40% tomato meter, 96% popcorn.
Anyone who uses RT still, is that 96% number real or AI/bots/pay-for-reviews?
If real, the number surprises me. Maybe it’s a bit self-filtering, with audiences primarily made up of Michael fans already predisposed to rate it highly so long as it’s not too controversial.
Yeah the critic/viewer disparity has happened on RT many times. I think you’re right about the self-selecting.
there’s a big disparity on metacritic too
I’m too biased to review this movie. The guy made me love dancing and take dance classes throughout my life.
I’m sorry to be cynical, but it’s 100% just Michael Jackson fans rating it a perfect film. You see the same effect for every biopic about a modern pop star (check out the ratings for any K-Pop film, for example).
