I'm been interested by this one all year. Now the reviews are buzzing. Anyone else going to see it?

 

[DesiPower]

wooooaaaahhhh 91/97!!! wow, dude is baak. Oblivion had 54/61 and I still dug it, count me IN

 

[Ns1]

damn, got a screening tonight I won't be able to make

 

[smackababy]

It is rated pretty high. I was going to see it, I don't mind Tom Cruise most of the time and Emily Blunt is worth seeing in anything (preferably in nothing at all >_<).

Kind of a silly concept, which I hope they address a lot better than in the trailers.

 

[BeeBoop]

It hasn't been out for an entire weekend yet. Why would you guys even consider these early reviews? I'm going to see it just because Tom Cruise doesn't make a bad movie.

 

[PricklyPete]

Emily Blunt is yummy. Will definitely be checking out.

 

[AMDZen]

Groundhog day with lazers? Will prolly watch

Emily Blunt is watchable as well.

 

[Newell Steamer]

Emily Blunt? Yes please.

Ever since Looper, I have been madly in love with her.

 

[Imp]

Emily Blunt... hot, but I don't think I've ever watched one of her movies.

 

[slayer202]

wtf, 91%? trailers look like the typical action trash from recent years. hmmm

 

[blackdogdeek]

Lasers, explosions and Emily Blunt. These are all the ingredients required for me to watch a movie.

 

[clamum]

I was very interested when I first saw a teaser for it and am more-so now that it has such good reviews (granted it is early). I don't put too much weight in what critics and others say, but it's definitely not getting totally trashed so I'll most likely see it in theaters.

My exact sentiments. I hope it has better depth or just more exciting than the trailers.

 

[Ns1]

meh.. groundhog day w/guns

not seeing a problem with that.

 

[Printer Bandit]

this is the movie of the summer.

 

[Ns1]

[Thebobo]

WTH where is Morgan Freeman??

Why the hell are they calling it "Edge of Tomorrow?" I'd be lining up now to see "All You Need is Kill."

 

[AznAnarchy99]

I really need to stop going to IGN for my reviews. They gave this movie a 7.5.

New Title: Edge of Tomorrow
Old Title: All You Need Is Kill

Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt's upcoming action movie, in which Cruise plays a soldier with the ability to restart the day every time he dies, was long known as All You Need Is Kill, which is also the title of the book on which the movie is based. But filmmakers revised the title feeling that the original, with the word "kill," was too problematic.

"I think the word 'kill' in a title is very tricky in today's world," producer Edwin Stoff told The Hollywood Reporter at Edge of Tomorrow's New York premiere. "I don't know that people want to be bombarded with that word. I don't know that people want to be opening the newspaper and seeing that word. We see it enough in real newspaper headlines, and I don't think we need to see it when we're looking at a movie."

Based on a Japanese military-centric science fiction graphic novel entitled “All You Need is Kill,” the studio made the switch to the title “Edge of Tomorrow” nearly a year after the project was announced, in part because “there was a lot of negative chatter about having a movie with the word ‘kill’ in the title,” Sue Kroll, Warner Bros. president, worldwide marketing and international distribution, told Variety. The studio introduced the new title at San Diego Comic-Con 2013.

Yeah, the word "kill" is definitely something you don't want to see at the movies. I mean, sure, you have examples like Kill Bill or The Killing or A Time to Kill, but those are from YEARS ago. It's not like we have movie titles like "Kill the Messenger" or "3 Days to Kill" or "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" in 2014... Actually, maybe he's right about getting beaten over the head with the word "kill." But fuck that, "All You Need is Kill" is so vastly superior to "Edge of Tomorrow," regardless of how much media beats you over the head with killing.

Also, is it just a touch ironic that a producer has a problem titling his work "kill" but absolutely no problem showing tons of killing throughout the film? "Yeah, there's a lot of killing taking place in it, but we aren't beaten you over the head with it in the TITLE for God's sake..." That's the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard.

Sounds watchable.

I really need to stop going to IGN for my reviews. They gave this movie a 7.5.

Actually the average critic rating on Rotten Tom is 7.4/10 atm, so that's pretty close to how other critics feel about the movie. The 90% critic approval is just a straight up "Thumbs up or Down?" question posed to critics. To most critics a 7.4 out of ten is probably going to constitute a thumbs up, even if it isn't The Godfather.

Looks watchable.
