Critics will always be critics! That should be kept in mind when reading reviews for a forthcoming film. A reviewer’s responsibility is to examine a work critically. The measures used to determine value are different from those used by the majority of fans.
Scores on Rotten Tomatoes are calculated using an average of reviews from critics.As a result, the score becomes more fair and is adjusted as the number of reviews increases.At the time of writing,Secret Invasionhas a Tomatometer rating of 73%. And this came after the aggregate score of 70 critical reviews.
When attempting to explain why such a score was awarded, many factors must now be taken into account. The strength of subjectivity and the relevance of a movie to its franchise are two of the most important factors forSecret Invasion’sRotten Tomato Scores.

TheSecret Invasion: What to Expect
The series was inspired by the rich traditions of espionage noir and lone gunman Westerns, according to directorAli Selim.
“We talked a lot about classic espionage noir, likeThe Third Man. As Nick moves through it, he walks out of a noir and into a Western. He becomes the lone gunslinger walking down Main Street looking for bad guys to vanquish. We go fromThe Third Manto John Wayne inThe Searchers, and Sam walks effortlessly from one into the next.”
For those who are not familiar,Secret Invasionis a Marvel series that centers on the Skrulls, a race of shape-shifting aliens that have ingratiated themselves into every sphere of society on Earth.
Ben Mendelsohn plays Talos andSamuel L. Jacksonportrays Nick Fury on the show, both of whom have roles in other Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the series, especially in light of the popularity of shows likeWandaVisionandLoki.
Well, it remains to be seen whetherSecret Invasionwill turn out to be yet another failed endeavor likeThe Flash.
Although early reviews are undoubtedly the cause for concern, it is important to note that a show’s success is influenced by factors other than just how well it is received by critics. Instead of relying solely on reviews, viewers should watch and form their own opinions about the series.
And who knows, it might end up surprising everyone and taking the superhero media industry by storm.
