In Reply to: 97% of the country's top critics reviewed it favorably... posted by sjb on August 8, 2007 at 18:13:55:
...a review by majority decision! Of a bunch of wannabe (not "top") major critics.
And by the way, that incredible-looking "97% favorable" designation masks the reality of an 8.2 out of 10 average, i.e. four stars out of five. Not bad, but not a grand slam either.
Myself, I go for what Anthony Lane, or Ty Burr, or Duncan Shepherd, or James Verniere, say, might say -- these guys' approaches to film are already well-known to me.
Finally, I did not write it was a *bad* movie, only that it did *very efficiently* what it set out to do, which wasn't much; and there were major lapses in the plotting.
