All strong criticizers of this movie are americans

As the title says, I think all strong criticizers of this movie are americans because, by reading the hollow arguments, I understand that scientology doesn't have a good reputation in the US. Is my guess correct? I believe so.

The movie doesn't deserve the criticism it has received. The american people is generally a very hateful one towards those with a different opinion, and the reactions to this movie is a good example of that. I don't mind if you take me for a racist, because it doesn't change the fact that I'm not.

What's my point for saying this? If you (the strong criticizers) go on hating everything that has to do with something with a different nature than the one of yourself, you will limit yourself alot in life.

Oh shove it up your ass. Some of Scientology's biggest opponents are in GERMANY, idiot. Lots of other countries don't even recognize it, and it has been refused religious status in a lot of those countries.

And I guess you don't notice your own hypocrisy, where you are being hateful towards Americans for not agreeing with your opinion. So Americans are bad because they don't agree with your opinions, but you are good because you don't agree with Americans' opinions. You're so logical!

Here is a question, how many people outside of the US have seen this movie? Maybe six people! And if you have to say you are not a racist, you probably are.

And I would rather have people who are "strong criticizers" than milquetoasts that will just accept any horrible crap they are given. It means they are smart enough to have critical faculties.

And what are these "hollow arguments?" Things like, they abuse dutch angles? The aliens are functionally retarded? The plot makes no sense? The awful dialogue? THE PLANES? For somebody who cannot even defend the movie except by "strongly criticizing" the people who don't like it, you sure are quick to say other people's criticisms don't count.

This movie is garbage.

As a Swede you have your own problems to worry about, not the US public criticizing crappy movies:

This is a good movie with compelling characters, compelling performances and compelling dialogue.. try to judge the movie beyond any prejudgements of it's relation to scientology.. scientology has nothing to do with it.

US votes average 2.2, non-US votes average 2.5; everyone think it sucks.

Please tell me that you are not representative of most people in Sweden.
I mean intelligence wise... you know, idiots. That combined with your superiority complex makes for a pretty ridiculous picture of yourself.

If you disagree, tell us how this film is not terrible, and why the COS is so terrific here in the US and around the world. I would like to hear more from you, really.
