If RT is going to advertise a time for the score reveal, they should really get their site working.

I really like the Youtube channel "Beyond the Trailer"...she is calling Aquaman the best DC movie since The Dark Knight...Removed the video, didn't realize the creator was a crazy person?
She is racist. She has a history of attacking black people and thus got banned from era.

Do not ever ever watch her channel. It is racist trash. she is in the same camp as PewDiePie in terms of spreading alt-right and racist propaganda

Is there a review thread? Chicago Tribune:
https://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/movies/sc-mov-aquaman-rev-1211-story.html

Already a huge hit in China, "Aquaman" opens this week in North America, riding a wave of "yeah, not too bad … kinda fun" praise from various quarters. Reports of its not-badness turn out to be cruelly misleading. Watching this movie is like getting trapped in a Wisconsin Dells waterpark, over a long weekend. Without a bartender in sight.

Watching this movie is like spending two hours and 27 minutes staring at a gigantic aquarium full of digital sea creatures and actors on wires, pretending to swim.

1.5/4 stars.

Midgar, With Love
So wait? If I a movie doesn't get in the high 80s you write it off?

I'm not even much of a superhero genre fan, so yeah, I've got plenty else to do with my time than bother with films that receive such middling receptions.

That said, I guess I'll keep up with fan reactions, too. Maybe this is one of those awkward moments where there's a huge divide and Era folks whose opinions I generally trust tell me I ought to go see it anyway.

70% area is pretty damn good, higher than my predicted 56%.

I am hyped to see this now

From the Chicago Tribune review:
The designs. Over in the Marvel Studios realm, "Black Panther" proved a triumph of production, costume, digital and practical design collaboration. Wakanda became a place you wanted to explore. In "Aquaman" the underwater kingdoms look like "Avatar" threw up all over "The Incredible Mister Limpet."

Don't they have to have the reviews posted first by the original sources before it can be posted to RT? The whole tatometer reveal is pointless when they have to wait for others to post their reviews. They are basically stating the embargo is lifting but it really has nothing to do with RT

Yeah, duder. I didn't know that and edited my post so as to not promote her content. I got the message.

site isn't even updating properly. I'm still stuck at 72% 29 reviews.

A poster above is seeing 78% and 37 reviews. It'll probably be a bit before it actually updates like it's supposed to.

'Watching this movie is like spending two hours and 27 minutes staring at a gigantic aquarium full of digital sea creatures and actors on wires, pretending to swim.'

Can't stand this kind of thinking. Suspension of disbelief ?
I think a professional critic for a major newspaper who has done this for decades understands the concept of suspension of disbelief, especially when they've gone on to praise other fantasy movies that require it.
