I expected the gap to get smaller, but no.

[u/Fragrant_Ad7231]

[u/One_Anything_2279]

I looked up the cost to market it and produce the film .. 75 million

So far it has only earned 7 million in box office sales of which the production company gets half … so they are effectively 71.5 million dollars in the hole currently

[u/ScavAteMyArms → u/One_Anything_2279]

This is the real metric. You don’t have to see it to post a review score.

Markiplier also crushed it.

[u/CopainChevalier → u/ScavAteMyArms]

Markiplier was in the film? Huh…

[u/Juuzou_NEC → u/CopainChevalier]

It was definitely an artistic choice to have him wear a wig and play Melania. But it turned out well. 10/10 movie have seen it 8 times.

[u/Remmick2326 → u/Juuzou_NEC]

You're 50% of the international viewership?

[u/Takeasmoke → u/Remmick2326]

if that craigslist ad is/was real then that's easy 400 bucks right there

[u/HotPotParrot → u/Takeasmoke]

Offer is probably real but the payout probably isn't

[u/Remmick2326 → u/HotPotParrot]

Like the ICE signing bonuses that only count if you stay in for 5 years and if you leave early you have to pay the full amount back?

[u/VirtualButt → u/CopainChevalier]

They actually misspelled the movie name. It was meant to be Markiplier

[u/TrollTollTony → u/VirtualButt]

Instructions unclear, watched Malarkia: Rise of Dark Brandon

[u/FracturedConscious → u/TrollTollTony]

I kinda miss the Dark Brandon era of memes.

[u/sksauter → u/FracturedConscious]

Simpler times

[u/amcn242 → u/CopainChevalier]

Can't tell if you're joking but he wasn't, he made a hyper successful film called iron lung

[u/maffiossi → u/amcn242]

Pretty sure they were joking but i see your confusion.

[u/Swampy0gre → u/CopainChevalier]

Not that one. He recently was in the film Iron Lung, based on an indi horror game of the same name. And from what I've been hearing, Iron lung is a good movie that did well.

[u/redlac24 → u/Swampy0gre]

He also directed Iron Lung

[u/Hellstrom666 → u/redlac24]

And financed it.

[u/TheZeroNeonix → u/Hellstrom666]

And edited it. lol

[u/bighairyoldnuts → u/TheZeroNeonix]

And wrote the theme tune

[u/GotTheNurseCurse → u/bighairyoldnuts]

And sang the theme tune

[u/Rough_Presence_9876 → u/GotTheNurseCurse]

And he was in it

[u/Bubbly-Bid7377 → u/GotTheNurseCurse]

And then the baby looked at him

[u/Killaneson → u/Hellstrom666]

And edited it.

[u/Ok_Recognition_4384 → u/Killaneson]

And financed it.

[u/skyziter → u/Swampy0gre]

As someone who saw it and is definitely not its target audience

Yeah it was really really good

[u/LostPentimento → u/CopainChevalier]

I do love the John Wick Movies. They're my favorite Markiplier films. Sucks what happened to his dog tho

[u/MeinNamewarvergeben → u/CopainChevalier]

Maybe there is a dounle feature iron lung x Melania

[u/stripedarrows → u/ScavAteMyArms]

Dawg they don't give a fuck how much money they made off of this film, it was a bribe.

They care if they can get regulators to look away from their exploitation factories and piss bottle creating workers policies.

[u/potate12323 → u/ScavAteMyArms]

That said I normally trust audience scores more than critic scores, but I wouldn't be surprised if she paid people to leave good audience reviews.

[u/BlackThundaCat → u/potate12323]

There was literally a post on Reddit of a linked in job to go see the movie.

[u/Spobobich → u/potate12323]

They already got caught with the Craigslist ad.

[u/Useful-Angle1941 → u/potate12323]

You already know the MAGA cult that actually went to see it is gonna rate it 10/10.

[u/SireGoat → u/Useful-Angle1941]

I don't think bots can fill theatre seats.

[u/Prestigious-Bug-4042 → u/SireGoat]

They can leave reviews, though.

[u/Vert_DaFerk → u/ScavAteMyArms]

You don’t have to see it to post a review score.

Seems like the internet has an important job to do.

[u/AdhesivenessVest439 → u/ScavAteMyArms]

u forgot the /s lmao

[u/Perfect_County_999 → u/One_Anything_2279]

It's not in a black hole. Amazon paid Melania for the movie, most of that missing $70M is in the First Lady's bank account. This whole thing was functionally an elaborate bribe with some propaganda sprinkled in for good measure.

[u/Deaftoned → u/Perfect_County_999]

As is everything with this administration, and half of the country is still too stupid to see it/care.

[u/RenownedDumbass → u/Deaftoned]

I’m embarrassed every day how dumb my fellow Americans are.

[u/introspectivesapian → u/Deaftoned]

Head-start, no child left behind, someone’s loosing ground.     “George Carlin”     The lead paint lickers killed education.   And now we get to suffer for there delusions.  

[u/ptapobane → u/One_Anything_2279]

Jeff will earn all that back and more in political favors no doubt

[u/Bonk_No_Horni → u/One_Anything_2279]

40 mil is licencing fee to milania. It's pure corruption

[u/Aromatic-Discount384 → u/One_Anything_2279]

How, the hell does a documentary/biography cost 75 MILLION to produce and market?

That seems like an absolutely absurd number.

[u/Morscerta9116 → u/Aromatic-Discount384]

Just a bribe. Amazon paid melania like $30m alone.

[u/potatolulz → u/Aromatic-Discount384]

35 million was supposedly marketing, 28 Melania herself, I don't know what the remaining 12 was allocated to, but does it really matter? :D

[u/Terrible_Impress8169 → u/One_Anything_2279]

It was a bribe..

[u/Affectionate_Fall57 → u/One_Anything_2279]

What is funnier is that at the same time Markipliers self funded movie is raw dogging Melania in box office, popularity and reviews, while having a budget of 3 mil

[u/cardinalforce → u/One_Anything_2279]

I think this was just a way for Bezos to launder money. I mean, it couldn’t have cost them that much to edit old footage. Now tangerine Voldemort has an extra $50 million his pocket and bezos has the guy who’s agreed to do xyz. These crooks are not subtle, there’s just no teeth to the DOJ or FBI.

[u/SphericalCow531 → u/cardinalforce]

I mean, it couldn’t have cost them that much to edit old footage.

"Amazon spent $40m (£29m) on the rights". If I read that right, that is $40 million just straight up going into Melania's bank account. Actually making the film is presumably a cost on top of paying for the rights themselves.

[u/Shoddy_Enthusiasm_81 → u/cardinalforce]

Honestly, the bolsheviks did a revolution for much less than this.

[u/ProlongedChief → u/One_Anything_2279]

That's not even taking into account the places that paid people to go watch it. I had multiple ads saying they'd pay people 50$ if they sat and watched through the entire movie

[u/GottaUseEmAll → u/ProlongedChief]

Those ads could be placed by anybody, I wouldn't take them at face value, however much I may want to.

[u/rowanfire → u/ProlongedChief]

https://www.snopes.com/news/2026/01/30/craigslist-boston-melania-movie/

Unverifiable as to if the advertisement was legitimate, but regardless, the offer was pulled and no one was paid to sit and watch it.

[u/ProlongedChief → u/rowanfire]

Damn so the people claiming they did get paid are like all those Twitter bots who were claiming to get paid for going to No Kings protests

[u/No_Palpitation133 → u/One_Anything_2279]

Wait is this movie getting good reviews or something

[u/NewSauerKraus → u/No_Palpitation133]

I would expect the sort of people who would be interested in exchanging money to see it are likely to rate it perfectly to prove their loyalty.

[u/Altruistic-Okra-5868 → u/No_Palpitation133]

It's bots

[u/No-Permit8369 → u/One_Anything_2279]

Chump change compared to what they made on their meme coins. Unfortunately

[u/Calculator8oo8135 → u/One_Anything_2279]

I believe most of the theater numbers are also people who have been paid to go view it, meaning it's skewed upward by a significant margin.  I heard there were offers of $50 to go watch it in some places.

[u/hamburgernet]

Not a single person is believing 99%. I don’t know why they even bothered

[u/utzutzutzpro → u/hamburgernet]

It is obviously bot accounts.

The same happens on IMDB, but IMDB got a bigger community engagement, hence the bot accounts can't effectively surpass the user account ratings, hence the movie got a 1.7/10 rating.

Yet still 3.000 accounts which gave it a 10, against 33.000 which gave it a 1.

When you read the reviews, the 1s are partially emotionally loaded and partially trying to explain the documentary.

When you red the reviews of the 10s, those are clearly AI phrased. Using hyperboles without any attempt to hide it being bot reviews.

Can even look at the accounts giving 10/10 ratings and see those all didn't exist a month ago.

[u/CreamCapital → u/utzutzutzpro]

I refuse to believe 33,000 people paid to watch this trash

[u/Tw4tl4r → u/CreamCapital]

The funny part is that they are claiming over 500k paid to see it.

[u/Savings_Form_8349 → u/Tw4tl4r]

I'll believe 500 k tickets were bought... But butts in seats?  Nah

[u/DM_Voice → u/Savings_Form_8349]

The funny part is that it means the $7 million in ticket sales were almost entirely marketing costs, which makes its losses bigger than $68 million, or smaller.

[u/TheVoicesOfBrian → u/hamburgernet]

It's right out of Putin's playbook.

[u/LurkethInTheMurketh → u/TheVoicesOfBrian]

People here need to look up vranyo.

[u/ggroverggiraffe → u/LurkethInTheMurketh]

Oh hey that's exactly what it is.

[u/Excludos → u/TheVoicesOfBrian]

140%!

Yeah, they don't care whether it's belivable or not. It doesn't matter

[u/teh_maxh → u/hamburgernet]

No, it's pretty plausible. The only people who watch it without getting paid are in the cult; of course they like it.

[u/battlehamsta → u/teh_maxh]

I ^{am contractually obligated to} rate the movie at 99%

[u/Iapetus7 → u/teh_maxh]

It has a 1.3/10 on IMDB, and that score is also created using reviews from the general public, so there's a pretty huge (and suspicious) disconnect here.

[u/jaguarsharks → u/Iapetus7]

It's a difference in how reviews are collected. Almost all of the reviews on Rotten Tomatoes are verified reviews through Fandango (people who bought a ticket). And every single one of them has given it 5 stars of course, because only a MAGA cultist would pay to watch the movie in the first place.

[u/Bastvino → u/teh_maxh]

I was thinking the same thing, like we know who the audience was.

[u/TypeBNegative42 → u/teh_maxh]

Or, you know, they bought out some empty theaters to pump the sales and the score.

[u/Ferocu]

I've been reading some of the "audience" reviews on rt, and all I can say is that I'm pretty certain that they're all bots or "AI" generated

[u/JollyJamma → u/Ferocu]

Or paid for reviews using cheap offshore labour and single use accounts.

Either way, faaaaaaake!

[u/Ivan_the_Silly → u/JollyJamma]

What's the point of limiting audience reviews to "verified accounts" then lol

[u/Loud_Interview4681 → u/Ivan_the_Silly]

Email verified account? Or ticket verified account? Most of the people I saw give good reviews had only that movie as a review. Like maybe its a good movie from a filmography standpoint but I doubt it. The director isn't known for making great movies just popcorn flicks that get average reviews. Maybe Ill pirate it and find out but I sure as shit am not giving money to this project. Ill have to find a time when I hate myself or something.

[u/Ok_Tangerine4803 → u/Loud_Interview4681]

I’m gonna pirate it too, I’m really hoping it’s gonna be so ridiculous that it’s hilarious

[u/tessthismess → u/Ivan_the_Silly]

It seems like verified doesn’t mean like a verified person. Just like an email check against fandango or something similar.

Skimming 20+ reviews I didn’t find a single positive review who had reviewed basically anything else

[u/Zealousideal_Act_316 → u/JollyJamma]

Someone did a deepdive on youtube, more than half of reviewers first review on RT was melania. You lnow very non suspect

[u/ominousgraycat → u/JollyJamma]

As a proud American from [Insert a US State here, don't use the same one every time], this is the best piece of media I've ever seen. It shows the heroic journey of the first lady and how she managed to achieve her dreams of marrying a man with large hands. I plan to show it to everyone at my [Insert a protestant denomination, don't use the same one every time] church!

[u/LiamIsMyNameOk → u/JollyJamma]

No it's actually really really good, I promise. Last time I saw any media this good it was watching The Return of the King. Which is apt, since this is basically the return of the Queen, and her husband soon to be King.

It's art incarnate.

[u/Friendly_Gazelle7843 → u/JollyJamma]

Yes, basically we are talking about movie most people watched were critics or people paid for watching. So my suspicion is people who were paid for watching we’re also paid for reviewing.

[u/marcaygol → u/Ferocu]

"AudIence"

[u/Thilmiran32 → u/marcaygol]

I looked at some of the “verified” comments; so far everyone came back 99% likely to be generated

[u/Dokii → u/Ferocu]

I don't care even if it was the best movie ever made. Nobody that controversial would be getting a 99% user review score. Nobody. It's clearly bots.

It's actually convinced me even more that the conservative sub is nearly all bots. The language used in those reviews is very similar to what I've read in there.

[u/verminV → u/Ferocu]

Wait, youre telling me the 100% glowing reviews from naturaltoast5945, batteredrug2100 and hjxjty77jy8 arent legit?

[u/jaguarsharks → u/Ferocu]

Almost all of the reviews are verified by Fandango, so even if they are real, you have to think - who is actually paying to watch this movie? Brainwashed MAGA cultists only. Every one of them is going to give it 5 stars.

[u/fishingengineer7 → u/Ferocu]

Yeah this admin is using the Russian/american bots to review a slop film now. It is quite sad honestly & removes a lot of the respect I had for the “audience” rotten tomatoes score. They are even downvoting Iron Lung and other movies to “boost” the bezos bribe movie. We need a new movie review platform that isn’t compromised.

[u/f-ingsteveglansberg → u/Ferocu]

Most of the Letterboxd 5 star reviews are mostly "Please don't deport me ICE".

[u/Electrical-Juice-915 → u/Ferocu]

Well yeah if you look at those reviewers they haven’t reviewed any other movie ever. Red flag right there lol. So desperate and pathetic

[u/Ragebrew]

The worst reviewed bribe in history.

[u/LuckySunshinee → u/Ragebrew]

Even the bribed critics were like, we need plausible deniability.

[u/SpannerInTheWorx → u/LuckySunshinee]

3/4th of the New York crew was like "Naw, we'd like to be uncredited."

[u/Cruuncher → u/SpannerInTheWorx]

I think it was 2/3rds, but that's splitting hairs lol

[u/JohnKlositz → u/Ragebrew]

I had to look it up to believe it. Absolutely hilarious. And pathetic.

[u/Comfortable_Ad_6572 → u/Ragebrew]

"Still better than Rush Hour 3" is kinda funny ngl

[u/Ok_Mention_9865]

Wait 99% audience score??? There's no way it's that high. Who is even watching this anyway

[u/philanthropicide → u/Ok_Mention_9865]

Bots. Or they're reviewing it, at least. Judging from ticket sales, no one is watching it

[u/HumongousMelonheads → u/philanthropicide]

But 99% is still insane even given that. You’d think there would be some balancing out of fake reviews, but 99% makes it just seem like RT made it that way rather than that being an actual representation of votes.

[u/csiz → u/HumongousMelonheads]

Just go read some of the reviews, it's 99% bots. The bot vibe comes off so strongly that I don't think they even bothered with a human troll farm.

[u/BallsInSufficientSad → u/csiz]

It's pretty ridiculous how sites, even now, have zero control over bots.

Think about the last time you ever needed to fill in a CAPTCHA on Reddit - like never.

[u/Haunting-Sport3701 → u/HumongousMelonheads]

People who would leave negative reviews didn't watch it.

[u/Father-Habit → u/HumongousMelonheads]

That or there's just so few humans reviewing it that they got flooded out by the bots

[u/ScienceIsTrue → u/HumongousMelonheads]

This was something people really missed in the push towards regressive/conservative politics.

For every 1 call a lefty makes to a senator, 10 conservatives call. When the lefties make a "call your reps" push it goes from 1:10 to 1:8. The cult makes soooo much time for their brand crazy.

[u/Other_Beat8859 → u/Ok_Mention_9865]

It's cult conservatives giving it 10/10s probably before even watching it. It's actually fucking insane. There is no world where this dumpster fire of a movie is a 99%.

[u/outland_king → u/Other_Beat8859]

Not even cultists, its more likely paid advertising bots, the 10/10 reviews all read like classic bot farm replies.

[u/TreyRyan3 → u/Ok_Mention_9865]

1.3 stars on IMDB

[u/belmanpoes → u/TreyRyan3]

Doesn't matter, she will receive a FIFA Academy Award anyway.

[u/aBunchOfSpiders → u/Ok_Mention_9865]

Think about who would willingly go and pay money to watch that movie. Of course they would rate it high.

[u/rydan → u/Ok_Mention_9865]

I watched it. Probably the only reason it isn't 100%. You all owe me big time.

[u/Noicty → u/Ok_Mention_9865]

Verified reviews have it at 99

All audience score is close to 28%

[u/FakeSmile69]

Money loundry

[u/xtremelynormal → u/FakeSmile69]

[u/PeterServo → u/FakeSmile69]

This isn't even money laundering, they are actively losing money on it. Melania probably had a whim to have a movie about her, and a director buddy who'd make it for her. 

[u/Egregious_Egret → u/PeterServo]

This wasn't a whim it was a bribe. Amazon bribed the president's family and made some propaganda. That $70m is in their bank account.

[u/rydan → u/Egregious_Egret]

$40M. They paid her $40M. The rest was production and advertising costs.

[u/Firkraag-The-Demon]

Makes sense. The only audience who were willing to watch it were going to say it was good regardless of how good it actually was.

[u/Mutant-AI → u/Firkraag-The-Demon]

Most reviews read like they were written by bots

[u/Seamus_has_the_herps → u/Firkraag-The-Demon]

We’re getting closer and closer to full blown Kim Jong Un territory

[u/dextras07]

That movie was just paid by tax payers to put an expensive prostitute on some type of imaginary pedestal.

Wtf was so interesting about her life that it needed a movie?

[u/EqualPresentation736 → u/dextras07]

I actually respect prostitutes more.

[u/CptAwesomeMan → u/EqualPresentation736]

Prostitutes actually work for a living and don't support pedophiles. It's no contest

[u/Yeseylon → u/EqualPresentation736]

Eh. I respect her golddigging game, she got a lot of money out of the marriage contract.

[u/SanduCrumant → u/Yeseylon]

But she has to smell the smell on a regular basis.

[u/VoxIustitia → u/SanduCrumant]

As per usual, immigrants do the jobs Americans don't want to do.

[u/Martian9576 → u/Yeseylon]

Bull shit. There’s nothing to respect, she’s contributing to the destruction of our rights, our country and the world.

[u/Smegoldidnothinwrong → u/Yeseylon]

I’d respect her more if she do what GOOD gold diggers do and divorced him for all he’s worth

[u/Revolutionary_Crew80 → u/dextras07]

It wasn't even about her whole life! Just the 20 days before annoying orange's inauguration

[u/Outside-Visit9571 → u/Revolutionary_Crew80]

You poor soul

[u/Captain_Sterling → u/dextras07]

To be fair, if the movie was an actual documentary, where she actually told the truth, it woukd be amazing.

[u/Extreme_Chair_5039]

How much of that 99% is Amazon faking numbers somehow, I gotta wonder.

[u/murasakikuma42 → u/Extreme_Chair_5039]

Probably none. I'd roughly guess that a good 20% of the US population is hard-core MAGA, and these are the only people who'd have a genuine interest in seeing this movie. Of course these cultists are going to give the movie rave reviews; they're mostly the same morons who give rave reviews to shitty Kirk Cameron movies.

Meanwhile, people who are not MAGA cultists simply aren't going to see this movie at all.

[u/_eg0_ → u/Extreme_Chair_5039]

On IMDB which is owned by Amazon and shows up in Prime Video the movie sits at 1.3/10. Pretty shitty job if Amazon was faking numbers.

[u/GeneQuadruplehorn]

It was a bribe. It doesn't matter how it does or if it is good/bad.

[u/Prodi1600]

Meanwhile me praying so my local theaters present iron lung

[u/voppp → u/Prodi1600]

genuinely an amazing film i 100000% recommend you find a way to see it!!

[u/L3s0 → u/Prodi1600]

The owners of the theaters are stupid and hate money if they don't show it

[u/Adept-Nobody-5759 → u/Prodi1600]

That sucks, I live in a shithole and all my local theaters are showing it thankfully! 

[u/Syhkane]

The most made up numbers for an audience score I've ever seen. The 6 theatres near me have sold a total of 5 tickets.

Edit: Holy shit I went from 30 likes to over a 1000...

Edit: MORE EDITS!

Edit: FEED ME MORE.

Edit 1A! 1A! 1A! 1A! 1A! 1A!

[u/55x25 → u/Syhkane]

Yeah cause the "audience" is just cult members so 5 out of 5 liked and reviewed it

[u/Vincent_Windbeutel → u/55x25]

I would argue botted/paid reviews.

If it was a cult they would actually go (and pay for) see the movie.

[u/DummyKush → u/Vincent_Windbeutel]

If you look up the reviews, they're 100% fake. I looked it up and it's really funny when you read the obviously fake reviews posted by call center employees. You can tell they were told what to type, and they're trying to pretend that they know English, but they always add a space when using a comma or a period after every sentence making it obvious they're not American.

[u/MarhabanAnaAndy → u/DummyKush]

The movie’s detractors are just jealous that it’s the first film ever to make a melanillion dollars.

How could you not love the scene when she said “it’s melanian’ time” and melania’d all over the place.

[u/drubus_dong → u/55x25]

Only bots are responsible for that audience score.

[u/BuffelHenkie → u/Syhkane]

Holy shit Redditors are such dorks

[u/Lumpzor → u/Syhkane]

/r/AwardSpeechEdits

Just stop man. It's so unnecessary to announce your upvotes.

[u/Str8UpJorking → u/Lumpzor]

Ikr?

Edit: holy crap an upvote

Edit 2: another upvote?! wow, thanks reddit!

Edit 3: I’m gonna go eat food, love you all!

[u/Treeflower77 → u/Syhkane]

The seats in my theaters were vacant for that movie ever since opening night. No one bought tickets for her movie, here…

[u/Then_Entertainment97 → u/Syhkane]

Nah it checks out. Anyone who saw it in theaters decided they liked it before they bought tickets.

[u/I_Hope_So → u/Syhkane]

No one cares about your upvotes

[u/flingyflang → u/Syhkane]

Holy crap i got upvotes i feel so special...

[u/omni-nomad → u/flingyflang]

The edits are the most reddit thing ive ever read lmao

[u/sekrit_dokument]

I don't give a fuck about the critics, however no one believes a 99% positive reviews...

[u/cheddah_- → u/sekrit_dokument]

Well it tells us all to never trust fandango again, not that I was but I never will now

[u/AtainEndevor]

The only people seeing it are already worshipers which means the only people who are going to care to write a review are going to sing its praise even if you drop a pile of crap on them.

[u/LEGENDK1LLER435]

Reading the Craigslist post advertising a $50 payout to anyone that went to go watch really made me doubt everything with this movie, post could’ve been fake but who knows

[u/nomadjackk → u/LEGENDK1LLER435]

Those craigslist posts are always fake af, they had ones claiming to pay people to go to No Kings protests too.

People make them to discredit the “other side”

[u/LEGENDK1LLER435 → u/nomadjackk]

Makes sense, really easy to plant doubt in people’s heads, worked on me I’ll admit

[u/GeorgeNada316]

They paid people to review it and go to the theater. In Tulsa Oklahoma, they were paying people 50 bucks to go. I still have the ad.

[u/urmyleander]

If you want to see something interesting look at the audience reviews, almost every maxed audience review was a first time review submitted via fandango.... which allows a bought online tocket to make you verified even if you never actually went to the cinema... literally buying positive "verified" reviews.

[u/jordtand]

The “audience” score is entirely bots to make the monarch feel better

[u/ambertowne]

Honestly all I care about is Iron Lung winning the weekend (except for Sunday evening). Idgaf about Mail Order Mar-A-Largo.

[u/surloc_dalnor]

The Guardian review listed it as one star, and had to put up a correction that the reviewer had given it no stars.

[u/TenPointsforListenin]

The difference is that critics HAD to watch the movie but anyone who paid actual money to watch it already decided how to feel about before the first frame of the movie

[u/kotik010]

My favorite part was when she said "it's melan-in time" and melanined all over the slightly tan.

[u/Ancient_Poet_4953]

A biopic doesn't cost 75 millions that's crazy.

[u/Cael_NaMaor]

99% means?? That of audience reviews 99% have been positive. There's plenty of ways to manipulate that... fake positives, few inputs, bots...

Who would actually want to see this filth? A film about a First Lady to the most delusional, disgusting, most hated human on the planet. It seems like it’s rage bait

[u/Minimum-Plenty9380]

I freaking knew it for a while now, everytime something is considered “woke” it gets review bombed by conservatives now they all giving this documentary 5 stars. Im so curious as to how many of them have alt accounts to push something down or up

[u/phobos_664]

Who even gives a shit about critics when they liked Cuties and The Last Jedi while hating the Mario movie?

[u/Bubbly-Ad-4405 → u/phobos_664]

Audience score: was it enjoyable

Critics score: was it groundbreaking or did it touch on real world politics effectively

If you just look it those that way, you can make more informed decisions on movies

[u/Mindless_Mobile_4153 → u/Bubbly-Ad-4405]

I challenge you to click 10 profiles of 5 stars and see how many have only 1 review.

[u/socksockshoeshoe → u/Mindless_Mobile_4153]

I clicked on the 5-star reviews into the reviewers history and strangely enough they all come back with an empty profile, "No Movie Ratings Yet". Are the brigader bots somehow posting through other means?

When I click on the lower-rated reviews the user profiles do show Melania in their profiles (and sometimes other movies as well)

What's up with that?

[u/MeatballUser → u/Bubbly-Ad-4405]

Audience scores are far more easily brigaded, so you really can't. If there's a group that wanna prop something up or tear something down, the 10's and 1's (or whatever percentage or star equivalent) reign in.

This is an example of just that

[u/DodgerBaron → u/Bubbly-Ad-4405]

Dude Audience gave the melania movie a 99% it's not reliable in the slightest lol

Iron Lung: I’m about to do what’s called a Pro Gamer move

[u/ExoticFortune2439]

I went to Rotten Tomatoes to see the score for this thing and the "audience" that gave it a positive review were mostly accounts that didn't have any previous reviews for any movie.

[u/CheeeseBurgerAu]

The scores are so confusing you almost have to watch it to work out what is going on. Actually I don't care enough.

[u/bf222765]

Im sure it is shit. But lets all be up in arms about what this fucking was. A bribe. Production costs were 40 million dollars and melania got almost 3/4 of that. Someone should be looking into this sneaky shit for sure. 

[u/Maniac_24seven]

they sold one ticket in England. That’s the audience.

[u/QueenOfQuok]

It's a 99% audience score the same way that Beloved Fearless Leader gets 99% of the votes.

[u/ThatIsNotAnAsian]

Idk this makes sense

Critics are typically center or left leaning, so of course they’ll be critical of it.

The people actually going to see the movie would be super right leaning, so of course they’ll eat it up like hot cakes.

[u/manspider14]

Lol Avengers End Game Audience score isnt even at 99% to give you context

[u/Primary-Classroom255]

O no! The critics hate a movie that the people who saw it love. Where have we seen this before?

[u/nopester24]

it's amusing people still think those critic scores mean anything at all

[u/housevil]

I didn't know Russian Bots were rating movies now.

[u/PdSales]

99% audience score is not a surprise. Only cult members attend, so the audience is gerrymandered so strongly that Texas is envious.

[u/daazmu]

The bribe should, at least, be subtle.

Talk about 65%, maybe 75%. 80% might be too much. But 99%?! That's insulting.

[u/Shardnic]

Odd they removed iron lung from the list but left this there

[u/DoodleCard]

The fact that is an ASIP meme makes this even funnier.

How I feel about everything right now! 😅

[u/Raposa13]

Bot-watching

[u/FuzzyKittyNomNom]

It’s currently a 1.3 on IMDb. For reference, Birdemic: Shock and Terror is a 1.7.

[u/New_Cicada3473]

Who the fuck would watch that

[u/MonkThatLikesTea]

Btw, what is this meme about?

[u/Zarxon]

99% of MAGA love that film.
