Ok I'm just gonna say it...
Just because you and rt resent seeing the film doesn't mean that others will! People really oughta give it a chance...and by 'talking them out of it til you're blue in the face' you are just giving them a bad taste so if and when they go and see it - they WON'T like it...IMO until you see the film you cannot judge! Everyone should develop their own opinion instead of being sheep....once they do that if they still don't like it then thats great! Good for them...but I have little respect for people that judge before actually seeing! Its no different then Bill O'Reilly and all those people that judged BBM without even seeing it!
Ok there's my 25 cents and I mean no disrespect to anyone....JMO!
Chris, it's okay to have an opinion here without softening it by doing the IMO thing -- we all are adult enough to correspond without wearing kid gloves.
But the question is, why are you so bent on defending this film? And if you are, then just go ahead and support why it's good. I am a film critic and people here contantly ask for my opinion on movies, which I treasure being able to offer to people even though again, it's just my take and why I start these threads. People aren't sheep when the listen to critics --- they are informed. And I have a passion in me for films, actors and the like, so it's important to me and not just "entertainment" and "box office."
And all this trying to defend a piece of sub-par moviemaking by relying on box office totals just doesn't wash with me.... sorry.
Bill O' Reilly? You're really making a reach there, bud.
