Has Disney fixed the audience score?





Do you believe the talk of conspiracy?

Jumping to conspiracy is the low brain response to too much information.

Why would they buy the audience score and ignore the critic score

Star Wars is a pathway to many opinions some consider to be... Unnatural.

Apparently because critic reviews lost their credibility due to TLJ.

literally makes no sense, if you believe it you're dumb. this is regardless of the movie's quality

-the meter not moving from 86% isn't unusual at all. The issue is people are only now paying attention to the RT meter because they have a conspiracy, so they're noticing that it doesn't move much and don't understand that the initial sample size was accurate. It'd be unusual for it to move since positive/negative is dependent on rating the film in one of two ways (above or below 3.5) and there are already a massive quantity of reviews, making it harder to move.

-CinemaScore and PostTrak, polling firms that set out to gauge box office totals via audience reception, has the film at positive reception that jives with the the RT verified or unverified score

-It makes no sense that Disney would suddenly dispense paying off critics when they were accused by the same people of doing this for TLJ. TFA was their most successful film carrying both positive audience & critical reception. If Disney were trying to rig it they'd do both.

tl;dr; manchildren don't understand how RT works, have a salt-filled meltdown that the general public doesn't reflect their obnoxious bubble nobody outside of niche internet audiences care about

doubtful. i don't think the RT user score would be worth manipulating tbh. Not sure there's any evidence that it affects box office or anything. There are loads of terrible movies with good user reviews.

I've heard it's a Disney conspiracy, a Russia conspiracy, a Sony conspiracy of all things ... why is this film so bloody controversial?

My mind is honestly blown that the poll is tied still.

It has a 5/10 User Score on Metacritic

I'd imagine the Rotten Tomatoes score was stuffed somehow

That is a much smaller sample though, and much more likely to be biased in favor of people more invested in the franchise.
