I could've told you it was shit walking out of that theater.
Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool was the only good part, and that was only good for the first 1/3 of the movie.
My favorite part is when they bust out the adamantium bullets 5 minutes after the super sniper asian leaves. He couldn't have used those at all!
It's sweet how obsessed you seem to be with my movie reviews. In contrast, if you stated your opinion on, well, pretty much anything, I wouldn't remember, nor would I bother looking it up.Quote:

I remembered this one because (at the time) i thought you were a reasonable person and up to that point thought you credible even when i disagreed with your opinion. With the above statements, all that went out the window. It became clear how useless you are.
You sure seem to remember how obsessed i am with your reviews, probably because of all the one or two times ive brought them up in the ten years we have been on this board. Nice deflection though!
Does this mean you won't buy me lunch again? Oh, well.
Of course i would. One thing has nothing to do with the other!
Awesome! And don't worry, I promise never to change my mind about anything ever again.
See you at Peter Luger's.
It brings up an interesting point though. I, as everyone, have certainly changed my mind about things as time goes on. But it seems like if you're paid to give a review, it should be binding. Especially in games where a developer can lose money based on the aggregate review score.
Do people like Roger Ebert ever go back and say. "Hey, I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote/said that. As it turns out that movie was great/terrible after all. I was completely wrong!"
Maybe this should spin into it's own thread?
It all comes down to Jackman wanting to make a movie for his kids... so that's (part of the reason) why the game was so much better than the movie.
No, it shouldn't. Your job is to write an article based on your initial reaction to watching a film. That's it. But if my opinion later changes, I do mention it in the current article I'm writing if it has bearing. But I almost always stick by my reviews...not sure why your ovaries are bleeding just because I flip-flopped on one movie (especially THIS movie).Quote:

Sure they do. Ebert (and practically every other film critic ever) has publicly changed his mind on major movies- for example, Unforgiven (Ebert gave it an average review, later added it to his list of "great films") and his initially positive review for Waiting for Superman: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/ans...cinds-pos.htmlQuote:

Actually...I don't do recommendations. I tell the customer that everything is subjective and even though I liked a game, you may not. I then tell them if something catches their eye, I am more than happy to give them a general consensus of what other people have said.
