Ooh look at the RT score, it looks like the downsized astro-turfed "premiere", and Zegler less visible than Lord Lucan hasn't made any difference.

Where have you been? It’s been open season on Disney for a while!!!I thought all reviewers were paid shills bought off by Disney? Why is this reviewing so poorly then?

Helen O'Hara (a woman) at Empire Magazine had this to say:
Seemed like a button was pushed on January 20th for some reason. Even the likes of Variety have been critical of them and their associated sub brands recently.
Commercial reviewers are herd animals. For years there they wouldn't dare criticise films with certain topics or diverse casts because it would be the death of them. The tide has turned now and its considered fine to be critical of these same things. There will always be the people at both ends of the spectrum who will be horribly biased no matter what but the people in the middle who generally try not to get involved in things like identity politics are seemingly free to be honest again.

So more of an off white then.
Hollywood reporter, LA times, Newyork reporter have all been dog piling for a while. One even said sorry for labelling criticism as racism or one of the other popular themes at the time.
Did giggle at the “Disney Star Wars jus isn’t good” article.
Even admitted Hollywood was stuck in the anti Trump movement from his first term in office.
Disney, coprorately, are on the wrong side of the Palestine/ Israel split and diversity take a back seat when there's an opportunity to align with the likes of Hamas for these people.
Hence Disney's product's are now fair game for 'progressive' criticism especially when there's a Jewish person with a leading role.

Just listen to the career of the woman who wrote the screenplay...
Watched Doug’s review of this and sounds like it suffers the same as all the other reboots:
(i) needlessly overcomplicates a simple ‘emotion-led’ story (and makes things ‘real’) with the result feeling tonally off and logically dissonant… you don’t feel the need to question what makes sense in simple children’s stories but bloating them out and ‘adding weight’ makes them collapse on themselves;
(ii) boring.
Lesser gripes being awkward and weightless CGI dwarves, too many songs (including the new standard ‘wacky villain’ song) and needless plot threads set up to intrigue that don’t resolve.
Sounds like one to avoid.
