You are wrong and your feelings do no matter. This film isn't hated and the quotes are taken out of context to promote an agenda. It's fine but you're just butthurt over it. This film was fantastic and art is subjective. The critics approve, sport.
Yeah right, it's barely keeping up with Rogue One and is light years away from TFA's BO. People have been tearing this thing a new assh*ole on RT, Metacritic, and all over the Internet. And no, nothing was hacked, it has the same number of ratings and reviews TFA had at the time.
I'm not surprised a whelp like you likes this feminist garbage though. I can smell the estrogen emanating off every post you make.

You mean like Attack of the Clones and Transformers? Lmao.
So? the RT ratings don't mean anything more than the audience ratings. Especially not when Disney owns half the entertainment industry and critics can't afford to shit on their big blockbusters. The haters excuse doesn't fly when this is literally the lowest rated Star Wars ever made. Not even TPM and AotC gathered this much vitrol, probably because they didn't shit on the OT and introduce massive plot holes that affect the whole series.
TLJ is not making bank lol. It had a huge opening weekend thanks to the good will from TFA, but that's gone now. The real test is the dropoff and TLJ failed hard there, it has a higher drop off than even BvS. The toy sales are underperforming as well, I guess little boys didn't want to play with Rey, Rose and Finn toys (who would have figured), while girls have no interest in Star Wars at all. Remember that Disney shilled out 4 billion for this franchise. Anything less than 1.5 billion will be seen as a failure by Disney. At this rate the movie will barely break even.

TFA was the first Star Wars film in years so no shit it was going to make more than this one. Plenty of people loved it and I used to hear the same nonsense over the prequels and now the same people are saying they weren't so bad. You're butthurt over the film. Snoke destroyed her. He's a male you dunce. Kylo's loss was explained and he's a superior duelist so again he's a male. You're an idiot who is focused on the gender more so than the story.
The film is great. Your pain is also a bonus. Please cry when you watch it.

Good luck with that. Even if it beats R1 it will still underperform. Yeah, people loved TFA, unlike TLJ. That's kinda the problem.
Lmao, Rey equaled Kylo with NO TRAINING. Then there's Admiral tumblr hair, the frankly insane "capitalism is bad" shit from the casino planet, the veganism shilling, the marxism shilling, and the fact that every white male is either a villain or incompetent, or both. There is no story, the entire movie was 4-5 B plots and no main plot.
I already saw it, soyboy. I was one of the first people here, who commented on it.
The author of the article paints a very inaccurate picture. TFA and R1, while opening at a similar time to TLJ, operate very differently due to the proximity of Christmas (they were closer so more schools were out and therefore they had better holds). Comparing TLJ to the other films is ridiculous as they all came many years ago (RotS being the most recent came out more then a decade ago) and the box office results tended to be far less frontloaded. TLJ has a tremendous opening weekend and has had adequate weekday holds; in no way is the film “underperforming”. When all is said in done it will be the second biggest SW film of all time and, if we adjust for inflation, third biggest.
Ares, the reason TLJ is so front-loaded is because it doesn't have any legs. TFA had legs because it was inoffensive and reminded them of ANH. TLJ is getting terrible word of mouth. It won't be a flop but anything less than 1.5 billion is going to be underpeformance in Disney's eyes. I mean even capeshit and F&F movies make 1+ billion these days. They didn't spend so much money on Star Wars for average BO. Worse yet, Solo and IX will suffer because of VIII's reception. I promise you IX won't have nearly as big of an opening weekend.

Both of which were well received by the fans when it came out, yeah.
Are you trolling or are you too young to remember AotC and Transformers? Everyone shat on them.

I’m saying it isn’t frontloaded though, at least so far it hasn’t proven to be and it's way to early to make any definitive statements. It’s holding adequately, not great but not terrible either.
We'll see how IX does once it's released.

There is a whole bunch of (very) selectively edited footage on the internet that tries to make out that Mark hates the movie and everything about it,
In all likelihood he is contractually prohibited from saying anything negative about the movie, franchise, studio, for X years. He is in a unique position where if he said it’s shit, the film would lose money. And the studio could try to sue him for damages if he spoke his mind. Not to mention, he’d likely forfeit any future payouts, residuals, etc. last but not least, there’s the old saying “you’ll never work in this town again.” The entertainment industry came up with that idea, and they stick to it.
Here's the truth of the matter. Hamill isn’t happy with it, and he’s made it clear. If/when he is permitted to speak his mind, I’m sure his critique will be scathing.
and apparently the historically low rotten tomatoes score is due to fake troll accounts.
Hilarious accusation. It's just as likely that the positive reviews are paid accounts to shill for the movie. Based on a first glance, the negative audience reviews seem to go into more detail about the film than those who rated four or five stars, leaving menial comments such as "great film, brill visuals" and "Kylo Ren is Amazing".
Seems a lot of people want to hate this movie quite badly kek.
Yep, It was a bad movie.
