This really sucked


I actually laughed out loud when James McAvoy yelled “I hate you! I hate you!” at the sewer after retrieving his “artifact”, then went all emo on that one kid.

You could tell McAvoy was struggling with the bad dialogue.

Lol!!

sorry to hear that

reply

aw nooo, i was pretty excited for this film.

i'll still watch it but damn every second review bashes this .. : (

reply

I thought it was really good.

reply

I thought it was almost embarrassingly bad.

reply

Oh look, a resident troll tries to make himself big like a certain clown.

reply

Who is trolling whom, I wonder...

reply

I just wonder why people bash this movie? They should at least indicate if they didn't like the first one, neither.

reply

Bit hypocritical critical of you , considering how much you have bashed TROS, a movie that’s not even realised!!!!

reply

TROS is a disaster in the making:
I don't like the new characters
I never liked the concept of the ST in the first place
Disney Star Wars is A Bad Thing
Why don't people get off my back about bashing that oncoming train wreck?

reply

You have no idea if its going to be a train wreck, yet you criticize people that have seen this movie because they think it sucks ?

do you see my point ?

reply

TROS is in the future, so obviously I can't see it yet, but I will.

IT Chapter 2 has been out for half a week, so I have seen it, and I liked it a lot and considered it a worthy follow-up to the original. Same writer, same director, half the cast is the same, so I cannot figure out why opinion on it is so divided, unless they just don't like adults doing what children did in the previous movie. Unless they don't like the book, neither.

reply

Pot meet kettle. Because you have your mind made up before seeing a film which shows you are closed minded. Which in turn means you are not credible or worth listening to.

reply

I think you replied to the wrong person, MF.

I made my mind up about the Sequel Trilogy years ago. I'm not interested. Get it, now?

reply

No I replied to you. Your credibility is shot. Why should i listen to someone as closed minded as you? Why should anyone?

reply

Ignore me, then. Why are you still replying to someone you don't want to listen to?

reply

Just thought I'd give you some advice. People like you are not worth listening to. Also you are a hypocrite. You criticize people for bashing a movie they haven't seen yet turn around and do that for the Disney Star Wars films. Ignorance and hypocrisy of this level showcases what's wrong with the world today.

reply

If you want to think nothing but nice things about the Sequel Trilogy, then just go ahead, stick your fingers in your ears and hum real loud. But that won't detract from the basic fundamental truth that the ST is a pile of crap.

reply

According to who you? A subjective opinion. Learn the difference between subjective and objective. If it's a fundamental truth you will have no problem providing objective data. You have the floor go ahead provide the truth that is objective.

Which means something that your personal opinion has no bearing on. I will wait. The one making a claim must provide proof. So burden of proof is on you. Go ahead smart one. If you fail it means you made a bogus claim backed up by nothing other than subjective opinion. I didn't make a statement or bogus claim you did.

reply

Many people liked TFA (I didn't, but that's not the point).
Many people didn't like TLJ (I despised it, but that's not the point).
I tend to ignore the shill movie critics who gave both movies high marks, because their earnings come from Disney who otherwise will not give them a bean if they bash the movie.
Put it this way, how do you explain RottenTomatoes? The poor audience ratings for TLJ vs the high critic ones? One side is obviously in Disney's pocket.

reply

All irrelevant. Where is that fundamental truth you claimed? Remember it can't be subjective, it has to be objective. For instance 2+2=4. That is an objective fact. If you or I say I disagree I think it=5 we would be wrong. Our opinion has no bearing on this fact. Provide the objective facts for this fundamental truth.

Second Disney pays off critics? I guess they forgot to mail off check for Aladdin and lion king and Dumbo live action remakes huh?

reply

We've had this discussion before. I'm shutting this down right now, I've given you your answer.

reply

Which is no answer lol. Don't make baseless claims! It makes you look ignorant!

reply

It's my opinion, OK? I'm sure I said that in some previous conversation we had.

reply

Then why did you say fundamental truth? See how ignorant you made yourself look? It isn't a fundamental truth it's your opinion. Notice I don't say that kind of stuff.

reply

Sorry, I was joshing before. "Fundamental truth" is a memorable Doctor Who quote, and "stick your fingers in your ears" was from a funny Babylon 5 moment. I just felt like typing them out.

What am I supposed to do? Say "IMHO" in each of my posts? I wonder if MovieChat supports signatures...?

reply

You made another bogus claim as well. If Disney pays off critics did they forget to mail off check for the live action Dumbo, Aladdin and Lion King? All those got bad reception. Second did it ever occur to you that sometimes critics or fans disagree and there isn't a hidden conspiracy? Nope of course not bevause you are insecure and need validation. So if someone doesn't agree with you something must be wrong with them. They can't just have a different opinion and it be ok.

reply

Maybe I am insecure. I really wanted this movie to be rated well by both groups. Then again, 63% Critics and 80% Audience is not bad for a follow-up to a higher-rated movie.

reply

And point proven. Simply because critics disagree with you on a film you will create some lame conspiracy theory as to why they rated it that high. You know I disagree with critics also but I just go yeah I disagree. I don't have to resort to a juvenile antic and make up a stupid conpiracy theory like you.

reply

And to think this is the guy that thinks TROS is not very good even though its not released , trolling the star wars boards

reply

Exactly. What a hypocrite!

reply

Pretty sure that's kind of how the dialogue is supposed to be. When they return to Derry and/or get called by Mike to come back to Derry, it essentially makes them revert to their child selves again.

reply

Didn't the older IT have a better ending?

reply

No, the miniseries didn't.

reply

Guess nobody could ever get it right.

reply

Muschietti's movies have done a better job than anyone could've imagined. I think so, anyway.

reply

It was... okay.

The second half of the book was always 50% less interesting than the first, and the film is about the same.

They seemed to lean a lot more towards comedic one-liners this time.
