Yeah, my dad hated the film. He's not a big super hero movie fan, although he enjoyed Ant Man, but he hated AOU. He's in his late 60's, so he hates CGI, especially the big battle scene because he felt he was watching a cartoon...plus it was messy and not very interesting or engaging. He also hated the Nolan Batman films, he thought TDK was boring. He fell asleep watching it

) but also a tad naive. She gives everyone the benefit of the doubt in ways which my battle-fatigued self cannot. In response to those attacking Zack so savagely, she said "I know he won't, but what if all of this got to him and he hurt himself or something. Then they'd feel bad for being so hateful over movies." It was then that it dawned on me... You know, I think some of them would actually LIKE for that to happen. And then I realized how far this has all gone now. It started with Lucas and the prequels, people taking things way too seriously and crossing the line with ad hominem attacks toward people who did nothing more than create something they don't like. What started this disturbing trend (which is seemingly just getting worse) Is it Social Media? The Internet itself? Mob Mentality? Or is an illumination on society itself? Who knows. But I know this: People need to start waking up to the fact that when negative energy is put out there to this degree, it's going to affect someone personally somewhere. Unfortunately, I know that there are some who LOVE that idea... that the're own vitriol can go out into the ethos and hurt someone. But is this really what we want? I really wish people would start thinking about this more.
That wasn't an indictment on anyone in this thread, necessarily... Just things on the whole right now. The online movie blogger reviewers are particularly who I'm referring to. Like Faraci. That ****** is burning more bridges than the Indo-Chinese Army during WW2.
What an insufferable group of "Too Cool For School" bullies. Sorry, but I'll happily be on the other side from here on out.
Dropping back in here one last time to comment and share something.
I contacted Zack earlier to let him know that I'm still personally proud of him and have his back. We knew the movie would have its detractors (particularly among online critics who'd been sharpening the knives for months), but nobody expected this level of vitriol toward the film, and him personally. He's actually taking it pretty well, much better than some of us. It's amazing the savage beating that he and the movie are taking. To the point where it becomes unbelievable when you step back and realize that we're really just talking about a harmless movie here. To have that much anger, negativity and invective toward something like this with everything else going on in the world is really quite depressing. We're all fine with people not liking these movies, but lines are starting to be crossed now... and that's not cool.
Afterward, I talked to my girlfriend about it. She's a kind, sweet soul (much moreso than me
I'm just a freelance PR writer (press kits and such). But I became friends with Zack after working with him on WATCHMEN promotions back in 2008-2009. We met through a mutual friend (Clay Enos, who is his Still Photographer).What exactly do you do in the film industry that you know Snyder and know so much about the film...if I may ask?
If I had to rate AOU today it would definately be lower than my initial review.
I gave it a B +.
Now it would be a solid C +.
I said solid!

As for your last question, I probably know way too much.

Truth be told, people like Zack and Ben Affleck have very thick skin and aren't quite as personally affected by all the noise and negativity, thank God. But it's hard for people like me, because I'm really just a "normal dude" like you guys and so I'm in the thick of the maelstrom. I'm one of you, not some Hollywood big shot, so I can't shield myself this stuff unless I completely disengage from fandom (which I admittedly do from time to time, just to stay sane... and also to prevent myself from running my big mouth
That said, I've also stepped away from Facebook and Twitter for a while as of today. It's better that way.
Hey, do you think WB is worried about the reviews?
