As most will know, Rotten Tomato bases its averages for movie reviews off of a national list of movie critics.

At 91% it has received better opening acclaim than:
88% Inside Man
75% V For Vendetta
77% Munich
84% King Kong- Oscar
76% The Chronicles- Oscar
89% Harry Potter an...
83% Walk the Line- Oscar
76% Crash- Oscar

Slither was just released today. It is FAR too early to start comparing its tomatometer to all of those other movies which mostly, have been released a LONG while ago, or at least have had a decent run in the box office so far (Vendetta, Inside Man) and therefore have a full archieve of reviews. Slither (as of now) has 37. The others have at least, 140. The ratio is way too wide for any sort of comparing.

I do think with its current ratio, the tomato-meter will remain quite high but I think its unjust to compare its current percentages to those movies' full database of reviews. I've seen movies, in the high 90's go down at least 10% in a week.

But of all the movies opening that have just around the same number of reviews. Slither is doing the best BY FAR.

92% Slither
64% ATL
63% Ice Age: The Meltdown
10% Basic Instinct 2: Risk Addic...
64% Brick

On the subject of Slither, does anyone know if the actor who played the Sheriff in The Train Job is also in the movie? I've only seen the trailor, but I'm sure that I saw him...

69 is good at Metacritic, it's a lot more than most of the current movies. Mediocre is anything less than 60.

Serenity got 74 which is very good, probably top 10%.

I noticed that, too (haven't seen the movie yet), and posted in two other Slither threads here that I saw the sheriff...

Glad someone could confirm this!

Slither earns $1,500,000 friday and looks to earn about $4 million in it's first weekend of release.

Not too great :(

If I remember correctly Serenity earnt $4 million on the Friday and $10 million over the weekend.

edit- but I just remembered that Alan is in Ice Age 2, so great news for him, as that reached an incredible $22 million of Friday.

I never go by the critics reviews
The majority of them want movies like Brokeback Mountain and other controversial movies in their good list.
I go by what entertains me and gives me an escape from the "real world"

A sign of a good movie is one that the director will actually sit down and enjoy and enjoy it with a crowd. Lucas , Speilbeg, and Ridley Scott do this and the majority of the time they succeed

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

I just got back from seeing it. Not as good as I hoped after seeing all of the rave reviews, but still very entertaining. Nathan was fantastic, of course, but it probably won't due very well overall. There was only 10 or 12 people in the theatre for the matinee. The first time I saw Serenity, at that same time, there was 30 people there.

But I hope it does well.
