Also, when people keep prodding and provoking his hangup with Christianity, I start to wonder if he's not justified in having it.
Nice review. Was looking forward to seeing this, but my local paper gave it a lower mark. However, the critic spent most of the article just crying about how the movie didn't do much that's original, so it was hard to take his word for it. Good to know I've got at least one positive review to reinforce me wanting to check it out.MovieBob said:
Can't get enough of your reviews!
I thought this was going to be another movie to skip, but now I want to see it. it has happened before. District 9 I thought I would skip, but then I saw your review, where you said it was the movie you had been waiting for, and it was damn good and all that. I went and saw it, and now I'ts my favorite movie of 09 along with UP, Avatar and Watchmen (Watch was from 09 right?).
Anyhow thanks for a great review once again, and I can't wait for the next

More than every ones post review rant on your ranting on Christianity in previous reviews, the thing that irked me the most was your pronunciation of Winstone. You pronounced it Win-stone where as its more normally pronounced Wins-tone.MovieBob said:

Despite being a practicing Jew I love Mel Gibson for one reason; Payback. Great review as always and YES for the record, I would love to hear your rant about family dynamics in the bearinstein bears (spelling?)
Shit, I thought Ryan Reynolds was going to be Deadpool in a full-length feature to apologize for destroying him in Wolverine: Origins.

I liked the introduction. The review was good as well, but I don't think I'll go to see this film. I might rent it on dvd when it comes out though.
It's good to see that Movie Bob ends up liking as many movies as he hates. Most critics (especially those broadcasting via internet) like to show their intelligence and justification to their position as a critic by loathing almost any movie that crosses their path. There is always a certain sense of satisfaction to them from taking a movie that is generally liked and tearing it down. Almost as if saying, "Hey I'm an original, exciting, and utterly deep individual who's entertainment value can't be pinned down and contained by any man-made film."
Truth is, everybody loves the feeling of being a critic. They love to ignore that child in their heart screaming out that they actually took joy in watching a movie, and instead pick out everything that was wrong with it. They like to feel that they're unique, not an easy target for the bandwagon. Even if they secretly loved every minute of a film in some sort of guilty pleasure fashion, they will never admit it.
Back to the point, that's why I enjoy seeing Movie Bob's reviews. He isn't afraid to admit that he enjoyed watching something, even if it wasn't perfect. I feel like I can, in good faith, take his reviews into consideration when deciding what to watch.
