    90% swing between critics and public? WTF? Has there ever been a movie with so many fake reviews?

      For obvious propaganda pieces like this, that’s how “Verified Audience” reviews will always be. In order to be counted you need to have purchased a ticket through one of RT’s partners, so it’s self-selecting. No sane person is going to buy a ticket to this bribe masquerading as a documentary, so it’s only insane Republicans being counted towards that score.

      You can select “All Audience” if you want to see everyone. It’s at 29%, even after Republicans’ review boosting campaign.

        Yup. Giving it a positive review is basically saying “I support Trump” since nothing involving him could ever be bad in any way to them, and of course 99% of the people who actually paid to see it will be Trump supporters.

        Given everything we’ve learned in the last few years, the chances are extremely high that at least half those purchased tickets don’t correspond with a living person actually sitting in a cinema seat.
