I really dislike when opinions on films that are viewed primarily negatively are dismissed as trendy. It?s just juvenile and opinionated. Because there?s a majority of hatred doesn?t make it mindless, overly-critical, or some sort of fad at all. Instead?here?s a shocking revelation?maybe most people just genuinely think the film is crap. Now there?s an idea! The amount of denial here is?staggering?especially coming from so-called mature adults. In the end, is anyone?s opinion of any film, except your very own, ultimately relevant? Who cares if the entire world hates Crystal Skull? If it was your cup of tea, more power to you! Have a little self confidence. The fact of the matter is that this is an Indiana Jones website. This is the target audience and one might say that this is the one and only place where you?ll find bias opinions on the film, where Indiana Jones will be avidly defended without so much as an original thought. So no, I don?t see a trend, I see denial.
You always were the mature one, Vile! The fact of the matter is that everyone critiques everything on a daily basis. You critique the food you eat, the clothing you decide to wear, the books you read, the films you watch, the roads you take, etc. No one likes every film they've seen, why should they be viewed negatively for something they technically cannot control? Personal taste just...well...is. The difference is that critics do this publically, and why shouldn't they? Why should someone feel bad about how they feel on a certain subject? Do you love cars, sports, gardening, video gaming, guns, politics, chicken salad, and long walks on the beach? I doubt you enjoy them all, why shouldn't you be allowed to say it and the reasons why? So long as it's not a personal attack on those that you don't agree with, speak all you like! Again, how is this somehow a bad thing? It takes a certain amount of courage to face the juvenilely opinioned peoples that crawl out from under their rock and sometimes make personal and hurtful judgments (much like you?re doing) based upon a difference of opinion. I have a great deal more admiration for those that judge films instead of those who judge people based off of their opinions on trivial entertainment. Films don?t have feelings! If you're going to play the insult game, I'll give you an example of my harsh inside feelings on your side of things just to show you how ridiculous you sound; The fact of the matter is that I have more respect for critics then I?ll ever have for dronish defenders that live in their mothers basements, bowing down to their shrines of their Geek Gods like Lucas and Spielberg, pledging their lives to defending their work in between delivering their pizzas. They have the courage to be themselves, not tools of a fanboy. That speaks volumes.
