You just try to undermine my opinions because you disagree with them. That’s fine. I don’t really take it personally. I understand some people are so invested in being wrong that they have no choice but to march forward with their decision in order to save some face.
Damn double post.
This is how Raz0r pays his rent people, leave him be.
Not everyone can be bothered to put in the same amount of effort as Affinity when it comes to shilling.
Rotten Tomatoes aggregates scores based on positive or negative, a yes or no answer. A lot of those positive reviews are coming from people who are giving it mediocre to average scores, people who are saying the movie isn’t good but it’s passable which counts the same as someone who says it’s the greatest movie of all time.
Metacritic actually calculates scores and gives an average out of 100. 3 out of 5 stars gets converted into a 60, C’s are 70’s, etc.
Both systems have their positives and negatives, sometimes one benefits a movie more than the other, and in this case with the movie getting so many middling reviews, Rotten Tomatoes benefits it much more. It’s giving the illusion that people really like the movie when in reality most reviewers are saying that the movie was merely just inoffensive.
Apparantly the IGN review was revised and adjusted up. I was looking into a lot of these positive reviews and I noticed a common trend throughout all of them.
1:) Make the opening point or some statment in the review about the “sexist” backlash and how fanboys hate women.
2;) Talk about what a great political message this sends to young girls.
3:) The reviewer has previously written articles defending the movie against fhe "sexist"backlash and has made it a point to say the new ghostbusters movie is a political act.
The majority of reviews removed from political bias all seem to agree that the movie is just "okay"but ultimately flawed. Interestingly enough even the positive reviews acknowledge the movie is very flawed but stil insist on a good review due to the political message.
Here’s a quick list of some the positive reviews and who wrote them.

Also the ghostbusters reddit has had a sudden surge of new accounts all acting extremely hateful towards the film, almost too picture perfect for any journalist to screen cap and say"look at all the sexism."
Journalists aren’t paid enough to pay people to create accounts to shit up a movie, stop being that guy.
And if I were to write a review of the movie, I’d most certainly lead with the sexist movement against this movie. You can’t be this stupid. It’s news related to the movie so why wouldn’t it be included?
Raz0r trying to rob Affinity’s gimmick, not cool man.
I like how none of these journalists talk about all the females who hate this movie and how the people against the “sexism” never seem to acknowledge them at all.
Must suck having people tell you your opinion and speak for your gender. Sad.
Nah Affinity posts at least have effort behind them and are fun to read. Raz0r is just wasting his and everyone else’s time.
Because it’s agenda driven propaganda that ultimately has nothing to do with the movie. Are you reviewing the movie based on the merits of the movie or are you reviewing it with the context that horrible sexist pigs hate this movie because it has women in it and how dare they not think this is a crowning achievement in humanity?
Because let me tell you, going into the movie with the latter mindset is going to affect how you feel about the movie as a product and will probably blind you to some of the issues the movie has. Reviews are opinions sure, but there is a level of objectivity you need to have to prevent your review from being affected by outside influences that have no bearing on what you’re reviewing. Does the sexist backlash against the movie make the movie better or worse? Is it a BETTER movie because “straight white cis males” were upset about it? No, those factors mean nothing to how well the movie was written, directed, acted, scored, or produced, and if that’s the case why does it matter for a review? It’s a clickbait hot button issue, and people who fall into this garbage should be ashamed of themselves.
Fuck yeah! Can’t wait till Friday!
Are you reporting the news or are you reviewing a movie?
Man you are absolute shit at your job bro, even just writing on here it’s a stretch imagining you doing this for a living, but then again when you have so called headlines that read “15 reason why your a cavernous vagina and why we need to address this RIGHT now!” I can see how you get work. I mean, hey people actually watch shit like Tmz so the bar is pretty fucking low.
I disagree. The tumultuous lead-up to the release of the movie is every bit as important as the movie itself and deserves to be spoken about in a movie review. It was big enough that it caused shit for everyone, from the studio to fans and everyone in between, so it should be recapped. It makes for a more compelling review.
You’re writing a review, not a documentary. It is not your job to record the annals of history of the film, it is your job to watch the film and then critique the merits of the film. You are confusing a reviewer with a journalist, outside factors should not even be considered because they have nothing to do with the movie.
You would make a shit reviewer.
Compelling is code for viral in this case as these so called journalist/paid reviewers have all the integrity of a random tweet shit out by a bot.
Films don’t happen in a vacuum. They are influenced by the world in which they exist. How could you not consider that when reviewing a film? Don’t you think the writers were moved to create a movie because of the world they live in? What about directing? Editing?
I could go on, but I’m sure even you get the point by now.
