Hollywood blames Rotten Tomatoes for their shitty films failing

>>94412344
>tl;dr, Sony kept reviews for the shitty emoji movie from hitting until hours before the movie came out
wait, how is this a new concept? videogames have been pulling that crap since forever
desu any movie that does that should be blacklisted by critics with a score of 0

>>94412344
What's to stop someone from simply publishing their review?

>>94412421
This. Ban reviews? You're a 0. You don't get a fucking default pass. Your movie is a god damned piss soaked banana peel until proven otherwise.

>>94412438

>>94412421

Yeah but now it's an industry they can't just call the consumers gross sexist nerds and get away with it.

It's too bad gamer groups won't capitalize and give a giant "I TOLD YOU SO WHY DIDNT YOU LISTEN" to the movie audiences

>>94412438
They'll no longer be invited to early screenings

>>94412421
I think what pisses me off about this isn't that they did it, because as you said it isn't a new concept.

It's that they seem so damn proud of themselves that they did it.

>Shit all of our terrible films are failing.
>Should we make better more original films sir?
>Fuck that, make sure reviews don't come out until right before the film is out. We'll bleed the audience dry before they know they've been had.

I mean it did succeed in the short term with that $25 mil opening, but that's such short sighted planning. It just means moviegoers will be less and less inclined to even bother seeing films from your studio. Critics will become skeptic of films from your studio and suggest people save their money want wait until reviews are out, fans of whatever franchise you reboot will immediately assume it's bad, etc etc.

Emoji movie's box office dropoff this weekend is going to be massive. I'm thinking like 70%. And the Dark Tower is going to do just as bad.

>>94412499
This will backfire hard, every time studios don't screen for critics the critics screech and warn everyone it's going to be trash. And it usually is. These guys see themselves as artists, you can't threaten to take things away like with videogame blogs.

What's, if any, the film equivalent of IGN? Basically, giving bad things good reviews because they were paid to, and giving good things bad reviews because it draws attention?

>>94412499
How long will that sustain? It'll be less than a year before early screening reviews get thrown out as untrustworthy advertisement.

>>94412635
Armond White

If you defend that overly pretentious attention seeker then you need to leave.

>>94412344
I will only agree with this in the case of King Arthur. That was actually a really decent action flick that I want to see again. Transformers and The Emoji Movie deserve their reviews, and I haven't seen The Mummy or Pirates 5.

>>94412635
Armond White.

>>94412344
The new pirates was bad? I liked it, it was what you'd want from a PotC movie.

>>94412635
so your entire experience with IGN is the one God Hand review, and some anecdotal times when you got mad that a game you wanted to fail got a good score and was popular?

Grow up. IGN is no better or worse than any other review site out there, they give games that people are hyped up for generally good reviews because they're also a bunch of fucking nerds who eat their own hype.

>>94412635
See Yelp, their entire business is blackmailing businesses with bad reviews if they don't pay them.

>>94412612
you are talking about sony, you become a sony executive the same way you become a high ranked citizen in north korea not by being an example but by killing everyone who is
sure they fucked themselves over further in the long run mostly because this shit was planned as a franchise but the executive who greenlit it will keep her job and get a fat bonus
for every sony executive who gets a bonus 1000 people lose their jobs

>>94412344
I wonder what's going to happen to Rotten Tomatoes to make them lose favor with the public. It's bound to happen soon or later, right?

Profesional reviews is inherently corrupt
There's no way to fix that

>>94412880
Time to raise the taxes on films being made for export, tariff the shit out of Hollywood

>>94412641
But they'll still do it, that's the thing.

Media companies these days are getting more and more brazen with how much they want to fuck the consumer over and lie to them about the quality of any given product. As mentioned earlier in the thread, video games were the first to fall prey to this idea (the conspiracy-minded out there might consider video game review sites a "test run" of how well this concept works), and now movies are going to start doing this as well.

It's not going to stop until people actually take a stand and say "No, we're not going to let you assholes do this anymore", which will not happen because most people will either get shut down by playing off social embarrassment ("Out of all the horrible things that are happening in the world, you're deciding to take a stand against Hollywood? I mean, really?"), or they'll try and brand any efforts as GamerGate 2.0, which will cause them to try and play the sympathy card with more socially-minded crowds ("First video games, now movies! Can't these manbaby misogynists on the internet do anything else with their time?").

>>94412828
How far into the story did it try to get?

>>94412914
Go home, Sony.

>>94412828
man hollywood is filled with nothing but garbage, the consequence of decades of rewarding bad decitions
it got so bad that they would rather try to sell their shit to china than try to recapture everyones low expectations because that would take actual competence

>>94412904
Why would it? What's RT doing to make the public dislike them? Telling them when shit movies are shit?

>>94412914
I really don't see how.

>>94412925
SJWs don't buy games or see movies, I'm going to find the wasteland they create hilarious if that happens.

>>94412344
but how can I praise based Disney and based Marvel if critics don't tell me how amazing their movies are?

>>94412344
Is it really a bad movie though?
HAven seen it, but i'm pretty sure kids these days fucking love emojis.
Outside of it being a movie about cellphones, candy crush and stuff we consider millenial shit, it can't be that terrible, i really liked hotel transylvania.

>>94412635
Thing is that there really isn't an equivalent. There are individual shills and contrarians like Armond White of course, but hollywood has always been at odds with critics. Especially in an age where one can just google a movie to see if it is worth seeing. However, political bias is still a major issue in films, especially today.

Video Games sadly got into the pockets of publishers quickly due to the critic's need to make a living. It's easier to silence a game critic than a film one, because all you have to do is cut their cash flow and their voice goes silent quickly. Film critics can move past that.

>>94412881
I feel the 2016 Ghostbusters opened a lot of eyes.

>>94412904
Thing is that Rotten Tomatoes is not just a handful of reviewers, but a bunch of them compiled into the site. The only way they could really be fucked over is if they start shilling IGN style.

The biggest weakpoint with Rotten Tomatoes is political agendas and bias. When politics are not involved RT is decently accurate, but when it is, things get hazy.

>>94412786
Yes. It completely bastardizes the source material.

>SJWs don't buy games or see movies

Ghostbusters 2016 did confirm that.

Sure the controversy did help its initial opening, but it quickly fell flat. No matter what people said, you can't sell a franchise installment by alienating the fanbase.

Sony seems eager to try to do the 'There is no such thing as bad publicity' stunt again with emoji movie, even bragging about the early 'success', but at this point it seems clear that this is going to kill their Animation studio.

Which sucks, because they were doing so well for a while there.

>>94413100
All critics have to do is say the embargo is happening. So long as they make that very clear, it shows the studio is trying to hide something about the film and people can come to their own conclusions.

>>“The Emoji Movie was review-proof because what parent would tell their kids that they can’t go to a movie because of a low aggregate score,”

Didn't exactly work. The family friendly Emoji movie came in 2nd to Dunkirk and its earning wasn't anything to write home about.

http://deadline.com/2017/07/atomic-blonde-dunkirk-emoji-movie-weekend-box-office-openings-1202138047/

>The Emoji Movie declined 14% between Friday and Saturday from $10M to $8.7M putting its opening for this $50M budgeted toon at $25.6M. Typically, animated titles see a spike on Saturday due to family matinees and it’s likely bad word of mouth off the pic’s B CinemaScore (very low for an animated title which typically earn As or A-, no matter how hokey they are) and 8% rotten reviews are impacting Emoji.

>>94412499

I say let it die. We've conflated "the film industry" into the be all end off of film itself.

The industry as a whole is a shitshow. The method by which you become a writer basically boils down to "we don't have to let anyone into our secret club," which results in a stale talent pool that feels no need to compete. Studios are more than happy to rehash shit instead of experiment and push the boundaries of cinematography and storytelling. Short-term numbers make all the decisions over quality or logic.

Let it burn, anon. Let it burn...

I very much believe it's worth saying, don't let my natural pessimism fool you. However this problem highlights how badly we need new blood and new ideas in the industry, but we're getting there, one problem at a time. We can't just endlessly do reboots of movie franchises and shit it out to the chinese, something's gotta change sooner or later.

Studios have been doing this for decades. Siskel and Ebert used to talk about how the lack of advance screenings was a sure tell that the film was a giant bomb.

A good ad campaign is going to catch a few people, particularly if they don't pre-screen the film. But bad word of mouth spreads even faster these days, so they can only fleece the first nighters. The bad film will still tank.

Gonna play Devil's Advocate a bit and say cut CSM some slack. Their reviews may not always be spot on, but their focus is mostly rate things based on their approriateness for kids and families, and do their best to rate this separately from the actual quality of the product.

On the plus, it's one of the few websites that invite and encourage parents more than anything to write their own reviews and critically decide for themselves if their children are ok to consume something or not.

>>94414196

Modern Hollywood has been trained by market research that movie goes want shitty movie.

Back then all it took for a movie to be THE BIGGEST THING of the summer is to have the best most awesome CGI on screen for the maximum amount of time because back then the main movie going audience, read teenagers and college students, loved that shit because they never saw anything like it before.

But the new generation of the main movie audience GREW UP on NOTHING but badass non-stop CGI pornfest as kids and are now going "ok but what else can you do?". And that's the thing, Hollywood can't do anything that's not retarded.

That's why they turn to TV shows because TV shows offer something that movies can't anymore, plot & fun characters. So now Hollywood is shitting their pants because they can't unlearn what worked for the past 10 years.

Who on earth even pays to go to the movies anymore? You can either a. stream it online b. wait until it comes out on DVD and rent it for free from a local library or c. buy it on blu-ray if you give enough of a shit.

>>94412914
No, they're inherently pointless when discussing subjective traits of a movie, and simply talking about their opinions. Let's talk about Mrs Brown's Boys. I don't care what you think of it, what any of us think of it isn't the point I'm making. All I know about that show is it is hugely popular in Britain, and the critics have repeatedly torn it apart based on it being purile and juvenile and all sorts of things that end in ile to say that it offends their snobby tastes. Yet it's still hugely popular. Critics speak, in regards to subjective traits, only for themselves. And it's pointless reading criticisms for that.

But Critics DO know more about movies or shows or books than the consumer, maybe not videogames because videogame critics are to Critics what a mushroom is to a tree, a shit eating fungus that clings to better, more established concepts in an attempt to survive. These critics know the history of the medium, it's not just telling people their opinions, it's not that easy to be a GOOD critic. Since they've watched and reviewed a lot of movies in their careers, they can see if something is just another retelling of a story that's cliched, hackneyed, and deader than the horse it's beating. And the biggest complaint about the Emoji Movie, aside from it being soulless marketing and product placement, is that it's unoriginal as fuck. There are dozens of movies that tell the same story and impart the same morals, and aren't utter horseshit.

I was so pissed after watching the first movie when I realized they were stretching it out into a trilogy for no reason. Refused to watch the rest, seems like it was a good decision.

>>94416475

Tragic thing is? Jumanji will probably give them a lifeline. I hate the very idea of the movie and everything Ive seen, but that cast is going to put butts in seats

>>94417511
But why? That misses the entire point of the book. It's the story of the guy who DOESN'T get to witness the big battle: the hero who is instrumental in winning the day but through alternative contributions.

I was gonna say that all the money will get flushed down the toilet when The Star comes out, but then I remembered it only cost them 18 million.

>>94417647
Star power also apparently doesn't mean much these days. Having the Rock there doesn't guarantee high ticket sales.

"Stretch that fucker! And bring in more hookers and blow! We're gonna be rich again!"

As someone pointed out upthread: hollywood has been training audiences to expect amazing CGI and huge battles and shit.

Because that's how you appeal to decent human beings, right? Sony's attempt to cover up all the legit bad press and non-hatespeach criticism pushed the argument back a decade.

Sony is a studio with no shame, and the Emoji Movie stands as the cherry to the top of that statement.

Audiences are to blame for this. If people went to movies like Whiplash and The Artist in droves, then Hollywood would respond by releasing more high quality films to earn more money.

But because retarded superhero movies and Pixar films for manbabies keep topping the charts, Hollywood responds by making those kinds of movies. Movies suck and it's entirely the audiences fault.

>>94418048

Because muh hobbits and because it's cheaper. It's doubtful he ever actually met any of the other actors on set.

I'd watch it, if that's anything to you.

Bonus points if its a 'love letter' / homage to the schlock ninja movie and not just a 'dur hur, we made a parody' sort of movie. Like how Rango was less a parody and more of a homage.

Now it's even less likely.

>>94418421

Simply mentioning an embargo is enough to let anyone in the know what's up.

Sony didn't trick anyone. Nobody who unironically went to see the Emoji Movie gives two shit's about reviews. They literally could not care less. They just wanted to go see a movie with emojis in it.

>>94418834

Sometimes I wonder wtf goes on behind the scenes to inflate budgets to ridiculous levels beyond the usual things like reshoots, troubled production, etc.

Many critics are plebs but it makes sense for a paper to hire them because the majority of people are plebs. No one opens the paper to see a complex analysis of the latest flick or bestselling book, honestly you'd have to spoil the movie to make any worthwhile review.

>>94412344

You're on a Thai bamboo roasting website's comics and cartoons board, you don't have a whole lot of wiggle room to call others nerds. But communication is the issue, there is no one unified voice among the video game community and any who might claim as such will be shot down by opposing groups. Specifically the corporate shills and their party of politically correct useful idiots will immediately try and disparage any who would rightfully call the video game industry fucking shit. Mass Effect Andromeda was bad enough to kill ubisoft montreal and there would still be those dumb enough to defend it.

>>94419466

Hobbit fucked up a lot of shit.

The overuse of CGI was one of them. I doubt there will be a point where CGI is indistinguishable from real life, because so many things in the movie looked horrifically fake.

The Orcs were really bad too, and compared to the detail with the costumed orcs in LOTR, it's downright disgusting how cheap they look.

>>94412973
At this point, I'm just waiting until Sony begins blaming the viewers themselves. Because people at least don't treat RT as a complete joke.

>>94420022

Don't forget the games media who tried to start a witch hunt against a guy who made a satirical video about games review media being kinda shit. He didn't specifically call out IGN or Gamespot (heck, he even roasted youtube reviewers and himself for being biased in a way) but they tried to pin him as part of Gamergate for some reason.

>>94412730
It had a lot of things wrong with it, but if you're a fan of the franchise, you probably thought it was okay.
It was 10 times better than the 4th one, but it didn't have the same good character stories that the first 3 did.

Personally, I think the series has been going downhill since the very first film. Anything past the first 3 are pretty textbook cash grabs in my opinion.

>>94412904
Rotten Tomatoes is being relied on far too heavily. The point of that site is to tell you whether a film is good or bad. There are only 2 ways to vote, rotten or fresh. A high score means you are probably more likely to enjoy the movie, since a lot of people liked it.

A lot of people liked Spiderman Homecoming, myself included, but I would wager most people would only really give it a 7-8 out of 10, not the 9-10/10 R.T. would have you believe.

Movies like BvS that didn't have that wide appeal with all the 'funny' quips every 10 fucking seconds like most other capeshit, obviously didn't score high on R.T., which gave the film the wrong idea.

It's a professional courtesy not just to the studios, but also to fellow critics. If one publishes early, it becomes a race to be the first to publish a review. Critics have their own guild, and they look down on that kind of behavior.

>>94421137
It's admirable if true. However I could see this breaking down if one rebel decides to go into business for himself. Kinda like how video games are done with certain shady companies reviewing games through a hour of play

Can't wait for studios to start offering exclusive extended epilogues as bonus for pre-ordering tickets.

>>94421137
It's not just courtesy, people attending early screenings sign NDAs specifying the exact time and date at which they are allowed to post reviews. Doing it early makes them liable to whatever penalties are stipulated on the contract.

>“I remember being a drunken fool, as you’re supposed to do at your bachelor party, and having a really good time with all my friends,” Vinson told me. “But then I remember being a mess. And when people are fucked up, crazy shit happens.” That’s when Tripp went missing from his bash. Even now, all Vinson knows is, “I got separated from my friends, and I blacked out. And when I was revived, I was in a strip club being threatened with a very, very large bill I was supposed to pay. It was not a fun experience at the time, but it made for a funny story.”

This is what happens when businessmen think that they can make art just like any other product. The business community is populated by generic managers who have become convinced that they are the best no matter the field, and that their skills will work no matter what industry they are in. This is how you get something like a marketing director from Pizza Hut as president and CEO of Nintendo America.

They imagine that they're invincible business geniuses, so they just apply all the same techniques to the entertainment industry that they did in whatever other industry they came from. Then, when whatever it is flops, they blame the reviewers, because in business the last thing anyone wants to do is accept that they are capable of making mistakes. It must always be someone else's fault.

Kinda this. BvS deserves its score. But the percentage isn't a rating. It's saying 90% of people liked it but not that they all thought it was great. A movie could get all 6/10s and end up with a 100% but people would think that means it's perfect.

The Pirates of the Caribbean films haven't been good since the first one. Dead Man's Chest was ok for no other reason than Davy Jones but general plot of all the films after the first movie have been a convoluted mess. The biggest problem is that they basically made Jack Sparrow the main character when they noticed how popular he was and he's been flanderized more and more with each passing film.

anybody who couldn't tell the emoji movie was shit without reading a review deserved to waste their money

>>94412904
I'm not sure how that would happen since they're basically just a review aggregate site like Metacritic. The only issue is that they both occasionally fiddle with how the reviews are weighted so unless they get really hands on with that I don't see much changing.

I swear, the second I saw CGI orcs I knew the movies were going to be shit.

Still, all three movies were completely souless and it honestly should have just been a single film. But multi-part adaption films were big around that time and Hollywood is going to Hollywood...

>Still, all three movies were completely souless and it honestly should have just been a single film.

It should have been the two movies it was originally slated for. 3 was too many but 1 would require lots of cutting or lots of rushing (see the Rankin/Bass version for this).

>>94423743
It's not like they took advantage of the additional footage in the first place, they spent most of that extra runtime making shitty OC rather than adapting as much content from the books as they could. If you cut out all the bullshit from all three films that weren't in the books you'd basically end up with a single movie. Especially all that shit about Gandalf and co. fighting Sauron, they could have just left it as a couple of teases while in Mirkwood and the film would have been infinitely better for it. Almost all the big setpieces in all three films could have been reduced to their highlights in order to create a single tight film. I don't want to spend hours watching a bunch of dwarves faffing about in some sort of slapstick routine or watching Legolas being more annoying than he's ever been.

Hollywood has always been infamous for its nepotism, drug trafficking, massive child abuse, and money laundering. Its movie industry fizzling out would be a blessing but that's not happening any time soon because domestic inflation, easily-created hype amongst moviegoers, and foreign markets have been allowing even the worst movies to make a profit.

The industry was doing this with movies first. You often see movies with barely any review the day they hit theaters. It just means, the studio didn't do a press screening.

Yeah, but as you said RT don't write review, they compile them. It gets hazy because critics get hazy. RT can't do anything a bout it.

But do you have any actual facts?

Or are you one of those fags who base their opinion on hearsay and rumors?

Where specifically did you see news and evidence of that shit happening? Did you ever do any research into it besides taking it at face value?

You can pretty much tell a movie is bad completely based on the promotional trailers now. They always do the same generic 'epic' music with action sequences laced together. Even going so far as to spoil parts of the movie, like jokes and even major plot points.

>>94419310
You get the money from some investors, let's say chinese or saudi funds, who have no fucking idea of how a movie is madee but want that sweet capeshit 30 to 100% ROIs. The studio takes the money not as a loan but as a venture investment, and they make the movie. They inflate the costs and funnel the money through subsidiary companies like VFX or marketing companies owned by the studio or by the same shareholders who own the studio. The production+marketing budget is already in their pockets, and then they release the flick and it "bombs" as in doesn't make enough money to cover these fake costs, so since there is no profit, there is no obligation to give shit to those investors. The costs aren't real so it might make a "real" profit, but since it won't be on papers, the studio takes that money too.

Then if they have a huge hit and they make profit, they can pay less taxes by having these "losses" in the books

I mean we all saw BvS and Civil War, there is no way they spent 250 million on each of those pieces of absolute crap

>>94413313
Hollywood went through a big rut in the 60's and 70's. They hired the Indie filmmakers that were making big splashes in the Indie Film scene of the 70's like Spielberg, and Lucas. They created a Second Age with Jaws, and Star Wars. Hollywood became big again in the 80's, but took a fumble in the early 90's with remakes of TV shows like Beverly Hillbillies, and Newspaper comics like Dennis The Menace. The 2000's managed to be better than the 90's when it came to Hollywood's success, but started going downhill with the 90's cycle of remakes, or even worse, reboots.
Hollywood will either do what they did before, and fix their shit, or get more Indie filmmakers.

>>94413922
Except the Chinese Market doesn't really have as much a say as the American market does. The Chonks only allow some ~30 Western movies into their theaters, and most if not all try to appeal to China to access that sweet ~40 million dollar boost to ticket sales, like with Red Dawn. Originally it was supposed to be the Chinese invading America, but when the Publisher saw this was gonna not be accepted by the Chinese propaganda film bureau or whatever the fuck it's called, they spent some like 2 million dollars in post editing it all to be about North Korea, and it *wasn't even accepted* by the Chinese after it was released. The pdf really explains why the Chonks have such a desired market.

Basically this, like Konami they are a bunch of oldguard that don't want to adapt to a changing market like Nintendo, the only things keeping them afloat were some key franchises that are now dead because of creators leaving or mismanagement.

That's a worse crime as far as entertainment is concerned. Being boring. If the movie had Food Fight! styled visuals and really incompetent writing, this movie would be "so bad it's good". But it's not in this case.

There's also that shit with Corey Feldman and Corey Hains.
