Just finished watching this and I thought to myself "holy ****", I would have believed it if I didn't know better. I felt it was well done.
-
Personally, I thought the part about how we're all crystal dragon jesus in purgatory was a bit overdone. On the other hand, PUPPIES!
Note: Providing a link to something explaining what you are on about helps immensely.

This. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1220198/) I recommend it.

RottenTomatoes average: 18%.
Think it's best avoided, folks.
-
Yeah, the commercials looked pretty friggin' awful.
-
It wasn't that bad guys.......
-
I shouldn't have been so dismissive, and I'm glad you liked it.
But I do generally trust critics.
-
Based on IMDB reviews, it divides opinions sharply, and the part that absolutely dislikes it is larger than the part that absolutely likes it.
Based on just that I can't really say whether I would like or dislike it, but it'd be a risk investment and I'd rather save my money for something that a. I hear mainly good things of, and b. is about something I give a damn about.
Never been a fan of alien abduction conspiracy drama genre.

I did until critics of my then local newspaper gave Star Wars Episode 1 an "A-". Rotten tomatoes gives it a "62%". Looking at Avatar which except for the special effects really was not a good movie at all, yet they gave it an "82%". Critics being trustworthy? Not always.
EDIT: Just for the hell of it I also looked up Return of the Jedi, which really was a bad movie and they gave it "75%". Give me a break.

No, those are just critics disagreeing with your opinions. (Your local critic is a sample size of 1.)
I have found the opinions of critics to match up well with mine, and in general, I consider the consensus of multiple critics to be a good guide to filmmaking.
You're free to enjoy what you like, of course, and to disagree with critics however you please.

You're seriously defending star wars episode 1? :wtf: Despite the horrible acting, bad dialog, andbad writing?

Non sequitur...

We see you trollin'.
You're not going to get a flamewar out of this. I know you understood my post perfectly well. :)

A movie about Alaska?
Well at least...uh **** it, (INSERT SARAH PALIN/EXXON VALDEZ/POLAR BEAR/ESKIMO JOKE HERE SEMI-RELATED TO THE MOVIE)

Well, what saves episode 1 is Natalie Portman and Liam Neeson, and maybe the fact that after episode 6 you can pretty much expect anything.
And if anything else fails, there is still Natalie Portman. :P
-
Premature request for thread split.
Also, Liam Neeson was a disappointment in Episode I...not him as an actor, but because he was given such a terrible character to play. Natalie Portman does redeem part of the movie though.

I wasn't trolling, I was simply questioning their sanity (and yours for that matter). :P

I thought random and useless/enraging questioning/remarks was the definition of trolling. Oh well, guess you learn something new everyday.
Honestly, I thought this film looked stupid. Had the feeling that the trailers had every interesting part of the film already covered.
-
I saw the preview in theaters while blazed out of my skull, and it scared the living **** out of me. Then I saw the same preview again the next day while sober, and I had an epiphany about how fundamentally the film industry is structured around marijuana use.

See, this right here invalidates much of your opinion on critical accuracy. :p
The real travesty at work is that the abomination known as Episode III somehow has a higher Rotten Tomatoes score than ROTJ. The world's gone mad, I tell you...

Like I said, critics dont know what they are talking about. :p All of the prequels sucked, just some much more than others.

Look, you wanna question sanity, our local film critic panned the Lord of the Rings movies.
Now we can talk.
