@Atheck: you seem OoC today. Lol.
No, I've just come to expect the worst, and whatever outcome that happens to be the most unfavourable for how we interpreted this story and the film is the most likely one to be true, considering the series' track record these last few months.
He didn't provide any credible sources, as far as I can remember (I only glanced at it), so all of the users numbers are invalid based on that single fact alone.
Edit: just took a glance at the first two links. The first link had nothing in terms of movie figures (in terms of money) and the second link, as he claims that others give more favorable ratings, as a less than 20 votes on the movies rating itself. The third shows The Last at 7, but he doesn't bother to give any other movie rankings from other sources, so that might just be according to that site.
I believe that link was used as a piece of evidence to reinforce his claim of the film holding generally favourable opinions with fans.
We can't overlook the fact that Yahoo Japan's review system has been tampered with by Western fans. Resent them or not, I do believe that there is some merit to the claim that at least some of the reviews provided on YJ were created by the same parties to tilt the score of the movie somewhat, and no, I don't believe Pierrot is the only group that is capable of inflating the reviews with bribery and automated messages.
I suspect he could offer more review websites if necessary.
Nowhere did he provide a source for monetary gains. He provided one link for ratings, and the number of people that rated the movie were less than 20, so that's a highly inaccurate poll.
Ignore that troll.
Really? Then allow me to offer evidence.

Granted, some of the links are more dated than others, but a general estimate is given for The Last to earn 2 billion at the box office before its run is over, and I suspect they may not be factoring in the international market.
So, I still can't see what's you trying to do here. Saying that Ramen bring angry posts from 2ch here? Yes, because plenty of people are angry how all turned out.
Prove that persnon's post it true? Now I don't even remember if it had links in it. If it had, good, if it doesn't - too bad for them.
Proving me in something that I didn't even stated? Good luck.
The Last can be considered succes for all I care, there is much more casuals and people that didn't care for story or plot. But it's not what SP trying to show it is, it's not The Last: Naruto, it's not a movie about bonds, but hey, maybe it's only a salty opinnion of salty fan as me? Because you know, as long as there is quotes like this:
LOL to the salty haters who said this movie was a flop. THE NARUHINA TRAIN HAS NO BRAKES
You must not worry. This franchise doomed to only keep decrease in quality.
They have every right to be angry for the reasons you're explaining with this post. However, that right doesn't extend to twisting information and facts around in order to discredit the film. Official sources are admitting that the film is earning significantly large at the box office. Why is this important? Because money is the prime motivator for these people. The more it earns, the greater the success in their eyes. And the reason for my presumption of Ramen's friends being motivated primarily by emotion has to do with what he's mentioned regarding their fervour towards the characters and the premise of the film in the past. Generally speaking, I don't recall seeing these posters offer any certifiable evidence to verify the profit estimates they're giving.
