'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' has low initial audience scores

Commentary: On Rotten Tomatoes, audiences don't love the new "Star Wars" movie like the critics do. The results are similar on Metacritic too.

Is there a Russian force behind this? Disney didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

The audience score, which certainly doesn't reflect the views of my colleagues here at CNET, is a marked contrast to that of the critics. Ninety-three percent see the movie as fresh and wonderful. (When it came to "Attack of the Clones," the critics gave it a 66 percent score, much closer to the audience members.)

The poor audience reception for "Last Jedi" is reflected in Metacritic scores too. While critics offer a healthy 86, users balk. There are currently more negative than positive user reviews out of the almost 1,500 posted. This leads to a mere 5.0 score.

It's hard to imagine that this movie won't be an enormous success, although opening night box office was slightly down on "The Force Awakens." Perhaps, as more people see it, the audience rating will rise.
