Devin Faraci of B.M.D. (a known Marvel fanboy) is a reviewer that Rotten Tomatoes has verified.

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

because RT is owned by WB.

I agree with everything you just said but NBC Universal bought RT in February. WB only has a minor stake in Fandango now. WB has zero control over who is verified on RT.

I think if I placed @wire28 on ignore he might have a stroke

Keep trying to change the subject breh.

I attack DC as well.

This means marvel paid critics, YouTube reviewers and the general public for bad BvS reviews

Timeout...what the fukk is going on? @FlyRy hit me on this and I have no idea what's going on because of the pissing contests going on. So @saysumthinfunnymike you're saying Devin works for Marvel with proof or you're just saying he's biased? Where's the controversy?

 

[MartyMcFly]

I haven't read into this enough to have an opinion either way but to say IGN and Uproxx wouldn't exist without Disney exclusives is....odd, to say the least. IGN's bread and butter is video games. I don't really know anybody that checks IGN for movie reviews. And 99% of Uproxx front page has nothing to do with movies.

I will browse the thread though, because like I said I just seen this Alert.

Fred.

Yeah uproxx (which is the website that pays me ) would survive without them and IGN's bread and butter is video games. And the IGN review wasn't exactly glowing. Jim's review was tepid at best and he said it's a good film that could've been great but has its issues so he wasn't slobbering anyone's knob. IGN doesn't need marvel

I don't know why the nikka hit you up lol but basically Devin is not quiet about his love for all things Marvel. He admits that he is biased. Unfortunately he is the one spreading several false rumors concerning DC films so it definitely furthers that issue and his reviews (among other people) are tallied in the RT score meter...

What it boils down to is that RT shouldn't be taken seriously when considering some of the people who are verified on the site.

should we take the box office seriously?

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Sure, why not. I see where you're going with it. Batman v. Superman is at $800M after three weeks. If it crosses the billion mark which was originally what everyone was saying they wanted it to make then it's a success. If it falls short at like $925M you'll call it a complete failure. I already know

do your thing breh

Doesn't work like that breh. One, it's film criticism not politics or national news. Ultimately at the end of the day, you like what you like and it's hard as hell to be impartial in film criticism because its a personal thing. It's all about how a film works for you and what it does to you and for you. In a perfect world it wouldn't work like that but it's not a perfect world and we're not created by Skynet

2ndly, regardless of how I feel about Devin at times, and he can be obnoxious as hell along with dismissive and smarmy, he's a smart cat when it comes to film and his actual journalistic bonafides are beyond reproach. If he says he heard something, or reports something, then that's what he heard and I don't have a reason to not believe him. That doesn't mean things don't change from the minute he reports them to the minute the movies are out. I'll never forget one of the producers on the first burton batman flick say that a script is just a blueprint and when you get on set, things change or things can change or things get revised. Does he get it wrong at times? Of course, that's the nature of the beast but that doesn't mean he's out and out lying, just means he was wrong or things changed or his information may be bad.

and third, yeah he admits he's biased toward marvel. He's said it, he wrote a whole article about it on his site but that's not going to stop him from being a critic or having a website or having credentials and connects and inside sources. Journalism is about building relationships.

actually i was more curious as to why certain movies at another studio were grossing almost double.

marvel paying people in the general public to go see the movie 15 times?

I'm not saying he shouldn't have a site or work his connects. I'm saying RT is a terrible metric because of these biases. Anyone who says "Well RT said..." I can't take seriously. You have to watch a film and judge it for yourself.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

There have been 12 movies from the MCU. 3 of them made more than Batman v Superman. So what? Why should I care about that? I watch all of these movies. There's a lot of factors at play. Jurassic World made more than any Marvel movie. Does that mean anything? Furious 7 made more than Age of Ultron. What does that mean?

End of the day, you don't work for any of these studios far as I know..

Devin, Screen Junkies and a couple other RT critics are clearly Marvel bias, this is how they get exclusive interviews for their site. Problem is that RT has no system in place to find out who's bias and who's not. For example, a reviewer from Vanity Fair posted on Twitter that she hates Zack Snyder and all his movies because of a scene in Watchmen. She ended up giving MOS a rotten review because his suit was too dark and he didn't go into a phone booth like Reeves (Reeves never went into a phone booth). Then you have reviewers like this:

“Finally, a big budget superhero sequel that manages to be both effortlessly entertaining and utterly sobering, instead of just one of those things-or, as we've endured too frequently in the past, neither of them. (Looking at you, Batman v Superman.)” – Jen

That claim that they aren't bias. I just think RT needs a new system
