RTB: RottenTomatoBot takes on the critics who were not sufficiently enthusiastic about the new Avengers movie!

This Friday, the dreams of every single diehard comic book fan who has ever lived will finally come to fruition, when a little movie called THE AVENGERS opens in the United States. Maybe you’ve heard of this film. It’s only going to be the BIGGEST and the GREATEST film ever made! And it’s not just the so-called “fanboys” who are excited. Critics have given the film an overwhelmingly positive response (the Avengers Tomatometer is currently at 94%).

Most critics, that is. A select few have decided to play the troll and unfairly criticize this masterpiece of cinema. How do I know their criticism is unfair? Because ANY criticism of this film is unfair. And even if there are only a handful of these unfair reviews, they could still derail this film, that only has about a squillion dollars worth of marketing and licensing behind it, and only about 100% total population awareness. Thankfully, RottenTomatoBot isn’t afraid to stand up and protect this film, with his withering and biting comments on these negative reviews. Below we see the RottenTomatoBot standing up for each member of the Avengers, with RTB’s dialogue taken directly (verbatim, misspellings included!) from Rotten Tomatoes Avengers critics message boards and from these comments sections over at the New York Post.

Ricky Sprague occasionally writes and/or draws things. He sometimes animates things. He has a Twitter account and he has a blog. He scripted this graphic novel about Kolchak The Night Stalker. He is really, really good at putting links in bios.

  1. So true–I always assume when a new movie has 100 percent approval (even temporarily) it must be competent yet bland: greatness tends to cause some offense when it first presents itself.

  2. Ricky, I really don’t take advance promotions and reviews seriously … except YOURS, of course!
    :-)

    Although I must admit that I already LOVE at least three seconds in the film – or, at least, the trailers – where Loke says’I have an army,’ and Tony Starke responds, ‘we have a Hulk.’

    So how long till the comics come out with a ‘Before-Before Avengers’ franchise?
