After the premiere of "Edge of Tomorrow", the famous film critic Roger Ebert published his own short review in the "Chicago Sun".

"For a commercial film, Paul Greengrass infuses his own character, with fast and sharp editing and crisp and tight pacing, which makes the viewing process full of engaging pleasure and joy, while Ranley Hall's lifelike, weighty performance gives the film a more mature character, finding a balance between business and art, and most importantly, his chemistry with other supporting actors makes the whole film brilliant. ”

Not just a short review, in fact, Roger also wrote a long review on his official website, placing "Edge of Tomorrow" and "Groundhog Day" together, comparing and discussing each other in depth, really talking about the topic of reincarnation, and on the basis of Daisy Lucas, he further discussed the core theme of the movie.

At the end of the long review, Roger wrote, "In fact, this is a film about life, about growth, about destiny, and the director skillfully pinned all the artistic discussions on the actors, and then concentrated on shooting a popcorn commercial movie." Apparently, the director succeeded. ”

From short reviews to long reviews, Roger evaluated "Edge of Tomorrow" with the highest treatment, and finally made a summary with a super high specification of 90 points, and gave a four-star perfect recommendation index, even exceeding the biggest hit "Avengers" this summer, which can be seen from the praise and praise of this authoritative film critic.

Including Roger Ebert, after the premiere ended, 43 media gave comments for the first time, 39 praised, 4 reviews, and zero negative reviews, all of which were praised, which also made the "Edge of Tomorrow" media comprehensive review come to 81 points in one go, completely detonating the summer file of 2012.

Eighty-one points, a full eighty-one points!

In a longitudinal comparison, the media comprehensive evaluation of the classic "Groundhog Day" of the same genre is 71 points, and among the commercial films that have been recognized in recent years, "Inception" is 74 points, "Avatar" is 83 points, and "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight" is 82 points.

In horizontal comparison, the media comprehensive evaluation of several works so far in this year's summer file is: "The Avengers" 69 points, "The Hunger Games" 68 points, "Black Shadow" 55 points, "Men in Black 3" 58 points, "Snow White and the Hunter" 57 points.

After comparison, the position of "Edge of Tomorrow" is clear at a glance, this seems to be a commercial work comparable to "The Dark Knight" and "Avatar", and the latter two have exceeded $400 million at the North American box office, which really detonated the market, and at the same time, the latter two have both entered the competition for the awards season that year.

Although the box office results of "Edge of Tomorrow" are not known for the time being, it is certain that professional film critics will continue to be sought after!

In addition to professional film critics, the word-of-mouth of "Edge of Tomorrow" has also ushered in a full explosion, the freshness index of Rotten Tomatoes is as high as 95%, and the score has also come to 8.4 points, and the 295 media participated in the review and still maintain such a super high level, which is really commendable for commercial films, and once again reminds people of the "Avengers" that is being screened.

After the premiere ended, the media comprehensive review and the Rotten Tomatoes index were all the criteria for evaluating a movie, because the audience base was not enough, and other judging criteria were not available for the time being, but after the premiere weekend, "Edge of Tomorrow" also ushered in a full-scale explosion on top of other indicators.

IMDB's score actually came to an incredible 8.6 points, and the momentum bravely entered the list of 250 classic films, ranking among the top 30 strongly, temporarily landing in the 27th place, the front one is "very suspect", and the back one is "this killer is not too cold", the fierce momentum is simply jaw-dropping.

At the same time, the popcorn index on Rotten Tomatoes has delivered 98 percent of the answers, and the theater score has also received the highest level of "A+" - this is the second movie to get the highest score in theaters since the beginning of 2012 after "The Avengers".

In the whole of 2011, only six films got such a score, and only one appeared in two months on average!

The statistical object of the theater score is every ordinary audience who walks into the cinema, and their evaluation has the most intuitive and effective effect on the box office trend of commercial films, "A+" is almost equivalent to a full score, an impeccable full score, any movie that gets such a result, the future box office trend is worth looking forward to. By the way, the theatrical score of "Avatar" is "A".

From professional film critics to veteran fans, from popular film critics to ordinary audiences, "Edge of Tomorrow" has truly ushered in the popularity of word-of-mouth across the board, and this achievement has reached a new high in Lan Li's career, and also reached a new high for all other actors and crew! The momentum is even more ferocious than that of "The Avengers"!

Any redundancy is bleak, and simply listing all the ratings is the best deterrent and intimidating enough to make every competitor daunted.

In fact, the other two works in the super schedule fell behind and were completely suppressed.

"Prometheus", Media Review, 65 points, Rotten Tomatoes Index, 73 percent, 7 points, Popcorn Index, 68 percent, IMDB Score, 7 points, Theater Score, B.

"Madagascar 3", media review, 60 points, Rotten Tomatoes Index, 79 percent, rating 6.8 points, Popcorn Index, 73 percent, IMDB score, 6.9 points, theater score, A.

To sum it simply, "Prometheus" is relatively superior in professional reviews, while "Madagascar 3" is more affirmed among ordinary audiences.

The most likely outcome of this situation is that "Prometheus" is very similar to the trend of the "Alien" series, while "Madagascar 3" is not popular, which is basically in line with the trend of the first two films in the series.

However, the box office trend of the film market is elusive, and the paper calculation on paper still cannot be converted into box office figures after all. There are countless actual cases of outstanding word-of-mouth and actual hits the streets, or word-of-mouth smashing the pot and actual harvest, and in the final analysis, the conversion ratio of word-of-mouth and box office is elusive.

The competition for the three works of "Edge of Tomorrow", "Prometheus" and "Madagascar 3" is still unpredictable.

Despite this, after the hot comments from all sides, the media inevitably fried the pot!

Following the craze of the premiere, "Edge of Tomorrow" went to the next city, leading the media and audience word-of-mouth in an all-round way, especially the instant score of IMDB, which broke into the top 30 in a mighty way, which really made people see the powerful posture of "Inception" and "Dark Knight", which made people can't help but wonder, is this year Lanli going to enter the awards season with "Edge of Tomorrow"?

"Pirates of the Caribbean" did just that, earning Johnny Depp an Oscar nomination for Best Actor, and although he didn't win the award, he still wrote a brilliant book, and now, as the darling of the academy, Lan Li seems to be heading down this path, which is definitely the hottest spotlight this summer.

Step by step, the abyss of "Edge of Tomorrow", which has never been favored, reversed the situation little by little, first on top of the premiere, seizing the commanding heights of the topic, and then on top of the feedback word-of-mouth, with an absolute advantage. The powerful momentum is almost unstoppable, and it bursts out with the potential to soar into the sky.

This is really too exciting.

Just ten months ago, when the "Edge of Tomorrow" project was officially confirmed, Warner Bros. announced the actor candidate, and Lan Li became the final candidate, for which Lan Li also gave up the opportunity to perform in the sequel to "Fast and Exciting/Emotional", which caused countless controversies and discussions.

It is widely believed that this was a stupid choice, and a wrong choice, and they have accused Lan Li of seeing money and giving up the actor's insistence for the sake of a salary of 10 million dollars, which is undoubtedly a bad choice to bury his career, and some have even compared this decision to George Clooney in "Batman and Robin" and Ben Affleck in "Daredevil".

Now, after the official release of "Edge of Tomorrow", it has not only received unanimous praise at the commercial level, but also received professional recognition at the performance and artistic level. This turnaround battle won beautifully, and also won neatly, leaving no controversy, and simply and clearly stifling all controversy.

After the Oscars in February ended, Lan Li undoubtedly stood on the cusp of the storm, winning the Oscar at the age of twenty-two, which is really too young, arousing jealousy, and countless critical eyes are focused on him, even if he goes to the West End of London, avoiding most of the slander and speculation, but there are still countless eyes waiting for Lan Lizhi to follow.

Obviously, "Edge of Tomorrow" has become such an outlet.

Unfortunately, those who say it are doomed to disappointment.

Aside from the box office results, the bumper harvest of "Edge of Tomorrow" in terms of word-of-mouth, especially the affirmation and support of Lan Li's acting skills, this has already doomed Lan Li to be invincible, and once again proved his absolute strength, obviously, this "Tomorrow's New Star" has gained a firm foothold in the industry, if "Edge of Tomorrow" has achieved a box office success, then Lan Li will go further and truly rank among the first line!

Opponents and supporters alike have all realized that they may be witnessing the birth of history, and that Gen Y may indeed be a pillar of superstar - after the box office failure of Chris Hemsworth, Blue Rite has once again rekindled hope, which is good news for the entire industry.

Naturally, all eyes were on the weekend box office charts in the second week of June.

Can the box office data predicted by the media still be realized? Can "Prometheus" break the shackles of word-of-mouth and achieve a counterattack? Can "Madagascar 3" continue the advantage of the audience's word-of-mouth and create good results? Can "Edge of Tomorrow" make a breakthrough with the help of the excitement of the premiere and the advantages of word-of-mouth?

Most importantly, can hot spots and word-of-mouth be converted into box office?
