I find the data compelling. The movie is being subjected to an online attack. Even if most of the newly registered raters are bots, it is quite a massive effort. I suspect this may be an experiment to see if online ratings can actually be used to steer a considerable chunk of the economy....

What I find interesting about this thread is how almost everyone has misunderstood it by not reading the OP.
The debate is not about if Star Wars the Last Jedi was a good or bad movie, the debate is around a group deliberately review bombing the movie with negative reviews, not because of the artistic merits of the movie but for political reasons.
I do not care if you thought the Last Jedi was amazing or rubbish, thats not what this thread is about this thread is about a alt-right group trolling the movie with bots to bring down its rotten tomatoes scoring and generate more hate around the movie.
Honestly if you think the movie is utter crap thats fine, but its not what this thread is about, its about the alt-right (or a alt-right group rather) negatively review bombing the movie because they don't like its politics. Also I am not claiming that if you are someone who does not like the movie for legitimate reasons that makes you part of the alt-right.
.I think that so many people posting on this site have just not bothered reading the OP that very few of you actually understand what you are posting about.

So if the movie is so bad, why is it shattering box office records? And you still haven't addressed the unnatural number of new accounts appearing in such a brief span of time.

This is the issue at the heart of this thread that nobody who is posting the usual "rubbish OP" posts is bothering to address.
The issue at the heart of this thread is not about if the last Jedi was a good movie or not but rather its about the manipulation of the ratings for political reasons.
Currently this movie as a 92% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes but only a 55%

Anyhow I thought it added more to the philosophy of the force and it has made me question my beliefs so I liked it and boo to the right wing bots.
