Do people really trust reviews?

My understanding is that WB, in addition to owning DC comics, owns a 30% stake in RottenTomatoes, which in turn is an aggregator, not a reviewer.

Iron Man 2/3 and Thor 1/2 were so boring...I fell asleep during Dark World.

I liked man of steel(not steal :P), but I found BvS extremely mediocre and 'meh'.

Ppl understand that shutting down a site that simply averages review scores won't change the review scores themselves right ?

I saw the movie, its quite bad, the script is a mess, characters, aside from Harley and Deadshot, have 0 development and some of them are completly useless like Killer Croc and Captain Boomerang. The vilain is pathetic, it manages to be worse than Malekith on Thor the Dark World, it is almost as bad as Doctor Doom from Fantastic 4. O and the action scenes are just bad, theres nothing memorable there, slow motion is way overused (theres a segement that goes for what felt like 30 seconds in slowmo, I was like OK can you just let the movie play in normal speed already plz), the editing is choppy and the enemys they are fighting are, for the most part, super forgetable. The reviewers were simply being honest, this is a bad movie, it sucks I realy wanted it to be good...

People are stupid. You know that.

While all those 3 are definitely mediocre movies, still found them way better than MoS or BvsS, BvsS goes down as one of the worst superhero movies for me of the last decade. Personally I think they got the ratings spot on for those 2 suck fests, just Iron man 3 and the 2 thor movies are definitely overrated and need to come down a little.

Well the main difference between journalists and "reviewers" and "critics" is that journalists typically have a university degree, and are bound to a code of ethics, and "reviewers" and "critics" are people expressing their opinions on the internet. I grew up with one of the top journalists in the country who works for a national news organization and she has a lot to say about how bloggers and youtubers make people like her seem less credible to the general public. Anyone can get online and pretend they're an authority, or pretend they have a credible source, or be paid to say the things they're saying and never report that they're being paid for it, and say whatever they want within the limits of the law and not be held accountable for it. She is actually held to a much higher standard, and her organization can face huge fines and legal consequences if she steps out of line the way many bloggers and youtubers do.

So maybe that's why you see a lot of mistrust - there are people poisoning the well so to speak.

Crazy thought, but maybe DC's rushed new filmverse just aint very good.

Fucking grow up. That's my extensive take on it.

BvS buyers have learnt their lesson, reckon this will flop hard.
