[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;50690438][/QUOTE] Firstly, do you actually have evidence that Sony have taken down reviews? I don't even see how such a thing could be possible. Secondly I don't see how that accounts for almost 80% of reviewers as of counting writing positive reviews. Also how is that any different to everyone here declaring the film would absolutely have to be terrible from the beginning? You can't accuse people of being not objective when you're doing the exact same thing from the other side of the fence. I'm not even that interested in seeing the film but it's insane just how much outrage and shit flinging is going on with this film which is turning out to be just a pretty average-decent film that people will forget about once the anger stops.
if you think this was going to get poor reviews from mainstream critics ESPECIALLY after how many of them were involved in the backlash against AVGN you're just naive, sorry they don't want to appear sexist and they don't want to appear like idiots for attacking a man for thinking it was bad, then it turns out bad
[QUOTE=Kite_shugo;50690480]oh god[/QUOTE] "Really do have teeth all up in there" How do you get a job being this weird
[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;50690482]Obviously it's just the SEXIST TROLLS sent by the patriarchy[/QUOTE] to be fair the non-user ratings are obviously mostly disingenuous when you're talking about the 10s and 1s. and you don't even have to see the movie to rate it. the user ratings are much more useful.
Don't ask for evidence when you actively ignore it
[QUOTE=TheJoey;50690471]also just a reminder that it's got a 3.8 out of 10 on IMDB: [url]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1289401/?ref_=nv_sr_1[/url] here are some user reviews: [url]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1289401/reviews?ref_=tt_urv[/url][/QUOTE] If we went by early IMDB user reviews Batman v Superman would be the finest film of our generation
[QUOTE=MisterMooth;50690489]but it's insane just how much outrage and shit flinging is going on with this film [/QUOTE] yeah it's weird how much shit james rolfe got from actual actors in the industry for saying that he wasn't interested in seeing the movie. like when patton oswald talked trash about james's wife for no reason other than because he didn't like james's opinion. that's the shit flinging you're talking about, right?
[QUOTE=MisterMooth;50690489]Firstly, do you actually have evidence that Sony have taken down reviews? I don't even see how such a thing could be possible. [/QUOTE] Could be. As far as im aware the review embargo only lifts on release day. They're allowing the current reviews to remain up because it does nothing to hurt them. Right now, anyway. [QUOTE=MisterMooth;50690489]Secondly I don't see how that accounts for almost 80% of reviewers as of counting writing positive reviews. Also how is that any different to everyone here declaring the film would absolutely have to be terrible from the beginning? You can't accuse people of being not objective when you're doing the exact same thing from the other side of the fence. [/QUOTE] 80% of 60 max reviewers. And their reviews read more like tumblr blogposts than actual professional articles by legitimate film critics. [QUOTE=MisterMooth;50690489]I'm not even that interested in seeing the film but it's insane just how much outrage and shit flinging is going on with this film which is turning out to be just a pretty average-decent film that people will forget about once the anger stops.[/QUOTE] Advice: maybe if you stopped drinking the kool-aid for a bit and did some research on this movie (go watch the Midnights Edge videos on it) you might understand why people are pretty opposed to this movie on moral grounds alone. Everything ive heard from people not instantly proclaiming "FUCK THE MISOGYNISTS/TROLLS/BAAAH BABYMEN HAHAHAHHAHA" is pretty damning of the film.
Let's not forget that for some reason Hollywood reporter is a delusion but buzzfeed and feminism sites arent somehow
[QUOTE=TheJoey;50690501]yeah it's weird how much shit james rolfe got from actual actors in the industry for saying that he wasn't interested in seeing the movie. like when patton oswald talked trash about james's wife for no reason other than because he didn't like james's opinion. that's the shit flinging you're talking about, right?[/QUOTE] do you honestly think that the shit flinging is only from one side? Im talking about the whole thing in general. Why am I being treated like I'm somehow on the other side of some black and white situation here? All I've really said that that all the drama over the film is ridiculous to me and that maybe the final product isn't actually the worst thing ever made. Why is that controversial?
Let's also not forget that just because critics gave a film a good review, doesn't mean a film is good. For instance, "The Witch". [url]https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_witch_2016/[/url]
[QUOTE=MisterMooth;50690495]If we went by early IMDB user reviews Batman v Superman would be the finest film of our generation[/QUOTE] ok??? like [b]fucking what[/b], dude??? did you come to this thread just to deflect every single thing we have to show you? what do you [b]want[/b]?
[QUOTE=MisterMooth;50690517]do you honestly think that the shit flinging is only from one side? Im talking about the whole thing in general. [/QUOTE] When the shit flinging looks like: [t]https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Hz_PHldS8zw/maxresdefault.jpg[/t] From both sides instead of just one, you might have a point. [QUOTE=MisterMooth;50690517]Why am I being treated like I'm somehow on the other side of some black and white situation here?

He's acting like he's on some "other side" making great arguments when he literally just came in and called everyone delusional twice
[QUOTE=TheJoey;50690501]yeah it's weird how much shit james rolfe got from actual actors in the industry for saying that he wasn't interested in seeing the movie. like when patton oswald talked trash about james's wife for no reason other than because he didn't like james's opinion. that's the shit flinging you're talking about, right?[/QUOTE] I thought that Patton did that because his wife had been working on Ghostbusters or something
Listen. MisterMooth. Alright, y'listenin? Okay good. Gonna give you a homework assignment, wont take more than an hour or so. Watch these videos, then get back to us.

Ok someones going to have to show me that his wife had something to do with it because I think you guys are misremembering a joke made after he attacked AVGN's wife, about Pat's wife having a cameo (she's dead)
[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;50690528]He's acting like he's on some "other side" making great arguments when he literally just came in and called everyone delusional twice[/QUOTE] sorry for having my own opinions I'll try to circle jerk harder next time for you
Your own opinion is that people who have theirs are delusional?
[QUOTE=MisterMooth;50690537]sorry for having my own opinions I'll try to circle jerk harder next time for you[/QUOTE] Ahem. [QUOTE=AaronM202;50690532]Listen. MisterMooth. Alright, y'listenin?

[QUOTE=Water-Marine;50690530]I thought that Patton did that because his wife had been working on Ghostbusters or something[/QUOTE] In hindsight, as a comedian, he really should've seen those coming. Terrible, but inevitable. And i still had a chuckle.
[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;50690542]Your own opinion is that people who have theirs are delusional?[/QUOTE] or that the whole drama is ridiculous and everyone is getting heated over nothing and nobody is being objective
He won't even read the thread and ignores the quoted info why do you think he's gonna watch these vids
[QUOTE=MisterMooth;50690517] Why is that controversial?[/QUOTE] the controversy is that actors are going onto talk shows to say that any negative feedback of the movie is misogyny and sexism and [url=http://www.businessinsider.com/melissa-mccarthy-responds-to-ghostbusters-hate-2016-6]45-year-old guys that live in a basement[/url]. it's full on damage control for a movie that touts "girl power" for no reason other than to gain more fucking money from braindead "progressive" people. it stands on the shoulders of a beloved franchise from the past and takes a shit all over it while paul feig shouts "LOOK HOW PROGRESSIVE IT IS!" what an insult to women. what an insult to actors from groups that aren't well represented in hollywood. what an insult to any man or woman who doesn't like the movie or has a different opinion and instead, no matter who they are, they're called a 45 year old man living in their mom's basement. i guess my girlfriend i live with in an apartment who thinks the trailers look like shit is a fat virgin nerd man who doesn't take the trash out. these are paid professionals saying this shit to defend their movie and people are eating it up. and you're sitting here going "uhhh it's no big deal" the fuck?

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;50690548]He won't even read the thread and ignores the quoted info why do you think he's gonna watch these vids[/QUOTE] Because theres some small part of me that thinks he might be a rational human being who's open to the idea that he's in the wrong or doesnt know the entirety of the situation and is willing to learn.
[QUOTE=MisterMooth;50690547]or that the whole drama is ridiculous and everyone is getting heated over nothing and nobody is being objective[/QUOTE] Are you really gonna pull out and pretend this is what you started with, or what you responded to? Are you the kind of person who shits in the urinal and then tells the principal we have a urinal shitting problem?
[QUOTE=MisterMooth;50690555]for someone who accused me of drinking koolaid don't you think this sounds a little like "here drink this other koolaid"[/QUOTE] Your kool-aid comes from people screaming at youtube comments, my kool-aid comes from leaked Sony E-mails. Your kool-aid tastes like shit btw. [editline]d[/editline] My kool-aid has ginger ale for that added kick, nigga.
[QUOTE=MisterMooth;50690555]for someone who accused me of drinking koolaid don't you think this sounds a little like "here drink this other koolaid"[/QUOTE] "Give me evidence" "Wow you guys are feeding me bullshit obviously"
mistermooth i cannot wait for you to see the scene in the movie where the ghost busters team get mad at internet [i]haterz[/i] talking shit about them shot before the internet controversy and reshot with new dialogue after the controversy occurred :) but yknow they didn't plan this or anything
