The Worst Movie Critic Ever?

[occulum]

some people wake up every morning to just hate on everything and bring those around them down into the ____ty life they live and create for themselves.
Some of them are active members here.

This one just happens to have the access to post movie reviews online.

His schtick works though, I wouldn't have even known about him were it not for the comments in this thread.

His 15 minute clock is ticking.

I hope so. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Armond White&defid=408229

90% of the world wakes up every morning to just hate on everything and bring those around them down into the ____ty life they live and create for themselves.

Fixed and agreed.

This fits the person I mentioned beforehand 100%.

It's well known that he reviews like this to get hits on his site.

Interesting. It's working cause I am starting to read all of his reviews.

His There Will Be Blood review:
"'No!' is the first word spoken in There Will Be Blood, and it should be the last said in response to Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest pretend epic."

I hate all critics who hate on Avatar....









Calm down, I was joking.

I hate this critic more.

Reading some of his reviews are hilarious! And not in a good way...he says about GI Joe: Rise of the Cobra:

"G.I. Joe must be understood as an authentic measurement of our cultural values. Its appeal to the pop-commercial synapses also demonstrates livelier filmmaking than such utter banality as Iron Man and Star Trek and Harry Potter’s Half-Blooded Chintz."

i guess you can see gives out goodies and who don't

Armond takes himself very seriously. He also tends to hate what everyone loves and loves what everyone hates. It's no different than loving something just because everyone loves it. He follows the pattern, simply in reverse. I honestly think he believes that if everyone likes something it must automatically be bad, because they aren't as smart as he is. They are, after all, the unwashed masses. This is not all that unusual for a New York based movie critic, but he takes it to the extreme. And yes, I'd gladly say he's the worst movie critic out there right now, except I can generally use his reviews to be sure whether or not I'll like something. If he gives it a bad review, it's a must see for me! And anything he gives a good review, I know I can steer clear of. What more can you ask?

I love all the movies in bold. The others I actually haven't seen yet.
Man, I must be a bad movie watcher according to him.

EDIT: It seems like he hates almost every film nominated for best picture this year. What does he consider best picture then? In addition, he doesn't seem to like a single Pixar film. YIKES!

 

[EVILFACE]

I'm sure he does it for attention, which you all are giving him.

 

[Devil_666]

I love all the movies in bold. The others I actually haven't seen yet.

Watch "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead". Good movie.

 

[UTtoyfan]

Watch "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead". Good movie.

It's so funny you mentioned that one out of all the other ones because it's one of the discs I currently have at home from Netflix!

 

[NASEDO]

I didn't like "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead". It was ok, nothing special.

As far as this reviewer, it would be nice to see everyone ignore him. Its obvious he's a troll.

 

[Darth_Fatso]

He reminds me of a co-worker I used to have that "hated" pretty much anything that was popular among most people because he thought it made him look cool or something.

 

[tylerdurden]

yep, this guy's a troll for sure.

the other "film critic" on rotten tomatoes i despise is nick schaeger of slant magazine. if a film scores a 99% fresh rating, u can be sure the one single negative review will be his.

please do not look him or his reviews up. don't wanna give this guy any more hits.

 

[LChinoz]

Watch "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead". Good movie.

Agreed. And Marissa Tomei, I must say, is stunning at her age.

 

[ironwez20]

Well i know his story, You see his wife loved movies and somtimes would review them on her blog but he hated all these movies and criticized her for liking them so she left him and now to get revenge he has sworn to give a bad review to every movie he would think she would like. I no it sounds stupid but its true lol. No its not.

 

[Devil_666]

Agreed. And Marissa Tomei, I must say, is stunning at her age.

And she looked even better (imo) in The Wrestler.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

Totally agree.

Agreed. And Marissa Tomei, I must say, is stunning at her age.

YES!!!! She's so fine!!! Also, so is Sandra Bullock!! For 45 years old I would:
