Is he actually disliking it for good and/or valid reasons and fanboys are just raging, or is it a shitty review?Quote:

I don't think it's particularly objectionable (especially from the POV of not having seen the film, which applies to 98%+ of the commentators), but we're talking about the internet here.
People don't like the same things I like FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
I only skimmed it because I've been doing pretty good about media blackout so far, but I don't see any real issues with it. He doesn't even seem so much like he hates it as he does that he feels it had potential to go somewhere interesting (and sometimes briefly does) but instead just focuses on having comic book fights over actual drama.
I mean, for people besides movie reviewers I would question why they went to a comic book movie if they didn't want comic book characters being comic book-y, but he is doing his job.
Because that's just about all we got. I'm not sure if you've realized this, but a lot of comic book movies are coming out and they suck up most of the oxygen in the room. I think non-comic book fans (like myself) were hoping the movies were going to go beyond what the nerds want, but that's clearly not going to happen.Quote:

It's just that now almost all the action fluff stuff is coming from one source.
Though I can see the "OMG OSCAR" people about this grating on nerves. I enjoy some of these movies a lot, but c'mon.
My interest was piqued a week ago. Then, I read the spoilers and now through various confirmations ... the twist sucks and there are two.
I'll wait for netflix.
These movies are bad.
The place we are seeing it at midnight on Thursday, ArcLight in Hollywood, has 17 showings that night.. and the few I randomly checked were 90-05% full.
I'm calling it: this will destroy almost every box office record, including Avatar's all time domestic gross. The only thing it will have a difficult time beating is Avatar's all time worldwide gross, but I'm sure it'll put up a fight.
