how can something have a 4 on imdb and over an 80 on RT?

racism pretty much sums that up by people in the Imdb community because it is user driven

Only like 100 votes so far, the majority of which likely didn't see it. A super-controversial movie like this is also going to get a bunch of 1-votes automatically. I'm sure it'll eventually settle somewhere in the standard 5-7 range.

I just gave it a 1 rating.

Why? I truly hate this piece of Pro-black, race-baiting garbage called Spike Lee.

And no, I'm not white.

Spike Lee not shutting up?.
Why isbit Bad? It's good that there are some "famous" people criticising systems we live in, how can you expect change when everyone is ignoring the discussion about the topic, this only leads to rebooting the not talked about topic to new heights (history has proof). I know what some people here think (especialy here on imdb) "how come we cant criticise (opposing race, usualy everything non white)", why simple because all the stuff that happened and still is (The friendly police of our beloved United States of Air-conditioning, incarceration dominance of Ebony folks, general total domination in media of pale people, nearly non existent présence of Native Americans in media,...). What happens most of the times when criticism from pale people comes against every other skin type?, Fox News which basically sais day in day out everything non white is responsible for doomsday, some guy saying that Mexicans are rapists and drug dealers and of course you have to build a wall between Mexico and US (didnt we already have that in Berlin back then? And it failed miserably whaaat???) and... Oh wait whaat???? The guy is running for president and dominates all poles
(Jees i wonder how far fetched WW3 is with a poor soul like that)

Critics lived Quiz Show, too, and that has awful viewer response.

I saw this at the South Barrington 30 last night (Chicago burbs) and it was honestly a pretty major disappointment. I was hopeful it would make a more serious and honest attempt at social commentary, but alas, it's just yet another weak attempt by a has been filmmaker who has not really been relevant in a decade.

If you want a film based upon a mythological Greek premise, go rent "O Brother Where Art Thou" instead. If you want to learn more about why places like Englewood, Back of the Yards, West Garfield, etc. are Black hell holes, watch a well made documentary.

It's not awful, but it's not memorable either. A 4.5-5 sounds about right.

Some movies have an 8 user rating and a 40 metacritic... I love some movies critics and users hate. Who cares?
I liked it. That's all I can tell you. That's all I care about.

While rotten tomatoes is just PC whipped shills, many of them already paid off by the big studios to give automatic good reviews to less than stellar movies. It would be hard for brianless, spineless PC whipped shills to give bad review to a movie like this.
