It's getting more pathetic by the day,they may as well just take everything that Star Wars ever was and flush it ..oh wait,too late

Pure cowardice on their part. If they believed in their product they would take the good and the bad.

I think that was the main problem,there were no good reviews just all bad.

What really pissed me off is that because it's women who are effing with everything we hold sacred I,as a woman am supposed to applaud them??? Erm no,you ladies of new star wars are an embarrassment to not just star wars in its entirety but also to vagina's.

I'm embarrassed to share anything in common with these woke wifeys😔

I feel you. I have been told and gotten all bad on somethings I have done before. I just took my lumps and got better at whatever it was. Like my mentor says, "Desire to become a better player, do not desire instead to change the game or cheat the system."

If people put as much effort into the job at hand as they do into thinking up ways to,as you say,cheat the system,what a world we could have🥰

In silencing Fans, they are showing us they don't need us. We should take the hint, and stop bothering them with or problematic presence...

they won't miss us. We should return the sentiment.

I’ve just checked and it’s there again. Enough people must have complained!!

Truly converged when the purpose of the product no longer functions.

Reminds me of the Stone Toss comic. "Burgers?"

There are ways to make great stories about race and racism. One such movie was Just Mercy, which actually scored an near perfect 99% with the audience, as opposed to 85% with the critics.

One Spanish language critic who didn't like it claimed the following: 'Yes, the story is touching, but the movie generates more pity than anger. A mistake, once racism in the United States remains as rampant as ever.'

It's also quite possible to write, direct and create great movies that have diverse casts, which avoid proselyting the modern message of divisiveness common to so many modern films.

Although some question the casting of Timothée Chalamet in the role of Paul Atreides, Dune and Dune: Part Two successfully allowed current day audiences to experience the once in a generation feel of participating in something more than a series of movies, as many of us felt when the Original Star Wars was released and younger audiences experienced when Peter Jackson took on the daunting task of bringing Lord of the Rings to the Big Screen. Regardless, both Dune films were instant cinematic classics and remained relatively true to the lore. I even preferred the way the topic of religion was handled in the movie. It would have been difficult to convey the Bene Gesserit's cynicism manipulation of religion quite so well, without making a major character a mouthpiece for the rejection of such manipulation. To be honest I thought the second movie might be less well-received by the woke, given the major world religion the movie was particularly and subtly critical of, but then I remembered that their movement isn't known for its subtlety or nuance.

My point would be this- most people watch most content most of the time because they want to be entertained and indulge in a little harmless escapism from the daily drudge and a media landscape which alternately barrages us with fear, anger and apocalypse porn. One could be forgiven for not knowing that by most economic and social metrics the world experienced its best year ever in 2023- something which has been true of most years this century (and I bet you can guess the exceptions). Let's face it our legacy media has been selling us a false bill of goods for quite a while, at witnessed by the profound difference many readers feel having read Steven Pinker's Enlightenment Now! It really doesn't help that when we go to one of our past sources of light relief, we risk being invited to join the cult.

I do feel sorry for the actors though, regardless of the occasional outburst. Consider finding out that what you imagined might be your big break turned out to be little more than a steaming turd.

Rotten Tomatoes just made itself irrelevant.

If the audience has no say, then hollywood might as well be big brother.

We know that the showrunner of the Acolyte wanted to Mary Sue herself into the show, along with her queer politics.

Star Wars putridum cadaver

Why even bother with allowing reviews and ratings if they're just gonna keep whining and fussing about 'review bombing'?

Rotten Tomatoes? You also like to use MapQuest to print out directions? 🤌🏻

Also. Who the fuck goes on RT anymore. Quick look at douchey comments on IMDB, and I’m good to go.

Not gonna get started. Horrible acting + ghey script. Filoni gonna get a hold of season 2 and right the ship. This was all made before he replaced Lucas.

Don’t like the answers? Stop asking the question.

I presume RT doesn’t generate any income and is wholly subsidized by major investors who must include studios and distributors. I doubt they have any ability to pushback against investor requests and bend right over when asked. It’s an unfortunate statement about our digital landscape, but the only way the creators of these types of sites can get a payout is from massive funding cycles making them absolute tools of the industry and not public commons.

What in the psychotic geometry we have here. If it’s such a “good show” and the “review bombing” is finished as the mainstream media claims and while shilling so hard to please Disney/Lucusfilm, why hide the ratings at all? *weird, weird* 🤔
