Dreamworks open sourced toolkit used to make Guardians

Reception section

This happens every time a fantasy, superhero or animated movie is released: Fans of the film only want this section to say "positive reviews" no matter what the aggregates and such say. Rotten Tomatoes says, "wonderfully animated and briskly paced, but it's only so-so in the storytelling department." That's not entirely positive. And Metacritic's weighted average was 57. That is decidedly middling. Given these two facts alone, it is inaccurate to say "positive reviews" and accurate to say "mixed to positive."

We're supposed to discuss these things on Wikipedia and provide rationales for our edits. That last part is a requirement. Reverting to "positive" without discussion and without providing a rationale breaches that guideline and could conceivably be considered vandalism. --Tenebrae (talk) 18:21, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously if the aggregators themselves don't agree then describing the reception as "positive" is not neutral. I have to admit I'm not a fan of the "mixed to positive" phrasing, but it's much more representative in this instance. Betty Logan (talk) 21:36, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
