Metacritic Gets a Makeover and (500) Days

Did I just dream this or did it really happen? Last time I checked, Metacritic looked the same. Now it’s gone and changed itself to a new color scheme.¬† This could explain why there was all of that weirdness with the Half-Blood Prince reviews not showing up.

Meanwhile, 500 Days of Summer seems to be doing fairly well. It’s this Ty Burr quote that puts me off the most, though: “It’s an “Annie Hall” for the iPod generation: √ºber-designed, pleasing to the touch, making up in generic sweetness what it lacks in bite.”

Metacritic has it at a cool 74 but the reviews seem to be more positive than that. RT has it at 89, with “top critics” at 85.
