Light reaction outside Spidey.
My audience clapped at the end. Very few people seemed to react in any way during the movie though. About half left before the first credits scene.

That's about what I would give it. 7.5-7.8 range seems about right.
Yeah I think that's a very respectable range for franchise blockbuster action movies. The >8 range always seemed too high, so it's balancing out now I guess.
My theater went insane at the airport scene and even gave it a standing ovation as every applauded at the end.
7.5-7.8 is very high for any action movie that's not Fury Road. In the 8 range is something truly special. In the 9 range is like once a decade type shit.

That was incredible guys. My new favorite MCU movie. Even at about 2.5 hrs it never overstayed its welcome. I was on edge the whole time. Well written and well paced.

Badass flick. I give it a Deadpool/10.

I was reading a handful of reviews on RT today (mostly rotten ones), and there were several negative comments about Panther. There wasn't much praise for Boseman in what I saw.

The fuck.
Well, that's crazy talk. Boseman was very much on point.
Good point. Going by the trailer, it looks there was a Carbon Monoxide leak on the set of the new X-Men movie.

That's what I figure, but they go out of their way to downplay their efforts. Mind you I haven't seen the film yet, so I can't say anything myself, but what some reviewers were saying goes against what many others have been.
I believe one exact quote was "Boseman is as dull as kitty litter".
Lol
I liked the character a lot. I just thought having an existing film for him would have benefited more than Spiderman having one.
I loved his beginning and end. The middle portions with him were not as positive just because the audience doesn't fully understand the character yet.
He was fine. Glad he is taking a break from biopic films for a hot moment.
Huge - the crowd was super into it.
Yep. Metacritic is very open about the fact that they put "positive" at a higher end of the scale for video games because game review scores are so inflated.
Man that is really depressing. That literally destroys the whole point of scaling then. If there is no consistency then what is the point?
I mean, 10 Cloverfield Lane is 76 there and GTA 4 is at 98. How the heck does that make sense? Ignore that they are two different mediums, GTA 4 got good reviews when it came out (although I and several others thought it was overrated) yet 10 Cloverfield Lane, an AMAZING movie (even with a controversial ending it is an amazing movie albeit not perfect) does over 20 points less.
Like people have said, points and scoring system shouldn't matter on people's judgements on movies. Having said that, I have never liked Meteoritic. Horrible rating system when it comes to movies at least.
