Another thing is that the press runs wild with negative DC rumors. Devin does this shyt on purpose, he found out that SS were reshooting and that's all he needed to spin it. shyt went to the top online entertainment sites and even the director had to speak on it. That's why I fukk with Umberto more, he got called out by James Gunn for doing that shyt, he apologized and is now working with both studios on the scoops front. How Devin still has his contacts? Idk, shyt is unprofessional imo. Also his site bans users for posting positive DC comments, shyt is weird brehs.

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. :manny:

RT literally has almost anyone who is anyone including actual critics from various newspapers. I don't see what makes that site lack credibility.

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

all you have to do is hit Top critics and you should be gucci.

Honestly I always felt RT was flawed and there are tons of Revisionist reviews. As for reviewers being paid off. Of course this happens. It's no different than Big Phrama paying off politicans. Bad Reviews can derail a movie and possibly hurt it's box office. So naturally sudios want to avoid that. "Reviews KILLED Fantastic 4 this past summer" I honestly think there was conspiracy with "BatsVSupes" reviews espeically when you see what "Iron Man 2 + 3, Thor 2" got. Please. The question is why would Marvel be scaed of competition when they are doing so well? Easy with no huge comp they can clean up every time with everything. But now Fox is making a comback with the last X-men movie and now "Deadpool" being a surprise hit and the new Xmen movie is looking like it might do well also.

People forget "The Dark Knight" was the first Billion Dollar comic book film and it came out the same year as "Iron Man 1" did so it's not like DC can't have success it's just they are doing this "Shared Universe" thing for the first time. "MOS" may have got average reviews but it still almost did 700 Million WW and which was way better than "Superman Returns". So box office wise DC is doing great but critically not so much. I'm sorry but if these critics called it like it was Marvel would of had a couple more"Rotten" films then currently. I didn't agree with them all the time but I'd take Siskel and Ebert over the Entire RT any day of the week. But people have to remember, all critics aren't created equal. At the end of the day you have to be a judge and the ultimate critic. I've watch films that have gotten horrible reviews and loved them.

Both "Bad Boys" films got trashed by critics and we all know there classics. Sometimes RT gets it right and they get it wrong. They aren't perfect and people need to stop acting like they are the end all be all. As for Devin, Yes he's a Marvel guy but I wouldn't say it's a conspiracy with him. "Civil War" just may be the better crafted film, with that said you can tell there are some Bias reviews against DC just by the tone of review. I've already read some "Civil War" reviews that litterally start out with "Unlike Batman V Superman", lol. I like Collider and Campea but I understand if people think they are in bed with Disneybecause of the "Star Wars" connection but I wouldn't say they are too bias because they talk about every movie and everything.

So you mean to tell me DC/Warner Bros. Spent 400 million dollars producing this film. And then forgot to grease the palms of the people that review the movies. :comeon: That seems unlikely to me. Just saying.

Breh...by your logic, jurassic world and the transformers movies shouldn't have worked because the critics hated those yet clearly the box office said "we don't care what you think" the palms aren't greased but then again, i don't prescribe to conspiracy theories

Is there even a film critic with enough clout to grease his palm and actually be worth a damn. Since Ebert died, who really gives a shyt about what the critic at Variety, or USA today thinks.

Jurassic world has a fresh rating.

Anyway, I think it's fairly obvious that faraci is a hack marvel fan boy.

But I digress. Thing is with DC, DC is by far the most talked about shyt on the Internet. All over. Every DC thread dwarfs other films threads. Any news or rumour gets huge legs.

Guys like mcweeny and faraci know this, they take their marvel bias,spin every DC news with negativity because it gets clicks.

As far as critics, I think it's painfully obvious most do have a Marvel bias. Thr 2 having a fresh RT score tells you everything you need to know.


As far as BvS, critics hate Snyder. It's as simple as that.

Anybody that doesn't realize critics are just people like anyone and can and do have a hive mind where they praise or hate on certain directors is a rube.

I think SS Wil be well reviewed

devin faraci is probably the best voice out there in geek film journalism, period. his insight and articulation is second to none. not saying i agree with him all the time (there's NO ONE out there i agree with 100% of the time) but when his opinion is in line with mine i tend to think he hammers points home like no one else.

and his review of MOS wasn't even that bad.


^ hardly someone that hated the film
:dwillhuh::mjlol::russ:
