"Post a link up that proves that ""IMDB use some kind of dodgy algorithm to 'adjust' audience scores"" in those exact words, please?"

"Lee Trundle 10:21 Thu Aug 25 'I suppose audiences are chained down and forced to watch it, Surf?' I shouldn't think so, Trundle, it's very enjoyable as I've said all along. Try to read the instructions before you flame, or you might get burnt."

"Its a difficult time for cinemas. Obviously in the pandemic people got out of the habit of going and with all the streaming/stealing services about now people who are struggling financially are more likely to watch at home on their decent sized tv. Studios are also playing safe with franchises like all the Marvel shit and endless sequels rather than taking risks on things aimed at those with a mental age above 12. Tv is seemingly taking over those productions. To support Curzon cinemas I had one of their yearly passes up to about May and didn't renew when it ran out because I was going to be away for a couple of extended periods in May & June. Was thinking I might renew after but the only thing I have seen that I might want to watch was the remastered version of Paris, Texas. And I have that at home"

"Rotten Tomatoes is pointless anyway because of the way it uses metrics. The audience score is fine as it simply records the percentage of people who gave it 3.5 or more out of 5. Critics don't always use that scale, and in some cases no scale at all. A 3 out of 5 gets a hit, while a 6 out of 10 gets a miss and it's all regardless of the actual content of the review. Also, worth pointing out, as weirdly a lot of people don't seem to get it, a 90% score is not the same as scoring a film/TV series a 9/10. It just means that most people thought it was OK, not necessarily great."

[Lee Trundle]

"Prey has become the single most watched movie or TV series on Hulu. I suppose audiences are chained down and forced to watch it, Surf? Or they've fixed the viewing figures?"

[SurfaceAgentX2Zero]

"The audience scores on Rotten Tomatoes can't really be believed on anything with any sort of political content. Review bombing is rife in both directions. And the critics' score will always be higher than the audience score for any film with a liberal slant. For instance, the abomination that is She-Hulk started with a critics score of about 87% (yes, really. lolllllzzzz), where it remains, and an audience score of about 68%, which seemed suspiciously high. It got review bombed down to 62% (lots of 1/2 star ratings) and has since been review bombed by the liberals back up to an unfeasible 74%. Almost every rating that's accompanied by an actual review slates it. Both Rotten Toms and IMDB use some kind of dodgy algorithm to 'adjust' audience scores (usually upwards). Also, be aware that Rotten Tomatoes is part owned by Warner Brothers and IMDB is entirely owned by Amazon - then follow the money. And I suspect Disney have a team of people actively fixing these 'charts'. It's also rumoured that Disney hold some sway over the critics by way of only giving previews to those who give them generous reviews."

"Wasn't the chick also red in the original woke Predator movie, Sold0? Her knowledge of the Predator pretty much wins the day for Arnie, plus also she turns up at the end to rescue him after he's won."

[Northern Sold]

oh and Alien has a shit CAT

[Northern Sold]

Is it because the Alien and Terminator birds are.... errrr.... white.... and the Prey bird is.... errrrr... red?

[master]

"incredulous with rage a woman could possibly be cast as the protagonist And yet everyone loves alien, terminator etc."

"incredulous with rage a woman could possibly be cast as the protagonist And yet everyone loves alien, terminator etc."

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

"That's true. I don't care about public reviews anymore than the critics. I judged it for myself and thought it was crap. Not sure why you are accusing others of being wound up whilst dismissing those that might have given it a bad review as 'spittle flecked red faced incels that haven't seen it, incredulous with rage a woman could possibly be cast as the protagonist.'"

[Mr Anon]

"You can count on a lot of user reviews being spittle flecked red faced incels that haven't seen it, incredulous with rage a woman could possibly be cast as the protagonist. Sort of like a handful of people on here. Not sure why people are getting wound up by the dog either! Some oddballs on here."

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

"Looks like reviewers like it way more than the public. Little girl and a dog. LOL. What next, a blue haired non binary child strangling the Predator with a rainbow flag."

[Northern Sold]

https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/prey_2022 Imagine a lot of the reviewers hate French fur trappers.... and obviously love Indian sqwaws and dogs....

[Northern Sold]

New Predator film coming out.... about a Vodka drinking Cossack taking on the Predator... called Ivan... right up Jaan's and Kaisers street

[Mr Anon]

love the fact that people can suspend disbelief for 7 foot space hunter but not nasty French men

[Kaiser Zoso]

Yeah Prey was abysmal but I can see why divs would think it was great

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

Prey was awful and made a mockery of the original Predator films. A little girl and a dog? Fuck off!

[Hermit Road]

I did mean to post that. It was a redeeming feature of the film and a nice surprise. I expected them to have cockney accents.

[Northern Sold]

"Well I loved that Hollywood has finally seen what we ... the Brits have knowns for thousands of years.... that the FRENCH are cunts..... so seeing all those odious smelly French Fur Trappers get fucked in the arse by the Pred' got an big thumbs up from me.... oh and don't give a fuck that they were White, Brown, yellow .... French Fur trappers are cunts.... bravo Hollywood"

[Hermit Road]

"Predator films are supposed to be ridiculous and I didn’t think Prey was a bad film but it would have been better without the film makers ticking every boring social justice box that Hollywood has deemed absolutely essential these days. Men bad - ✅ White men really bad - ✅ Women strong - ✅ Non-white women really wise and strong - ✅. It’s not that any of these things can’t be true, it is the dull predictability with which they are portrayed in an industry that is supposed to be creative, and the sanctimonious, self-congratulatory tone of the film industry who in reality are egotistical narcissists using modern left wing politicians to cleanse their souls."

"Mr Anon 1:09 Tue Aug 23 'most of the men die fighting it giving her time to run away,' They literally tied her to a tree and used her for bait. 'Incel'? You can't make a point without some sort of sexual fantasy abuse,can you?"

[Northern Sold]

nerd 3:52 Mon Aug 22 HA HA HA... superb.... i love that concept.... maybe Predator v Aussie Sheffield Shield cricketers... would be brilliant. Agree with majority on here... didnt find Prey Pankhursty at all.... now... GI Jane?? I mean ... come on...

[Mad Dog]

"The problem is in Hollywood now is they are so desperate to seem.progressive and make such wonderful perfect female characters (or sinply replace existing I.P. with a race or gender swap) that even if a decent female character did surface (ie ripley or conner) they've made such a rod for their own back with a string of Mary sue characters that are already perfect and only struggle they have is to realise how perfect they are, decent female characters will now get lost as they won't be able to separate the 2 The new crop of Mary sues can't be seen to be weaker than a man nor be saved by nor taught by men. The men can not be seen to be better than them. Their character arcs are more upward trajectories. With only the patriarchy standing in their way. Which makes it hard to have a credible male villain if they will never struggle to overcome them. This intern has thr by product of making the female characters less credible. Take marvel for example. The whole of phase 4 (especially the tv shows) are female characters that are essentially replacing the original male counterpart being instantly better and belittling them. Loki, hawkeye, thor, she hulk etc. Feige has announced he wants more women characters than male ones and now those new ones will instantly reduce their potential credit as people are aware of this and wondering if they're just shoe-horming in female characters for the sake of diversity. All this in an attempt to cater for the woke crowd that wouldn't watch the property anyway whilst simultaneously driving away their natural audience who are sick of getting preached to and concerned by the staggering drop in quality of product. The prey character isn't a Mary sue, struggles with multiple aspects throughout the film and the only reason she survives so long is the predator ignores her twice as a non threat. All the males are shown as pigs (save for the translator and her brother... and even he takes credit for her work) . The ending where his own target system kills him is fucking stupid by the way. My issue with prey was that it's basically the same as predator 1 (and to some degree predators (the one on the alien planet)). I place it below the original, predator 2 (which I like) and probably below even a picture (female protagonist in that one). Similar to but above predators (which I was just bored by) but way above avp2 and thr predator (looking for autism... really??) Predator, like Terminator and alien franchise are busted flushes. There's not much they can do and should let all 3 franchises just die."
