For the Russo brothers, Anthony and Joe, the future is a mix of promise and peril as they take on the crucial Marvel movies, “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Avengers: Secret Wars.” Before diving into that superhero tumult, they have their next project – Netflix’s original film “The Electric State,” an adaptation of a novel with quite an eccentric look. Regrettably, this production isn’t receiving the critical acclaim that their MCU films have garnered.
Based on Rotten Tomatoes‘ collective reviews, it seems that the upcoming movie “The Electric State” may not have the expected impact or quality, which is a bit disheartening given its upcoming release this Friday, March 14 (streamable with a Netflix subscription). The general reception to Joe and Anthony Russo’s latest production, featuring Mr. Peanut as a significant character alongside Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, has been surprisingly lukewarm overall. However, it’s particularly underwhelming when considering their previous high-energy Marvel productions.
The Electric State’s RT Score Is Undeniably Rotten
Among the costliest movies ever made, estimated to have a production budget surpassing $300 million, the upcoming film titled “The Electric State” is expected to draw massive viewership. It’s quite possible that the streaming platform might experience an increase in subscribers, particularly among fans of the Russo brothers. It will be intriguing to observe how the audience rating for “Electric State” on Rotten Tomatoes unfolds, given that the current critical score appears rather poor.
- The Electric State – 23% Rotten (based on 22 reviews)
The movie didn’t receive overwhelmingly positive reviews, even those that made it past the “fresh” threshold were rather average, often describing it as “not worth ruining my day over.” However, the Russos have been praised for creating a visually appealing and engaging film, and they seem to have done well with special effects sequences, which is something they’ve mastered in their work on Marvel superheroes.
While the collaborative screenplays and plot points of the duo’s MCU projects were generally well-received by fans, the script for The Electric State penned by Christopher Markus, Stephen McFeely, and Simon Stålenhag has received a significant amount of criticism in reviews. The storyline was deemed unoriginal and formulaic by many, lacking the humor that Anthony and Joe Russo were known for in their work on shows like Community and Arrested Development.
The Netflix film attracted more similarities to its 2022 thriller “The Gray Man” (45% RT score) and “Cherry” (37%) than to “Captain America: Winter Soldier” and other Marvel productions it has previously released. This could suggest something, depending on personal opinions about these films. By the way, let’s discuss the MCU…
All The Russo Brothers’ MCU RT Scores Tower Over The Electric State’s
Due to the positive reception of newer Marvel Studios movies like “Captain America: Brave New World“, it’s almost as if the remarkable acclaim that Anthony and Joe Russo’s four films received seems less significant. However, their impact is likely to remain a challenging benchmark for future MCU productions to surpass.
Here’s where each of those films currently sits on Rotten Tomatoes:
- Captain America: The Winter Soldier – 90% Critics, 92% Audience
- Captain America: Civil War – 91% Critics, 89% Audience
- The Avengers: Infinity War – 85% Critics, 92% Audience
- The Avengers: Endgame – 94% Critics, 90% Audience
A significant portion of filmmakers’ upcoming plans involves reintroducing Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom and reuniting numerous superheroes and villains in their next two Avengers movies. Interestingly, these films are said to be shot concurrently with a brief break in between, which could potentially limit the chances of Mr. Peanut gaining recognition as a character actor.
