Or do you mean he was specifically paid by someone to give The Village a bad review? I doubt that would be necessary.
AFAICT he was a pretty honest reviewer giving his own opinions. People have different tastes. Like some people like stinky tofu and others find it disgusting. Some people like The Village and some don't.
My sister likes everything, for example all episodes of Star Wars, 1 though 9. Whereas I only like 4,5,6 and find the rest to be horrible. She liked the latest "Haunted Mansion" so I watched and found it atrocious.
It's fairly easy to corrupt a single person (this happens everyday, everywhere) and even if he was never paid, he probably had people he liked in the industry that he would not dare to criticize because, you know, they were friends.
I'll trust review aggregators any day over a single person's opinion.
