I recently watched a movie called Equilibrium, that most viewers liked but critics hated. And for the first time, I strongly agreed with the critics. It's the kind of film that if you're not too familiar with dystopian sci-fi you may like; but if you are, you'd easily see that it's a mish-mash of lots of other sci-fi dystopias with almost zero originality. This is when I understood how critics feel.

Right and wrong have nothing to do with it. Critics are PAID to give good or bad reviews.

They gave the Polar Express, a fun and good animated adventure with good voice acting, only a 55 percent because of the animation quality, and Crawl, a totally bland and generic monster movie, 83 percent. Those are a couple of examples of why critics aren’t always right.

This isn't anything groundbreaking, using always or never in an argument is already invalid.

+BelphegorXVI it's definitely mostly the internet. sorry, we just covered the stats and experiments on this in social psych. for the most part this sort of behavior is confined to the internet. people tend to live and let live in real life. at least, the majority of them, according to the studies.

+Ryndan Riley People are in real life almost exactly like online, although in reality they usually repress those "dickish" reactions without realizing that they're mostly as predictable as every clichèd flick. As soon as they get exposed to that (in an argument or sort of it), they lose their mind and turn just like their Internet-counterpart.

TheMrRuttazzo That may be your anecdotal experience, but there isn't a lot of empirical evidence to back that up from social psychology. You can find a lot of data on it on google scholar if you want. For the most part, the internet creates reactions like that out of people for various reasons, including physical anonymity, for example. There are other situations that can bring that out, but claiming that a behavior is a result of inner character is what is called the fundamental attribution error, and is also rejected by modern psychology. You can make people act pretty much any way you want, given the right circumstances. That doesn't mean it's part of who they are. Really, this stuff is interesting to research. Check it out on google scholar.

interesting that is, a good movie it was, mhrm lol sorry couldn't resist, but yeah that reminds me of a comedian who once performed in Germany and they didn't laugh the entire time but after she was done they burst into applause and cheers and it turned out they just didn't want to interupt her

The filmmakers for The Lion King said something similar.

Thats because the Mario movie was never ment to be a movie for critics or even something that was ment to be deep. Yeah i know we shit on the lorax and the grinch for beeing too kid friendly but thats because they came from a place of thought and pasion that we get mad if they don't capture that same spirit even if they are based on childrens book. Mario since day one was always an excuse to go to the adventure to save the princess and beat the bad guy, since the priority of the games was always the gameplay not the story. If it was a zelda movie or even the friggin last of us then we would have hate them because they came from games with great story and writting.

⁠@@motor4X4kombatI don’t understand the whole “Critics don’t care for movies that are made for fans” argument. The Lego Movie, Godzilla vs Kong, TMNT Mutant Mayhem, and to a small degree the first Sonic movie got positive reviews by critics and they are made for fans and are by no means deep movies. I’m not saying the critics are right or wrong but they’re still entirely capable of seeing the same merit and enjoyment that fans may get out of certain films for fans.

@@motor4X4kombat If someone want to make a Splatoon animated movie/series and needs to appeal to both critics and the fans of the games in order to be succesfull, then it needs to have alot of dark moments in a same level as Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Rebels.

@@Butwhythough881 the lego movie was a lot more than just that, that movie had a good story, extremely clever writing and good written characters, even if you could argue that movie is following the chosen one trope, it did it in a self aware way, and tells a message about how even a seemingly regular guy can be special in their own way and not be limited to just what people says you are supposed to be. I’m sorry, but I just don’t like how you underestimate the Lego movie like that. If you like the Mario movie fine, but that movie is nowhere near Lego movie in terms of storytelling

Well, both Christopher Nolan and Heath Ledger were making fun of the cliche with the line "very poor choice of words". It's another nice little touch to the masterpiece that is The Dark Knight. It's not a "cliche dodge" (as CinemaWins would put it) but an acknowledgement of how often said cliche is used and how people should try to come up with something else.

I've literally seen the same moment in dozens of cartoons and TV shows. The Dark Knight is a great film but it's not *that* clever.

"Very poor choice of words"

Joker™ "The evil deadpool before evil deadpool"

Especially the look Joker gives Batman before he literally let's her go.

Except that didn't happen in the video.

TheDaveMaybe watch his other videos

Still other videos can give this video a bit of added flavor if you keep it in mind that even nostalgia critic can be taken out of context hilariously.

The message still remains

Except, his job is first to get views, then to entertain (there are things that in our household are called trainwrecks: so bad/dumb you can't look away, so the two are not always the same), then to be an actual critic.

I’m just really mad that it got a useless follow-up Netflix animated series that for some reason my brother unironically likes. Then again, he also likes Teen Titans Go, so I don’t really take him seriously anymore.

Sprechen Sie Deutsch? 100% yes! I can acknowledge Frozen is a good movie. I just personally don’t care much for it. And it’s not cause it’s an animated Disney film. I enjoy both Wreck it Ralph films. Frozen just doesn’t do it for me. Is it good? Yes. Do I care about it though? Not really.

@@ReinSouls In my opinion, Frozen is a decent movie but I kinda used to hate it because of "Let It Go" keeps playing everywhere and it bothered me as a kid. And my problem about the movie is that Hans is considered the main villain of the story. So how does it work? I thought this is a movie about "man vs. himself" conflict where Elsa had to control her uncontrollable ice powers to prevent everyone from getting harmed and she's originally the main villain like from the original Hans Christian Anderson story. Then again, it's a decent movie. Nothing special or anything. At least for the haters of Frozen, I absolutely agreed with them because of the problems.

Praise the Sun! \[°]/

+WreckNRepeat Well, I guess that's true. But, if I can judge whether a movie is good or bad, that's just my opinion and mine's alone. But, I won't just deny that almost every movie has its' flaws, as long as they're not so damn noticeable or are all over the place *I'm looking at you M. Night Shyamalan's "The Last Airbender" and Jem and the Holograms (2015)!* So, all I can say is that I don't judge a movie based on what the critics say, I only judge a movie when it has the simple basic premises of storytelling...."Show, don't tell!!!", "Introducing the characters, getting the audience to know more about the characters, while setting up on their journeys and exploring more about them to keep the story engaging and interesting to watch". And most of all...putting in some actual effort and heart into making the movies interesting to watch.

Neo-Xgray87 That's a great example of what I'm talking about. You have unique criteria for what makes a movie good. There are some critics who might like a movie even if it doesn't have the simple, basic premises of storytelling. And there are many critics who might dislike a movie even if it does have those premises. So if a critic says that the story and characters are well crafted and engaging, but the action is sloppy, the pacing is off, and the themes are muddled, then their overall score should be of little importance.

WreckNRepeat Thanks.

I can understand that mindset. I went to see the Assassin's Creed movie because I'm a huge fan of the series, and when I left the theater I was pleased with what I got, not only for being faithful to the source material, but also for its great action sequences and some thought provoking messages on religion, violence and free will. At the same time though, I could see why a general movie goer wouldn't be that impressed by it. The action scenes are pretty short and aren't around much, so what you're left with was a rather dull storyline.

Technically if one makes up their own opinion then why should anyone else's opinion matter?

I don't know either how it's possible.

Léo VK it's hated because of the maniqueism.

Really? I guess it would have been good to show the good side of nazis XD But seriously, of course it's maniqueist. If there ever was a "just war" (not that I'm saying there is) fought by America, it's this one. You can criticize the WAY it was fought (unnecessary bombings of civilian cities). Sure, you could aslo criticize the American generals for some mistakes and sacrificing the lives of American soldiers without second thoughts. But during the D-day the basic American soldiers made a huge sacrifice, and it's their point of view that is shown (brilliantly) in this film. And yet they still question themselves and have doubts, making them feel more humans. As for the German soldiers, yes obviously they were not all evil. But a huge number of them had commited crimes of wars (I'm not even speaking about the Shoah, but about the many slaugthering of prisonners or civilians on the Eastern front- and there were also examples on the western fronts). And it's NOT as simple as SS= evil and Wehrmacht= neutral, as the Wehrmacht also commited many crimes of war without any involvment of the SS. This, if anything, was a western post-war propaganda, in order to have a "good" German western army fighting on our side during the Cold war, which was basically based on the (very) slightly denazified Wehrmacht minus the SS. So, having ONE German soldier that convince the Americans to release him and then attack them back again later and kill one of them in a gruesome way was in no way unjustified. Yes, the fact he kills exactly the one Jewish soldier is a bit over the top. But many Jewish soldiers did die in the Allied forces. What the German soldier did here is incidentally in no way a crime of war- neither escaping nor hand to hand combat are forbidden by the Geneva convention. If anything, "well done" (I'm obviously not rooting for the nazis here, just from a neutral point of view) for "escaping", and then fighting again later. So, I would not agree that even this one German soldier is presented as evil. As far as I remember, the other German soldiers are just fighting and trying to kill the American soldiers (as they logically should). They are a bit de-humanized as they are not often shown (it's not their POW that is the focus of this film), but they are in no way portrayed as evil (again, I might not remember everything). Yes this movie is pro-American propaganda in a way, and therefore I understand why it could be hated. But it is in my opinion a very good war movie: well written characters, good effects that hold to this day, very memorable scenes of war (that's pretty rare in war movies to have action-packed and yet more or less accurate war scenes), showing both heroism and the horrors of war, good pacing and engaging (if a bit straightforward, but that's not necessarily bad) story, emotional but not over-sentimental.

Léo VK well I think that's one of the main reasons it's kinda hated but you have a solid point, though one thing that few people can deny is it's solid direction of "action" scenes a demonstration of how shaky camera and jarring editing can work in a good way. I haven't completely watched so I can't say more than that.

You should watch, even if you end up not liking it, it is worth your time in my opinion ;) It is after all still a classic of war movies.

@@ethanjones1327 It's a kaiju movie. It's all about watching cool monsters do cool things with some human filler. That's what it's always been.

@@ethanjones1327 Idk about that. There were definitely some really nice visuals and good acting by the cast. It's miles better than the dark blandness and boring acting from the first one. Not to say it's a good movie, it's just a movie about a bunch of giant monsters fighting, but it's definitely not so dumb it's Pacific Rim, and it's not so dull it's the first movie again. The only problem I can say about it is the cheap writing and the rushed pace, where the movie really makes it clear it's trying to build this cinematic universe while already having a ton of stuff happening at the same time on the same scene. Other than that, it's really not a bad movie. Just ok.

+chiefmegadeth Exactly.

That's not really saying they are wrong, their review is basically just looking at their point of view and how they saw the film.

Hopping on the Alita bandwagon with you, another complaint critics had was that it had the nerve to set itself up for a sequel. Meanwhile....they can't wait to see how The Last Jedi and Captain Marvel set themselves up for the inevitable conclusions to *their* respective sagas!

I loved both, honestly

I liked CM as well. But Alita was minimum equally as good as CM and for me personally it was even superior to Captain Marvel. What makes that case special is that both movies have a lot similarities in their premises and got treated very differently by the same critics. For example one critique just gave CM a 5 of 5 and Alita a 0. She didn´t even gave a single star for the CGI. Everything was terrible for her. You can´t shill more obvious than that. Alitas CGI was better than that of CM and in terms of Motion Capture pushed the technology ahead. Not even Thanos looked that good. And there quite a few of such reviews. At the beginning Alita had a decimating 39% at Rotten Tomatoes. Compare that to "The Wandering Earth" which got 76%. No way on earth if you are any objective, you give a movie such bad ratings which was done by some of the best minds in Hollywood. Some people commented it with: Cameron should throw the movie into the trash heap. Flat out disrespectful. If it were all for fun and bla I wouldn´t care less. But those critics cost film makers millions if they collectively shit on the same movie for no reason. If they had done the same with Avatar they might have buried it too.

Shouldn't your enjoyment go hand in hand with the quality of the film? Like i never heard of anyone enjoying a truly broken and unwatchable movie before

@@professordreadwin7959 Ever heard of The Room?

Korra Fan I enjoy the most of Transformers movies (except for Revenge of The Fallen and The Last Knight) even though the Michal Bay ones are brainless action flicks, the 1986 one being a bit dated and cheesy, And Predacon’s Rising only aiming at fans who have seen Transformers:Prime, and acknowledge most of those movies are not very good, but I don’t enjoy The Godfather and Godfather 2, How To Train Your Dragon, Green Mile And Wonder despite knowing and seeing that these movies are good, sometimes people would rather watch something cheesy or brainless over something that they really have to think about

Mim Silvernote How could you not enjoy the Green Mile? That film is a crowd pleaser with great acting and an interesting story. The Godfather films are good from all aspects of movie making. You can enjoy the Transformers movies, but they are definitely not good films. I didn’t enjoy How To Train Your Dragon that much either, but I can acknowledge that it’s a good movie. Enjoyment and quality are not the same.

Glimmer Tron Taxi Driver isn’t necessarily an enjoyable movie, but it’s a great film. This works the other way around too. Someone could enjoy Space Jam, but it’s a poor movie that is essentially a 90 minute commercial with Looney Tunes characters and celebrity cameos. Enjoyment and movie quality don’t always go hand in hand.

Critic: Spider-Verse is an experiment, not an actual film.

We are the few people that love watching movies nonstop. Never stop what you like.

To some degree, I wonder if critics and review systems have trained this generation to actively seek out problems with media. Like, it's good to refine your taste, but sometimes I think people unintentionally deny themselves enjoyment for the sake of having the "correct, educated opinion". I know I do that. I'm learning to put more focus on finding what _does_ work about a movie, and I've been enjoying things a lot more. :)

What about Nostalgia critic or Angry Joe?

+Carl Bloke same logic applies

Can't trust someone that, on his right mind, believes on Anita Sarkeesian, so AJ is way out of the question. NC is so driven by nostalgia (who'd have thought of that one lol) that obviously is going to choose Reeve's superman before Man of steel or Burton's batman before Nolan's. I actually see him for his rants on shit I don't like either, but when something's new, no jugdment is better than your own.

metalliclark86 do you even watch either of them? Angry Joe doesn't think Anita a crazy SJW is right. And just because he's the Nostalgia Critic doesn't mean he is ignorant on modern day movies. You should probably take into account his reasons for the depiction of superman. He still has more professional judgment on modern movies since he's an expert and knowledgeable on modern movies same as classic movies 

I used to get into AJ videos until I stumbled on that one where he actually says that anita is right about her tropes vs women bullshit (can't remember which one nor I care). regarding NC, I've already said I watch him for his entertainment value. And Devil Boner. Never forget Devil Boner. But he did chose Reeve's superman and Burton's batman, among others that can't remember, but if there's any numbers I'm sure they back it up. What's wrong about making my own mind about things? Is people THAT fearful/lazy nowadays?

Critics often can't recognise a masterpiece when it first comes out. Bambi was in a similar situation when it was released. And they also sometimes praise movies that will be seen as trash later, such as The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. It just goes to show that most critics aren't as intelligent or insightful as they pretend to be. I've got nothing against Doug - he's provided me with food for thought over the years in his editorials, especially the So Good It's Bad and Eyes Wide Shut ones, and when he's being himself he doesn't come across as a pretentious douchebag but a humble and likeable guy - but he's an exception, not the norm. And even he screws up sometimes (like when he said The Force Awakens is good).

Robert Moore Casablanca also got mixed reviews.

Patrick Shields Because...?

Were you a kid when you first watched them? I find that the people who enjoy the prequels view them as they did as children.

We can can like movies that we recognise as bad, personnaly i like the prequels despite that they're bad movies, the problem is that some don't make the difference between liking and finding good a movie and therefore pretend that these movies are good without solid arguments to back their claim.

The star wars: the phantom menace movie was way better than the last Jedi. Seeing the upcoming star wars movies made me appreciate the prequels. Episode 1-6 were gold step by step character development and Dept which Disney would allow George Lucas to show his vision of star wars in upcoming movies rather than recycling the previous movies. Such a shame.

@@chiyaan83 Gold step by step character development ? Obi-wan got none, Anakin was rushed, the jedis are morons... Dept ? The political aspect is so bad that we don't even know the motives of the CSI, they could be the good guys and we wouldn't know, on fact there is a theory that they are the good guys but got hijacked by Dooku and the others. Lucas' vision ? Star wars original trilogy was NOT made by one man but by a group of talented people including Marcia Lucas (the one that got the idea of killing obi-wan), Irvin Kirshner (director of episode V) and many other's Recycling : The idea of introducing a cycle was Lucas' one, not disney (it's very obvious in the phantom menace, even more than in force awakens), and Lucas made the prequels recycling the ideas his friends told him NOT to use in the original trilogy, while Disney used elements from the original version of Return of the jedi, the version that Lucas butchered by making things like not kiling Han solo to continue to sell his toy (no kidding, it's the real reason). When Lucas made the prequels he was no more an imaginative artist, he was the leader of a big merchandising company, he became exactly what he hated, it's very tragic.

Same here, I love episode 3 so much.

opnions

SpaceBalls is a funny film, no doubt, but what happened was the film came out years after the last Star Wars film (Return of the Jedi), so the effect of the film was severely undermined.

@Redha Delf Spaceballs isn’t even a good film. It contains cheap, lowbrow humor, bad puns, and half-assed references to every popular sci-fi and action film of the zeitgeist. All I can praise the film for is the use of special effects, because the same effects team that worked in Spaceballs worked on Star Wars. If you want a sci-fi comedy, go watch Galaxy Quest.

All that means is 54% of critics liked it

54% is definitly not enough for that masterpiece of a movie. Maybe I´m based because I hate Star Wars, but who cares.

No, it's not merely subjective opinions. Some critically-acclaimed movies are genuinely bad.

+Kommentor Postker of course there are. But the core of a guilty pleasure film is acknowledging the fact that it's bad, but enjoying it anyway. I love Burlesque. It's a guilty pleasure. It's terrible, thus the guilt, but I enjoy it anyway.

+Kommentor Postker It would only be a "guilty pleasure" if you honestly believe it's objectively bad and that you should feel bad for enjoying it anyway. But as long as it makes you happy, it doesn't really matter what other people think of it, and anyone who's going to judge you based solely on your opinions is not worth considering. So there's no reason to really feel guilty about it.

+Kommentor Postker Next time someone asks you to "turn your brain off," ask them to turn theirs back on :B1:

Meh.

Mirth Mouser And Michael Bay, Tyler Perry and Uwe Boll. One of the many reasons why I despise those 3 “filmmakers”. Oh, and Shyamalan, too.

Mirth Mouser Critics are actually right a lot of the time, but when they are wrong, they can get it very wrong on occasion (e.g. Ghostbusters 2016 and Piranha 3D)

I remember Nostalgia Critic noted something similar in when is a movie so bad it's good. Films like Plan 9 from outer space and the Room are bad movies but they're made with a lot of effort by amateurs which can make them more endearing than big studio films that are being designed to win oscars.

Zak Playk that movie was trash tho and it’s prolly 80 cause hardly anyone saw it it made like 1m first weekend

@@camraging641 Well, it was at 80% in the first few months. Now it's at 66%. But that's still way too high for a movie that also has 0%. Usually, when critics give it a 10% or less, audiences give it a 50% or less, but not this time apparently.

Camraging Reverse review bombing

Actually, the audience score is 46%.

Zak Playk That’s why I don’t trust audiences either, they think The Last Jedi (which wasn’t my favorite movie either), is worse than a legitimate real dumpster fire of cinema. And they also gave Uncut Gems 52%. Put simply, audiences suck.

i really want to watch them

So did I. I heard they're making a third one. Can't wait!

I hated the second one

The first one's gold, the sequel... not so much

Oh Jay I thought the 2nd one was shit

Agreed. Though I sorta think it was more like.. You're supposed to hate it.. like Adam Sandler Comedies.. Video Game Movies have had a bad track record.. however I was awestruck when I heard some critics said that the movie should've been handed to Uwe Boll to make it even worse. And.. any fans of the Nostalgia Critic will know how bad Uwe Boll's movies are.

I agree, but I read one review by a critic: James Berardinelli ReelViews June 12, 2016 Large scale battles and magical pyrotechnics are nice supplements but the absence of well-formed characters and a meaningful narrative render such pretty things moot. That isn't how you use moot. Moot simply means that something is infinitely debatable and thus should not be debated, as it will waste time. Plus if you go to their website, even for the more reputable sites, they are all peddling a fucking book.

I saw someone from Egbert.com I dunno if I got the web address right.. but someone from there gave the movie a 0.5/4. Look I know the movie isn't perfect, and has some scenes that make you go "Really? They put that in there?" but 0.5/4 that's a bit harsh.

As someone who has never played a Warcraft game and judging the film on its merits, I thought it was okay. I don't think it's as bad as critics make it out to be, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't have problems. The effects, action scenes, and the conflict are pretty good. However, the editing can seem really off like some scenes are missing and I found most of the characters boring, which prevent me from liking it more.

As someone who's familiar with the Lore. I can tell you guys who aren't in the know this.. It is not the same as it is in the game, there are several liberties they've taken.. like Lothar in the original lore doesn't have son, they added that in just to make it a bit more PG-13 than an R film.

Firepopcorn 123 Yeah they probably felt that it would be too hard for new fans to get into Marvel when watching the film, but that’s the whole point of the MCU, you have to start with Iron Man and watch the 20 or so movies that follow before watching Infinity War.

Isabella Nash that is kinda a cheap move. People don’t have to do anything. When a kid goes in theatres and watches a movie because he sees the hulk is in it or Spider-Man, he goes and watches it as a casual fan. He is new and doesn’t understand the plot and what is going on and who those heroes are. Why are they fighting, who is Thanos, what are those Stones?. Which makes the causal fan a fanboy, leading him to buy all their movies and merchandise, Meaning more money to Marvel. Critics are right to complain about that. I feel the same when I start a new show. That is why I am careful when I start a new serie. I get addicted and feel forced to watch all episodes in order to catch on, which is time consuming and not very satisfying.

Alphaplayer 1722 so what is your solution to this

Lilstrangeo maybe a bit more exposition? For the kids ofcourse. Marvel movies are made for kids, but are also enjoyable by adults. The casual fan shouldn’t feel the need to catch on. Just let Thanos explain in the beginning what he plans to do, and during the rest of the movie let him explain to every hero he encounters to make them understand- or let them die opposing him.

But I mean considering how much money it made and the incredible reception by audiences, I doubt the Russos are losing sleep over a couple people not liking the movie.

+Abhi Rao more power to you, brah

+Abhi Rao Same here

Can some explain why Marvel movies considered formulaic by DC fans? What's the formula?

UnpredictableSB They're about as formulaic as DC films can be. Apparently DC fans think Marvel films are fluffy and kid-friendly and DC is gritty and mature.

It's not a perfect movie, but it's really not as a bad most make it out to be. Sci generic blockbuster at the end for sure, but I'm a Superman fan and I enjoyed it!

WOW HOW EDGY BRO!

did i ask for your sarcasm?

3edgy5 me

***** XD i can't even be mad at that.

Thomas Hall Bruh you haven't even hit puberty yet gtfo of youtube

I love this perspective. Too many people see disagreements as reasons to get legitimately angry, when it should be looked at as an opportunity to share and learn! :D

Because it’s not perfect like The Empire Strikes Back, so it automatically bad, which btw I thought was ironically boring and underwhelming.

Androo Gnoix Did you just call the Empire Strikes Back boring? How dare you, that movie is a masterpiece.

Androo Gnoix Empire Strikes back is great, that movie deserves all the acclaim it gets.

Let's see... the overused of CGI Anakin's bad actors the political talks midichlorians the dull villains Jar Jar Binks the unnecessary additions of older characters plot holes characters with rediculous accents and bad lip syncing here is a nice video that explains most of these things: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/brWPnbqAq8u8Zok.html&ab_channel=FanboyFlicks

+LilKenGaming same

+LukaANDkrusty That's because now they actually know what a bad Star Wars film looks like.

+Max Nobel Ya people are too hard on the phantom menace, the lightsaber fights and podracing were some of the most enjoyable scenes in all 7 movies now, unfortunately there were gungans (yikes), and not great connection of the story

+LilKenGaming yeah

+Max Nobel That's your opinion, but unfortunately it's totally wrong, the prequels were hot dog shit made by a senile old man with WAY too much power.

I see I'm not the only one looking back at this video considering how things are now.

That is NOT what happened. At all.

The Joe Cool same

Who doesn't

Conglaterdation.

So like 20% of movies

Gamer-Grape 5% tops I would say

Mark Bird He also hated Die Hard and Gladiator, when the majority of people love them and consider these good films. I can’t believe he could hate the first two Home Alones, but think the third one was good. Home Alone 3 was a terrible movie.

Key word is "sometimes" but yeah, good point! ;)

TheDeathmail Don't worry. Even if you take the CGI out of the equation the prequels were still bad.

Tantalized_Funyons Not overly bad. in fact, they were decent movies (though flawed, but which movies don't have some). Though some of the acting sucked (but hey, almost everyone sucked for the acting). It's just that... it was Star Wars and all the flaws were more noticeable. And the fact that while it had amazing stuff (and for the time, the effects were amazing), the movies people were supposed to love were just... good... And people just hated JarJar that much... (Though I loved Revenge of the Sith. In my opinion, it was the best one of all 6).

TheDeathmail I've been in too many of these debates to say that it works both ways...a lot of people also praise the prequels and notice good stuff about them that otherwise wouldn't be noticed "because its starwars!" Granted I don't really like these movies, but I still can agree the hate can be a tad bit overbearing at times. As someone who has a bit of experience with BOTH extreme opinions...I sometimes wonder why Star Wars fans don't just get along more lol.

Alienrun They don't get along more cause people seem to like hating on things they dislike rather than move on...

***** See this is the problem. Right here. I'm not going to use star wars as I'm not a fan but, If that movie has legitimate issues, and you're just ignoring them then you're at fault and being ignorant and bias. It should be, its a flawed movie that I greatly enjoyed. "Opinion" is something people now hide behind so they don't have to acknowledge flaws. Opinion is fine to like something, but not to blindly ignore any wrong doing something has.

I really liked Batman v Superman. Was it a bad movie? No I wouldn't call it a bad movie. Was it a great movie? No it was a slightly above average movie. It got better and better for me after seeing it 4 times. I wonder if it would get a higher percentage if all the critics went back and rewatched it. People that seem to despite it come off as one note people "If you like dark wooden joyless movies" Sometimes I do. Tim Burden was a master @ making Joyless movies fun.

+ZR J-Ro lmao above average? With all those plot holes? This is the problem right here.

+Lobo's Top 5 the problem is morons like you that think entertainment or art can be looked at objectively

drag00n365 Problem is tools like you that refuse to admit something has problems simply because you like it.

Critics are dead

white geek comedy road Why are you spamming that? You said the same thing on my comment

+Barry Gormley and hate what you hate.

Fuck off with that neutral on the fence with no real opinion just to make yourself look like a fair guy on the internet for likes BULLSHIT!

+JustPassingBy How is liking what you like "neutral"?

Barry Gormley In terms of the video's topic that is shown above, that's a neutral statement.

The opposite happened to the Phantom Menace

The Thing had the bad luck of coming our right after 'ET' Yeah, imagine coming from that alien story to 'The Thing'

EXACTLY.

0_0

+Gandhi gee that's kinda harsh coming from you Gandhi

Hotel Transylvania movies are pretty good.

+Soap Sud Gaming | CS:GO and MORE I liked the old Sandler movies. . . when I was a kid.

Waterboy was pretty good because his "Backwoods Hick" persona works perfectly. His problem is that he uses that same persona in movies that don't need it.

+Samurai Echidna So.... Jeremy Jahns, Chris Stuckmann and the Schmoes?

Ben Wasserman No idea who those people are. But I do tend to agree with most things that Andre "Black Nerd" has to say about stuff. :)

Samurai Echidna Check them out

These editorials are so much more entertaining and informative than the majority of his reviews

I'm not trying to judge you at all, but I'm curious. What do you like about it?

@@thisaccountisembarrassingi4429 Well, I watched it when I was younger so it is nostalgic. Plus my family quotes it all the time because it has a lot of good jokes and scenes. Example: I think that the cupcake scene is hilarious. It is a really imaginative movie.

@@fluffsnowball8557 Ah, I get that. Thanks for explaining!

Those are some nice shoes

The gaming corner I wish I had shoes like that

Run Forrest Run

well, in a box of chocolates you get chocolates.

Dude most of them come with a sheet of paper that says all the flavors and which ones they are

+Iron2Man911 That's a net zero. There was so much bad stuff, that it made watching it for the good parts pointless. I don't want to watch something that feels like a chore, just to see one or two cool moments. They should have went all in on making it kid friendly, or making it more serious, All those "bad parts" would have fit in a less serious movie, and fit the character designs much better.

+Iron2Man911 Darth Maul's lightsaber had more character than he did. He was a zero-effort villian who barely served any purpose in the story, and the potential he had to be an enemy who haunts obi-wan in the consecutive films was wasted by killing him. Although it's not Ewan McGregor's fault, Obi-Wan's character in Phantom Menace was entirely devoid of emotion, barely does anything to contribute to the story, and his actions don't even make sense. Obi-Wan, the pupil, is constantly pushing for caution and moderation, while Qui-Gon, the supposed wise master, acts on whims, tricks and cheats people out of their property, and generally makes brash decisions not fitting of the role his character was supposed to fill. The phantom menace had good visual design - that's it. On every other level it is fundamentally broken.

+Jonathan Odne Here's more of my argument (that I couldn't post because it was too long; not all) On top of that, the movie just feel much more fast paced to me: they land on Naboo, fly off to Tattooine, stay there for a while, go to Corascant, back to Naboo, movie ends. A lot of the scenes are long, sure, but the majority of the movie is spent with our characters just trying to get to ONE particular location but can't because they encountered an obstacle and had to work to overcome it. The dialogue is bad, some of the acting is horrendous, and the abundant CGI looks dated to our modern eyes, but ultimatley PM is the fastest moving prequel with enough cool stuff, AS EQUALLY GOOD, as the bad is bad, and that's why it's my favourite. Attack of the Clones slowed down too much in the filler between the action scenes, and gave me too much cringy dialogue between Anakin and Padme to justify waiting that long for the fight between Obi-Wan and Jango Fett on Kamino, or in the asteroid field.

+Iron2Man911 Apparently, I can't spell (top line: feels).

+Iron2Man911 it wasn't that bad of a film as it was a complete disappointment when compared to the original trilogy don't get me wrong though I still thought it was pretty bad but that's because I read the original books by RA Salvator the first book had so much potential by cutting out a shit ton of content and adding a slapstick character who was never even in the original story.

GrandMaster Kaiju But they’re not wrong though.

Critics said that the characters and story sucked most Godzilla movies have crappy characters and stories but people watch Godzilla movies for Godzilla and monsters

Dylan Blurton Yeah, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that the characters and the story sucked.

Still don't understand why critics hate the Characters.

As much as I like Force Awakens, even I will admit that's pretty dumb. Besides, King of the Monsters was so much cooler in my opinion.

Finally someone else noticed! On another note why did critics think there was too much human drama In the 2014 godzilla film and didn't like the 2019 godzilla film because it had TOO MUCH monster action is beyond, BEYOND basically anyone.

Jacob Odom Because the Force Awakens is a good, well-made movie and Godzilla isn’t

both

And more

+mdyiya Nop, don't need it. Love it

I hated Ryan The Pirate

The film can get rather sentimental and sappy. That being said, from a technical standpoint it's incredible. The battle scenes are mesmerizing at times, it's the stuff in between that's the problem.

American Beauty is corny? Wtf is that?!! A few scenes, I guess, but it's still a masterpiece. It didn't win 5 oscars for nothing.

Yeah, how dare a movie has a heart.

+The White Mage Well no shit. Nobody likes pirates, man. Greedy douchebags. Privates, however, are another story.
