49% ROTTEN: WORST STAR WARS EVER

The rating behavoir you mention always assumes to rate just to worsen or to improve the current rating. It is not about rating a movie itself. That's were the difference lies beteen rating groups. Some IMDB users are rating movies the other
want to influence the rating result. For example I am a movie rater and I would rate a really bad movie 3-4/10 a mediocre one 5-6/10 a good one 7-8/10 and a brilliant one 9-10/10 ony in very few times I would go to the lowest rating of 1 just because of respect for the workers in the cast an crew involved.

Have you seen the prequels?

As someone who wants to be a critic and has worked very hard to get to that place because he respects the job. I doubt many critics would take pay-offs or want to appease the studio. Those critics get paid either way, and not from the studio, so why do anything like that. Yes there was some phony stuff at Sony going on but that was Sony creating their own fake critic who would put a blurb on a poster saying Rob Schneider's The Animal is actually a movie worth watching. I honestly think this movie is getting a bit too much hate, it can't be worse than Attack of the Clones and Phantom Menace. Just can't.

I'm trying to go for an engaging, funny youtube channel so, if you have the time, take a look. Hope you enjoy what you see and if you have any thoughts or criticisms, i'd love to hear them. Thanks in advance. Review here-https://youtu.be/nerCnafPUm8

To all those who angrily burn when Rian supporters claim that he was right to destroy the old Star Wars ways, that Star Wars needed to be updated for modern audiences, that old fans had their time and it's passed, that it's time to cater to a new fan base with different tastes and expectations, that old fans need to either get on the bandwagon or be left behind with their outdated, archaic notions:

Yeah. They said the same thing about the new Ghostbusters movie. They said the same thing about 4th edition D&D. They said the same thing when Marvel Comics (print versions) defrocked Tony Stark, Thor, Bruce Banner, Clint Barton and Logan of their titles and gave them all to female or ethnic substitutes, made Captain America into a Nazi, made Iceman gay, made Peter Parker an irresponsible coward, made She-Hulk & Captain Marvel into virtual men, and introduced a new superheroine who was clearly bigoted against straight men & white people. They said out with the old and in with the new. They said get with the program or be left behind.

How's that working out for you 'new', avant garde fans?
(Ghostbusters is dead. 4th edition D&D was abandoned and 5th edition returned to the old ways. And Marvel's printed comics have nose-dived catastrophically, so they fired the EIC and they cancelled many poorly written token diversity titles.)

To the old-time Star Wars fans: Don't worry. When the 'new' Star Wars movies start showing losses or meager profits, when the licensed merchandise starts rotting on the shelves, when Disney realizes that their 'new' Star Wars means billions less in sales & revenues they expected to make, the 'new' Star Wars ways will be jettisoned and the old ways will be brought back. And the 'new' fans currently cackling with delight about the plight of old fans, will be howling with dismay when they're discredited and abandoned by Disney, just like the 'new' fans of Ghostbusters, 4th edition D&D, and token diversity Marvel Comics.

Still looks like 90% to me.

Also, those critics gave their review right after a star wars themed party. They didn't let the movie sit and digest before posting a review on how different, unexpected, and beautiful it was. They left a overwhelmingly positive environment where I'm sure it would not have been cool to say negative things about the big event movie that just played.

I would like to point out that many of the critics were not star wars fans so a lot of the things that upset hard core fans didn't affect them at all.

Many of my friends who are casual fans liked TLJ but I ask them about the Luke Milking scene or the fact that they threw everything out the window from TFA or the whole casino side quest that went no where or how stupid and unnecessary the Rose character was or how they turned Hux into a childish buffoon

Their response is always the same, kind of a blank stare followed by yeah which one was Rose again and who is Hux... I really liked the hyperspeed attack it looked cool. These are casual fans who have seen the previous movies once if even that. The ones who are confused which set of movies came first. To these people nothing in TLJ is all that upsetting because they are not invested in the mythology or the story ark.

It's kind of the same with me concerning the super hero movies... I liked Man of steel and Batman vs Superman also enjoyed justice league. But I could care less about that universe I'm a very casual fan who will go see a movie not concerned with how it connects to the source material or the other movies. I'll even skip a few movies here and there and have no interest to watch them.
