Stop what?  The backlash is already starting with people saying it's not that great.  And I loved the movie.

 

That's not backlash.

That's how it starts and it builds as the movie gets more praise and awards.

If there is backlash, it won't be significant enough to make an impact.

Says who?

 

Bot cracks me up. A few nitwits on this board say ‘it’s not as good as the critics are saying!’ 

 

Than all the sudden the movie is a failure and people start calling for a backlash against it.

 

Some people on this board really overvalue their opinions when it comes to movies. 

 

Btw, I saw the movie this afternoon and really enjoyed it, it’s probably in the 2nd half of my top ten of the year. Felt the movie took a little while to get going, but the 2nd half was aces. 

 

Im sure YM will play the ‘guilt card’ but I’m used to it from him.

Slumdog Millionaire received a shit ton of backlash as it was starting to enter the pop culture lexicon and that didn't stop it from winning on the big night. Just saying.

Good grief.

People are finally coming to their senses.

Logical.

No thread is complete until The Futurist descends on down to give us his take, I guess.

Every bad thread derailment is happening because of Rich.  Wise move is to ban him before things get out of hand.

"Lady Bird" is far from a perfect film, it's just not the mumblecore disaster you'd expect from Greta Gerwig - one of the mumblecore movement's prime progenitors.

[Incarnadine]

So this self proclaimed "Smartest film critic in the world" seems to be another one of those contrarian critics. Someone pointed out some of his other recent reviews:

Dunkirk "F"

Wonder Woman "F"

Logan "F"

Baby Driver "C-"

 

Last year he gave rotten reviews to La La Land, Moonlight, Silence, Nocturnal Animals, Lion, Jackie, Personal Shopper, Toni Erdmann, Loving, etc.

 

He also has the dubious honor of giving Toy Story 3 its first rotten review in 2010 (it ended up 287/4)

Add me to the train of, "It's a very good, even excellent, film but upon more insight I don't get why critics are fawning over it."

this doesn't make sense! i dunno i can't get into the "i like it but other people like it TOO MUCH" line of thinking.

[AniNate]

The fact that a pro critic disliked the movie probably would be completely overlooked at this point if you all didn't make such a big fucking deal over it.

EH, it probably is kind of silly.
