    I'm talking about the films reception with the public is very similar to that when TPM came out (not the film). I remember people coming out the cinema and not really knowing what to say, very similar with what i saw the two times I've seen it this week.

    You lot are paranoid.

    At least nobody has blamed Russia or North Korea yet for all the negative reviews.

    Well accept Rian and Disney maybe.

    Personally I blame the illuminati and the lizard people who-really-run-everything. All hail them!

    I guess I'm paranoid. But you're being naive.

    I accept Rian and Disney with open arms. ST is soooo far ahead of quality than PT it's much welcomed.

    MASTER Code Breaker was a Hackerman, so powerful and so wise he could use Bots to influence the ratings to create discussions.

    Unfortunately, very smart users on thecantina board saw through the lies of the ratings and find the truth. The ended the discussions.

    Fair enough. I had happy people in my theatre.

    Long ago, the four groups of Star Wars fans lived in harmony; The original fans, the prequel fans (smallest group), the new generation, and everyone else. Then, everything changed when the evil bot empire attacked, brigading TLJ ratings.

    Only the avatar, the master of all four groups, could stop them. But when the world needed him most, he said "Fck it" and went fishing.

    A few days have passed and I've discovered the new avatar, a cantina forum user called cctru. Although he's untrained, I believe one day cctru can save the fandom.

    I love how one person's experience is suddenly happening all over the world...

    You all are at least entertaining with these conjured up perspectives from literally no valid proof.. as in dollars and cents proof..

    Lol, but keep coming with those spambot user reviews as your hardcore evidence, I'm almost running out of popcorn here
    --- Double Post Merged, Dec 19, 2017, Original Post Date: Dec 19, 2017 ---
    exactly, both times I went, there were standing ovations...

    You don't see me trying to use that to extrapolate "evidence" to support the idea that it's is only loved and not hated.

    These folks literally have my stomach hurting with laughter... good emtertainment

    I know. I was sarcastically countering him. :)))))

    People have also started a thread looking to JJ for hope. Forgetting he executive produced TLJ and said he wanted to direct the script. He approved lol.

    Any time their site has been met with any sort of controversy, they've used the same kind of floaty, faux-diplomatic language to answer to any issue that they might have. It's pure face-saving PR and should absolutely be treated as such.

    A lot of major sites would look a lot different if all bots were extinguished overnight. Twitter is a big one that would be affected, and it's part of the reason why that site hasn't gone belly-up in spite of being financially unsustainable...

    I think I'm gonna check out on this thread. You have to be disconnected from reality not to see what's happening in the open polls like RT vs. scientific audience scores.

    Clearly this film is more decisive than the last one, but we're still looking at 10% of the audience who is really upset. This really isn't even debatable.

    So it has been confirmed that the guy was truthful? Good. Now, show me the evidence for this.

    This thread seem to imply that nobody really disliked the movie except bots, trolls and agents from the alt-right. Despite the fact that we were told that the film would be divisive before it was released.

    Nobody here is implying that only bots and trolls and agents of hydra or whatsoever are disliking the movie, we are talking about that there exist bots in rotten tomatoes ( and metacritic) that might be affecting ( not sure how much) the audience raiting for the movie like we are have been showing. we know that there are people who really dislike the movie, but it does not change the fact that this audience rating is abnormal when compared to other sources such as IMBD, and we compare it with cinemascore (yes TPM got a -A, but unlike TLJ, the prequels got also a terrible criticism, in addition to the bad user review). I do not mention income because Star Wars usually brings them.

    Yeah i remember that non answer. Simply saying "there's not logical argument" is a coppout. You wanted an explanation to my "bold claim". I gave it. I pointed out how finn was on a repeat of his arc from TFA. I pointed out how luke was on the same arc he was on from ESB-ROTJ. I pointed out all the narrative threads that are completely ignored. I didn't even get into pointless scenes like rey's cave experience. A scene that were written for no other reason than to set up expectations in order to subvert them.

    Instead of slowing down and examining what I said, you just throw a non response at it and call it a day. Really? "unproven" plot holes? Like the plot hole where holdo keeps her plan a secret for no logical reason? Like the plot hole where ghost luke pulls out anakin's saber while kylo ren, who'd just been involved in a tug of war that destroyed the saber, doesn't notice something is up? Why are you back here bringing this up? You already decided you had nothing to argue with.

    jesus man, what do you have some axe to grind? You didn't even get the point of what i said since you're so busy trying to even some non existent score.

    The RT "Audience Score" is Bantha Poo Doo.

    Using IMDB's 140,000+ votes and looking at the them the same way as RT (3.5/5 or greater is "liked" or 7/10 for IMDB).....82% "liked" by IMDB.....

    It'd be easier to accept for Ben because he actually trained for decades under two different masters.
