Listen, it’s confirmation that anyone on staff gives articles a second thought after they’re published. I consider that a happy surprise. 

Hopefully just an oversight to be corrected going forward.

Is this very long? A.A. Dowd’s last review, of The Batman, was 1170 words. That’s a far longer than his first review of Iron Man 3* at 505 words, but it’s about a hundred words longer than this one. Maybe you could argue that The Batman deserves more space than a smaller movie like this (I’d disagree), or maybe you…

It is inevitable that when things change, some people will like the changes, and some people will not. Personally, I really like the long reviews.

Because they don't have editors. The writer has some talent but desperately needs an editor.

This review is painfully overwritten.

I come here to get an idea if the movie is worth seeing or not

Why are AVClub movie reviews so loooong now?

In spite of the distressingly familiar practice of audiences mercilessly tearing down filmmakers after they’ve put them on a pedestal (witness Taika Waititi)

I wouldn’t write it off based on this one review. Every other one I’ve read has been pretty overwhelmingly positive. Kotaku has become notorious for writing negative, condescending, clickbait titles since the scandal a few years back and subsequent staff changes. I only come to scan headlines and see if I’ve missed…

Politics likely played more of a role than his “star power”.

In 1994, Tim Allen had the #1 movie, #1 show and #1 book in the same week (The Santa Clause, Home Improvement and Don’t Stand Too Close To A Naked Man, respectively.)

Oh for shits sake. Not to get into this particular firefight, but so would millions of yours for the conservative hunting permit, so why don’t we all just agree that everyone just hates everyone else, and there are no exceptions to any rules anymore.

In contrast to those people who brand ALL “conservative” people non-human assholes, we conservatives do not label ALL trans people crazy because of this lone incident. Thats the difference.

I’m just going to come out and say it:

I really don’t understand this marketing campaign for The Flash.

She got caught repeatedly lying and only one person admitted to ever hurting the other. She had no evidence that he laid a hand on her, and she recorded him A LOT.

Sorry, but I disagree. The fact you believe men only can be toxic, just for being men, and this woman can’t be toxic, manipulative or violent, just for the fact she is a woman, it’s the worse case of mysoginy.

She is vilified not because she is ‘not perfect’ or that because she ‘misspoke because it was painful’, but because it was proven that she has repeatedly lied and manipulated many people around her. And, what is even more important, it was clearly shown before the court that she abused him as well. For crying out…

Disney Exec: We can’t afford a new robot. Is Amber Heard still under contract?

re-read the article, paying attention to tone.
