“Taking on critics might be an exciting and cathartic marketing tactic, but I suspect Megalopolis will need critics championing it when it actually comes out,” Ebiri writes. “And making up fake quotes from our heroes is probably not the best way to get us on your side."
Certainly true of some critics, but a lot of them are so devoted to giving their authoritative opinion on a movie that they would never take money to change it unless you’re talking a shitload. There are also some, fewer all the time I admit, with integrity. Roger Ebert would never have taken a bribe for a good review. I doubt Leonard Maltin would.
