The TRUTH about paid movie reviews. In the wake of Superman 2025 I discuss paid movie reviews, the evidence for them, the theories and basically why people believe that influencers and critics are no longer impartial. This covers the history of criticism, red carpet events, gift bags and much much more. We answer the age old question of 'do critics get paid for positive reviews?' and we shill along the way.
Welcome to the heavy spoilers show, I’m your host Paul and this video we’re discussing a topic I see floating around every single time a new is very divisive.
That is paid reviews.
I’ve never actually seen it be at the extent it is with Superman and I’ve people getting called shills, being told they get paid for reviews and even bloody Kevin Spoilers has been put in the firing line. So I thought I’d just do a video discussing the theory, the logic behind it, where I think the lines are blurring and ultimately what I would say is probably the best course to take as a consumer.
Now addressing the big question up top.
Do Critics get paid to write positive reviews by Movie Studios?
