    I don’t think it was AI doing it, it was likely someone in the marketing department.

    It’s actually, as a concept, pretty brilliant. Undercut the complaints of the current movie by showing the complaints about the directors previous films.

    They should have just found real complaints.

    I also don’t think Dracula is on the same stage as the Godfather or Apocalypse Now.

    It isn’t hard to find real reviews:

    https://www.ruthlessreviews.com/reviews/the-worst-review-the-godfather-ever-received-by-michael-mckown

    “Overly long and boring.” - Rex Reed on the Godfather, 1972

    https://theweek.com/entertainment/5191/apocalypse-now-original-1979-reviews

    “The Vietnam War was a tragedy. Apocalypse Now is but this decade’s most extraordinary Hollywood folly.” - Frank Rich, Time Magazine on Apocalypse Now, 1979

    “profoundly anticlimactic intellectual muddle” - Vincent Canby, New York Times on Apocalypse Now, 1979

    Maybe they put in the fake quotes as placeholders meaning to run down the real quotes later and just never did? 🤔
