Spiderman was wack though. and numerous movies have topped it since.. that's exactly the type of shit they get paid off to write.

ok just ask yourself how many good reviews you think i can find for shitty Marvel movies like Iron Man 2 or Spiderman 3? the studio is owned by Disney you're naive if you think there aren't critics getting paid to hype up a movie before it's release. 1 review literally said it's the best comic book movie since Spiderman FOH
The real question is why Sony had to conceive the counterfeit critic to begin with, given the world of movie junkets, where normal reporting standards don’t apply. Reading the glowing newspaper-ad recommendations for even the lamest movie, you might wonder if those quoted critics are real. Unlike Manning, they are. Many are habitués of the junket circuit, an all-expenses-paid gravy train where the studios give journalists free rooms and meals at posh hotels and the reporters return the favor with puffy celebrity profiles and enthusiastic review blurbs. Sometimes studio executives will suggest what kind of quotes they need, and even shape the reviews to suit the studio’s goals. If a studio wants its movie pegged as “This year’s ‘Alien’,” the reviewer delivers precisely that. No one complains, and bad movies end up with great quotes. The junket troops are a mostly anonymous crowd working for obscure outlets like Wireless Magazine and Inside Reel, which helps explain why nobody—even people within Sony and Revolution—noticed that Manning was a sham. “If he doesn’t exist, he should at least have given us a better quote,” Roth joked. The Manning fabrication broke even Hollywood’s lax rules. But the real scandal is what’s considered acceptable.
