Wether or not you gave a review elsewhere is about what are you hoping to gain or what is your point by doing this? Why is what I'm curious about. The opening thread has your same opinion, so it is represented actually. I only have issues with you speaking for other people is all. Not that you didn't like it. It's so much more interesting to me that you have never written a review about a movie anywhere ever. And then when you do, it's to talk about about a movie you didn't like at a site where people come to discuss a director they really appreciate. Do you prefer spending your time discussing and going over things you dislike rather then dealing with things you like? This site is lacking much criticism because it's an M Night website. Thats is, a place that people most likely seek out because they are interested in him and his movies and wish to find more information and discuss him and his movies. A place where people might like the way he does things, so it's more likely there would be less criticism. Makes sense to me. Doesn't mean we dont visit other sights and know how others feel. Ofcourse, all are welcome, even those who think badly of M night and his films. But this brings me back to my point of why? I see a bad movie and I'm done with it. If don't care for someones work, I don't go to their site. I don't seek them out. I'm not saying there shouldn't be a discussion of a movie if it isn't good. If I'm at work and people are talking about a movie I didn't like, I might discuss it then. But why SEEK OUT a place like this to register and then spend time writing first review ever!!?!? For me, that would be a tremendous waste of time. Now if you had been a member here, it would be different because coming here to talk about his movies would be the norm. It would be what you choose to do with your spare time, probably because you like him. Hopefully this makes sense. To repeat, I don't know what you hope to gain. We have all read bad reviews. Alot of people mention them in other topics.
As far as M Mnights role, I was pointing out that alot of people said what you said because of the very fact that so many with the same opinion does give the greivance more credibility. That is why I said part of me wishes that someone else had played the role, so that all that those who had a problem with it wouldn't have a problem with it. I wish that because I do give that opinion credibility. It doesn't mean that it's the only opinion about that matter.
If you know for a fact how every person in the audience you were with felt, that's another story. I just didn't know that you knew exactly how ever single person in your audience felt. I guess that's my bad.
I cry during the part where he heals story and talks about how he regrets not being able to help his family when they were murdered and how much he misses them. It's also very moving to me that he does it in front of all those people and that all these people are coming together to help someone, even though the circumstances seem so insane.
I never said you should have joined first and made stuff up. You have every right to join just to give a bad review. It just comes across as suspicious. If thinking something is suspicious makes me Hitler, then, well what does someone say to that exactly? You didn't come here to make friends and talk about something that you have in common with others. So my first thought is why do this.
