The official Borat Movie Thread

[JustSteel]

Borat is going to be the guest on the Daily Show tonight.

The Reviews it is getting are incredible.

95% on Rotten Tomatoes and 90 on Metacritic, Metacritc being the more impressive number of the two.

A 90 on Metacritic is pretty much incredible. Rather then rattle off recent movies because I do not know what you liked and didn't, look here:

Poke around and see what other films you may like are rated.

The recent reviews are on the left hand side.


Here is the main page of Rotten tomatoes:

Rotten Tomatoes

You can see that many movies do not even come close to a 95%. I put more credence in Metacritc because it uses a better grading system and more well known critics but both are good.



Edit: Right now Borat is the 36 rated movie ever on Metacritic. Take that for what it is worth. The movie review industry is substantially different now. However, that is an awesome rating for a flick. Also keep in mind there are still quite a few reviews that have not posted yet.

Not since the halcyon days of Archie Bunker and "All in the Family" has so sharp a wit punctured so many balloons.

If this movie is half as funny as some of the classic "All In the Family" episodes I'll be LMAO.

Talented Mr. Ripley only got a 76. This is my tester movie to see if a scale is accurate. Boo.

Also the search on Rotten Tomatos yields this:

You do know that it tally's up the ratings from the certified reviewers.

All it is saying is the Talented Mr. Ripley received a favorable rating from 76% of the reviewers. It is not like there is any bias. So seriously what's your point? That the critics are not good?

LOL join the club.
