The consensus of the latest politically correct meme is far more important than the movie or anything else. And in this case, critics signal virtue by adopting the calls for diversity (just not in their own industry).
Proyas notes how the initial calls are taken up by critics who echo the activists. "And then there are some movies which come along with bloggers already bitching about them so doesn’t it make things a little easier if you are struggling for something to say? Well why not just say what those bloggers are saying, even if they haven’t seen the movie like you have. That will result in a review that will be received well. Won’t it?"
What he describes as consensus reviewing though is often a political issue consensus.
"What I'm angry about is consensus reviewing - and how it damages movie making universally. I question the motives behind many critics response to my movie in this case. Some reviews so perfectly reflect the opinions of "hate" bloggers before the movie opened. Wonder why?"
