GB 2016:ATC Cover

It was revealed that this is what the 4k release cover should look like:

Sony should hire someone who knows how to use photoshop.

So are they trying to stand on their own? or ride the coattails of Ghostbusters? Because that quote and that synopsis seems like the latter. Out of all the quotes and reviews that the movie had – that is the one the marketing guru’s decide to slap on the box?

That certified fresh stamp…how desperate.

Well, I’m sure Sony paid good money for all those lukewarm reviews, so.

To throw some positive mood slime around here:

How about imdb votes that generate a median of 7?

But as this was already discussed with Richardless and he agreed a lot of regular people gave the movie a 7+ why are you just rehashing that old gripe again?

Also, regarding the ‘desperate fresh rating’: a lot of well received movies use that, as you can see here:

Probably trying to reassure fans who are still hyperventilating that their favorite movies have been “erased.”

Really excited to get my copy!

So I’m not the only one that thinks Kristen looks exceptionally hot in all the promo images?

I was afraid to say anything because of the sexism thing leaning so far the other way, but daaayum!

“Make em hard!”

I did laugh at the “certified fresh on rotten tomatoes” logo on the front of the cover. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that on a DVD before.

They should have just went with this:

Here, I fixed it:

Looks like I have to repost this about the user ratings. It explains the user votes from IMDb instead of RT but I think the same rules apply.

You should delve a bit deeper in the numbers behind that outcome of 5.5/10.

It has a median of 7 for instance.

Look how many people voted a 10 or a 1. Both are considered biased votes in my opinion: I think if we remove those from the equation we can get a much more fair number.

All of a sudden the number 6,7,8 stand out in the reviews, with even the 9 having more percentage then the negative votes.

Blah blah blah. RT has Spaceballs at 54%. There goes their credentials. They wouldn’t know a fresh tomato if I hit them in the temple with it.

The example I used are from user votes, not reviews from critics.

(And RT just combines critic reviews into a percentage. It does not create the reviews.)

Bottom line, both audience and critics liked the movie.

I’m just saying that these scores really don’t mean anything to most people. It’s just funny that they’re toting that mediocre score on the damn cover.

It’s like if your kid comes home with a C and you frame it on the wall like a trophy.

Paulie got a C in classic film adaptations! Atta boy! Who wants ice cream?

When most of your classmates got an F, that C- starts looking pretty good. :wink:

Come on, you’ve seen Summer School!

As a straight C student, maybe I should be more sympathetic…

Naaaah!

I only got C’s in Handwriting. And then, you know, I learned how to type. :eyeroll:

Which is why I showed you the user votes. They agree with the critics the movie earned it’s fresh certificate, which quite a lot of other well received movies have on their DVD covers as well.

I had the same conversation with featofstrength and he agreed it even his favorites (Mad Max, Creed) have them.

You don’t need charts and graphs to tell good art from bad art.

From the looks of certain other stats, more people had the good sense to stay far away from that section of the theater.

I couldn’t agree more.

Or they just didn’t like a trailer and therefore missed out.

It is bothering you guys waaaay too much that some people actually liked this movie. Move on. Take up a real cause in life.
