Movie Reviews

Hope hits 73% on Rotten Tomatoes ahead of Sept. 9

What happened

Na Hong-jin’s Hope sits at 73% on the Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer from 60 critic reviews ahead of its Sept. 9 theatrical release, according to the film’s RT page fetched Saturday morning. The Popcornmeter showed 0 verified audience ratings at the time of filing. Runtime is listed at 2 hours 40 minutes. The synopsis: a police chief, a policewoman, and a group of hunters try to track down and kill a mysterious creature laying waste to a Korean village. Distributor listing on the page: NEON. Rating: R.

The critics consensus on the page reads: “An unhinged sci-fi epic that boasts awe-inspiring production design and amusingly quaint visual effects, Na Hong-jin's Hope gets the adrenaline pumping whenever it focuses on the unraveling of its hapless human heroes.” Individual blurbs on the same page split between awe at the swing and fatigue at the length—exactly the kind of split a 73% usually signals.

This movies desk package reports the scores and consensus as RT shows them. It is not a spoiler map.

Why it matters

Pre-release Tomatometer math is how a lot of viewers decide whether a two-hour-forty creature feature is a weekend plan or a wait-for-streaming shrug. Seventy-three percent with sixty reviews is a soft-fresh signal: interest without coronation. The consensus language—“unhinged,” “quaint visual effects,” adrenaline when the humans unravel—tells you the ride is the point more than tidy plotting.

Audience scores still have to arrive after people actually buy tickets. Until then, the honest filing is critic-side only: 73%, consensus posted, Popcornmeter empty, Sept. 9 on the stub.

Conclusion
