they should just give separate critic scores based on gender and political leanings

why does amy nicholson paint her face like a sad clown?

Batman v Superman, obviously. The Theatrical cut was OK, but not that bad. Knives were out for that film.
Ultimate Cut is clearly the only way it should be watched

>>82529508
nah i wouldn't say critics were wrong... that was pretty meh and the audience rated it just a tad bit better than the critics

>>82529132
I'd love if a ratings site could give 2 scores to controversial films: the average positive score and the average negative score.

Lots of great films get shit ratings from ADD fags who think it's too long or don't get it, and lots of shit films get 10/10s from the same group. Also 10s and 1s should be omitted and anybody who only votes a 10 or a 1 should be gassed.

It's more like a 4/10.

>>82529132
should allow you to disregard critics. So then you can go through it and eliminate every critic that gave GirlBusters over a 7/10 score

would help in judging a new movie when the critics fit your tastes

>>82529056
I watched this on a plane. I didn't think it was terrible, but it wasn't a 6.5/10. It felt like a cheap Adam Sandler comedy

>>82529192
This.
The theatrical cut deserved quite a but if shit but the reaction after the Ultimate Edition was released was literally "Waaaa! I can't clap to this because it's different from what I expected!"

>>82529056
What I don't understand is how these critics don't understand they're delegitimizing the sociopolitical beliefs they're supposedly standing for by heaping praise on a craptastic movie like the Ghostbusters remake and declaring it to be the current high bar for female representation in film-making.

I mean, if you go around telling people that Ghostbusters 2016 is the zenith of what women are capable of in the film industry, and then people believe you and see the movie, doesn't that reinforce the idea that women are inherently bad at movies?

I thought that movie was pretty awesome visually and story-wise. Also I've never played Warcraft III or World of Warcraft and I found it somewhat easy to follow (except for some of the names of characters) I can't believe a lot of critics poo-pooed it, but I can understand how or why they would

>>82529972

When The Thing come out it was a flop and every cirtic hated it.

Carpenter was depressed as fuck about it.
and now it's considered a fucking cinematic masterpiece

>>82531780
This, Warcraft should be a solid 60-70%
I bet the critics just got triggered by something or didnt even care about the movie just give it bad score because "Video Games"

I used to listen to a podcast with her on.
She judges films on whether she empathises with the characters' feelings or not. Not on story, cinematography, tension/fun/ideas, or anything else, just feelings. She literally doesn't know why films with unsympathetic protagonists exist.

I just want to see him do cool shit, and most of the time, amoral shit. Hate those little scenes where he's a tough guy, but then he's nice to a kid or a homeless person to show he's not all bad.

>>82533840
Anyone who disliked Ghostbusters would've been castrated and sent to the salt mines, although BvS has all the makings of a cult classic as reception has justifiably gotten better over time

go to her blog
she has an entry defending being biased in favor of Marvel movies

>>82529056
Every single one should be fired.

>>82529132
they should separate critic scores based on IQ of the critic
and in an ideal world weighted by how much they made in bribe money

>>82529192
They were right about this. They were wrong about TFA and CW though.

>>82529056
most of these either mention
>it's good, so take that haterz
or
>the women are women funny in their women way

>>82533592
Both.

>>82529056
Ghostbusters doesn't count, they liked that one because it was cool to be pro womens power and stuff, not because they actually thought the movie was good.

>>82534235
yes
it doesn't matter though, both are retarded capeshit, yet somehow one is 1/10 and another is 10/10

>>82534340

tempting, hang on

This can be seen in general rhetoric nowadays, as well. You either love or hate something, you can't just like/dislike it. It's either the greatest thing ever or the worst shit you've ever witnessed. If you moderate yourself you get ignored; only the loudest screamers garner attention.

I mostly blame the media, who have more influence and power than ever before. Clickbaits and Buzzfeed shit is only one aspect, normal newspapers and so-called "legitimate" news sources are also clamouring for attention. This rhetoric perpetuates a society full of people believing that a statement has to be hyperbolic to be interesting. It dumbs down reviews and criticism into this black and white worldview on anything from movies to politics.

>>82534517
That's still being wrong, it's just they thought they were making a statement by being wrong

>>82530583
Critics cream their pants over musicals. I don't know why. Interrupting a story for musical numbers isn't "art," it's vaudeville horseshit.
