    Just read the reviews compared to a normal reviewed movie like toy story 2.

    "I I really enjoy this sequel" - 3.5 Stars Good B

    Good B is a harsh critic for sure. But nothing like that for Melania. What are the chances two humans use double exclamation marks right after each other? How many people use hyphens? 50% of people like in the 4 sample size for Melania?

      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.

      I like Driven. It is definitely a cheesy movie but it is actually more believable in some ways. No way any driver just steps into a modern F1 car and starts winning.

        Either bots or poor people from developing countries are paid to make positive comments of the movie.

          You do not get non-native speakers writing "perfect" reviews.

          It could be AI responsives submitted by hand.

            For obvious propaganda pieces like this, that's how "Verified Audience" reviews will always be. In order to be counted you need to have purchased a ticket through one of RT's partners, so it's self-selecting. No sane person is going to buy a ticket to this bribe masquerading as a documentary, so it's only insane Republicans being counted towards that score.

            You can select "All Audience" if you want to see everyone. It's at 29%, even after Republicans' review boosting campaign.

            Given everything we've learned in the last few years, the chances are extremely high that at least half those purchased tickets don't correspond with a living person actually sitting in a cinema seat.

              They've been obvious shills for at least a decade. All you have to do is look at any new release. They rarely get below 80/90%. Every single fucking movie can't be the citizen Kane they claim it is.

              If only people who buy tickets can leave the initial reviews, that kind of makes sense. Their system selects for people who are interested in the premise of the movie.

                  Uh...oh nevermind. Netflix ruined F1.

                  Driven was originally supposed to be an F1 movie, but when Bernie Ecclestone got wind of that stupid plot he kicked Stallone out of Europe.

                    I assume you're referring to this post which was definitely fake. The numbers in the ad are prank numbers.

                    Perhaps, but it's still believable, if past reports of similar things for this family are true. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politics-news/donald-trump-campaign-offered-actors-803161/

                      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.
