These fascist corporations can cut off the public from voicing an opinion, but they can’t make the public buy something they don’t want. And they don’t want the SJW propaganda shoved in their face.

Make a good movie and people will come. Make dreck like the Ghostbusters remake and the corporate bottom line suffers. The question is, are companies really willing to go broke being woke.

They are lying about this. Most sites reporting on this say that fake reviews of the movie were being posted to drive down the numbers. A pure lie. This was a poll on Rotten Tomatoes asking people if they were interested in seeing the movie or not, something they do for all films. It was not people saying the movie sucked or anything, just that they wanted to or not, and why. Some people don't like the star who has said several comments like how she plans to not answer questions from white men at press junkets or how she doesn't think white men should be allowed to be film critics of movies about or by women. The numbers were terrible, around 50/50 which is pretty bad because people usually won't even bother participating unless they are looking forward to the movie. It was an embarrassment and Disney surely flexed some muscles to get this film special treatment.

On the plus side...
YouTube channels like RedLetterMedia, TheDishonoredWolf, and others won’t hold back at all.
If a movie sucks, they’ll tear it to shreds.

I’m looking forward to watching that more than the movies.

They weren’t reviews.

Please don’t post bullshit fake news from The Hill, you’re just helping it spread.

Are they familiar with the Streisand Effect?

>>“As a white male i dont think Brie would want me watching this movie,” user Nigel B wrote, according to Yahoo. “Larson has made it clear…men need not attend this movie,” user Joseph U said. Yahoo noted that such trolling on review sites has happened before with films like the all-female “Ghostbusters” reboot.

How queer they don’t have the quote where she says this movie isn’t made for white males, they should skip it, it’s for minorities and women.

They will give a review that is all positive from now on as long as they are paid off by the studio.

Rotten Tomatoes has lost all credibility as an honest, unbiased review website.

Rotten Tomatoes is just a shill company owned by Comcast and Warner Brothers. Rotten Tomatoes is ROTTEN TO THE CORE!

Their "reviews" and "ratings" are UTTERLY WORTHLESS.

I used to faithfully check out RT, but no more. They don't care a wit about the movie going public's interests or views. All RT cares about is selling movie tickets and taking our money while they tell us to "shut up and sit down".

"Larson has made it clear…men need not attend this movie,”

Well, she has a point.

Larson was miscast.
