BMD: Devin Faraci with a negative review of ZOOTP Antibody Mar 03, 16:32

good man! {nm} slipping jimmy Mar 03, 16:36

He was also the "first" to cut through the STAR7 hype. {nm} Antibody Mar 03, 16:53

First one gets the most clicks, dontcha know?! :) Contrarian reviews to near-unanimous consensus are a business move. They literally get BSmurf Mar 03, 17:10

Sure, but he was absolutely right about STAR7. {nm} Antibody Mar 03, 17:13

...in your opinion. And you're still in the minority. {nm} RupertPupkin Mar 03, 17:28

doesn't make the minority wrong {nm} slipping jimmy Mar 03, 17:30

Our opinion isn't that STAR7 is a bad film, but there are many narrative problems disregarded in favor of more fan service. {nm} Antibody Mar 03, 17:59

What did he say about Star, I was on vacation and didn't get to read much here {nm} lobogotti Mar 03, 17:38

Here's his review: basically an entertaining retread with all the good and bad of JJ Abrams Antibody Mar 03, 17:46

thanks lobogotti Mar 03, 17:48

that it was "okay" after attending the premiere. slipping jimmy Mar 03, 17:46

I got into some arguments with friends because I said "it was made safe, and a fan film". That did not go over well.d lobogotti Mar 03, 17:50

Did you point out the third act similarities? DTshakes Mar 03, 23:17

yes, something similar. also the fact that Rey and Poe are Luke. I give JJ credit though for making the lobogotti Mar 04, 05:16

Faraci IS the Chosen One--you must see it! {nm} chosenone2oo5 Mar 03, 16:49

87 in at RT, still 100% {nm} lobogotti Mar 03, 17:13

Not saying it's the case here, but now that Fandango owns RT, they have an incentive to keep ratings. Antibody Mar 03, 17:15

definitely don't think it's the case here, but there's a ton of truth to that article. lobogotti Mar 03, 17:37

additionally, Snob mentioned The Witch drop at 42%. That's insanely good when you look at audience score. We just don't see drops that lobogotti Mar 03, 17:43

I call shenanigans. It's listed on RT as "Fresh" with this quote (see inside) diamondman56 Mar 03, 19:24

Someone in the comments asked Devin about the subject and he seems to confirm his review is correctly sorted. {nm} austpow Mar 03, 20:53

That's a cop out. There's also a 6/10 reported as fresh. that's a D. {nm} Antibody Mar 03, 22:29

In fairness, RT qualifies a film at fresh at 60% and above. 6/10 is 3/5 which they consider to be Fresh. {nm} lobogotti Mar 04, 03:07

A 6/10 is a D? Than what's a 4/10 a negative F, lol. This isn't a test. Where 6/10 is 60%. {nm} jamesbik333 Mar 04, 05:46

Yes. There are reviewers that give out letter grades, which is converted to a % to compare against those that use numbers. {nm} Antibody Mar 04, 07:40

93 in now, still 100% {nm} lobogotti Mar 04, 03:11
