@@vincentkonopka1479 in the scene just before Bruce comes out of the pit I think, Fox says that there is 23 days before the bomb goes off. give or take a few days between when Lucious Fox said that and Bruce escaping the pit, I think there would've been at least 15 days for him to get back into Gotham which for someone like him would be enough. if you look closely it is visable that there is a city no more than a mile from the pit.

[@w-james9277]

100% agree with you on the Dark Knight Rises. Although I still love it, it has flaws which I overlooked after first seeing it. After I saw it I said it was better than the Dark Knight, three years later (Although still great) it doesn't come close to its predecessors. Fanboys are the worst. Your favourite movie has flaws. Accept them and move on!

[@LockeWick]

+Will James I actually think Fanboy-ing also works the other way around with them liking so much that they won't/cannot enjoy any adaption of it. Because something has flaws in it, they automatically hate on it even if it is actually a pretty good adaption. Anime fans come to mind for that example.

[@w-james9277]

***** I know it has flaws but 90% of everything in the film worked really well.

[@windowsVD]

+Leopard95 Though I'd argue that TDK suffers from some similar problems as well, that still get overlooked to this day.

[@w-james9277]

Thomas Jiang No, the DK wasn't 100% perfect but its a fantastic movie. Nearly flawless and the Joker was terrifying. One reviewer was comparing it to other movies. He said what makes TDK good was its ability to build up tension. It made the hero always one step behind. The joker was killing people everywhere and the hero was almost powerless to stop him.

[@windowsVD]

Leopard95 Of course, I love TDK as well, it's one of my all time favorites. That being said, my opinion of TDK is more or less the same as Chris's opinion of TDKR, and that extends to pretty much all 3 films in the trilogy. All of them have plot holes, but are all emotionally impactful, well directed, and show a strong understanding of its characters. Even then, much of TDKR's so called plot holes are either explainable or are consistent within the rules of the first 2 films. My point is, it bothers me that TDKR gets so selectively nitpicked for its plot holes yet the ones in BB and TDK are almost constantly ignored. In BB, almost the entirety of Ra's plan relies on a major chemical impossibility in order to pull off. In TDK, much of Joker's plan relies on pure coincidence and convenience and just Gotham's security staff being a much of morons, to the point where it almost feels like Joker somehow broke the fourth wall and acquired a copy of the script, allowing him to know and predict everything ahead of time. I love all movies, especially TDK, but even that film has its fair share of plot holes.

[@brunobb1]

The Dark Knight Rises doesn't have "small plotholes" that you only find when you're trying to nitpick, it has huge plotholes.

[@jarosbodytko6462]

My biggest problem with fanboying today isn't so much people defending bad movies because they like them or are big fans of the characters or franchise. It's ok to love bad movies. I'm a huge Ninja Turtles fan and I really enjoy the 2014 movie. But I know it's a ridiculously bad movie no matter how you look at it. It's a guilty pleasure. No, my biggest problem is that nowadays you have to justify why you like or don't like a movie. People actually expect you to convince them or at least explain yourself why you have a certain opinion about a movie as if that explanation suddenly is going to make a huge difference and make your opinion more valuable. It doesn't. Movies are personal and each movie hits different marks for different people. And if you enjoy a bad movie, or hate a good movie, because it connected, or didn't connect, with you, than that's ok and no one should question your taste and opinion because that is a personal thing.

[@corrupt_insomniac]

Spot on! 👌

[@terraemotus7044]

There's nothing wrong with liking a movie

[@BooserBoi]

You do need a reason for every opinion you have. You can't just like or dislike or love or hate anything without a reason. Now, having said that, that doesn't mean your answer has to "satisfy" the questioning party. Your answer could be," I love the Ninja Turtles and will pretty much watch anything with them because the Turtles are awesome!" That's a reason. Who cares if the person asking says some bullshit about that not being good enough. So, yeah, everything has to have a reason.

[@jarosbodytko6462]

A reason, sure. But people expecting you to explain those reasons as if any of that justifies liking or not liking something is what bothers me nowadays.

[@Johnny-ux7yi]

I agree, sometimes i feel Chris wants people to agree with him. For example, he has made clear to his viewers that they can enjoy Rogue One and The Amazing Spider Man as long as they acknowledge the issues they have. or he does feel baffled when notices people enjoying a bad movie (The Phantom Menace, X-Men Origins: Wolvering, Batman and Robin) I mean sorry but he doesn't have the right to tell people how they should watch a movie. Enjoying a movie is not a matter of FACTS, it's a matter of OPINION and SUBJECTIVITY. As for me, i enjoyed Rogue One. Why? Because i genuinely did. No need to be questioned.

[@tomossurrey]

You're view on The Dark Knight Rises with the plot hole scenario is the same as mine with Interstellar. Interstellar is one of my favourite movies of all time, but the performances alone, along with the story, soundtrack, visual and practical effects makes the movie for me and makes me not really regard the plot holes. I'm glad someone else feels this way about a different movie, so thank you for that. However, I disagree with The Amazing Spider-Man. I thought that it was a fantastic movie with a great performance from both Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone. A lot of people may not agree with me saying this, but I think it's both a great movie and comic book movie. I know you're both probably rolling your eyes but it's honestly true. It's also a personal preference thing too. But I'm right with you with The Amazing Spider-Man 2. That's the movie I "Phantom-Menaced" with. I absolutely loved it when it came out, about a year later I really hated it. Great video, guys.

[@SanggiChristianKim]

+Tomos Surrey I consider the Amazing Spider-Man a GOOD movie. Not a great one, but a good one.

[@natalieelessar]

Im one of the few people who think the Amazing Spider man movies are absolutely fantastic, by far my favourite movies of all time and im not ashamed to say it. I honestly cant see the perspective of one who hates it. (I love tobey's Spider man equally the same)

[@SanggiChristianKim]

Great job Chris! I loved the editing, all the camera angles and just the quirky humor. Hope you do more.

[@reecetomm]

Videos like this is why Chris is my favourite movie critic, a brilliant discussion with lots of amazing analysis. The fact that Chris not only reviews individual movies but also discuses them from a macro level, taking into account genre, fans, etc is top notch. Chris and Mark Kermode for me are the best in the business because 99% of critics will just talk about individual movies and criticise/praise them and move on. Chris and Mark do that but also go deeper (Mark less so because he's clearly more of a writer than KZbinr but he still does it) in videos like this, you can tell they have a connection with movies that goes beyond simple entertainment, as much as I love other critics like Jeremy Jahns and Flickstarr, I appreciate videos made like this a million times more. keep up the amazing work Chris, best movie reviewer out there.

[@smashin]

Agree I hate the "Turn off brain saying", just because it is entertaining does not mean it shouldn't challenge you to think. I like to think about the plot and be wowed about outcomes in the movie.

[@benjaminmartinez2066]

If your a fan of something, you shouldn't be hesitant to criticize it when needed. For instance, I love the Simpsons. But I will admit, it hasn't been good in a long time. Still my favorite show though.

[@UltimateChance]

I enjoy Amazing Spider-man 1-2 but I see the flaws big time. It's easy to see but still very enjoyable. I actually have more "FUN" watching them than Spider-man 1-3. Now I know Spider-man 2 is better but Amazing just more "fun" to watch if that makes sense. Either way enjoyable comic book movies with very noticeable flaws.

[@MChedderbeef]

Sorry Whitey, but I gotta disagree on that one. But hey, opinions! P.S. Love your videos.

[@UltimateChance]

It's cool! They're not for everyone and the flaws are major but man when they hit the notes on Spider-man well they kill it. I really love the flow of spider-man fight scenes they capture the comic so well and the relationship with gwen and her death.

[@maxh_music]

+UltimateChance I completely agree UltimateChance. One great thing in AS2 - Peter/Gwen dynamic is the first time in Spider-Man films where we actually see a relationship that is believable, Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone's chemistry is great. Remember how annoying Tobey/Kristen relationship was throughout the Sam Raimi trilogy? Plus Doug Walker from TGWTG said something good about Peter in the new films. We actually see him grow as a man in the films as he learns. Every Raimi film Tobey was either quitting the job as Spider-Man or acting like a child, he never grew to be cocky like the character does. Garfield's Spider-Man does this with flying colors. Each series has their pros and cons, but Amazing Spider-Man 2 is extremely underrated IMO.

[@UltimateChance]

Couldn't have said it better myself

[@MChedderbeef]

+UltimateChance In my opinion, Spider-man 2 (2004) had the best fight scene of all the movies with that train battle, it just blew my mind.

[@Mina_chan223]

Love you guys and your vids! This makes me see fanboying as a problematic relationship where there is no communication to maintain the peace. Admit there's a problem and get past it. Your movie relationship will be all the better for it :)

[@Dean444ful]

I actually enjoyed TASM, I hated the second one though.

[@Dean444ful]

I mean it wasn't incredible but it was enjoyable.

[@kaleidoscopeeyes1250]

+Dean444ful I actually think that TASM is arguably the best spider man movie, period. The only reason it gets flak is because nobody was ready to re-live the whole origin story so soon. Grittier, Andrew was a better Peter/Spider Man, and the story arc was pulled straight from the 90s cartoon (more or less). I don't know why people defend the Raimi trilogy so much. I was a kid and a huge Spider Man fan at the time it came out but it just felt a little cheesy and off in tone. The Raimi movies surfaced during the awkward pre-marvel studios era where directors wanted to interpret the source material as their own vision, rather than just making the characters as the comics intended. Impressive as it was, even the Doc Ock fight didn't sway me. It was an overly drawn out slug fest, more akin to a watered-down Superman fight (also not helped by being a broad-daylight spectacle rather than a showdown in some secret lab or warehouse at night etc). Spider man never faced Ock like that - he had to be clever and use webbing and other tricks while avoiding his tentacles to succeed, and there are plenty of other details that didn't match the Spider Man vibe. Anyway, just my two cents.

[@Dean444ful]

kaleidoscope eyes I actually like the Raimi Spider-Man movies (except for the last) but yes, I agree that the tone was off. And Garfield was definitely the superior Parker/Spider-Man. And I hate that people complain that he's too good looking since Garfield actually looks similar to Peter_Parker. I mean TAMS isn't perfect but it in no way deserves the shit it gets.

[@Dean444ful]

OJWH that's mostly just for the MCU. Fox, I feel, can still deliver some surprisingly unique movies. The MCU has just been over-saturating the market with mediocre movies.

[@Dean444ful]

OJWH my exact thought's on TASM. And yea true Fox has FF but honestly not a lot of people were expecting that to be good anyways. Fox is killing it with X-Men and TASM franchise could've been great if it wasn't for the mess that was TASM2. I just like that these other studios make superhero movies feel special. The MCU on the other hand (while not necessarily bad) just kinda dishes out a load of movies because they know it's a way to make a quick buck. Which sucks because people are actually starting to get tired of comic book movies because of this.

You should make a video about the opposite problem: people who hate on movies without a reason aka nitpickers or simply because it's cool nowadays to shit on everything. It really bothers me, not just the hate about Star Wars movies, but that toxic "why did you like the movie, it's utter shit" attitude in general.

[@astrohkid]

I usually respect your opinion Chris, and while I agree with the sentiment of "turn on your brains", I don't agree with the way you guys discussed this at all and I think it's kind of a toxic perspective to have. The idea that there is some kind of objective truth and that people who like "bad" films like TASM2 or Terminator Genysis are only doing it because they love the brand and are blind to flaws is frankly closed-minded. There's no objective "good" or "bad". Like what you like because you like it, not because someone tells you to. Who even cares if they like it out of brand loyalty! Nobody's ever right or wrong, your opinion is your opinion, who cares. If someone loves TASM2 or Jurassic World, that's their beef. I personally love Resident Evil Retribution. I think it's totally awesome and weird. I don't know, from my POV I think open-mindedness is key from everyone's perspective. I also gotta point out that with your Dragon Ball Z point you kind of contradicted yourself. The way I see it, calling Dragon Ball Evolution "the worst film in the history of cinema, period" is a product of being a fanboy. The only reason you hate that film so much is because you have brand loyalty and you hate to see something you love ruined (there's nothing wrong with that) - I could be dead wrong, but that kind of extremity only comes through because of what you guys define as "fanboying". And also - because even though I shouldn't have to clarify this - this is just my opinion. Still love u 4ever Chris.

[@kyleknott7243]

Yeah, right on. Opinions are opinions. Personally I think Troll 2 is the most beautifully crafted film ever thought of. Also Steven Spielberg sucks!

[@astrohkid]

+Dani Porfirio That's actually a fair point, and I'm sure their intentions in making this video were this exactly, I just feel like the video itself comes off as closed-minded because all it seems to do is slam those whose opinions don't line up with what they consider "good". Granted, that's THEIR opinion, so it's all cool - just the idea that there are universal truths, and anyone who wants to enforce their opinions that are contrary to those universal truths is wrong seems a little messed up to me. I'm just saying that there's no right answer, I guess. I don't know.

[@Scatman-qr7sd]

+Kyle Knott Exactly

[@Scatman-qr7sd]

+astrohkid Nobody can have a right or wrong opinion, you are right about that. I like a lot of bad movies, that doesnt mean I am wrong because thats my opinion. If I was to sit here and say these bad movies that I like were good films then I would be wrong. I used this example in an earlier conversation but if you dont like The Godfather than you are not wrong but if you say "The Godfather is a shitty film." then you are wrong. Theres a difference between your opinion and quality of filmmaking. Its almost disrespectful to filmmakers and the whole process of making movies to say "Theres no good or bad" and "Nobody is right or wrong, opinion is opinion." There are expert filmakers out there who have mastered the craft and things like writing, directing, acting, editing, lighting etc. are all measurable in terms of quality, without even considering whether or not you like a movie.

I hate Tim Burton batman movies as well which other people do like. do I love batman? absolutely..... am I a fanboy in denial? absolutely not

[@HeathMartinVO]

you guys are two of my favorites... thank you for keeping it 100. there is a time and place for filler movies (fun but nothing in the content department) but we WANT classics in every genre!! thank you for letting the studios know how the real fans feel! i detached my thought from Terminator Genesys and actually enjoyed it aside from some poor acting (no emotion per usual from Jai Courtney and the queen of dragons) and overacting by the villain (John Connor) but as a stand alone it was entertaining... i have major issue with them deciding to completely unravel everything that the original films created! KEEP IT UP!!

[@ChrisCarmona]

i will always adore the Lord of the Rings trilogy... when the Hobbit movies were being released, the fanboy in me would lie to myself and act like i loved them. now that it's over, i feel free to say THEY'RE NOT AS GREAT AS LOTR! that felt good. thanks for opening up my eyes Chris.

[@98Dreadboy]

+Chris Carmona I had the same reaction when I first watched the hobbit " This movie was good right guys? RIGHT?

[@xboy4331]

I felt the same way about An Unexpected Journey, I don't know if I would still like it the third time though. However, Desolation of Smaug and Battle of Five Army's were both so bad that I almost walked out of both. They were so cartoony and ridiculous that I get angry just thinking about them. Why Peter Jackson, WHY!?!?

[@ChrisCarmona]

agreed. they were good, especially 'Smaug', but i slept through most of Five Armies at the theatre... that depressed me

[@Dousch]

I more or less LIVED The Hobbit when the first one came out. Now I've turned my back on the whole trilogy altogether, with no plans of rewatching them. I absolutely hated the cgi mess we got in the third one. Like you, I was blinded by my love for the masterpiece that is the lotr trilogy.

[@xodiach]

You guys are like the perfect comedic duo.

[@marcozuleta133]

Hi Chris you should do the exactly same thing to The Force Awakens, i'll assure you that it has the same WTF plot holes and dumb moments that for example Jurassic World, not to mention that is a rip off of the original movie. That is what I don't like about fan boys, that they become hypocritial because they forgive things in their favourite franchises that in other movies they would never forgive. Admit it Chris, you are a fan boy of Star Wars and that's why you think is the best movie of the year.

[@marcozuleta133]

+Patrick Hopkins I don't hate it and I don't hate people who loved it. I'm just saying that no matter how I like a movie, I will always be objective and I will always give it the place it deserves. and putting the force awakens as 2015s number 1 movie, is clearly a fanboy opinion. that's like saying that TFA deserves the oscar for best picture of the year....and that's just BS.

[@marcozuleta133]

+Patrick Hopkins you are entitled to love TFA, but if a "movie expert" like Chris Stuckmann puts it on number 1 over movies like Inside Out, Mad Max, Sicario, The Room, The Hateful 8, The Danish Girl, The Revenant, etc... well that to me says that he thinks and reate movies more based on his heart, than the quality of the movie itself. And that's why I can not take him serious anymore; I enjoy his videos, but sadly I don't trust his opinion/taste anymore.

[@CouchTfilms]

[@titankiller5287]

Does no one understand, the public opinion ALWAYS sways your personal opinion, that's why Chris took back his amazing spider man grade, just look at the Star Wars ratings when the movies first came out, phantom menace was basically liked all around, then public opinion changed and swayed everyone's personal opinion, hats just how people rate things nowadays, the publics opinion

[@alissafrankinstien4303]

[@LorenzoDoesntExist]

*Chris, let me summarize GT for you.* Arc 1: Pilaf steals the "prototype" Black Star Dragon Balls that scatter across the universe when used and must be retrieved within a year or the planet explodes. He wishes Goku to be a kid again. Kid Goku, Pan, Trunks and a little robot go on an original Dragon Ball rip-off adventure through space finding them. Arc 2: A liquid android named Baby created by the race the Saiyans evicted for Planet Vegeta discovers about Saiyans on Earth and travels there to avenge his dead race. Baby spreads like a virus through everyone and chooses Vegeta as his main host. This next bit is actually the only cool part of GT. The more of Vegeta's power Baby uses, the more robotic Vegeta starts to look. He eventually expands Vegeta's power into a version of Super Saiyan 3. To counter this, Goku decides to use Super Saiyan while in the Great Ape form to achieve Super Saiyan 4. Arc 3: Dr. Gero and the doctor who created Baby conspire in hell. They develop another Android 17 as well as a portal from hell to Earth to send him there. The two Android 17's merge into Super Android 17 and gets defeated shortly after. Arc 4: The team collects the Dragon Balls to recover from the last arc, but due to overuse, a fat, nicotine-smoking blue dragon comes out instead, grants no wish, and splits into 7 smaller dragons. They eventually reform into one Omega Shenron. Goku and Vegeta become Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta and fighs him.

[@sharathsh9987]

You should've mentioned Christopher Nolan's fanboys too..

[@TheThirdChild]

+Sharath SH Talking about TDKR was enough. I guess Inception could have been covered too, but it's only been his recent movies to get overhyped

[@ZenNeonRazor]

Overall Christopher Nolan makes some amazing films, Memento, Interstellar

[@TheThirdChild]

Zen Razor Exactly! People hate on Nolan just because of the Batman movies (which are also great, but people love to hate). He's one our generations best filmmakers!

[@sharathsh9987]

The Third Child Well, I don't think so. It's not something to brush off that easily, because most of them are, simply speaking, parasites. I was just talking about some of his movies on a group forum, how some of them have flaws; I was praising his work immensely too, but within mins, fanboys just started making these stupid statements like, "You don't get it, cause you're dumb," or "You're just a hater." I do admit that I enjoyed reading their comments. But seriously, they're bad..

[@TheThirdChild]

Sharath SH That's just the younger fans that think they're super smart for understanding a movie like Inception (which takes one watch to understand)

[@claudiodiasmonteiro]

[@bennygarcia1913]

This was spot on!!!!! Great video guys. I've felt like this for a long time and I'm glad you voiced it for me

[@adammoore130]

I have fanboyed over movies before and have been in denial about the quality of a film which I was really excited for. However I do not count The Dark Knight Rises as one of those films. I loved the Dark Knight Rises when I first saw it and I still love it to this day because I believe it is a fantastic movie. Having said that, since my first viewing (during which I thought it was an almost perfect film), I have begun to acknowledge that the film has a few flaws. However I only see these as rather minor flaws and they do not really affect my enjoyment of the movie. The fact that I did not notice these flaws at first was not because I was in denial, it was because I was so wrapped up in the amazing story of this truly compelling blockbuster. I doubt that I would have ever acknowledged The Dark Knight Rises' flaws if it weren't for me going back and re-watching the film many times and hearing other people complain online.

[@jamesm1928]

I actually really enjoy the first amazing spider man movie. The 2nd one was one of the worst steaming piles of SHIT that had ever hit theaters. But when I first saw it I thought it was the best spider man movie.

That movie sucks

[@Neat0_o]

@@user-vr8fs8gg6h😂

[@JonathanGarcia-vd5ci]

Why do people hate so much on The Dark Knight Rises? Batman Begins and The Dark Knight also have plot holes. in Batman Begins, the whole plan of Rah's Al Gul makes no sense, because if the toxin was already there why didn't anyone get it? Don't people have hot water or take showers. Also why does Rahs say that Bruce left him to die? How does Bruce contact Alfred to get him? Why does Scarecrow have a different reaction to the drug than everyone else? Then The Dark Knight. In the opening scene, why doesn't anyone point out the fact that a bus crashed in to a building and the other busses did not do anything? Doing what Batman did with Lao in China would cause tension between China and USA. How come everyone dies when the Joker has the police station explosion and he is just standing like nothing? Joker says he doesn't want to Kill Batman, but what if Dent had been Batman? He almost killed him. Jokers plan makes no sense. Is he psychic or something? How did he come up with all that? How did he know Batman. would be in the interrogation room and have play his little game? What happens after Batman saves Rachel from the fall? And why not just blame Joker for all Dent did?

[@Fortstorm]

+Jonathan Garcia Bruce left who he thought was Rahs in the burning mansion to die. And everyone has a different reaction to the toxin based on their fears. I actually though this was really clever. When Crane gets dosed Batman looks like a demonic creature. A ghoul. Crane was scared of Rahs al Ghul.

[@JonathanGarcia-vd5ci]

+Fortstorm What about everything else? I mean the cop say that the drug has been in the water supply for weeks, how did no one get it? Not trying to argue, just wondering what people answer.

[@YTChannel420]

Chris is a star wars fanboy

[@tomwolverine4353]

I agree on this video Chris, But i disagree about that "If a movie is bad, then just accept it" part. I think in the end, it's all matter of people's prespective. Like for Example, the movie that came out this year, Tomorrowland, i really enjoy that movie, to me that was a really great film, but people keep telling me to rewatch it and consider my opinion, and i did. My opinion didn't change, still liked the Movie Yes there's a flaws in that Movie but i still really like that movie till this day. Same goes to Insurgent. I watch Insurgent without thinking the book, and personaly, i like it a lot. Yes maybe there's flaws like fast plot and bad supporting chatacter but still, i enjoy that movie more than Mockingjay Part 1. Because it has real chemistry and All the action and Simulation part is actualy a great sequences. I even rate it a B for Insurgent. and A- for Tomorrowland. So in the end, It's all matter of People's opinion. You guys can't hate a movie just because people and Criticus says it's bad. And for book readers, You can't hate a movie just because it is different from the book. Like The DUFF. that movie is like VERY DIFFERENT from the book yet it turns out to be a great comedy movie. tho for overall it was just an OK film, but it is definitely a great Comedy/Drama Movie. So again, In the end it's only matter of people's prespective. Sorry for the Bad grammar. English is not my Language!

"On Fanboying" AKA Chris's reaction to all of the hate comments on every video

[@paradoxacres1063]

Yeah, I don't like how critics seem to lump every single disagreeing comment with the Fanboy comments. (It sometimes feels like they're just Straw Man-ing people who disagree with their Reviews)

[@NiiRubra]

+Paradox Acres You are assuming things. This is a reaction to the "you are a fanboy" comments, sure, but it's not like he's saying "I never get good criticism, people just call me a fanboy all the time". He's acknowledging *one aspect* of the criticisms that he gets, this is not a comprehensive answer to everything that people say about him and his reviews.

[@paradoxacres1063]

Nihillo Rubra Well, they kinda failed to point out that Critics *disagree with each other* all the time. Like, they could've talked about movies Chris loved but John hated..but they _didn't_ do that, did they? Chris loved Shyamalan's _The Village_ but he _conveniently_ forgets to mention that other Critics (like Doug Walker) hated that movie. So....that's why it feels like they're Straw Man-ing people who disagree with them. Either you have the balls to point out that you disagreed with a fellow Critic over a Movie or..you risk sounding touchy over disagreement.

[@NiiRubra]

Paradox Acres That's not what they were discussing, the subject of this video is not the criticism that they get, it's a video about the concept of being too attached to a franchise, to the point where you may end up ignoring its flaws. Like I said, you're kind of projecting your interpretations and assumptions into this, he's not making up excuses for why he's right and why his critics are wrong or anything like that, he's reacting to those comments where people have called him a "fanboy".

[@paradoxacres1063]

Nihillo Rubra ....but Criticism is a complex thing and anything Criticism-related deserves a bit of nuance. Basically, if you're going to say NO to something (Fanboying) then it's good to say YES to something else (Reasonable Disagreements).

[@levifischer216]

I enjoyed Terminator Genisys because it had a happy(ish) ending, compared to the others, anyway. I'm too emotionally attached to The Amazing Spider-Man 2 because I watched it during a rough time in my relationship, and I was just so emotionally invested in Gwen and Peter...and when she died, I remembered balling my eyes out.

Haha, I got some RedLetterMedia vibes from some of the editing choices here. Chris and John, keep up the great work guys! Y'all are awesome!

[@sarah4hp]

I'm sorry, but you are very contradictory in your attempt to not make it seem like you are disregarding the validity of other people's opinion. What I heard was basically "you are allowed to like movies that are "bad".... you just have to see the bad things we did, and agree that they are bad, and do NOT support the movie or speak positively about it, because then you will harm us REAL movie lovers fight to get GREAT movies, and not just the mediocre ones that YOU accept as good enough, by letting the people behind the movies believe it was good enough, and they don't need to do better". So... I can like a movie that you find bad, but if I do not share your ill opinion of the movie I am harming movie goers everywhere by accepting bad films.... gee, thanks for allowing me that right, I guess? Now, I have long had a great deal of respect for you as a reviewer, and have had my view on a movie impacted by you on several occasions because you have great insights and knowledge, but.... while you were obviously trying not to be condescending you did not succeed in my opinion. This was the first time I have felt you considered yourself above others, and that you consider us, the viewers, as less than you, and I found that disappointing. You have always seemed to me to like a guy that always tried to be fair in your reviews, and to see both the good and the bad in each movie, even when you felt the bad overshadowed the good, and I always felt you acknowledged and respected subjectivity instead of considering yourself the one true judge of what is good and bad. Here it seemed like I was wrong in thinking that, which is sad.

[@JJcoolJ0608]

+sarah4hp Couldn't have said it better. The only fact about movies is that they are subjective. There is no bad or good because everyone has a different taste, mindset and experience, when it comes to watching a movie.

[@LockeWick]

+Mr. IDGAF Which is the subjective aspect of films, there is an objective aspect of film making which is how well the film is built which is where critics look at which is the writing, directing, editing, acting, ect. Did I enjoy Jurassic World? Hell yeah but it had a lot of terrible aspects to it which are but not limited to, boring side stories that were completely unnecessary (like the children and definitely the parents), plot holes galore, and so much dumb happening everywhere. All of it made the film a lot worse then it could of been, just removing the childrens' side story would of vastly improved the film since the whole divorce storyline had nothing to do with the film's actual story.

[@SpaderB13]

+sarah4hp Absolutely agree. Exactly the points I planned on making myself. Thanks for saving me some time.

[@ThisIsMyFullName]

+Mr. IDGAF That's just not true. There's a general structure to all art forms, that takes root in our perception and understanding. If everything simply was subjective, then popularity would only be based on luck.

[@sarah4hp]

ThisIsMyFullName But our feeling impact how we react to everything around us. For example, a mediocre movie might be viewed as the worst movie of all time by you because every minor flaw is blown out of proportion by your love for the source material etc. Because you love something SO much the disappointment with every minor thing they didn't get right will be way higher than under other circumstances, and your judgment of the movie way harsher than it might otherwise have been. Same way the other way around - the things they got right might make you so ecstatic and overjoyed that it easily makes up for any flaws, and still makes it an amazing experience for you, while others experiences were a lot less enjoyable because the moments that made the movie so memorable and impactful for you didn't have the same effect on them. Your emotions are always with you, as is your emotional baggage and past experiences, and they impact what your experience with any movie will be. And who is to say that one is more right than the other? There might certainly be flaws in the movie that were enough to make the viewing experience very unenjoyable for some. That doesn't mean that those who were very impacted by the moments they got right, and as such loved the movie, are wrong. They just had a very different experience because of their relationship to the source material, past experiences that made them relate a lot to what happened in those moments, or whatever the case might be. And maybe flaws that drive some crazy enough to be unable to enjoy the movie will hardly be noticed by others because they are inconsequential to them, and as such their experience will be vastly different. And sure there are ways to analyze film making for professionals who have been taught those analytical tools, but the way you do so is again impacted by who you are. What approaches and methods you are partial to, and which you are not, will impact what constitutes a successful movie in your eyes, and what doesn't. And that's okay, we shouldn't have to apologize for being who we are - but we do need to respect that not everyone will agree with our opinions and tastes.

[@its_only_martin6888]

I loved the Amazing Spiderman (1) . But, when fully introducing my young brother to Spiderman a few months ago, I shown him the 2004 Spiderman 2 because I didn't want his first experience inevitably lead into the mess that was TASM2. Same reason I'll never show my children the Star Wars prequels or Batman and Robin. I want them to grow up on 'quality' so they can recognize shittyness and not be blinded by fanboyism because they a nostalgic bond with it. I kind of have that nostalgic bond with Batman Forever and I hate myself

[@its_only_martin6888]

+Its_only_martin (Except the whole bending the goal post by throwing the ball thing in TASM1, I fucking despise that scene, so stupid) .... But the scene where the child puts the mask on and thinks he is strong enough to climb out of the car kind of seems cheesy, but I had tears in my eyes when I first saw it because it summed up the effect Spiderman and other superheroes had on myself as a child and symbolically means to a lot of children in an over the top situational way.... So yeah, bit of fanboying, bit of hating, that is what the internet should take on board.
