I'd be willing to bet that most people who bash critics don't understand that there is more to film than just an opinion of if it entertains you or not. If an english teacher grades a critical thinking piece they don't just base a grade on their enjoyment while reading it. They look at content, grammar, spelling, creativity and thought, structure, cohesiveness, etc., etc. It's not much different for a critic but they get bashed for doing their job and sharing their opinion of a work.

Bingo. Even I, someone who DID like this movie, can point out, the characters werent that great, the story was a bit muddled, and the plot had issues. But I got what I wanted out of it, so it worked for me.

The trailer makes the movie look good.
But my instincts say it's crap. The kotaku review agrees with my instincts, and answered the only REAL question i had about the movie's "story" if it can be called that.
give it a read if you like. oh, and it does, indeed have a few spoilers.

This is the point i think some people are missing. All indicators are leaning towards the movie being a steaming pile of doggie-poop. But it's ok. You can like bad movies, but that doesn't make them good cinema.

^ I dont think anyone ever suggested this was good cinema.
It was just a cool flick, with an interesting moral theme. That's it.

Some how I knew you'd quote me Josh.
I was partly joking but The Spirit comes to mind as well as Clash of the Titans, and not to mention Origins which you did.
Some could make a case for the Watchmen as well or Superman Returns for that matter.
PotC 4 isnt looking promising either...
Can you name a mainstream reviewer that has given the movie a positive review?
I'm hearing uniformly bad feedback, not 100% but nobody agrees on everything.
Hell, some people dont think planes were flown into the towers.
Of course. I love ya Spartan.
POTC4 looks pretty good to me.
No, I can't. However, I don't give a damn what a movie review thinks to be honest. I only care if I enjoyed it because I paid for my ticket.

HT is a reliable guage? Since when? I dig Wolverines Origin and there are plenty of people out there that hate that film.
Also how do you know its gonna suck? Cause you have a couple folks in here talking about how bad it is? I mean really.
Of course. I love ya Spartan.
Hmmm, yeah Ive felt that "love" verbalized in Gears when I get the grenades before you.

Your mind can set you freeeee!
Or that someone can come into your life, unexpectedly, and save you.
The ill Jedi
ILLest of 'em all!!
I agree 100%.
I just got back from watching Sucker Punch…I loved it!
The combination of all three realities made for a great fantasy film and a fun time at the movies!
The visuals were astonishing, the action sequences were fantastic and the underlying story line, although weak, was decent IMO.
One of my friends I went with didn't get the movie at all and my cousin came away with something completely different than I did.
In the end we all enjoyed it for one reason or another.
Everyone at rotten tomatoes can ____ off and suck it.
I felt the same way about it. Glad you liked it Snoop!

Its cause you don't share.
