Yep. I can't say that I've ever trusted movie critics, some of my favorite movies got absolutely terrible reviews from critics. They're just a bunch of pretentious idiots who think that they are somehow more qualified to say if a movie is good or not than the average person just because they took a few film and/or writing classes in college, big whoop. Their Episode 8 scores ruined any credibility they once had in my eyes. |
For me too many of them take this shit too serious and look for things that are not there to try and sound like they invented the cure for cancer and that is the only valid opinion. It is just a movie. Not everything will be perfect. There is no need to over analyse everything in a movie just enjoy it for what it is.
On the flip side, I'll use the Joker as an example of over analyzing it.
If the movie wasn't called Joker, would it score so highly with regular viewers? Take that title away and all you see is a man with mental issues. Is that something that people would want to watch?
Now for me the biggest disappointment was if this movie is truly a one off as they said (and don't change mind to cash in on a sequel), it basically ended nowhere that ties it well to the other batman movies. How can you praise a movie like that which has no real tie in other than a name?
Now I could sit there and say the movie was so bad because of that flaw (my personal opinion) and hate on the movie, but overall when you don't over anaylse things, the movie was pretty good to watch irrespective of the title. It showed how years of mental fuckup can turn a regular man into snapping to be a deranged psychopath.
At the end of the day, everyone has an opinion like they do an arsehole. Some will love some will hate.
