This isn't 100% on RT. It says "no consensus yet". Tons of movies start out like this. I'm sure it will drop when it actually comes out.

We know this.
Obviously it will settle much lower.

The fact that it debuted on a fresh rating of 100% that not every movie has managed to do so like Snow White and the Huntsman, Transformers 3 and even The Avengers

I saw it yesterday. Really enjoyed it although 3D was completely not needed.

Really? 
But a lot of critics and viewers said that the 3D especially during the concert performances was visually pleasing, spectacular and it was not just your ordinary 3D movie that tries hard with the effects.

Postive review from The West Australian

Something strange happened at the weekend. I went to a Katy Perry movie. And I liked it.

Cynics may say the self-funded Katy Perry: Part of Me is nothing more than a marketing ploy to sell more records. But while there is no doubt the film is sure to see a spike in record sales, it's still an insightful, fun and touching documentary if you let yourself - as one fan put it - be "shot with an arrow of Katy Perryness".

6th review on RT.
Positive from "The Hollywood Reporter":
Quote:
|
A mix of interviews, reality-TV style behind-the-scenes footage and 3D concert scenes, the movie is attractively, if conventionally, assembled.

Still 100% fresh.

A kinda mixed but slightly positive review with a low rating.
Quote:
Paramount Pictures does not lie: The chipper, no-warts-and-all tour chronicle "Katy Perry: Part of Me" is indeed the 3-D movie music event of the summer. The only one, I believe. Unless Christopher Nolan's"The Dark Knight Rises" turns out to be in 3-D, featuring duets sung by men in peculiar facial accessories.
The Perry film, which never lingers long on any one number or mood or faaaabulous outfit, was shot last year, when the pop star and wide-eyed emblem of sexy (but not too) Southern California kookdom (never enough! never enough kook!) crisscrossed the world on her "California Dreams Tour." A brief marriage to comedian and actor Russell Brand provoked the eventual heartbreak all megastar divas must suffer, if not necessarily with Russell Brand, en route to shining even more brightly on stage, smiling through tears.
The one true moment of poetry in "Part of Me," which was directed by "Top Chef" and "Project Runway" alums Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz, finds Perry below an arena stage, standing alone on a little elevator platform, ready for her entrance. She looks crestfallen, unsure, a global phenomenon temporarily lost. Then, the crowd's chants of "Kay-Tee! KAY-TEE!" begin, and the twirly top thingies she's wearing on her breasts seem to pick up speed, as if propelled not by hand-held remote but by the very love of the crowd. I'm not sure what this moment says, other than "Look at 'em go!" But all great art contains some essential ambiguity that cannot be diagramed.
Brand is glimpsed briefly backstage in what might be called the Warren Beatty "Truth or Dare" cameo appearance. What do we learn from the film, other than the only thing that looks cool in this pointless 3-D context is laser stage lights shooting at your face? We learn that Perry, eternal gurl-woman, has a grandma in Vegas. We learn that her father wears black eyeglasses resembling Irving "Swifty" Lazar's. She works hard, probably too hard. She always wanted to be a star, and the bi-curiouser and curiouser "I Kissed a Girl" did the trick, followed by many other tricks.
Twitter should be thrilled with the on-screen exposure it receives here, as Perry's clearly logo'ed tweets (along with those of others) appear as pop-up punctuation amid the general, well-manicured tumult. I find Perry likable in her camera-friendliness. She's one of these characters who, for all we know, came out of the womb holding a 1984-model video camera, filming away: She has that Jenny McCarthy-but-raised-a-Pentacostal-Christian shamelessness and drive, and a great smile. The movie, whatever. But when you see and hear so many fans of so many backgrounds expounding on what "Firework" means to them, you realize that while a song may or may not be for you, it most certainly is for others.

Postive Review from Austin 360
Quote:

“Katy Perry: Part of Me” presents a familiar trajectory, and often tips over into hagiography, but there’s a sympathetic person at its core. Given the generally hollow, cynical nature of the music industry, evoking genuine pathos is the film’s most impressive special effect.

Negative Review from Tri-Valley Times
Quote:

Katy Perry: Part of Me" is a lot like a really bland "Behind the Music" episode.

It feels like we are only getting part of the story in "Part of Me." At least, let's hope that's all we are getting -- if it isn't, Katy Perry the person is a heck of a lot less interesting than her music and onstage persona.

Very Positive Review from Edge on the Net
Quote:
|
what is so terrific is how it not only shows how the performer encourages young people, but also how difficult it was for her to achieve her success, and how that success has taken a toll on her personal life.
|
Quote:
|
What is clear by film’s end is that Perry is a hard-working performer who values her fans, appreciates where she is, and keeps her friends and family close.

Inspiring, joyful, and surprisingly emotional, "Katy Perry: Part of Me 3D" is the summer blast you’ve been waiting for
