Man, I honestly feel disgusted making this argument because it really over-simplifies why being a "crowd-pleaser" isn't an indication of quality, but...
McDonalds. Taco-Bell. Pizza Hut.
All INSANELY POPULAR and profitable businesses/brands, and all in no way, shape, form or fashion the bar at which you should settle for quality. If you like any of those places, great. I'm not a snob by any means, and if that's all you know (or have been exposed to), then no one should reasonably expect or be offended that you didn't care for Nightcrawler, or that Inside Out wasn't the number 1 movie last week (or that Fury Road wasn't basically the number 1 movie until Inside Out debuted) but, that being said, "it's popular so it must be good on some level" is an equally weak argument.
Slavery was popular for a very long time. As were the banning of mixed-race and same-gender marriages. What's popular isn't always an indicator of what is good (or just).
12 weeks in captivity: the story of Indominus Rex.
Leonardo DiCaprio has played a lot of rich guys.
Um.Rich WHITE guys.
Oh I'm mad? I'm not the one name calling.
But whatever people can choose to see what they want. And if people want to see turd on the screen then who's stopping them.
As far as comparing this to Terminator Genesys, well at least they didn't turn Terminator into an old Fembot with menopause, get Melissa McCarthy to play Kyle Reese and bore everyone with her tired as F- shtick and get some young Hollywood stud to be Sarah Conner and have the Fembot Terminators oogle him.
This is going to be worse than Terminator Genesys, on par with Sharknado, Uwe Boll, and Trank's Fantastic Four.
This is where the GHINO movie belongs
