30:7 ratio.... They really should add a more accurate ratio of positive reviews.. They have like all of the negatives, but a third of the positives. Bahhhh. But ohhh well. Deathly Hallow is going to be the definition of "kick-ass." (:
Victoria didn't justify why the film was horrible.
You should note that Victoria Alexander is a twilight fan (no offense to the Twifans here). She gave Knight and Day and the Takers a higher grade than Social Network. So I'm not taking her seriously.
83% again, an idiot is comparing it with twilight for god sakes!
"The self-perpetuating mythology continues, and darn if it isn't resembling the Twilight saga. That is, if Edward ate once in a while and wore glasses, and Jacob was a ginger-haired mouth breather. Hermione and Bella are pretty much interchangeable. "

It's one thing to not like a film, but to call something like this "dreadful?" Please. David Yates has no clue how to make something "dreadful."
A dreadful film is Van Helsing, or The Final Destination. I believe her basic terminology seems to be quite skewed and could use some work. Paid critics are supposed to have a basic fundamental idea of language; how to use words, how to use words properly, form coherent sentences, and so on. Alexander doesn't quite seem to practice such traits and should, effective immediately, turn in her right to free speech.

That idiot is from our local paper and he is the biggest jerk. My friend at work reads his reviews and if he hates a movie she knows she'll love it. I couldn't believe he wrote that.

I find it hilarious and yet infuriating that so many people feel the need to compare Harry Potter and Twilight. Only people who know nothing about HP attempt to do such a thing. Honestly, I think they are going into this movie with so many false expectations (i.e. its intention is to deliver a film in the likeness of Twilight) that it goes totally and completely over their heads. Which is fine: I want DH to go over completely idiots' heads.
Harry Potter is nothing like Twilight and vice-versa. I'm not even bashing Twilight here or using this as an excuse to do so. I don't need an excuse to bash Twilight; Stephenie Meyer provided me with hundreds upon hundreds of pages filled to the brim with excuses to bash Twilight. However, the only thing in common that Potter has to Twilight is that it's a strong component of pop-culture, but so is Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and other franchises. Proclaiming that Harry Potter is anything like Twilight-- and I mean anything like it-- is nothing but an attempt (a successful attempt) at making your idiocy public.
I think some specific ignorant people feel that just by being on the market, they are directly competing... In my experience the fan bases for Potter and Twilight are usually very different. On top of that, the material is not comparable, so I agree with you. I'd say Harry Potter is more like Lord of the Rings, but even then I would not compare them as some people indeed do. (I say they are similar because Lord of the Rings pretty much changed the fantasy genre forever, and inspired many authors in many different ways.)
RT consensus: "It can't help but feel like the prelude it is, but Deathly Hallows: Part I is a beautifully filmed, emotionally satisfying penultimate installment for the Harry Potter series."
There are only about 50 reviews left to count. Right now DH1 has the same number of rotten ones as HBP does, which means it most likely will not pass 83%. It would only be at 83% if all new reviews are positive, which is unlikely. I am predicting 80%.
And it doesn't help when you've got plebs saying that the "acting was awful" and then comparing it to Twilight, with the review making it onto the RT website under "Rotten". I mean, you can't call those reviews!! It disgusts me. Why can't they all just discuss the quality of the film ?

GO DH, GO!!
GO DH, GO.

41 fresh. 9 rotten.
A stupid woman called Victoria Alexander added a rotten review. The bottom line? "Dreadful. Horrible acting. Only for Potter fanatics."

From 66%, it got up to 70%
This is another improvement. It will eventually go up by Friday. I hope so
45 fresh. 9 rotten.
