A movie review is a lot what did you personally feel when judging it and is impossible to not take them into account nor would most of your reader you developed a relation with would want you to do.

 

Referring a world cup is quite different.

Again disagree, there are plenty of fun movies that are a blast to watch that reviewers blast because of their quality. This is a reversal of that situation, you don't blast the film that's quality because of a an actor involved.

Uncle Drew, for a quick example, just got positive reviews solely because it’s fun.  I don’t think many critics will argue that film’s a masterpiece or that it’s even particularly well made, but clearly enough people enjoyed it to the point where it ended up with a decent reception.

[That One Girl]

And if a film is fun and intends to be fun, then shouldn’t that make it good?  Like I can understand criticizing a film/giving it a negative review if a film is fun for the wrong reasons, but if a film sets out to be fun and does its job then shouldn’t that warrant positive reviews?

Have to disagree, It's no different than being a judge at the Olympics or a referee at the world cup. You put personal feelings aside and judge without biases, that's the job

 

 

 

i definitely watch movies exactly like a referee. every time a film indulges in a cliche i'm tired of or i see a bit of bad acting i blow my whistle and get out the YELLOW CARD. sometimes even a red if i'm especially offended. my truth telling has gotten me kicked out of so many cinemas but it's PART OF THE JOB.

If they had a blast watching them they would not blast them (well maybe some rare weirdo does it but that would be obviously wrong to do).

 

Some people fall asleep trying to watch transformer 4 or 5 (I did) while other have a blast with it.

Looks like a nice win for Paramount. With this, Quiet Place and Book Club it's looking like a comeback year for them. If Bumblebee doesn't outright flop it'll be a good year for them.

So what is the film equivalent of a Neymar roll?

Heavy foreshadowing gets a flag and a 10-yard penalty from me. Sorry, but it's part of the job.

We need more brave heros such as yourself policing crimes against cinema. Bravo.

8 years ago I thought their future would be Star Trek movies. Whoops

a film trying to get sympathy/pathos from the death of an annoying character. like marlon wayans in dungeons and dragons  or something.

Glad to hear reactions are great. Probably my second most hyped tentpole for the rest of the year.

Which animated movie is the #1? 

[aabattery]

I've actually called the police in regard to Top Gun 2. The red card isn't enough of a punishment given what they've done there (in casting Teller instead of Set It Up star Glen Powell). I didn't feel good about it but it's part of the job.

George from Dunkirk is the new Marlon Wayans from Dungeons and Dragons.

Keeping with the sports metaphors: when a studio takes a movie away from the director and hacks it up in the editing room and makes it worse than before

i've already advised the manager/director that Teller isn't fit to play and he should probably make a substitution with Powell. i've done this by tweeting at the official @topgunmovie twitter account 30 times a day all part of my job. it's a gift and a curse.

Ya'll got jokes. Everyone in here agrees people should put personal feelings aside when judging Cruise the actor yet asking a critic to do the same is madness on my part apparently, my bad.

[Chewy]

What I do is line the reviews up against each other, and if one critic is saying something different from the others they go on my list

...no?

[MrPink]

Somebody needs to VAR these reviews and double check these critiques.
