Lately, it seems you can't go anywhere without critics telling you what they think about Snyder's attempt at producing the holy grail of comic book/graphic novel movies. I've always thought that critics were irrelevant, talentless hacks (those that get paid to share their opinions, that is). In this case, I think they are exceptionally bad, because I don't believe they are intended audience for the movie, so why do they have to promote their opinion like it is relevant? Odds are, 95% of them have never read the graphic novel, and they aren't embedded in the culture of comics, let alone appreciate them as an art form. I keep hearing how it is just an overly-expensive cult film for fanboys, or that we won't be able to stomach the changes, but whatever happened to letting us decide for ourselves? And haven't we earned the right to have one big-budgeted movie be targeted directly to us, with our satisfaction in mind? Think of the millions, nay - billions of dollars of revenue comic book fans have generated for Hollywood over the last decade, and all of the shitastic movies we've endured (X3, FF2, Spidey 3 & Superman Returns - more of a letdown than truly shitty). Haven't we earned the right to tell the general public to shut their yaps and follow our lead on this one but let us at least see the damn movie first?
