Actually the last reviewer over at AICN has a proven and reliable track record with news and pre-release reviews apparently. The others have not.

A similar occurence happened in 1989 with LC and the Nicholson Batman.

Jr_1981 said:That's how AICN operates (not sure about CHUD). If they get invited onto the set, get exclusive interviews etc. They'll hype the film up and only post the positive reviews. On the other hand if the studio shuns them and doesnt give em anything, they'll cry foul and say the movie sucks. It's all politics really, geeky politics, but politics nonetheless.

isaac_z said:can anyone tell me if the AICN review is full of spoilers? i glanced at one of the earlier ones and saw i line i didn't want to read... crap... anyway, i'd like to read something general, without details, but i expect that such is not the case...
or, if it is spoiler-heavy, can someone post quotes of the non-plot/character oriented sections?
thanks!
