkomp guy's first movie.

IGN gave GI Joe a 3.5 and basically explained that the movies will not explain anything like how they can build these huge bases, or made all the weird technology. They just do and you just cant over think it. I want to see it mostly for the Snake Eyes sword fight lol. But im not going to see it until probably Tuesday when ticket prices are like 6.25.

It will drop once more reviews come in, but so far it has really fooled me. I was expecting somewhere around the 20s. District 9 on the other hand looks awesome.

Yeah I seriously thought that G.I. Joe would be panned by critics just like Transformers 2 was. But when it actually comes out it will probably drop. Wolverine had a 100% with around the same number of reviews and dropped to a mere 37% when it came out.

District 9 looks pretty promising though.

Yeah this movie will rock. I hate it when these G.I Joe fanboys say the movie will suckand will look nothing like the cartoon when they haven't even seen it. They expect it to be corny like it was back then. I've seen a few episodes and if they made it like that, this movie would not be taken seriously.

The one thing I wanted to see in GI Joe was Snake eyes vs Storm Shadow, but I have this feeling it will be about as un-epic as Iceman vs Pyro..so..dunno if I want to be disappointed or not.

The former will surely drop, but don't be surprised if not by much. The latter has a good chance to surpass The Hurt Locker for best reviewed film for the year. Yes, the hype, buzz and positive reaction to it from geeks and non-geeks alike from The Con is real.

Seems like an action film with little substance. District 9 on the other hand seems like a lot more interesting movie. You could practically predict the entire G I Joe movie before seeing it, so whats the point.
