Now it is 65% on Rotten Tomatoes, and 58 on Metacritic. I respect Metacritic. I say this though: Do not listen to the critics. Critics give the film positive and negative reviews but most are comparing the film to the LOTR films and the Hobbit book. This is unfair. Critics should just judge the film, not how faithful it was to the book. I'm ok with the criticism of the 48 fps thing. You should watch the film and make your own judgement.
Oh, and it's 8.6/10 on IMDB.

Now down to 42% on RT, good and rotten. Only four percentage points above The Phantom Menace!

I'm lovin' it.
