Sounds like you think "quality" is some objective scale and people are somehow being unfair by having aspects weighed more heavily in their subjective experience of a film than you would like.Professional Reviewers who review the movie outside it's quality and grade it low because they think it will inspire incels to kill are on the forever ignore list as they showcase they don't review the movie but make social commentary and apply it to every movie they have ever seen. They might be even influenced then if they like or dislike a director or a cast member
I mean, he's not implying he's mentally ill, but how much do you know about Joaquin?

I am no fan of the patronizing way mental illness has been treated in Hollywood.Better than it continuing on as it has been (IE completely ignored and/or misunderstood).
Hell, the isolation that comes from mental illness can itself be the springboard into violent tendencies (maybe this movie touches on that?).

Some reviews literally say movie was tight. Well edited. Amazing acting but too disturbing or the movie is proof society is bad 2/5
they are not reviewing the movie, the are judging it's impact or potential impact on social commentary

I'm not really super familiar with RT, who are "Top Critics"? Who gets that label, what is the qualification? Are they international critics, or mainly from the US?RT Scores at the moment.

I don't like to use the word "hate" lightly but when it comes to this film. I hated it. Roger Ebert said it best in his review of North so many years ago. I hated every single minute of this film. Joker is complete and utter trash. To say that this film is also a disgrace to DC Comics is not an understatement.

Uh whut?
I'm glad I'm not the first person on Etc to notice that categorization.I mean, this is the same image that puts Portal and Fallout 3 as 'ancient games'

Damn, even with spoilers I kinda want to read that review. If someone who is reasonable person and not some nerd hating on Star Wars or Brie Larson, hates a film, I want to know why. Though "being a disgrace to DC comics" comment kinda throws me off.
Ah alright, thanks! I haven't heard a lot of good about Ehrlich though. Never read him myself, so can't make a judgement.From my understanding, top critics tend to be either long term voices, especially at one particular publication (like Ehrlich or Zacharek ) or are considered a top tier great voice/writer (like a David Jenkins). Also seems pretty focused on US/UK publications

Assuming you mean a narrow slice of critics that say the film is great but hate it for reasons outside the movie, but I'd believe it more often that outside of the cinematography, music, and acting, (which have seemingly gotten universal praise) there are plenty of criticisms that fall on direction and the writing, whether gripes are specifically because of how people feel it handles its subject matter or whether it has them walking away saying its shallow and doesn't say anything of substance about its more provocative elements.Some reviews literally say movie was tight. Well edited. Amazing acting but too disturbing or the movie is proof society is bad 2/5

Can't wait for the organized harassment campaigns./s You know they're coming with a comic book movie.
How does Rotten Tomatoes' Top Critics thing function anyway? Always perplexed me.
How?
Get ready to be called an incel or alt-right if you like it =PHopefully this movie doesn't end up with the people that hate it getting really annoyed that most people like it because that always gets tiring real quick.
Probably a mix of 10's and 5's or some shit (on a 1-10 scale)

Yeah it's great that it's causing conversation, the topics are important too. But I don't think the discussion is on the right track yet. Maybe it's a flaw with the film, can't say before I see it. But I have an inkling it's more an issue with Twitter and those who use it, to air their reactive takes.Seems like the movie is already causing conversations about alt-right, incels, and mental illness (amongst other things). Hopefully these conversations continue and don't get dominated by those supporting the shitheels and those demonizing the mentally ill.
The ones who liked it, really like it; the ones who hated it, really hate it.
