Brit, you make some good points and I agree with a lot of them. I don\\\'t think it\\\'s too early to stamp this one with SoBadItsHorrible just yet, and calling it \\\"Realy bad\\\" is just kinda immature.

However, I do think (and I believe from your comments above that you at least partially do as well) that once the dust has settled then we can and should something about the critical reception of the film, whether it be SoCoolItsAwesome to YourMileageMayVary to SoBadItsHorrible. While it\\\'s true that there are very few references to RottenTomatos on other film pages, most of them do describe the perceived quality of the film by the general public, especially if they are films intended to be blockbusters and have come out in the last few years (in the age of widespread internet reviews and review aggregator sites). When RT is mentioned it\\\'s usually because the score is either obscenely high or ludicrously low. As you said, a bit too early for this one.

I do take issue with the phrase \\\"the film is either warmly received or violently hated.\\\" It\\\'s basically a more wordy and less eloquent version of LoveItOrHateIt (which has been deleted in the past when it was added to the page) and is rather misleading, implying that there is both a sizable \\\"love it\\\" group and \\\"hate it\\\" group for this movie. If YourMileageMayVary gets deleted, I don\\\'t see why this one should stay.

EDIT: I understand why we try to keep too many opinions off the main page. To prevent flamewars and all. And that\\\'s a good reason. However, the critical consensus of a work isn\\\'t an opinion. A phrase like \\\"the film received generally positive/negative/mixed reviews\\\" is fact (assuming its true). But again, could be a bit too early. Let the dust settle first.
