Its just like ...

 

were all having different opinions here.

 

Could this mean that ... taste in movies is subjective??

 

Was…anybody saying otherwise?

Speaking of unmade scripts, I started reading John Sayles’ script for Jurassic Park 4 last night. 
 

John Hammond sending a military guy out to Nublar to recover the Barbosol can!! I couldn’t sleep!!

Just saw JWD and tbh I think it was enjoyable for what it was, but without the original trio it would have been awful. The first half did drag a bit and I can fully see where the criticisms are coming from, but it was better than FK (which I don’t hate), especially the last half hour or so.

Hey at least Universal never went with the human/dinosaur hybrids plot

[CoolioD1]

rise of skywalker is 95% junk but also gives us the single best thing from disney star wars so far (babu frik). it's a fair trade for me. i'm not sure colin would've been down with the frikness so his episode IX probably would've been worse.

No? It was more a response to your post why you hate JW so much which is totally fine since all opinions are subjective just thought it would be funny to post it

I dare people to stop using this phrase and go into a movie WITH expectations, and be honest with yourself and with the filmmakers when they don't meet those expectations that are advertised.

If you go in expecting every movie to expected to be wowed ... won't the ultimate result just be a lot of misery? Having reasonable, lowered expectations allows for those to be met and lead to a more enjoyable experience.  Can still be disappointed with having to lower the bar in the first place (as I am now, not yet having seen JWD, but knowing in advance its no masterpiece)

This series has the most rewatchable movies to me. I literally watch them every chance I get - be it on streaming, TV, etc.

 

Youre even more forgiving than i am!

I genuinely don't take myself seriously.

 

So far, the only two movies I actively disliked were The Bad Guys and Firestarter

Fan-people need to learn how to deal with complicated emotions and yes, critique the things that they love and NOT lower their expectations of good storytelling.  I don't lower my bar for anything -- I expect people with hundreds of millions of dollars at their disposal and years of development to be able to turn out quality entertainment.  There are multiple other movies out there right now, some big, some small, which do successfully prove that it can be done.
