movie goers are over?

Does this prove once and for all Disney buys off critics for good reviews?!

The Rock was right about the critics, and they must be eliminated.

Yes

>56% incoming

LE 56% MEME
AMERIMUTTS

i cant wait for 56%

rev up those shitposts lads

>same % rating as AotC

OH NO NO NO NO NO

duh no shit

Audiences are idiots. This movie will pe praised in 20-30 years.

This is what I'm waiting for.

Capeshit already proved that.

could you imagine if a well known website said "it sucked" about any blockbuster?

Kermode like it? Was he bought? No. You are dumb fuck who knows shit about movies. This movie is great. It will be praised in 20 years more.

>t.

Critics loves Phantom Menace when it came out too

This is more proof (if it was ever needed) how critics are a bunch of sycophants with no ability or right to judge good from bad

Critics just praise these movies just so they can protect their early screening privileges.

Kermode liked the Twilight movies.

What the fuck did the critics even like about it?

What's any Marvel capeshit from the last ten years except GotG

Yep

From my perusing of fan sites for SW, it's actually about 50/50 for those that like it and hate it, and many of those that like it still dislike many things about it.

Critics are fake news.

>tfw you make a movie for the people you're gonna pay to like the movie
What's even the point?

just waiting till 56%

Kermode, like most reviewers, lacks actual filmmaker toolkit to properly review a movie. My opinion will be determined by what RLM think about it.

To sell the allusion that this THE movie that everyone has to see. For starters, this girl I'm dating wanted to see this movie despite never even seeing TFA let alone the originals. They spent billions for this franchise and they'll be damned if they're not going to try to pull every dirty trick in the book to get their money back.

Build up huge amounts of hype to all in on opening weekend. People won't have the chance to tell their friends to avoid it if they all saw it at the same time.

What a time to be alive

proper digits, chap

all critics are whores

God women are fucking stupid. My girl is the same.

You mean like about almost every DC movie?

Just look at all the Marvel scores.

I just don't get it though. What possesses normies to go see Disney flicks regardless of quality? It's like some sort of virus.

>"it sucked because we weren't paid to like it!"

The pressure to conform is literally what drives these people entirely

>tfw my gf has been a lifelong Star Warsa fan, mostly OT, is afraid she's gonna hate TLJ, can't stand Porgs, etc

It's nice but also sad to watch, seeing as her favorite franchise is getting burned to the ground

It's the fear of being left out in the water cooler conversation.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand TLJ. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Kylo Ren’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike TLJ ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Leia’s existential superman pose which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Rian Johnson’s genius wit unfolds itself on their movie theatres. What fools.. how I pity them.

And yes, by the way, i DO have a Porg tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. See ya around kid

I'm curious what mostly OT means, does she like prequels, does she watch the cartoons, does she play the fucking card game, like how big of a franchise fan is she

>high score
>they were paid off!

>low score
>they WEREN'T paid off but wanted to be!

so do you have any evidence of this supposed mass critic corruption other than "they like what I don't"?

Now Star Wars fans know how BvS fans felt after JL.

I'm mobilefagging right now but insert any of those retarded wojak memes here as an accurate assessment

You're quoting Tarantella?

>so do you have any evidence of this supposed mass critic corruption other than "they like what I don't"?
Yes, the apparent cognitive dissonance of critics.

She grew up watching the OT and has seen them more times than anyone I've ever met. Likes parts of the prequels but admits they're not great. Wasn't crazy about TFA or RO. She did watch the Clone Wars cartoons and played some video games. I think she even has some old EU novels and shit. What I mean is that the OT is the thing she really treasures more than anything.

Hype is more important than the actual product when selling entertainment in our consumerist society. Look at movies, video games, television shows and televised professional sports.

Can someone explain the "Disney pays off critics" meme? Am I to believe that multibillion dollar corporations like Universal (Comcast), Warner Bros (Time Warner), and Sony can't afford to pay off critics but Disney can?

I'm genuinely trying to understand this, please help.

What cognitive dissonance?

I'm refreshing every minute waiting for it to hit 56%

So does RLM. Your shitty English and double standard opinion outs you as a retarded third worlder.

The Last Jedi currently has a 57% audience score on a 3.4/5 audience rating with over 65,000 votes, but a 93% critic score with 270 votes. Pro tip, it's not that hard to buy 270 people, happens in every other industry especially in the entertainment ones like videogames and music

>After the shitshow that was TFA, we have now lived to see even the normies turn on Kathleen and Disney by shitting on a FUCKING STAR WARS MOVIE

How does it feel, lads? I'm on cloud nine over here

JIDF shill who regularly raids Sup Forums & Sup Forums here, me and my army of about 6 other posters made 20 accounts each to review bomb this garbage. and we're just 1 cell

There is a concentrated effort to bomb the audience score out of protest. Russian trolls are doing it alongside us.

The critics are very close friends of Iger and Kennedy.
Just friends

Sure mouseshill, whatever you say

>Disney
it's like that for every blockbuster

>get blacklisted from Sony previews
Oh no.....
>get blacklisted from mouse previes
Genuinely fucked

>Disney finally being exposed

I thought the day would never come

So? Critics diverge from audiences all the time. If you're just going to follow the audience score then why pay attention to the critics at all? Just look at the second number and decide if you want to see the movie.
>it's not that hard to buy 270 people
That's not evidence that it's what actually happened, though.

Sage. Sage! Sage? SAAAAAGGGGGEEEEE!!!!!!!
Sage. Fuck Off idiot and/or Disney shill.

This.
>I won't be invited to the previews of Emoji 2: Tha Attack of Black Twitter? Thank god
>I won't be invited to any capeshit/Star Shit previews and I am a glorified podcast blogger? Well better call daddy for soy money!

same reason tech critics love everything by Apple & Google, what this guy says you gotta pan something from time to time to appear "unbiased" so you lambast the product of a rich company that isn't a mega ultra corporation that controls everything

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand The Last Jedi. The plot is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the story will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Rey’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into her characterisation- her personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of the narrative, to realise that it's not just about making sense- it says something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike The Last Jedi truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the depth of Rey's existential phrase “I need someone to show me my place in all of this,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Disney’s genius unfolds itself in the theaters. What fools.. how I pity them.

Paying off is layman's terms. Favors are exchanged, connections are made, there is an element of following the zeitgeist that arises in these critic circles and culture as well. It's a complex, more subtle process than giving money to people hand over fist.

>That's not evidence that it's what actually happened, though.
No, the evidence is the discrepancy itself. It's pretty rare for blockbusters to behave like this, normally the critics create the opinion and normies just go along, that's why it took so long for people to start talking shit about the prequels or TDKR. But this movie was just too shit even for normies

kill yourself faggot.

Critics diverging from audiences is nothing new when it comes to movies that they view as too complex or exclusive for the masses. Critics viewing a popcorn blockbuster designed from the start to appeal to the lowest common denominator more favorably than the audience it is meant for has not been typical until very recently.

Corruption is the foundation upon which capitalism is built. Everything and everyone is for sale.

Fuck off you commie fuck.

It gives me hope

BvS isn't anywhere close to being as iconic or having the childhood nostalgia factor of Star Wars, though. It's a harder fall for SW fans.

t. mouse shill

Reviewgate when?

You guys know if this sits at 56% it will be nonstop shitposting right?

fascists are against capitalism as well

This is a good point. Disney is the only company right now that's putting out reliably huge blockbusters at a constant pace. If you remove yourself from them you're doomed to irrelevancy. Now the power dynamic changes and the critic has to play the game. Has any critic gotten a big boost because they shit on Disney movies regularly? No. Contribute it to what you want, either pressure they anticipate from their readers, pressure from their fellow critics, or pressure from the studios, it doesn't really matter. All you have to know is that the critiques aren't honest.

>I just turned 17 and have an opinion.
Good for you, kid. Good for you.

A man can dream.

3/10 you didn't even bother to change half the details of the pasta

I'm basically the same way, and I fucking hated TLJ, she probably will too. It goes out of its way to take a massive diarrhea shit on the heart of the OT (and I don't just mean Luke, I mean the entire sense of wonder, optimism, earnestness, and fun that the originals had).

...

>fascists are against capitalism as well
Is that supposed to be an endorsement?

#notlitty

The most important lines in his movie as a star fans are this.

Luke to Rey " the force is not for the Jedi... meaning "the fans", its for everyone else.....not just us and what we like.

The other is kylo to rey about her parents and heritage. You're nobody, you mean nothing and have no part in this " story".... story basically killing off the Star Wars story, like Luke said this isn't going to go how you think... we're not going to get the same story and style we love....the skywalkers and Lucas are gone and it's over. It's Disneys Star Wars after episode 9

That's the idea

It's kinda depressing that we live in times where people with reach are being paid for by big organizations. Fake news and fake reviews wherever you look.

please contain the shitty forced meme in pol where it belongs

Can't wait.

>t.yrone

Wait he actually liked it wtf


youtu.be/F24byGT3rlI

Well yeah. (National) Socialism = Communism.

It's an Sup Forums meme you uncultured swine

>About to become the lowest rated Star Wars movie on Rotten Tomatoes aside from the fucking Holiday Special
What a disaster.

Ah, it's the "I have no retort because deep inside I know it's true so I have to resort to personal attacks" episode again.

This flick is getting torn apart on Reddit despite some pretty obvious shill praise

Its kind of hilarious and sad at the same time. I avoided all spoilers and promo material for this and had no expectations, I still came away disappointed

Critics tend not to review a film on content, story, character etc. but what a film represents. “Strong womyn - great film!”

No. ‘Critics’ literally get tattoos of movie characters and buy all their Funkos. The overwhelming majority of recognized RT critics are mouthbreathing true believers

Justice League was just as bad as Age of Ultron yet one of them was a certified fresh.
