    Kung pow enter the fist. Screw what the critics and rotten tomatoes score says. The movie is goated!

      rotten tomatoes is the worst indicator of whether a movie is any good, and “critics” are talking out their asses 100% of the time.

        You have to know how to use it. I know 80% audience and 40% critics will probably be a fun and interesting watch, but 70% critics and 80% audience will be a generic, well made but predictable movie that I’ll find boring. 95% critics 20% audience is arty and need to be in the right mood for. Etc.

        You know, this thread kinda has me thinking. Younger people these days will never know what it’s like to just watch a movie and make up your own mind about it. Every movie is the best thing ever or a pile of garbage and you haven’t even seen the trailer yet.

          what a weird comment.

          is this supposed to imply i don’t have taste?

          should i clap back about how you prefer to let paid shills tell you how and what to think about media?

          or should we notice that we’re in a thread about liking bad movies and maybe not make attacks on each others’ character in the most chickenshit-ass sideways manner in the name of defending some corpo website from flippantly vague criticism?

      I quote this movie weekly at least, often with sound effects that make people think I’m crazy. Love this live action cartoon.
