Outside of this site the reaction towards TROS has been overwhelmingly positive.

No, not really. Most people I know found it was the worst SW ever made.

Most people who have left a review on Rotten Tomatoes have liked it. It has 38,000 verified reviews to rank at 86% and more than 90,000 reviews total 78%. So maybe most you know, but not most people. Most people are liking it.

Yeah the 86% is highly suspicious at the moment with the growing feeling that RT have frozen the audience score which hasn’t even so much as twitched from 86% up or down since it first went live with around 6000 reviews at the time, till now with near 40,000. People are making the link with RT being owned by Fandango, a ticket sales company (including movies) that is aligned with making “strategic partnerships with movie studios” and the current President is an ex-Disney executive.

Fandango have also named Captain Marvel and Star Wars movies as high profile films that they introduced the new verified audience review feature to help protect from “trolls with agendas” and so there are obvious links and vested interests (or conflicts of interest you might say) between movie studios and the company that owns a movie review website that is becoming known for it’s bias.

Rotten Tomatoes

Really?
I have no opinion of the film, but RT is rubbish. After the past two years it’s had, I’m surprised to hear anybody still trusting it, though I’m sure many do.

I to think many people (in general audiences) are simply unaware of what RT has become and still naively trust it’s figures. I’ve pretty much completely stopped reading most critic reviews anywhere and instead focus on audience, family and friend reviews/comments as they are always far more in line with my own views than any of the critic reviews I have ever read for many years now which often hold views that seem completely alien and disconnected from what I would consider normal well rounded people to hold.
