No.

But then again, I don't have paranoid delusions, nor do I believe in conspiracies. So...

Exactly. Hamill isn’t going to do a 180 like that all of a sudden. The criticism of this movie is warranted. It’s not true to the OT and it’s not even true to the last damn movie they made. TLJ just sits out there on its own.

A conspiracy? It's a known fact that big studios do this. Sony got in a lot of trouble for it a few years ago.

When 95% of reviewers love something that gets such a low audience score, something is definitely going on.

And don't forget that a lot of what many would term negative reviews were still technically given "fresh" ratings. It's basically pass/fail on there.

Sorry, I can't find the best eye-roll gif for this. There's too many.

It is in no way a conspiracy that critics are paid off or cowed into supporting these movies by threatening their access.

Sony did that in 2002.

So because Sony got in trouble for this, it's proof that Disney is doing this?

No, it is simply proof that it happens.

In this situation, it is simply a case of RT giving “fresh” reviews where they aren’t warranted. You can go through the critic reviews and see that for yourself.

If Disney is paying them off or threatening them, I have no proof.

I don’t know why y’all are defending this movie so vehemently.

It wasn’t good by any stretch of the word.

It's simply proof that Sony did this in 2002 and they got in trouble for it. And as I've stated previously, I'm not "defending" this film.

Timmy is a clear SJW cuck, and this movie absolutely works for him.

And as a giant media conglomerate, Disney doesn't have to pay off a lot of journalists - because they already pay them salaries, because they work for the numerous Disney-owned media outlets.

The biggest takeaway from this whole thing is just how many "adult" nerds there are in this country. I understand liking/disliking a movie. But seeing this many people get overly emotional (on both sides) about a space fantasy movie is a bit absurd.
