Why do people who liked the film give a damn what critics thought?

    And if a critic agrees with how you feel about a movie, are they suddenly right again? There's always that flip-flop element of fairweather critic bashing/praise depending on if they lean the same way as you.
    It's because, as we've learned from James Bond, the world is not enough.

    Hidden agenda LOL that is rich and soooo ironic.

    Ohh my bad, I didn't realize that 1) there was a ruleset to your thread on words you can and can't use and 2) you own it and can tell people what to do. LOL

    I think I'll stay, I like it hear it's funny to hear a thread starter who attempts to rag on people who got upset that some critic said a, b and c about the movie and then proceeded to go ape-shi.. on them but then turns around and goes crazy on people who answer the question but ask other stuff. Lots of irony in here so it's a cool place to hang out.

    Ok guys. New rule.

    Every thread must be about the original topic with no deviation from said topic or new questions asked of anyone.

    LOL ok...........talk about going crazy lol wow and I thought fandom couldn't produce an even new degree of nuttiness, I shall call it sledginess.

    sledge- (def) someone who is a thread starter and thinks he owns such thread and can tell people to get out and to not ask questions other then what he original asked.

    I dunno why but everytime I read these posts I picture my little sister yelling as a kid "MOM get Ian out of my ROOMMMMMMM!!!!!!" "ADMIN get him out of my THREAAADDD!!!!"

    I dont care what critics or other people think, but when someone says ROTF is "The worst movie ever" or the "bigest pile of shit" theyve ever sat through then I get mad!

    I know how you feel. I feel the same way when people say" It's the movie of the year!!" or "I've seen it four times!!"

    If you want answers to your questions that are not "off topic", take some time to write them out properly.

    Actually, that IS what I said after I watched it the first time.

    But why would you care about what I think, when you love the movie? :)

    Really?

    Really?
    And I won't like you when you're mad?

    Revenge of the Fallen is a godawful film, brought about by the rushed writing of the script (NO DRAFTS!!!), and the general ineptitude of the director.

    Certainly the worst film I've seen this, possibly one of the worst films I have ever seen.

    Gets the angries turned up now!

    Indeed, especially when the whole thing is based off a toyline. You know for kids.

    Besides, when else did we care about such a thing that we would go to extremes to defend our opinions?

    I still find it hilariously ironic that critic's reviews supposedly mean nothing according to the fans (and Bay) when they're bad, but when they're good, suddenly they're front paged, quoted & praised by everyone who finally got to see what they wanted to: someone agreeing with their own opinion.

    Ohhh fandoms... they're such quirky little things. :)

    I'd say dull and predictable, as oppose to quirky.

    With the guys here always blinded by the Bayverse, I fee like joining Toon Zone or some other website which has more of a variety of opinions.
