Warner Bros. China has been widely accused of paying critics and social media influencers for good reviews of #TheFlash by local audience on the past weekend. Many people are saying they'll never ever believe any positive reviews & reactions of any WB movies. (1/5)
For the record, local audience actually really like #TheFlash with 8.0/10 on Douban site. But the "one of the best superhero movies ever" claims have been criticized by fans, haters & trolls...Especially in a time when Guardians 3 got 8.5/10 while Spider Verse 2 has 8.6/10. (2/5)
Since no developed critic system, local distributors has strictly controlled critics even ticket sites like Maoyan & Taopiaopiao (both are also part of their distributing parent companies). It's hard for critics to give real (bad) reviews if they see movies before releases. (3/5)
Warner Bros. China has done many press screenings for #TheFlash since later April. Lots of positive comments came out at that time, but public didn't really believe it cuz those reactions/reviews all look same... Instead of helping the movie, fans believe it caused damage. (4/5)
Local fans and film lovers still call on general audience to see #TheFlash , just ignoring what WB did. (5/5)
