All RT and most media reviews are fake, even the negative ones. Either you toe the line or stop being invited to premieres. If you stop being invited to premieres, your articles will get way less traffic and you will become less relevant as a reviewer simply due to momentum. Even the economist publishing an honest review is probably some form of contrarian payback. Maybe they didn't feel treated well enough considering the prestige of the publication or didn't get a private audience with Nolan. It's always been a shitshow, we just didn't know about it 20 years ago.
The most recent Star Wars trilogy proved it. Same situation. Everyone was ripping it another asshole while the RT scores just climbed and climbed. I forget which other movies it was, but it's absolutely rigged. Just like Zuckerborg has admitted to Congress that our "trending" feeds on FB and Instagram are manipulated in certain regions to influence elections or suppress actually trending news. It's all fake. They control everything we see.
Rotten Tomatoes is partially owned by Warner Bros. They're not exactly in the business of telling people not to go see movies because they're bad. They curate reviews to make those tomato meters as high as possible.
I've seen several reviews and reviewers ripping this movie to pieces, and yet... 96% critic and 97% audience ratings on RT.
Is there any way to prove that RT falsifies ratings on movies like this? Can we prove some reviews are fake, or negative reviews are scrubbed, etc.?
