Review of Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe (2016) by Derek B — 28 Aug 2017

There seems to be some confusion about film critics in the RT comments section. Critics evaluate films based on cinematic language - the screenplay, editing, cinematography, etc. - NOT JUST THE STORY OR THEMES! So when you see a low critic percentage, it's not because they hate anti-vaxers (although they are dangerously ignorant of the facts to suit their own conspiracy-ridden worldview), it's because the film is not well made! Films tell stories in a particular way - they aren't just visual books.

So learn something about film techniques before you mock or berate critics that work hard to try to tell a potential audience whether a particular film is worth their time and money. Not everything is a personal attack on your opinions! Last, if you look at films with wide margins of difference between critic and audience scores, they come from particular genres of film where the audience are watching a topic or theme that is completely uncontroversial to them, to the extent that it blinds them to weaknesses in the film.

I.e. Christian films and films aimed at teenagers. So before you accuse someone of bias, how about inspecting your own?
