That one is legendary lol. 
 

Remember Sony literally made up a film critic in the early 2000’s: David Manning. Eventually they had to hand out refunds to customers who claimed they were misled lol 

Oh man, that's classic!

It really is😂

 

The films with the fake critic quotes and refunds were: Hollow Man, The Animal, The Patriot, A Knight's Tale and Vertical Limit.

Doesn't come out here for a month but I hope it does well, even if it's not that great. Unlees I'm forgetting something, this, Bullet Train and Don't Worry Darling are probably the only original movies left this year that can make decent money.

At least I get why a British movie would want to create the appearance of getting a 4-star review from The Guardian, it's a very prominent paper known for its arts coverage. Even the trolling aspect got them publicity without any legal trouble: the Guardian gave Legend two stars and that's what the poster technically displays.

 

Nope has plenty of actual good reviews from reputable outlets, so why not just use those in the ads? I guess The Wrap is important in the industry, but I don't think regular moviegoers know or care that much about it. So, The Wrap didn't like a horror movie: who cares? Also, most critics are on Twitter, did the Universal PR team think the writer wouldn't see this and say something?

They're probably get one of those twitter reactions from another person that writes for The Wrap, it's kinda usual that many people from the same publisher watch the movies. 

 

But they should put the @ of the person instead of just The Wrap. 

 

Despite that while i understand i also found it funny watching the critic so angry about this, they didn't even quote him or said his name anyway 

[vale9001]

Also they should find more interesting catching phrases or opinion from the reviews. This "best movie of the year" is so lazy. Then people go to theater with big expectations and they leave disappointed.

 

For a movie like this you should use things like "you won't see anything like this all the year". Even  people are gonna hate it cause the movie is strange or unexpected can agree with the claim.

 

Claims like "best movie of the year" are something you should use only for the perfect Oscar Bait movie.

Usually those flattering pull quotes are from reviews, even if the writer's name isn't listed. It makes sense that the critic is going, wait a minute, that's not what they said. The ad didn't list some social media handle because when they do that, it's a dead giveaway that the published review from the outlet was negative, so the studio had to resort to finding Twitter randos to come up with positive blurbs. For a movie that's like 80 percent on RT, it's so unnecessary.

I know, like i said i understand, just find it funny. 

 

But i'm pretty sure they take from twitter, why? Hard to say, they have way more glowing actual reviews to use.

[Nikostar]

See this in IMAX for sure. 

[BestPicturePlutoNash]

I'm mixed on this. I'm happy an original blockbuster with so much to thematically chew on (ideas of trauma exploited for animal and animal control for commerce) is released by major blockbuster in summer but Peele's storytelling continues to decline. This script is didactic and rough. The audience was getting fussy and the guy in my row texted the entire time. Luckily it ends in a gigantic setpiece

[filmnerdjamie]

Peele, in effect, made an A24 horror film on Universal dime.

 

One's mileage on that will vary. Me personally leaving the theater an hour ago... I fucking hated it.

 

Have a hard time imagining word of mouth not causing this to crater. Hard.

B Cinema score. Same as Candyman and Us. Just below The Black Phone B+ and way better than Old C+. Not sure why some of you thought WOM would be toxic.

its RT score is merely ok , audiences may not hate, but may not recommend to many

Looks like I might see this in IMAX woo!

[eddyxx]

Well that was different!

[snarkmachine]

This was a bit of a misfire.

 

The reviews would be much unkinder if it didn't have "Directed by Jordan Peele" in front of it.

[Cruel Summer]

peele is truly the new m night except less global

[The Dark Alfred]

It's an R rated sci-fi horror. B, B+ is a comfortable territory for that genre.

[Deep Wang]

This one was all the way in my wheelhouse!

[NannerManCan]

I think I'd give it a 7/10-7.5/10? Hard to put into words I wouldn't say it's the best movie of the year or anything but I didn't dislike it. Thriller/Sc-fi/Horror as has been said before and I wasn't expecting the direction they went with the UFO but I liked how it turned out!
