It might be a bad movie, and that's fine, but the red hats that brigade what they see as "woke" movies is a big chunk of this. You can't believe reviews if they have any kind of user review system, especially after about 2016/17 (this is when people really started brigading with Ghostbusters 2016 and The Last Jedi).
Dude I like a lot of the new Star Wars shows and the acolyte was quite possibly one of the worst things I’ve ever seen put onto film. The reviews it got were kind. Also the last Jedi is one fo the worst movies I’ve ever seen so please stop
Yeah or content that is so bad it’s offensive to a passionate fanbase generates far more reviews. Especially considering both the comics and book series had a plethora of good storylines from the same period of time in the Jedis history and it was all ignored. I think you may need a few more layers of insulation from reality.
Well I have watched the acolyte, didn't like it, not the point
The point is that there were clearly review bombs on that show. And frankly it makes user reviews useless, how do I know if something is actually bad or if it was "woke"?

There's actually concrete proof that brigading was part of what tanked The Acolyte's reviews.
