I can assure you, all of these people are real. That said, maybe half are legit critics/professionals, while the rest are apparently "influencers" of some sort. To that end, this screening *was* held on the Paramount lot, with a number of the actors in attendance, followed by a Q&A. So there was also a "fanfare" element, which can of course influence opinions somewhat as well. Still, when reactions are
this good across the board, there's almost always merit there, even if slightly exaggerated. We should know more Monday night, when traditional screenings start, for more traditional critics. Regardless, the fact that Paramount is showing this thing over a month in advance, without embargoed reactions, means they have all kinds of confidence in it, which is a great sign.
