Poorly reviewed movies are becoming box office hits with increasing regularity. Why? Because what matters these days isn’t what the critics think, but how well-established the brand is

IF I was to go and see a blockbuster it would be on personal recommendation. Otherwise I confess I do read The Guardian reviews first.

Most critics were way off - they didn't get the intended message. The movie not only inspires diehard fans but also new generations. Bravo!! BohemianRhapsody

Critics have never ever liked anything Queen have ever done. So no, it's not the year of the critic proof film. It's the determination of a critic proof band.

The critics wrote a bunch of pretentious tripe complaining that it wasn't gritty enough and that it brushed over his tragedy. Basically, the critics missed the entire point of the film. It is a brilliant celebration of his life!

As long as people think it entertaining, exciting and watchable, they don't care about the details.

true stories typically do well at the box office!

Has there ever been strong correlation between critics' opinions and box office success? I'm not saying critics have no influence at all but it's certainly not the first time a movie that was panned by the critics has become a hit, and vice-versa.

Just possibly the critic are out of touch. Or as some might put it, 'up their own arses'. BohemianRhapsody Guardian

It was brilliant with a fabulous (of course) soundtrack.

Queen fans aren’t going to read the critics about a film - the critics panned Queen’s music for years

Seriously, does anybody really expect a masterpiece of cinema with a rock bio-pic? It is what it is and people like it for that reason.

Can’t wait for Bohemian Rhapsody II !! 🙏🙏🔝

yeah, and the continued degaying of FreddieMercury BohemianRaphsody
