@Professor_Cuntburglar:disqus It's a lagoon, bitch. A gigantic goddamn pirate-themed lagoon.

I'm certain there was a fair amount of backlash involved. Certainly wouldn't be the first time critics shit all over something just because it was the thing to do. Same reason why lead-ins to television news stories on all the different networks all over the country are usually the same damn sentence just repeated…

Also stupider.

I've got a full list of dates with your mom.

Please, more details about your piss.

Clearly you remember being born in 1996.

You're in for a lot of disappointment in life movie-wise if you decide whether or not to see a movie entirely from the trailers. As for the script, it's not terrible in the slightest. A few jokes fell flat and you could tell where Verbinski had to fix a few holes because of the budget cuts and production being…

Shit, I'll go see it ten times.

JC played by what it thought was the rules for making a blockbuster epic and paid the price. It was as if it expected you to like it before you even saw it.

Agreed. That last 20 minutes is just bananas. If anything, I wanted some
of the slower parts excised and turned into even more flat-out lunacy. I
had a blast with it.

Much more enjoyable than John Carter. I 'enjoyed' that movie for a lot of strange reasons, but overall, it was a fucking mess. Lone Ranger is just too long and in need of some work on the script.

Your loss. And as far the True Grit remake goes, I thought it was boring as shit.

@avclub-3863055e02771459c127cf082cb9f155:disqus By listening to critics wholeheartedly and not giving a relatively new property a chance (come on, the last Lone Ranger adaptation was some shitty TV movie on the WB ten years ago), yes, I'd say so. I can't tell you how many discussion comments I've seen on fairly…

No matter how much you force the issue, Johnny Depp wasn't what made it not succeed. Getting a far lesser-known actor to play a Native American wouldn't have saved it, either. You're fooling yourself if that's genuinely what you think. Blaming the whole thing on Johnny's involvement is silly. I'll wager it wouldn't…

@avclub-72c26dade152f790ddc1cb0559c2ba96:disqus Ironic that so many large rolling herds of zombies turned out to see a movie about large rolling herds of zombies.

It's worth at least a matinee. The sheer size of it and the cinematography merit seeing it on a big screen. People are fucking lemmings. That's why it didn't do well.

WWZ was just people running from place to place and making phone calls. For a global zombie invasion movie, it aimed REALLY low and felt cheap. If zombies have taken over the world, do we really need to see one (just one!) jumping out at us from a closet? Cheap. And don't get me started on that rolling zombie herd…

BECAUSE IRONIC HIPSTER RAGE!

I saw 'The Lone Ranger' on Tuesday night and really enjoyed it. It's far from perfect, but it's not the love letter to the Holocaust that critics made it out to be either. Far from it. It's a million times more enjoyable than snoozefest World War Z, which deserves little of the critical acclaim/hundreds of millions of…

WELL. If Killer Mike condemns it, then I guess little more is left to be said.
