On movies/games/tv shows/books, when they show little snippets of reviews, it's always something like "Amazing", "Jaw-dropping", etc.

I've always wondered if they can (and do) take these quotes out of context to glorify the product. That is, the review says "This game is definitely not going to break serious ground" but you read in an ad:
"...going to break serious ground." - NY Times

Who knows the quality of these quotes?

It'd be a great way to get sued for misrepresentation.

What critics?

"I find it absolutely amazing that some hollywood moron would greenlight this piece of shit."

"ABSOLUTELY AMAZING"

Or you could just make up critics like somebody got busted for a few years back.

I like it when they combine quotes

"Fuck this movie" and "This movie blew" becomes "This movie...blew me away"

"two thumbs up"

"Shoving two thumbs up into my urethra would be more pleasant than seeing this movie again"

When a stranger asks your opinion on a work he/she produced,

you'll always find you or someone else saying nice things to preserve the other person's feelings.

Is this something that occurs?

Or are the snippets - as they say - "legit"?

Its kinda like reality tv show previews

on the dramatic preview its like "I FUCKIN HATE YOU IM GONNA KICK YOUR ASS"
when you watch the show it was actually " just wanted to go hang out with jody instead of you girls tonight you act like i fucking hate you and im going to kick your ass, LOL" in a loud ass club where they have to raise their voice to be heard
