^ I feel like many professional critics can't actually be that critical of things that are super popular. If they go in too hard on something so well loved as star wars, they will lose readers and there goes their careers.
You see this a LOT in videogames. The call of duty games have been utter trash for many years, but the franchise is so insanely popular that review sites are afraid to trash any cod games so they give all of them good scores regardless of the quality of the game. If they give it a bad score, people will just stop going to the site, ad revenue drops...
I'd rather just read user scores, people that have no stake in any of this. If something sucks, they'll just say it. When I see ep8 has a 91% approval from critics, but go anywhere online and you can clearly see that so many people hate this movie, I dont think that 91% is accurate at all. It's not representative of what people are actually saying. That 51% is definitely much closer to reality.
- Thats not to say people cant like this movie, or its a fact that its bad. Its all just opinions of course, but I just dont trust professional reviewers anymore.CygnusZero4
