Remove "The film's marketing has been called out for being poor." SMT2002 (talk) 17:55, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done

I think I'll remove it. I couldn't find any reliable sources that support this, and it's poorly worded in the first place.

Three non WP:RS sources I could find plus one Reddit discussion (again, not a usable source, so I'll remove the passage for not having any WP:V sources.)

Semi-protected edit request on 27 November 2022

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Strange World (film). (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

From: "The film has received generally positive reviews from critics"

To: "The film has received mixed reviews from critics".

Source/ Evidence: rotten tomatoes summarized critic responses: "this dazzlingly animated adventure offers little audiences haven't already seen". Score of 65 on meta critic also confirms mixed reviews. Jeffer4646 (talk) 01:18, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

But Metacritic clearly says reviews were positive. [1] We could discuss and maybe if the sheer number and weight of reviews from Rotten Tomatoes justified it then we could change it but it would be better to get local consensus for that change in advance before we go contradicting what the reliable source Metacritic says. -- 109.77.205.15 (talk) 03:20, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
