Ghostbusters (2016)

IGN gave it a 6.9 as "Okay".

Doesn't sound positive to me.

Its funny that a lot of the "Positive" reviews are around the 6/10 mark.
And if you listen to how they review it , you can tell that they are choosing their words correctly and are being careful with the negative things they are saying about the film.
Like they are all scared of being called misogynists and being downvoted by the sjw brigade.
Most have a bunch of negative complaints about the movie but the more reputable people/sites seem to be "cautious" to fully point out all the negatives.

Read the New York times review, the reviewer is rather obvious in their bias, even calling the people who were critical of the movie 'sexists'.

Then there is this guy...

It has 71% on Rotten Tomatoes and 62% on Metacritic. Just admit the movie might not be the worst thing since small pox and we'll move on, the consensus I'm getting is that it's pretty good but not amazing...

And a 29% from the top critics... That's quite telling.

People only use the words "pretty good" when they are lying to both others and themselves.

So reviewers can be biased right?

Good to know.

I prefer to go with the Generalization of going against what Little Studio Whipping boys like you say and refuse to support your PC Douchebagery.

You Little Nazi Hypocrite you.

I didn't get a word of that

You can't just cherry pick the worst reviews and throw out a number like that. 71% Rotten Tomatoes.

I'm not cherry picking anything. RT splits the reviews into top critics and all.

Well critics are like what- 200-300 people. Hardly a general representation of what The Millions of Audiences will think. If we slice the critics numbers up into just "top critics" it's literally just the opinion of a few people.

Now I'm not saying we take the critics at their word, but I think this gives us enough cause to not assume the movie is utterly horrible and should be boycotted. The only opinions that are valid are from those who've seen the movie, not from those whose judgements are still clouded by whatever agenda they subscribe to.

That's certified fresh at 74%.

No it's not. You need 80+ reviews and above 75% to earn certified fresh for a blockbuster (though the percentage can slip down some after earning it).

Sure Ratzi Boy. Sure.

Seems spot on to me.....All 5 points do.

Meh. I'm still not going to see this. Paul Feig has been too much of c.unt throughout this entire ordeal(Which is a shame, because I love Freaks & Geeks and when he was in Heavyweights), and everything about this flick screams soullessness. Sony has also cynically exploited legitimate points about sexism, which kinda pisses me off.
