The critics on Rotten Tomatoes were not thrilled with it but over 90% of the people liked it. As usual the critics were full of crap and are just self important blowhards. It was two hours of entertainment, some good laughs and fun. I won't do any spoilers but I highly recommend seeing it. I know the Beatles are more my generation but still worth seeing for everyone IMO. #Post#: 687-------------------------------------------------- Re: Yesterday By: Mrceagle Date: June 29, 2019, 12:58 am --------------------------------------------------------- I can see being critical about things like art direction or saying weather or not a movie feels low or long. but I often find Critics find no joy is good story telling an a simple enjoyable concept. #Post#: 691-------------------------------------------------- Re: Yesterday By: depotrat Date: June 29, 2019, 4:31 am --------------------------------------------------------- That was my point. I don't go to the theater expecting an academy award winner every time. I go looking for 2 hours of entertainment for my $. This film easily met that standard. So my message is, don't listen to the critics, go see it and you will be glad you did. #Post#: 698-------------------------------------------------- Re: Yesterday By: Mrceagle Date: June 29, 2019, 2:59 pm --------------------------------------------------------- I find most academy movies a bit dull. Looks like review wise the moves is gettinga bit mroe love as mre see it Wikipedia Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 61% based on 200 reviews, with an average rating of 6.4/10. The site's critical consensus reads: "Yesterday may fall short of fab, but the end result is still a sweetly charming fantasy with an intriguing—albeit somewhat under-explored—premise."[28] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 55 out of 100, based on 35 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[29] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A−" on an A+ to F scale, while those at PostTrak gave it an overall positive score of 87% and a 63% "definite recommend". It's not highly rated but on the upper half. I think one think that might make some be overly critical is this is one of many Movies using the same music. #Post#: 699-------------------------------------------------- Re: Yesterday By: depotrat Date: June 29, 2019, 4:43 pm --------------------------------------------------------- The gap between the people and the critics is massive right now. Critics 60% People 91%. 31% more people liked it over critics! And that is my point - go with the people not the stick up the butt, no fun ever, self important jerk, critics! #Post#: 1329-------------------------------------------------- Re: Yesterday By: dellice45 Date: October 21, 2019, 9:27 pm --------------------------------------------------------- I stopped listening to critics a long time ago though I became one basically reviewing haunts lol still this is a movie I want to check out! It looked fun in the trailers *****************************************************
