Movie Reviews

Hope sits at 79% Tomatometer and 79% Popcornmeter

What happened

Rotten Tomatoes’ page for Hope (2026), pulled live for this filing, shows a 79% Tomatometer from 136 reviews and a 79% Popcornmeter from 500+ verified ratings. Critics Consensus on RT reads exactly: "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." The film is rated R, runs 2 hours 40 minutes, is distributed by Neon, and opened wide in theaters September 9, 2026. Synopsis on the page: 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. Cartoon stand-ins only — never celebrity likenesses.

RT Movie Reviews here recap what the page actually prints: Tomatometer, review count, Popcornmeter, consensus only if present, rating, runtime, studio, date. Scores as RT prints them. Skip politics-adjacent critic asides. Bright tomato red and Neon teal. White gutters. If comic art shows a different incidental title or paraphrases the consensus, prioritize verified RT facts in prose — the film is Hope, the consensus sentence above is exact, and the meters are 79 / 79.

A matched 79% Tomatometer from 136 reviews beside a 79% Popcornmeter from 500+ is the honest scoreboard for this batch. If the meters move later, that is a later pull. Today’s page has the dual 79s, the posted Critics Consensus quote above, R, 2:40, Neon, Na Hong-jin’s direction credit as printed on RT, and the Sept. 9 wide theatrical date — Korean village creature tale, cartoon only.

Why it matters

The strip is the dual 79% meters, the village-creature stand-in, the exact Critics Consensus, and the Neon Sep 9 stub. Color on the meter and the marquee. White gutters. No celebrity portraits. Readers get the scores, the exact consensus sentence, and the release facts without wandering into politics or inventing alternate titles from incidental art.

Conclusion

Hope sits at 79% from 136 reviews on the Tomatometer and 79% Popcornmeter from 500+ ratings; Critics Consensus calls it an unhinged sci-fi epic with awe-inspiring production design and amusingly quaint visual effects that pumps adrenaline when focused on its hapless human heroes; R, 2:40, Neon, wide Sep 9, Korean village creature tale. Cartoon stand-ins only. Source: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/hope_2026
