Million Dollar Baby: 100% at RT

[Zebo]

What kind of site if this rottentomatoes.com when they somehow think "(FRESH = 60% or Greater) "? When I was in school 60% was an F as in failing, or was it 59?, eiher way we have dropped to a striaght B being it's 84% now... I can only assume it will drop futher once the indy critics come in who have more autonomy to tell the truth about sap laden garbage. Like this one http://www.boulderweekly.com/screen.html

yea, its not always a good indicator of anything, just a general guide. sometimes critics seem to jump on bandwagons.. director worship and such.

Great movie, saw it over the weekend and it kept me intrigued throughout. Highly recommend it to those who haven't seen it yet.

Nah what for I read reviews I trust

I must announce my disappointment. Far from the masterpiece it has been proclaimed, this is nothing more than a cheap B-movie with an A-list director; a string of clichés and predictable plot twists so nakedly obvious that one wonders how everyone involved kept a straight face. In fact, take away the big names and you'd have a straight-to-video non-entity that would never see the light of any self-respecting critic's top ten

The Passion of the Christ

I won't be the first to offer such an opinion, but it never becomes less accurate -- Mel Gibson's S&M flesh-feast is at once the most homoerotic, anti-Semitic, and unnecessarily violent film ever made. That, and it's boring, monotonous, and painfully earnest, although hyper-stylized to separate it from the more uptight Ben-Hur school. While I find its theological underpinnings vile and medieval, it simply isn't good cinema, as it fails to push beyond the "shocking" imagery of watching a stud-in-arms get whipped, gouged, smacked, and kicked with gleeful abandon. Gibson may indeed be richer as a result, but he didn't get the pogrom he so obviously desired.

Yeah, with quality reviews like that, who wouldn't trust his opinion?

That said, until you've seen it I don't think you're qualified to speak in a thread reviewing it.

Really? I saw it two weeks ago and was really dissapointed. I thought Freeman had the only interesting character and that, quite frankly, Clint was terrible. Swank was okay I guess, but I thought the movie was boring and the end went on waaay too long and was just terribly depressing for no good reason.

It was mediocre at best IMO.

What does that site do other than put just about every movie down? It reads like maddox, but for movies.
