A nomination for shill critics and over-generous star ratings for films.
I first noticed this when I used to read Empire, the film magazine. There was a trend towards giving the big, crowd-pleasing films from Hollywood four or five stars. The same happened with melodramatic ‘Oscar bait’, even when it was terrible.
Nominated for eight Oscars? slap 4/5 stars on it.
I’m not exactly a film snob (i’ve seen more of the Marvel films than an adult would dare to admit) but some of these reviews make it quite obvious these critics are getting some sort of perk from the studio. It’s the only way they could find any of the recent Star Wars films palatable, or any of the recent awful series being made by SJW cunts.
Sadly, when the critics aren’t brown-nosing studio executives and directors they find a way to critique a film based on their liberal politics.
‘Transformers’ (2007) was shit for all sorts of reasons, but I remember Mark Kermode bringing up his sixth-former understanding of American politics to criticise Michael Bay and his films in general. Those criticisms may have been valid in a general sense, but not pertinent to the actual film. He also banged on about the way Megan Fox was leered at by the characters and the camera as ‘problematic’.
It’s a film for teenage boys you greasy, rockabilly cunt! Give the Marxist-feminist film theory a rest.
He’s since dribbled over unfunny tripe such as Don’t Look Up, because it’s actually about Trump and his voters, isn’t it? It’s such a brilliant satire! Aren’t we clever… Orange man bad!
