Because critics are supposed to analyze the movie and it's story / characters, not the real person behind the character.
A critic that can't seperate the art from the artist should not review the movie at all.

I would agree, but I find if funny that fans are holding others to such high standards, when then constanly support and sing the praises of films THEY HAVE NOT EVEN SEEN if it'sin the right franchise.

In terms of your parameters (So ignoring Shazam, The Suicide Squad, and The Batman) 

Again, how are those outside my parameters, I specifically said either slam dunks or tanks. That doesn't exclude any of these

THIS. L Ron Hubbard boasted about how good he was at lying to people. Expect one of his disciples to be any better?

Oh I got confused then.

Anyway not reading those 10 pages I slept through but mid 70s is firmly medium. Shouldn’t turn anyone away but probably won’t draw in many fence sitters. Let the chips fall where they may.

[Dominic Draper]

So it's just another mediocre cbm probably. 

 

Every frame and scene theyve shown from this film I've found to be a complete eye sore. It might be the ugliest looking blockbuster since JL2017.

[Blaze Heatnix]

While I defend critics, I also expect critics to do their job as critics. If you hate a movie, you can hate it all you want. Just review the art, not the artist.

 

I've read a review on RT and it literally says: "To offer the film any kind of praise is an uneasy task, because its star is one of the most controversial Hollywood figures in recent memory"

 

I'm not lying. It's right there on RT. 

[WebSurfer]

This felt like a 60s 70s on RT movie for me after watching it…

 

Still feel that way.

Why let the narrative of best superhero movie spread if the studio knew it would get these reviews. DC really needs to get their stuff together. At best this will be the 3rd best superhero film of the year. Their marketing department needs to be dismantled. It also doesn’t help that Across The Spider Verse actually lives up to the GOAT title.

Being the 3rd best superhero films of these two months probably isn’t doing the the BO any favors (especially with alleged plot similarities to the one it’s two weeks from). I feel like this might have done better at Labor Day.  
 

Oh well, probably doesn’t matter much at the end of the day.

Trying to understand,  do reviews typically hold this much weight that one can already have their mind made up of its quality before seeing it?

Can you name any comic book films that are widely considered among the greatest of all time that are scored in the low 70s? Though who knows where it ends up score wise. Could be 60s.

 

Personally, every single trailer has been poor to me. The movie is flat out UGLY. I can't stand Andy as a director either. Nothing about this film has appealled to me at all.

 

But DC/WB marketing have been trying to create this narrative that it was about to be among the greatest of all time in the genre. The reviews aren't lining up to that narrative. 

 

Reviews are a tool many people use to help decide if a film is worth seeing. Hope this helps.

 

I'm sorry they aren't lining up to what you wanted. If they had scored in the 90s I might have considered checking it out despite my low interest, but these aren't good enough.

[XXRDJisDoctorDoom]

Reviews, trailers or otherwise; I’ve still got my tickets for this weekend. 🥳

Blade is one of the best CBMs and it has 57% rt score.

Anyone who believes that those test screening reaction stories are not planted really is not the sharpest

Yeah, I liked the second half more than the first half.

 

People seem to be criticizing that the other way around so far.

[WebSurfer]

Yeah, another thing.

 

Given many scenes that take place in the movie, people are definitely going to be making a lot of Ezra Miller jokes after they see the movie.
