Saying that evidence of a backlash having any negative impact is that this movie sis not managing to do the same number sas the second greatest BO of all time and the bigest USA BO of all times is shortsighted ot say the least. TLJ will likely end in the 1.3 - 1.5 bil neighborhood, and thats considering it had none of the years of no Star Wars that ep VII had and that it is the second movie ina  trilogy, wich is historicaly always the worst performer out of a 3 parter.

Just stop, there sis not way to ingluence or to "buy" millions of critics from hundreds of different countrys. This bulshit conspiracy theoru has gone too far. Disney somehow always buy critics and yet Warner doesn't. Seriously ppl the answer here isn't some crazy scheme, it is the simple fact the movie is great. is it quite different from the usual Star Wars film ? Ye it definetly is. But all that aside, as a movie, evaluating solely what is being present on screen, it is a fantastic piece of cinema.

" millions of critics" - uhhhhh?

I just feel like we must have seen different movies. I don't want there to be conspiracies or anything, but that movie was really, really bad. Like I said, I've never had such a disconnect with critics before, and there seems to be a lot of other people who feel the same. I don't know what this "smear" campaign is you're talking about, other than people just really hated the movie.

Little thing called hyperbole (why is it that ppl always need you to explain this when you use hyperbole, if you see a exagerated large number describing something asume it was intentional and was used as a figure of speech for shock valu ppl, it will do you good).

Technically speeking the movie is fantantisc, as a Star Wars movie ppl can think whatever they want, but the cinematography, scene composition, score, editting and whatnot is some of the best ever seen. The critics are not judging if this is the Star Wars hardcore fans wanted to see, they are judging if it is a good movie, and it is. It is that simple.

Also ppl didn't hate the movie, ppl actualy loved it, the movie ahs an A cinemascore, cinamascore is the ppls opinion, the actual ppl, not Star Wars hardcore fans or forum goers who liek to always voice their opinion when they are discontent with something.
