Just coming to post that. Still at 69, however.

Here's an interesting dichotomy. The top critic percentage is now at 83% with the addition of Beradinelli, compared to 69% overall. But the top critic average rating is just 6.2, compared to 6.8 overall. Go figure!

The average rating only changed after that review from 6.7 to 6.8 .V, i thoroughly browsed all the reviews threads from DOS last year. The review that was never added was the one from Hitfix-Drew McWeeny. I will do an even thorougher research in case i missed something

I'll be interested to see when the majority of the U.S. newspaper reviews get added. Normally reviews appear on the Friday that the film is released. But of course this one is being released on a Wednesday. Will most of them appear by then, or not until Friday?

Excellent. Maybe that will make a difference.

Nice to know your real name, as well. :)

The Mercury News is the closest paper to where I live that is RT-approved.

Mike LaSalle of the SF Chronicle will give it a negative review. I would bet my house on it.

A mixed to positive review by Top Critic Rafer Guzman 2.5/4 . It willmost probably be counted as fresh once it is added since all his reviews about films with 2.5/4 and above are counted as fresh. He had given the same rating to DOS too.

Dustin Putman's review was just added as fresh in RT. 2.5/4

He had given both AUJ and DOS terrible reviews. Pretty good sign

Up to 71%. If just the four written reviews that you have posted about on this page were added (let alone all the ones that you emailed them about and the ones that we are waiting for that we know will be positive), it would be up to 75%. I'm still not convinced that they are actually going to add all those old ones (some of which are now two weeks old!), but we'll see.
