Okay hold the FUCK on for a second, how the FUCK does Ghostbusters have such a huge disparity between "all reviews" and "top critics" like if this isn't proof enough that people are BEING PAID OFF then I dont know what is.
>>
Can someone post a movie that has similar rating disparity?
>>
Because the top reviews work for major papers and have an inkling of credibility to maintain. The rest of the critics are just bloggers with personal agendas.

Is that even relevant though? That movie is pretty infamous for having a shitty release and critics hated it because it wasn't E.T. Thats nothing like this at all, where we apparently have a bunch of reviewers who love the movie to death and then some with credibility that did not like it.

>>71863025
Well, look at the reviews that are giving this good favorable reviews. All of them have a strong feminist, pro-identity politics agenda. That's just how BAD the far left has gotten in the modern day western world.

It's just like I predicated. It was a shitty movie that was made worse by being wrapped in some putrid identity politic agenda.

I just keep arriving at the question as to why this needed to be using the Ghostbusters IP, because it really didn't do anything for the series or IP. If anything the IP did a lot of work for an otherwise just generic comedy movie.

Just wait for the UK to start reacting to it as it airs this morning. Then we'll see if these "critics" were just shilling.

I mean hell, just looking at their reviews at face value they all say the movie is merely ok or severely lacking in things like timing, plot, and cartoonish effects. Yet they then give it a thumbs up because "screw misogynists" or something. It's pretty ridiculous.

Some buttfucking strained-asshole faggot complained about Dune, not because of any technical issues, but because Baron Harkonnen had pustules and acted deviant and the critic took it to mean that the movie was shitting on homosexuals and the pustules represented AIDS/HIV.

Most "Top Critics" are retards.
This movie will be shit just as surely as every other remake released in the past 10 years.

Yeah, production costs were about $130-150 million. But look at all the money they've spent trying to salvage this trainwreck. Paying off critics, booking guest appearances on all the talk shows, the money they spent creating Cisbusters merchandise that no one wants and is on clearance before the movie's even out, creating sockpuppet critics to shill for the movie.

This movie's costs must be astronomical by now.

At least with Fantastic Flop Fox didn't further compound the failure by spending billions in a desperate and pathetic attempt to salvage a turd, to turn the backlash against the critics. They didn't sell shit merchandise that nobody wanted. True, a lot of that may have been down to the fact that Marvel owns Fantastic Four merchandising rights, but at the end of the day it worked out for the better as they weren't spending tons of money trying to market an unmarketable film.

I don't know about paid off...

It's just that there's an ideology out there right now informed by cultural studies, critical theory and identity politics that says we need to be supportive of more 'minorities' represented in the arts - and lowering the standards if need be, because more diversity is the most important thing.

Which goes hand-in-hand with 'popism', which informs and is informed by the diversity-in-arts/entertainment cause. It's basically the idea that pop / 'inauthentic' music is good (sure, a lot can be...), and this has increasingly become a politicized idea... a common argument being that the music teenage girls and gay men listen should be treated as seriously as the music 'straight white guys' listen to. We've all heard this a lot now.

Which are... I mean, my favorite artists are probably women, without my even feeling compelled to be more inclusive though... it's just how it turns out. The problem though, is possibly lowering artistic standards for the sake of the political argument. There are a lot of critics and online commentators and personalities who are happy to lower the bar - in film, in music - to support 'the cause'.

Personally, for me, art and aesthetics are the 'cause'... everything else is secondary. And if a woman stars in an actually good film, cool. If my favorite musical artists are currently black (a good handful are), sure, why not.

But man, fuck people who think they need to overrate shit art or entertainment for the sake of some political agenda. You're not doing anyone a favor lowering the standard of quality.

I really hate bringing politics into art and entertainment, honestly.

>>71866168
A) This is not art, neither is most pop music. It is a product, engineered to appeal to a certain social class.
B) If you craft your movie to appear to a wide range of normal people and women/children in genereal you will get a huge response
C) If a small minority bashes your movie intensely it is just free marketing to you which will appeal to your chosen audience.
It is not about the quality or politics or art. It is about marketing and it worked out great up until now. The review score or actual film is irrelevant as long as you draw in enough people with the false MRA/SJW dichotomy.

This would only be a bad thing if the director intended nonstop or frequent thrills. Carpenter wanted it to be a suspenseful slow burn where the viewer would know that things could go from normal to extreme danger at a moment's notice. He utilized the actors, enclosed atmosphere, and some brilliant and sparingly used special effects to this effect, and it's clear he accomplished exactly what he set out to do.

You're an idiot to expect this movie to get a lot of bad reviews anyway. Not because of paid shills, but because most people don't want to be that guy who everyone thinks they're misogynist because they didn't like Ghostbusters. Also most film critics are fags who studied English/Film at college and probably don't want to not like this movie because of ideological reasons.

The real metric will be the profit it makes, which I hope is fuck all.

This just shows that rotten tomatoes is flawed and biased yet again. The majority of BvS reviews were mediocre, yet the counted all of them towards the negative. The majority of reviews for this are mediocre too and they're counting them positive. This year has been a shitty year for movies, but it has proven that you really can not trust most "critics" these days.

I've always been neutral towards the woman ghostbusters, I was even neutral after the casting. The trailer made it look like completely mediocre pandering drek; comparable to movies like Pixels. It's not clever, it has no soul, it's just a cheap cash in on levels.

Lets be real too, Sony had to know backlash was coming. They've played it smart though and played the gamergate card where a legitimate issue is ignored because of MUH MISOGYNY. The neckbeards who were throwing a hissy about women from the start really didn't make things better either. In the end it's all irrelevant, its just a bit sickening that things can be completely ruined by critics who has a proven bias.

That was their intention from the beginning. They realized how well it worked for video games and used the "sexist backlash" as their marketing campaign to get the entire network of status-signaling bloggers to do all the heavy lifting for them. It's brilliant, honestly. They barely had to do anything at all, the entire system is already set up in just such a way as to work flawlessly with minimal input.

They're not looking for people who are nostalgic about Ghostbusters, they're looking for people who haven't even seen the original or don't really care about it and want to see a summer flick they can turn their brain off to. Ghostbusters fans were never the intended audience, they were the vehicle to bring the reboot to its new and less critical audience.

Why can't we just admit this is a mysandrist movie but also a good movie.

I think the movie's score is going to fall. Let's consider the base demographics:
>hardcore fans of the 1984 movie
Will hate the new cast/rebooting.
>people who grew up with foind memories of ghostbusters
Are most likely in their forties or fifties, relative to the population they are a small chunk compared to 12-39 year olds.

>younger than 12
Finding dory and Secret life of pets provide competition
>12-18 year olds
Not that connected to ghostbusters, other films compete (the new Bourne movie is due out soon for instance)
>18-24, 25-39 year olds
The original movie came out in 1984, 32 years ago, that puts the very tail end of this population on age range for having seen the original movie in theaters.

The discounted toys are telling, it says: KIDS ARE NOT INTERESTED IN THIS MOVIE. And you have to drag around the kids all summer since you have no school to occupy them. You are much more likely to take them to the movie they want to see.

>2000s and beyond: Aggregator scores are most effective and accurate for films released in the 2000s and beyond. This is because more reviews are available online and as a result contemporary critical reception is more clearly defined. Prior to the 2000s, Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic did not exist, and reviews were typically not online. Sources besides Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic should be sought out for films released before the 2000s; reports of critical consensus will likely exist in print sources. E.g., Alien, released in 1979, has a score of 97% on Rotten Tomatoes, but the critical reception at the time of release was mixed.
