    Really? Jumanji is at 81% like on TR. How in the world is that film above TLJ? That is a film franchise (if you want to call it that) that ought to have remained dormant. Batman vs. Superman, a film that I thought was okay, is rated higher on RT right now than TLJ by some margin. If that's not a concerted effort by a small minority to discredit the film then I don't know what is.

    A couple of weeks ago my son wanted to watch Batman vs Superman on Itunes. So we rented it. I really did not want to watch it. However, in the end it was quite a laugh. I enjoyed it.

    I did not enjoy TLJ one bit.

    Therein lies your problem.

    It's critical v audience dissonance.

    Jumanji is apparently one of those "terrible sequel ideas, but with hard work and effort is actually kinda good" films.

    he's also claiming in that statement that he's still botting the user score.

    Yeah the review sites don't wanna admit they are being brigaded. It'd be like admitting you have large security flaws in your high tech allotment.

    I think it’s disgusting. A combination of paid off critics and people who know nothing about Star Wars and just saw this movie as a standalone film.

    Well done! Every sentence you said was false!

    Noone was paid off, a lot of people who liked TLJ liked TFA. Critics are being legit, its the USER score that’s proven to be brigaded. To be NEGATIVE. Yes, haters pathetically hating on the films.

    I love Star Wars. The OT saved me from depression and I love moments of the PT that did the same. Trust me, I know about SW. More than you it seems, as such pale hatred goes against the themes of the film.

    I liked TLJ. And I didn’t see it as a stand-alone SW film, but as a flawed product of Canon like all the other films.

    Deal with these facts. People legitimately liked the film, and your negative hate filled cynical green goggles are only ruining life for you.

    You hated it. We get it. Move on, don’t whinge like a baby.

    I wanted to love the movie but for people who know Star Wars know how inconsistent and destructive it is to the movies ethos

    You are a gatekeeper. Excellent.

    What I meant was I’m just as much of a SW fan as you, but I’m not falling into the hatred trap of dissing other people for their opinion of TLJ.

    It’s not about specific knowledge of the franchise, i was saying I had more love and respect for it as a fan. Because i realise that other people can have opposite opinions about it, than mine.

    Your gatekeeping cut and paste response proves my point.

    I never did, people can like the film. I for one hate it. This is a discussion forum some people will like the film some will hate it.
    No problem at all, but you can’t expect everyone who hates the film to hate life lol. I love life and while I always wanted to love TLJ it’s okay hoelfily they will listen to criticism and do things better next time.

    Did I ever say that? I was countering your heavy negativity.

    I’m very relaxed about this. And Well done! You immediately dismissed me as another 100% loving fan despite me admitting its a flawed product.

    See you say “inconsistent and destructive to the movie’s ethos” like its vinegar and has ruined the OT for you.

    Fck no. The OT is still there. It’s not gonna magically vanish or be tainted. Stop gatekeeping.
    --- Double Post Merged, Dec 20, 2017, Original Post Date: Dec 20, 2017 ---
    You were pretty dismissive of every other fan and critic in your original post.

    I disagree with you. It’s called perspective.

    This is just f*ing nasty. You see the same thing at the IMDB. Though the IMDB has a few more mechanics in place to counter this type of vote capping, it can be easily circumvented though by just physically making as many accounts as you can and upvoting 1/10 user reviews.

    Paid off critics? You mean they paid off every critic around the globe? :p

    Yeah I was because it’s not a 93% movie.

    It’s not on par with empire. It has everything plotholes and subplots that go nowhere which are absent in the OT
    --- Double Post Merged, Dec 20, 2017, Original Post Date: Dec 20, 2017 ---
    Yep sums it up and being paid off doesn’t automatically mean they get money. The director is very open and friendly with critics. People can be paid off in other ways than just monetary.

    Why is she not legit? Because you don't like her opinion? Because you don't like more women in Star Wars?

    You can actively paint any criticism, positive or negative, professional or fan-based, with your bias.
