People aren't talking about 9s and 10s since it's getting bombed with 0s and 1s. If the metacritic score was 9.3 or something it would be equally dubious but that's not what's happening.

Well, the movie YOU like sucks by the way :P

But the game have a lot more 9 and 10s than 0 and 1s right? And it averages closer to 10 than 0

Do people here consider the user reviews for games like call of duty and destiny 2 to be accurate. I don't like the call of duty series but the user reviews tend to be very overboard in negativity.

I don't think it's quite right to call any user reviews "troll" reviews, provided that they actually paid for the product/service/etc they're reviewing. They have a right to have their say on the matter, and it's important to remember that these people are not professional reviewers. Nobody is paying them to give an unbiased, detached account for the purpose of informing the general consumer on the various merits and faults of whatever they're reviewing.

User reviews, in my mind, are allowed to be biased. They are allowed to be emotional (in the positive or negative) about whatever it is they're reviewing. They can base their review on very specific things that they were hoping to get from what they paid for, rather than taking into account the broad scope that a paid critic must inform his audience on. A user review doesn't need to go about the process of going down the list categories a paid reviewer needs to hit in order to cover all his/her bases. That's what you have those professional critics for in the first place, to inform you on all those things, in as objective a manner as possible. And if they've done their job well, then what they had to say will be accurately reflected in the user reviews, by which I mean not necessarily the scores given, but how different segments of the audience feels about what you reviewed. Because an objective critic can still tell you if a certain type of person, looking for a certain type of experience, will hate/love something they personally loved/hated.

So in a way, user reviews are a measurement for how well paid critics do their job, in providing helpful information to all types of consumers. For example, lets say I'm a paid critic for X publication, and I say something along the lines of "Rian Johnson challenges every expectation you have about a Star Wars movie......," and then I go on to tell you that I loved this for such and such reasons. I should then also point out that it may not go over well with everyone, because when you challenge all these expectations, you're also at the same time subverting a lot of things that are (probably) near and dear to a good portion of the fanbase. That's the job. A user review is not that. A user review is just somebody telling you how they feel, and that's perfectly valid.

And the problem is that a lot of professional reviews aren't objective and as unbiased as possible... I agree with all else you said.

The desperation going on here is reaching insane levels. Out of the 252.000 votes the movie has on Imdb if you erase the 5% giving the movie a 1 the movie gets an 8 among 237.000 votes, most people liked the movie almost as much as critics did, that's not by chance, crikticas and public think the movie is good, get over it. And no, 9s and 10s are not unreliable scores when the most popular score the movie is getting are 8s, looks like some people know nothing about stadistics and graphics.

What happens here is the same story as always, many forum dwellers live in an alternative reality that has little to do with the real world, we see this here constantly, they really believed this movie was a huge failure and everybody hated it when in reality is just them the ones hating it.

Bullshit, you only need to get rid of the 1s to have an average very close to 8, you don't need to get rid of everything below 4, and yes 9s and 10s are totally normal when the most popular score of the people are 8s, there is nothing strange about a 9 when most people give the movie an 8, however a 1 is extremelly suspicious specially when it jumps so much betweeen the previous scores, this is simple logic, the average of the 95% of people that doesn't give the movie a 1 is almost an 8, people liked it, critics liked it, the movie is making a ton of money, it was a sucess in every sense despite what a tiny vocal minority says, is just as simple as that

Sorry for not replying sooner. I liked watching GotG 1 and 2. I hope you enjoy rewatching the 2nd one.

I don't think he is remembering thinks correctly, again. But, I guess this is the only argument he has so he keeps repeating it. Anakin being Space Jesus, as well as being a Gary Sue (I don't think many used this term, but this is what they were actually talking about) for little kids, was two of the largest complaints about the film. There's a reason Lucas toned it down, as well as never mentioned a virgin birth again, in the remaining prequels.

Idk about the 10% comment, but definitely ouch about the 50%.  Gotta laugh about people wanting to ignore the 1s and 2s, but want to keep the 9s and 10s, just so it's rating can go up. 

If it turns out it made the same 80% of its total BO this past Monday, like TFA did for this point in time,  it'll actually be down by ~$750M WW.
