Three Quarters Of Critics Give The Prestige Thumbs Up

Hooked to the silver screen...

Following on from last week's news item about The Prestige enjoying the biggest box office returns, (10.22.2006 NEWS: THE PRESTIGE IS THE #1 MOVIE IN AMERICA!) Rotten Tomatoes has done the scientific thing and calculated that the film has had 73 percent good reviews.

Here's how they broke it down: Reviews counted: 135 ~ Fresh: 99 ~ Rotten: 36 ~ Average Rating = 7.2 out of 10

As you can see from the box office chart above, that translates as equal second place with Flags Of Our Fathers as critics choice, with only The Departed garnering more good reviews with 93 per cent of those being favourable.

Thanx to BowieNetter robpongi for the pointer.
