Do critics even get paid a salary? How can anyone lose revenue to these sort of contrarians?

Has he ever agreed with a widely critically acclaimed film before?

literally /ourguy/

He has to or they stop counting his reviews.

is he /ourguy/?

Like half his reviews agree with the general rt score of the movie

prove it
I have literally never seen Armond not be contrarian

He liked Hidden Figures, but that didn't let Sup Forums accept it as hidden Kino.

...

>look up his oldest reviews on the site
>Didn't like: There Will Be Blood, Zodiac, American Gangster, Atonement, Assassination of Jesse James, Gone Baby Gone, Eastern Promises, 3:10 to Yuma
>Liked: How She Move, First Sunday, No Country for Old Men

He loved Moonlight

DUDE KINO LMAO

These are actually good, coherent reviews

Well it's Kurosawa
He problably hates every modern japanese critically acclaimed film

>this is Sup Forums's guy

How to become Armond White:

1) Review positively rated movie negatively.
2) Review negatively rated movie positively.
3) Repeat step 1 and 2 except for any of the following conditions:

1) The movie displays pro-right values. Rate positively always.
2) The movie displays pro-left values. Rate negatively always.
3) If you've had a streak of contrarian movie reviews, rate in accordance to popular opinion so you aren't blatant.

Rinse and repeat. Perfect nigger conman.

is this the one where she pukes everywhere?

>that resident evil review
that's not even contrarian, that's downright retarded

He's a good writer but his standards of quality are so jumbled that I can only like them ironically.

All you tards simply dont get it do you..
There is no right review or a more correct review.
What is important is for a review to be an interesting twist on the movie it is reviewing and uses it to say something of importance...
His reviews are eloquent and often interesting to read and through them he makes interesting comments about society and people.

A movie criticism is like a movie in a sense except a movie is a biger time investment and a movie criticism revovles around a film while the film itself revolves around the subject it is about.

God Sup Forums is full of retarded plebs..

This doesn't answer the other user because those 52% could all be rotten movies hated by other critics as well or barely making the 60% of RT which is not "widely acclaimed"

He liked Hell or High Water.

A review is an estimation of the quality of a film. If the reviewer's standards are as esoteric and personal as Armond's, it loses all value as an estimation of quality.

If you read them as the socio-political blurbs of someone who has lost all concept of "objective quality" then I guess they're sort of fun. But somebody so far outside the mainstream consciousness is just as often tiring as they are interesting.

>it's good but it's still shit
Literally a Sup Forums review.

Scroll down abit more next time

>objective quality
Boy you are retarded. What century do you think you are living in?
What objective standards do ou speak of? God's law?
The only objectivity in contemporary society is popular oppinion you ignorant dolt.

Armond White is a affirmative action hire and contrarian attention whore with objectively shitty taste, but he still owns because it's hilarious to see redditors act like he kicked over their sand castle every time he gives a bad review to one of the lameshit movies they like. Imagine being such a worthless nerd that you care that one critics bad review fucked up the score of some retard-tier comic book movie.

>le contrarian reviewer

According to him Grown Ups 2 is a masterpiece. I think he's just driving clicks and saving up to bring his boyfriend on vacation to Fire Island.

...

He agrees with the majority of critics 80 percent of the time
