(Review-bombing is when a horde of negative reviews with low ratings are left on an entities page in protest.) The page defines itself by its anti-Marvel and anti-Disney stance as a pro-DCEU fan page. One Facebook group, “ Down With Disney's Treatment of Franchises and its Fanboys,” which aligns itself as a pro-DCEU community, announced on Facebook that it had generated trolls to help review-bomb The Last Jedi’s score on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s hard to discern whether reviews of the movie are genuine or, as some outlets have reported, generated by bots or organized attacks from 4chan. How could a movie so universally applauded by critics not have the same resounding effect on general moviegoers? There’s a gaping disparity between what critics thought of the movie (certified fresh) and the feeling a majority of moviegoers walked away from the theater harnessing. Star Wars: The Last Jedi is one of the top-rated movies on Rotten Tomatoes, according to critics, but scroll down the movie’s page a little further and audience testimonies tell a different story.
