What explains such huge discrepancy between user reviews and professional reviews?
I noticed it more in recent films, but having recently watched 5th element, I realized that it's actually not something new (pic related).
User reviews vs professional reviewers
Xavier Reed
Oliver James
Honestly both are shit but user reviews are even more shit
Jason Watson
>metacritic film reviews
everyone either votes 0 or 10, same with IMDB, use Letterboxd instead
David King
Letterboxd? More like Letterbotsd
Angel Evans
before the internet:
>people are easier to please than critics, who spend just about every waking hour watching a movie
after the internet:
>"critics" have to suck every dick as hard as possible in order to get the adbux and early access necessary to get traffic as a critic.
James Howard
>user reviews are even more shit
at least they're not pretentious
Liam Nguyen
Wyatt Jackson
Professional reviewers know how to watch movies, user reviewers don't.
Brayden Morris
>implying there's a correct way to watch movies
Gabriel Hernandez
Yes, I am implying that.
Leo Young
The masses have become increasingly dumbed down with corporately designed repetative bullshit and have lost track of what true quality actually is.
On the flip side, the "professional" review scene, particularly in hollywood (for film) and the Northwest (for gaming) have become increasingly obsessed with political ideologies being less transparent and using their employment as a way to push socially progressive agendas.
The result is two sides exhibiting an incredibly tribalistic nature towards each other while both get further way from true objective analysis.
Grayson Sanchez
Look just fucking listen to the critics OK, they have far more experience judging cinema than the masses
Colton Rodriguez
most viewers are brainlets
I always go by critic reviews
Grayson Williams
how good is fifth element?
Robert Young

Andrew Gray

The "professionals" here are mentally ill
Gavin Flores
Most critics nowadys don't care about what makes a good movie (story, cinematography, character developement ...) anmyore, just if it fits their political agenda. You can make a mediocre movie, just add some "strong women" and PoC, plus some gay relationships and you'll get a great score.
Easton Phillips
Use your eyes, moron. Ideally you should be seated, and facing the screen directly. Not complicated.
Ayden Thomas
companies game review aggregators hard now
Camden Garcia
this
Zachary James
in fifth element case its cos its pretty good but it's so fruity i wouldn't be caught dead admitting that as a critic
Ryan Bailey
Movie critics are pretentious twats and also sometimes bought off
Hudson Green
The Dunning-Kruger is strong in this one.
Benjamin Davis
>Dunning-Kruger
Pffft, how's psych 101 going?
Ethan Reed
Users give either 10s for movies they love or 0s for movies they hate. Can't be trusted.
Critics are far more objective and will rarely give anything below 2/5 stars or above 4/5. You may not like it but critics scores are objectively more accurate than audience scores.
Jacob Jackson
Except when money is involved lol
Carter Hill
explain this pic
Colton Adams
It may come as a surprise to you but people other than you know about stuff beyond what they get force-fed in schools or universities.
But I totally understand why this is a concept alien to you.
Dominic Barnes
this is when I knew never to trust reviewers
Ian Rogers
>I read this wikipedia article...
WHOA DUDE.
Oliver Bell
>dunning kruger
>literally everyone on the internet knows this
>thinks he's some tough shit for bringing it up
Jacob James
>critic reviews
Does this movie check off certain boxes that I'm told a movie needs to get a good review
>audience review
Is this the movie that I wanted to see based on its advertising
Cameron Bell
What you thought I was saying
>I am smart
What I was actually saying
>You are dumb
Owen Davis
But wait, a second ago, only people who attended psych 101 knew this? Why the (desperate, reeking of shit in your pants) goalpost moving?
Robert Reed
As dumb as someone who conjured up some convoluted bullshit about requiring know how to watch a movie? Unlikely.
>muh logicul fallacy
Did you get raped in high school or something? Have sex.
Luke Bailey
oof!
Benjamin Gonzalez
>goalpost moving

Kayden Parker
>As dumb as someone who conjured up some convoluted bullshit about requiring know how to watch a movie? Unlikely.
That's gonna be tough for you to swallow, but you are sadly mistaken that it is unlikely for you being dumber than I am. The truth is, it is a fact.
>Did you get raped in high school or something? Have sex.
No and I had sex yesterday. Not tooting my own horn here, I just know that when I say that you
1.) Know, deep inside, it's the truth
2.) Completely seethe at it
3.) WILL reply to my post and make EVERY effort to make it look like 1. and 2. are not true.
Come on. Hit me with all you got. No, seriously. Give me your best shot.
Parker Johnson
Samefag (increasingly agitated) btw.
Christopher Jackson
>people disagree with the retarded idea that you need some prerequisites to watch a movie
>they must be samefags!
speaking of psych 101, look up persecution complex
Tyler Moore
Cringe.
Eli Wood
If we're gonna take time to make user here eat crow...
Ryder Cox
Oh, look. You fired up your browser's dev tools and removed two (You) strings from the DOM.
Holy shit, the absolute gnawing desperation on you.
Holy fucking shit.
And stop the samefagging already.
Logan Green
>this level of delusion
>believes he is being conspired against
Chase Ortiz
Only retards care about rotten tomatoes scores
Jaxson Miller
Not that user but he's right : this the Denning Krueger effect x10
William Gomez
>he screencaps his devtool DOM edits twise to increase likelihood anyone is gonna fall for his shit
Samefag and
>one increasingly agitated, desperate autist fighting a losing battle can be considered a "conspiracy"
Ryder Cox
Wow, so it's not a conspiracy? You're actually an increasingly agitated desperate autist? For your own sake, stop posting.
Jonathan Walker
you still didn't explain how professional reviewers "know how to watch movies"
Jace Barnes
>no u
If I had to guess, my guess would be that I have broken you by now.
Jeremiah Nguyen
They have a more formal educational background which provides them context for properly analyzing, deconstructing and interpreting movies.
Charles Anderson
>movie review centrist
Oh what a novelty
Gavin Sullivan
the average person is a pleb moron who likes any fucking dumbed down garbage force fed to them
critics on the other hand are braindead shills, who suck the dick of any film they are paid to suck the dick of
Brayden Ward
Fifth Element was such a great movie, I don't care what the score is.
