    No, thank you for taking the time to read it. I know that long posts like this get glossed over sometimes, due to their length

    This was perfect, I couldn't have said it better myself. I believe you are 100% correct and this just has me more pumped to see the movie tomorrow.

    Of course they're trying to send a message. That message is "we, as individuals, do not have a positive attitude towards this movie". Jesus tapdancing Christ, how hard is it to NOT try to ascribe massive conspiracies to people who view cinema as art not really feeling a popcorn-and-explosions movie?

    I know that that is what they are saying when they give a bad review. It just seemed to me that the gap in scores between critics and audience members was a lot bigger than it normally is. But I get what you're saying Aernaroth

    P.S. How does one tapdance in sandals? ;)

    This should be front-paged, stickied, and required to be read before registering or posting.

    Excellent post.
