It was meant for the folks that DID like the movie, who DISAGREED with what was perceived as the overly harsh mainstream critic response to the movie.

This is not to say that the critics were wrong. Or that folks who DONT like the movie are wrong. Or that TFW2005 supports ROTF as Gone With the Wind level cinema worthy of a sweep at the Oscars.

The folks that do agree with the critics, and don't like the movie, there are other threads on this forum that you can respond to, and are free to do so. That's just not the point of this particular thread.

During the early part of opening week, I felt there was an stronger than normal negativity floating around the movie by PROFESSIONALS, and wanted us, the fans, to respond. In a constructive, FUN manner.

So, I will give this one more shot. Ive deleted several hundred posts from this thread, leaving less than 25. Let's try to stay on target.

New Rules

You must quote a professional critic's original story.

You must reference 2 points in their story and explain why you feel they are wrong.

You may not comment on anyone's posts from this thread or forum inside this thread.

You may not respond to anyone who posts a review here. This thread is not for back and forth fan commentary on the movie or movie industry. It is meant to speak about particular critics and why you think they are wrong.

If you think they are right, stay out of this thread.

You may not call anyone anywhere a name.

It must be more than 3 sentences.


I apologize to everyone for not staying up on the management of this thread, I've been busy and didn't think a festering swamp of puss was brewing in here like it was.


And to anyone all up in arms about the contest, Stylin had nothing to do with the creation of this contest, I made it up without speaking to him, and actually havent spoken to him since I have. So place all blame on me.

If you have a problem with anything like this in the future - PM ME, or another mod/admin, do not post your concerns publicly.
