I had never seen any Robin Hood movie before seeing Men in Tights and I still loved it.

This movie had the courage to star a woman with a spectacular body and face in a leading role and in doing so they are giving young girls everywhere a strong role model. I hope this sets a new trend in Hollywood where gorgeous sexy women get the respect they deserve!

Everyone reads the Rotten Tomatoes score as a quality score out of 100, but that's not how it works and it's frustrating to constantly see people make that mistake.

All it means is that 94% of critics thought Wonder Woman was "good."

You go gently caress yourself. I love Men in Tights. I guess it helps that even though I'm only 30, my dad is 77 and I've seen Errol Flynn's Adventures of Robin Hood a few times. Also that I absolutely adore Disney's Robin Hood. That is probably my 2nd fav Disney film. First being Sword in the Stone.

Lol gently caress you.

I watched Men in Tights back when I was a teenager and fought it was really funny. Then I watched it many years later with someone who had never seen it and we just had to turn it off.

Blazing Saddles is great though, one of my teachers showed it in English class. That was pretty funny.

I do appreciate that there's finally a female action/superhero in movies. It only took my entire lifetime to see a proper one (the catwoman-esque ones really dont count). That is a pretty decent milestone

I dont think any of the superheroes are good rolemodels for anyone though

Here is a totally scientific and aggressive freshness to critic score chart. If only half of them think a movie is "good", it's garbage. If 99/100 think it is fresh, the movie gets a ten. Wonder Woman gets 6.7.

Mel does it well, Chaplin did it well, using nazi imagery in non comedies is more fraught as actual nazis may think it's pretty badass (see: american history X)

American History X is pretty great, but it's hard to watch when you know that actual neo-Nazis treat it like their answer to Fight Club.

See also Fight Club, but replace Nazis with generic angry young suburban white men and frat bros.

To break this down for my goonbas, that means that out of a hundred critics, 76 of them thought it was... Average. And the other 34 liked it a lot. . :eng101:

If white supremacists get American History X, white middle-class kids get Fight Club, and white Irish Americans get Boondock Saints, what movie do white milquetoast progressive liberal-arts major guys get?

There's also the part where the fat guy from Mallrats sings a racist song, and they probably look up to that guy because he's just like them.

Metacritic parses reviews more than rottentomatoes if you're looking for that. I think it requires guesswork on Metacritic's part though for the reviewers who don't give stars/grades. Wonder Woman's got a 76 on there.

3/4 or 4/5 stars sounds about right.
