AICN states they will only post "negative" fan reviews of X3.

I think if nothing else the past 24 hours have revealed what a sloppy, lazy site AICN really is.
 
also guys my review has been removed but the talk bak is still active thru a direct link not the home page...it looks like harry and moriarity or w/e his name is covered this all up =(
 
Is it just me, or if AICN isn't posting positive reviews unless from a credible source, shouldn't they do the same with NEGATIVE reviews?
 
that was the point i was trying to make...if they had any balls theyd admit it but hey harry knowles sat on his a long time ago so w/e but now i hope if anyone likes aicn they know now wat useless negative basterds they r=)

X3 rocks?!?!?! Sadly in the mind of a misguided fan that wants it to be!

Hey folks, Harry here... Moriarty and I had read this review and felt that there was better than even odds that this was an earnest review from a fan, but it wasn't jiving, sadly, with what we had heard of the quality. SO - in our own excitement over the chance that we MAY be wrong about X3... we printed it. TURNS out that the review was created by some misguided whiney fanboy that just wanted us to shut up with the negativity in regards to the film. Frankly - right now I'm really depressed - because what this review did was give false hope. And it flushed out someone that had seen the film that thought it was a waste and mediocre. What this means is - AICN will have to not run any positive reviews of X3 unless they come from established sources. This is sad. I really want X3 to be good. Now we'll just have to wait and see. It wasn't written by a studio plant - which at least is a sign that the studio doesn't feel the need to plant reviews online yet. But discount the following. Sadly.

Very odd behaviour.I've never seen anything like this really.:confused: :confused:
 
Harry is shyt. I just don't see why this man has an ounce or credibility? How stupid of him to say he won't post positive reviews unless he can verify them, but he'd flood the site with negative ones? So I guess the negative reviews are credible? To hell with harry.

No problem. The doubt, which did seem very damning to you when it arose, came from your saying the scene where Logan gets spiked in the stomach comes before the scene where Magneto tosses him through the woods, and in the latter scene he clearly has no damage to his shirt. But we've seen another clip since that shows the fight does happen as you described.

Considering the state of his shirt after the fall the fight has to come before that, so the only question remaining now is do they explain how the damage to Logan's shirt from that fight is repaired when he faces Magneto, or is this just a continuity error?
 
watch the clip of cyclops in it, double it, and thats how much we'll see him in x3
 
harry says in that 'going to the theatre to see it and hope for the best'

And the world waits for his opinion. NOT.
 
Crazily I think the chase and fight scene with the guy who throws stakes at wolverine is BEFORE the Magneto confrontation. Guess the continuity guy had a day off!
 
Guys did we get the word on what the SHH writer had to say about the movie? Sorry but I just can't find it anywhere.
 
ok, so what basically happened was that jokernick submitted a review to Harry of AICN who in returned posted it on the site.By failing to verify the source, Harry has incurred one error that may damage his credibility as an on-line movie critic. However, the way I see it, Harry's negligence was brought upon his own excitement to disprove his own claim of the film's mediocrity. So I don't think Harry really hated xmen. He is just like some of us here who wished that xmen be the badass flick this fake review had claimed to be. The only difference is that he owned a site visited by many.

Your'e nearly there but there has been stuff going on since. After Joker's prank Harry posted he wouldn't print any positive reviews without verification of the source, clearly indicating negative ones wouldn't be given that same scrutiny, and went on to prove this is by printing a negative one without any verification.
That was also proved a fake and he deleted it...BUT...Unlike Joker's, which is still shown and labelled now as a 'misguided fanboy's prank with the aforementioned 'no positives without confirmation' still in place, no such amendment or change in position regarding negative reviews has been given. He just deleted the second one he got fooled by, like it never existed.

Bottom line, he got owned not once but twice but is too stubborn to admit it. Wether he is still gonna print negative reviews whatever the source remains to be seen.
 
he shouldnt print positive or negative, unless theyre verified

Alright so what has been proven is his stupidity to be fooled twice and now his posting this message that is a clear admittance of his being bias towards the movie. How old is he anyway?
 
Have the direct links from the new Yahoo! clips come online yet?
