I ran across this very succinct review of the above movie, and well, I thought it was worth sharing. From the pen of Richard Roeper: Wow. What a piece of garbage. And then I went to Rotten Tomatoes and discovered that of the reviews it has gotten, only 9 percent of the 13 critics that were allowed to see it liked it. NINE PERCENT! That means Expelled is only 4% more watchable than The Hottie and the Nottie.
Of course, I also happened to look up another movie that was opening this week, and well, I think it is a better bet for your movie-going dollar. The name escapes me at the moment, but I do remember that there was also a Black Sabbath song with the same name and it stars an Oscar nominee. What's it called? Ferrous Male?
Oh that's right... Iron Man. I wonder what that has on Rotten Tomatoes at the moment.
Hmmm... a 96% approval rating from 112 reviews. Well, that sounds like a high number. Does it sound like a high number to you?
But then again, the people behind Iron Man actually wanted to show their movie to the critics, because, you know... they were proud of their work and weren't afraid to have public scrutiny before it opened to a wider audience. I am trying to think of a movie that was released recently that didn't have critics screenings that I liked, and you know what... I can't think of one. It is just a bad sign all around.
