    Man, this looks very bad for RT. If they don't course correct on this, they are going to lie any remaining trust or faith.

      Why would anyone go watch a movie about an imported prostitute?

      Would an imported prostitute (not that there’s anything wrong with that) be given an Einstein visa?

        Sometimes it’s fun to not have given a shit about movies for several decades.

          How can you even have a documentary about possibly the most uninteresting person on earth? I'm not sure that I've even heard her speak before. A documentary about my neighbor would be more intriguing.

            Doesn't mean they aren't paid shills.

            Maybe I don't understand that site, but you click on the 99% rating and you get a list of reviews that shows 20 rotten, 2 fresh. Just a bad look imo.

              Sorry in this case we can't tell you how the ratings work, it is classified for national security reasons.

                "applauding the lack of nudity and profanity."

                Hmmm wonder if they ever saw the prequel?

                  I'm not convinced there's a conspiracy here. Seems entirely likely that Rotten Tomatoes has no contingency for the release of a movie so blatantly sycophantic and propagandistic that the only people spending money on tickets are those who are already bought into the fantasy.

                      I saw that too. They were all a bunch of rich Republicans. The screening was at the Kennedy center so it wouldn't surprise me if basically everyone watching that screening was a government worker (or their friend/family) who probably moved to DC specifically to work for their favorite fascist.

                      I also wondered how those people could be real and studying them wouldn't be a bad idea.

                          What if she's Krasnov's handler and this tripe is to ensure she looks vapid and uninteresting when the feds remember their mandate?

                            Wow, or we could drop the misogyny and just dislike her for being part of a fascist dynasty. No need to berate sex workers, either.

                                it makes sesnse though. Anyone paying to see it is probably MAGA anyway, so of course they’re going to rate it highly.

                                i doubt very many non MAGA types have seen it, so there will be very few negative reviews for that reason alone.

                                  I didn't detect any judgement. "Why would anyone go watch a movie about an imported wife?" and "Why would anyone go watch a movie about an imported cashier?" both sound about the same as the original sentence to me...

                                    I came to that conclusion after paying money to see Brad pitt in F1 following 97% scores.

                                    They took the exact plot of Stallone's Driven, to date the worst movie ever made about racing, or anything else.

                                          How is IMDb much more reliable? I'd argue that's even easier to manipulate as you don't need to buy a ticket to leave a review. Review bombing (in either direction) is pretty rampant on IMDB.

                                          Pretty much anything that reaches a critical mass now gets manipulated. Web 2.0 saw to that.
