Heading to see it in a few days. I always say I hate paying attention to the critics but I still do, and it has been slipping on RT. Down to 69% currently.

That being said, I think it's really hard for critics to be accurate with comic book movies, especially with what I expect from a comic book movie. I feel like we're after two different things.

I'm looking for a comic book movie that represents the comics, represents but doesn't just mirror. I think they are looking for a comic book movie that competes with other movies of other genres.

I mean, for example The Dark World finished at 66%.. I just can't fathom a world where a new version of Thor directed by Waititi could be in the same ball park as TDW.. obviously Love and Thunder still has a 100 critics or so to go though.
