The movie really isn't as bad equally people say. I mean, information technology's pretty much the same quality as the other disney star wars movies.

Nah, people like seeing the aforementioned movie over and over once more so that will do well without payoffs.

We've known this for years. There's no other explanation for the positive reviews for the awful new ghostbusters

In 2018 it sure seems to be. Information technology used to be about getting paid to be a journalist/critic, now it seems to be all about getting paid off to give shitty things positive scores.

In the days when fan sites like Ain't information technology Absurd News and CHUD were at the height of their popularity, there was a off-white amount of debate over the ideals of accepting lavish gifts from studios (tours, behind-the-scenes access, etc.). But I've never heard of reviewers being afraid to give a Disney movie a bad review for fearfulness they'd exist blacklisted from future screenings.

As with virtually things Last Jedi related, haters are desperate to depict themselves as function of a significant, silent majority and are willing to accept any conspiracy theory that helps them maintain that illusion.

TLJ is divisive, Attack of the Clones is nearly universally reviled.

Attack of the Clones is the worst one by far. And I didn't like TLJ.

OP is surprised someone are paying reviewers for loftier score. Even his favorite game was garbage but hands barbarous for the reviews like a simpleton.

i mean, last jedi has information technology's bug for sure, merely if you lot think it's the worst star wars film your stance on film is worth virtually as much as republic credits on tatooine.

well its similar this. i didn't like Attack of the clones really. just last jedi killed the franchise where equally the other i just wrote off as a bad prequel. it didn't ruin the franchise information technology was just not practiced. Concluding jedi
fabricated me desire the franchise to cease to exist from at present on.

Oh I'm definitely non surprised at all. Disney does shady tactics like this and other things to strongarm smaller organizations and the masses for decades now. Paying off critics for an at best mediocre movie to wank it off equally the all-time of the series isn't the lowest they'll go for entertainment dominance.

Probably not but a lot of Batman v. Superman and Man of Steel reviews complained that the movies weren't like the MCU plenty and the clear meddling of Suicide Squad and Justice League was pandering to critics who merely think superhero movies should be "fun" and filled with unfunny jokes every ii minutes like the typical MCU movie though. Even journalists were cheering for Venom to flop because it didn't have a marvel studios logo when in reality it'south a typical MCU movie filled with terrible dialogue and poor CGI.

I been proverb this for years
Disney pays reviewers to give there movies high ratings and likewise pays them to requite lower ratings for competetor movies (DC)

Alot of DC movies did not deserve the ratings it got.

This review is the literal equivalent to "7.8 As well Much H2o" for crying out loud.

As well much water was a perfectly valid criticism and for as much bullshit that IGN deserves to be chosen out on, that is not one of them.

Also Ant-Man and the Wasp, a complete garbage film that looked so flat but was praised and then much by Disney bought critics was simply put on the Oscar shortlist for best VFX over Aquaman, the better looking picture also.

Fifty-fifty the Aquaman reviews are extremely bias against DC

This probably has nothing to practice with anti-DC bias and entirely because he just finds the entire concept of Aquaman stupid.

I don't get why people say stuff like this. The role of a critic is to inform. If you lot remove critics there'due south nothing standing between audiences and the marketing departments of billion dollar corporations. Is that what geeks want?

Disagree. Batman vs Superman was equally bad as last jedi.

Suicide squad was average, Justice league was average. The only good one was Wonder adult female so far. Most of the MCU has been mode superior then all of Warner brothers efforts except Wonder woman.

Not sure about the whole paying off thing, just I will say I wouldn't be shocked if Disney sends out something to sure reviewers and says hey here'south what to say if you want to get to proceed to practice early on reviews of our movies. I mean how many F@#@#@# reviews said that The Last Jedi was "Bold?" I don't think I've always seen then many people proclaim a film "Assuming" as happened with The Last Jedi.

The redlettermedia gag wasn't a gag

• #47

Said this before. It'south rare trending studios pay cash changing hands for favourable reviews. Information technology's normally certain critics they want to cast favourable reviews with. -- As for the ET media *never*.

What usually happens there, is that during the PR junket (later on pre-screenings to select critics). The ET media substitution draft reviews with studio PR; currying favour with especially shit films, in order to get scoops on very trending ones from the same studio. -- Direct scoops go into editorials, scoops on troubled productions become leaks (anything that'due south bailiwick to change). All the residual dribble click-bait on, is speculation. -- Welcome to freelance journalism, not like the other thing.. These editorials are traded with unlike tabloids, for both expediency and to add the tabloid into loop, while the topic is hot. This is why yous see the same review popular-upward on 6 dissimilar sites and a few papers, by the same dude. The only thing the Editor has to remember about, is whether the editorial fits their audition.

In the end, it's all ane large PR circle. Everyone involved is quite happy with the fact that you can merely trust your own sentence. Which means, paying for it and keeping the auto, fuelled.

The movie actually isn't equally bad as people say. I hateful, it'due south pretty much the same quality equally the other disney star wars movies.

If you hateful TFA then "duh". If you mean the "A Star Wars stories" you're fucked in da head joe.

• #48

Btw.. interesting that when the dude is trying to divulge this, the other person is trying to talk over them. -- I mean, this film was so bad fifty-fifty Disney'due south investors fumed!

The simply good thing to come out of TLJ, is that Disney now know they didn't acquire a lemon. This was in some dubiety in 2012. People care near Star Wars, many having to admit "more than they realised". The Prequel Trilogy got shit, only no where near as bad as the Sequel Trilogy has; must be noted. Per capita, there are many more than people comfortable existing online, than in that location ever was dorsum during the Prequels, should exist kept in listen equally well.. We're talking about the era Diablo II was hot shit.

Solo's performance was a directly reaction to TLJ and the ST as a whole. Not a contrived ane. Which is at present Disney's problem. Information technology's a skilful movie for anyone not looking for that facsimile Harrison Ford experience. Which, you shouldn't exist anyway.

Losing access, which forget the cost of a "free" screening, is far different than "paying" for positive reviews. There'south a lot of other back aqueduct b.s. that people in the business concern tin can leverage confronting those that work in the entertainment criticism world.

The funny thing is in today's world information technology's not the actual review of the film that seems to matter, only the score, hence why shit sites similar Rotten Tomatoes get looked upward to as some kind of real mark of a film'southward quality.
