Are SJW's Ruining Star Wars?

Editorial Analysis

I sense a disturbance in the Rotten Tomatoes reviews… Cenk Uygur, Brett Erlich, and Matt Atchity, hosts of The Young Turks, discuss. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.\n\nRead more here: https://www.vox.com/culture/2017/12/18/16791844/star-wars-last-jedi-backlash-controversy\n\nA divide between movie audiences and critics happens all the time — especially with blockbusters.\n\nConsider the recent case of Justice League, which brought together a bunch of big-name superheroes, to the delight of 79 percent of those who saw it and bothered to register their opinion on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics, however, only liked the film to the tune of a 40 percent score — a 39-point gap. There’s also 2016’s Suicide Squad, with a 26 percent score from critics and a 61 percent score from audiences, for a 35-point gap.\n\nThese gaps are normal. If you’ve bought a ticket for a movie — as opposed to having seen it at a free critics screening — you’re far more likely to have self-selected as a fan already, and thus, you’re far more likely to be into the movie. (If you were to make the argument that Rotten Tomatoes is a deeply flawed system at best and actively harmful to the future of criticism at worst, well, I wouldn’t stop you.)\nSo there’s a pattern. Critics savage a blockbuster. Audiences feel it’s better than its reputation. Rinse and repeat.”*\n\nHosts: Cenk Uygur, Brett Erlich, Matt Atchity\n\nCast: Cenk Uygur, Brett Erlich, Matt Atchity\n\n***\n\nThe Largest Online News Show in the World.
