thats good enough. I knew it though, people would be scared, some of the positives sound pretty negative
It is unusual, that the rotten reviews seem overwhelmingly negative while a lot of the fresh reviews are mixed. I don't know, if I were a BvS fan this would be a better argument for an unfair score than "Disney paid off the critics".
Studio underlings asked to "review" the movie... who the hell else has seen it?

yes, exactly..Lots of people stateside seem to have pretended to see it, to ***** about it. Including a couple I've read on here.
Truth is only reviewers and insiders have seen the movie in the US. They have allegedly even started a hate campaign on IMDB, to knock it.
Sad world we live in that people get off on this kind of thing.
One movie allegedly portraying white men as dummies and the white male privilege machine goes into overdrive

The movie is most certainly not crap. Many were saying it was going to be crap. Many promised is was going to be crap. It's not crap. That there is something the man babies are going to have to deal with. Though watch how many reviews will get accused of being paid off by some.
Well the theatre I was in laughed as did I so I guess you just didn't find it funny. Men have a looooong ways to go before the sexism cards are equal. When things are more even between the sexes then and only then do you have a point or take offense. But it is a ways of yet before men being objectified comes even remotely close to amount of times or how women are objectifed on screen and in general.
Not sure if that was aimed at me or what point you are making here but I highly doubt your name is greygoose or you look like Walt. My name is actually Eamon and that picture of me describes how I look too. I ain't hiding. Maybe I read your post wrong?
It's beyond sad really dude. Apparently we are wrong for thinking this way though. Let them hate and continue to embarrass themselves. This stuff is out there for the world to read and can enjoy for parody purposes. Actually I can imagine it will be long before some comedy sketch is out there parodying the man babies.

Exactly - it's an internet forum where people hide behind usernames and a keyboard. Compared to facebook and YouTube comments sections Freaks is quite tame.

From a few of the reviews I've read they say that the film isn't "feminist enough" kind of leaving open opportunities shy and playing it safe for the most part, so I have a feeling that those who are on the "this hates men" bus won't have much traction. From the previews the film looks disjointed to me and it's expensive to hit the movie theater so I'll be passing but I look forward to watching it on HBO or Netflix.

I think its a non issue. It's like white people complaining about white rights.
The trailer is a bad trailor so if you judge the movie on that then you will think it's disjointed but it actually flows well. It's not as naturally flowing or as subtle as the original but it's not disjointed. At least that's my opinion. Other opinions are available of course.
It's probably my sense of humour. Just didn't find it funny.
The sexism cards are a long way for being equal, I agree and I don't care if men are objectified in movies or what ever. Sure look at Magic Mike doesn't bother me and women love it, fair play.
What bothers me is when a director and cast attack fans of the original movies and call it sexism and keyboard warriors etc. and then stick that in the movie. Bit of a double standard there.
This movie had/has an opportunity to define some young girls childhoods and create new idols for them growing up just like the originals did for most of us.
I honestly think they missed a few opportunities in there.

Well I know that many little girls love it and even when Kevin Smith (who also liked it) saw girls dressed up as GB going nuts for the movie. I went with three women and they all loved it. So not sure where you are getting that idea from at all.
I also do not see a double standard here. You are acting like there has't been massive sexist bile and bollocks aimed at the cast and creators of this movie. It was one throw away line and it was well deserved and funny as the reactions this movie are utterly ridiculous and should be made fun of at the very least.
Am I supposed to be impressed by what Kevin Smith liked or saw?
You don't see the double standard, that's not my problem either. It's there.
I know all the crap they were getting. Never acted like that never happened. They are not the first celebs to get **** written about them and they won't be the the last. It's the sad world we live in. They have to suck it up and if it gets worse than people writing words about them then get the law involved.
For the record I never wrote **** about any of them and I won't. I waited until I saw the movie to post my opinion about it.
All I'll say now is I hope the next movie is a hell of a lot better and Paul Feig has nothing to do with it.
So have any non-SJW's actually liked this movie? Even here in this thread all I see from people defending it is the same "you're a sexist loser if you don't think this movie will be good" BS that we've been hearing from the cast and director.
I still have yet to read a single post of anyone ever saying "I refuse to see this film because it has women in it." People (myself included) love seeing torches being passed from male to female heroes. We live in the age of Furiosa and Rey for crying out loud. Kinda blows up the whole claim that "men can't handle women taking over previously male dominated franchises."

wanna know what I find funny? this:
there was never going to be a fair review from anybody, from ANYONE, the haters would hate on it, and the apologists would defend it, heres the proof.

Nope. You said they missed an opportunity and I just gave examples of why that's not accurate.
A double standard would apply if the sides were equal. They are not equal and will not be equal for some time. Women get objectified far more than men and have been for centuries. Men have a very long ways to go before they have any right moan about being objectified.
You act like every other movie or actor gets the same level of grief as GB has and that is just not true at all. What is happening with GB is completely off the scale and unprecedented. That's not my opinion but a fact.
I wanna see what other youtube reviews say. at least a couple, i dont think that Comicbookgirl19 with the orange hair will lie and say she liked it if she didnt. I dont know, it is hard to know who is giving an unbiased review

I just hope IrishJedi hasn't had a stroke after seeing both Faraci and Kevin Smith liked the movie.

Broke and happy
So from what I gather,
4 known funny actresses in their other movies being not so funny in this movie thanks to a poor script.
Hemsworth is kinda funny.
Good to great special effects.
Better than GB2 but will always live in the shadow of the 1st.
If money is made hopefully a better sequel is churned out, this time with 4 transgender Ghostbusters.
