    I can spam this thread too!
    Fact #1
    TLJ is doing big business and exceeding box office predictions.
    http://deadline.com/2017/12/star-wa...c-imdb-users-cinemascore-posttrak-1202228837/

    Fact #2
    Rival studios believe the cinemascores are correct and that online polls like RT are being trolled.
    http://deadline.com/2017/12/star-wars-the-last-jedi-tuesday-rakes-in-20-4m-1202230506/

    Fact #3
    Online petitions are completely meaningless.

    Yes it is massive conspiracy to keep down this great piece of cinema history

    It ranks right up there with Area 51 and who killed Kennedy.

    No, I’m linking to respected media sites like Showbiz 411 and The Drudge Report and posting stories that they have posted. I didn’t write this stuff.

    The Deadline link you posted was from three days ago. What I posted is up to date and more accurate in regards to this conversation. TLJ’s opening weekend numbers were excellent, but there has been a drastic fall off since in comparison to TFA

    Again, you posted a story that is out of date. Rotten Tomatoes came out today and said their numbers are correct

    Well I have seen A LOT of people on these boards and over the internet that hated the movie who went to see it more times than people who loved it...

    Is The Last Jedi becoming a BDSM thing? ;)

    .. not only that dude, because if their system is vulnerable no one in the internet would believe in their ratings syste anymorem if they were so easy to manipulate. Like I said they have to protect their image that they are realiable to the world ( or the internet at least) in regards of movie raitings. Also Metacritic has been bombed with positive and negative reviews before, for example in games like assains creed origins and wolfenstein 2

    I woudln't call it a backlash but I think that Rian could have avoided some of the controversy if he had listened to Mark Hamill.

    Sites who push an opinion. And opinions don't count for much when they're trying to persuade you of something not completely true. And I can say, I have a different opinion. My opinion is based on a fact of my observation. My observation is different. Can you verify my observation? No Fact. The Pacific ocean is the largest ocean.

    Untested claim. Everyone hates it. Showbiz 411 and Drudge Report are respected sites. Untested claim. While pushing an opinion as fact from other sources just as you are.

    Yes, but it’s down 42% compared to the same day for TFA...Solid numbers for TLJ, but clearly a STEEP decline from The Force Awakens. This isn’t debatable. You may not like the Drudge Report or Roger Friedman, but they are reporting the FACTS as reported in this article

    Jar Jar video, basically he is known for edit videos and take Mark's word out of context. Mark is professional and he would not badmouth the work of his colleagues, don't you think?

    From another troller named JarJar Abrams who manipulates videos and uploads partial interviews. Mark also happened to disagree and butted heads with Irwin Kirshner the director of ESB too.

    The Last Jedi is down 42% from the same day of release as The Force Awakens...This is not opinion, it is a black and white fact

    It's all about the mindset. Of you go in twice with the same mindset, you get the same result. I suggest those people going again, the next time being open to the fresh stylistic techniques, as well as recognizing a callback when it appears.

    I've disagreed with "Jar Jar Abrams" in the past but Mark's views in this video are 100% true.

    He's made it clear that he feels this trilogy isn't true to Lucas' vision..
