So weird to me how "critics" nowadays are basically just stan accounts who somehow got approved for RT. Roger Ebert is spinning in his grave.

That's actually one of the reasons why RT ratings for MCU flicks as so high. A lot of RT "critics" are comic book fan sites and stan accounts who review only comic book movies and in most cases positively unless it's something like Trank's F4, so comic book movies can get 20-30% higher average RT percentage than other movies, it's a big difference.

this looks over long . 3 hours 8 minutes of jazz- no real plot what soever.

Thank you - it's so embarrassing. Film Twitter is honestly the most annoying thing to happen to the industry.

WHich is why any early reponse for a "Geek" genre movie should be taken with a ton of salt. The fanboys always are first out the door; they don't take the time to actually write a good review, they just post fanboy crap.

If twitter vanishes, I would overall be a good thing.

People can find other ways to keep in touch..you know ways that might actually make you think before you send a messafe.

Yeah, at times it feels like those first reactions to comic book movies are written by bots, exactly the same posts over and over again.

Saw this trailer twice, but something about it seems so off and overly indulgent.

The characters are acting like they're from 2020, not 1920.

I know Im late but I just saw the reactions.

 

Would it be fair to say the movie sucks but the people posting the reactions are too cowardly to outright state it sucks in case actual critics give it high praise come real review time and they're exposed for being uncultured social media shills that they are, thus leading to phrases like: "gloriously bombastic", "boldly incomprehensible", and "a purposeful, ambitious mess" etc?

No, since you haven't seen it. You're welcome. Also a number of actual critics in NYC have seen it and wrote positively about it.

The reactions have been very mixed. Critics reviews may be harsher but I think it’s safe to say it chazelle weakest film

That is one concern I have, the charecters seem too modern,TO use a famous quote:

The past is like a foreign country; they do things differently there.

And some have not, the critics seem to be split on the movie. Which makes me more anxious to see it.
