Lounge of Justice - - - - Part 13

The worst thing that happened to legit film criticism is when they let the fanboys in. There's a guy literally *****ing about a film made 25 years later not being enough like some poorly budgeted show from the 90's.

My God. Fire these people... just fire them. They have no business critiquing film. I don't give a rat's infected ass about Power Rangers, but if were paid to critique that movie I'd do so based on the film right in front of me and not a TV show from back when I still had cartoon characters on my underwear.

True that. When you are removed from all the drama, it is entertaining though watching everyone losing their minds.

Edit: I always thought Power Rangers were too hokey even for kid me. I just came across Scott Mendelson's review(I like that guy, really funny and insightful and stays away from bias) on twitter, and he described it as a Begins style reboot for PR.

I'll not lie. That does sound interesting. I'll probably watch the movie once it is released digitally. Some of my friends are really interested for this, and I'll take it from them.

Yeah, but it's not fair to the people that worked on that movie. It may very well be garbage, but not because it doesn't have a guy dressed as robot falling over plastic toy buildings. LAWD.

Absolutely. Then its not news to me that modern film criticism sucks(generalising here). Like you said, its not fair to the filmmakers at all.

Did they not get paid for their work? Are they paid on each positive review?

That's not my point. My point is that their movie should be judged for it's choices and not for how different or similar it is from it's nostalgia invoking predecessors.

It's a mentality that praises unoriginality and rewards complacency.

Anyone here saw Chappie?

A guy I know wrote a review of it and that's all of it - "how much do I have to pay someone to kill the director?" and gave it half out of 5 stars

[Blitzkrieg]

Ok, guys. I'll have dinner in about 22 mins from now. So, I'm seriously going full panic mode in here. I'm sensing something awesome and fearing the worst at the same time and it's about Justice League. Roach.... why did you hafta do this??

 

[idiot09]

Okay. Calm down idiot. Its not about JL. Dont get worked up over nothing.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

If Roach doesnt deliver, I petition for him having "FALSE GOD" tatooed on his forehead.

I liked Chappie. Did things I don't normally expect from the scifi genre even though plot-wise it's fairly derivative.

 

[roach]
