[Update: 7 scores of 100. 89 overall average.]
For those of you keeping score at home (you know who you are) Moneyball has so far collected 4 perfect scores of 100 on Metacritic, and only one naysayer (Slate) giving it anything less than a 70.
That’s 20 green lights and dim one yellow note of caution. With a current average of 86, this puts Moneyball one point below Deathly Hallows (at 87) as the best reviewed American film of the year thus far. Tree of Life and Meek’s Cutoff tying for 3rd with 85.
Still a little over a dozen critics yet to weigh in before the number settles at its final level, but Scott Rudin and Bennett Miller must be feeling pretty good right about now.
