Yes, /co/ has no way of telling the future. Something may look good in the previews/trailer and then turn out to be total shit.

The second part only happens if its popular
>>78619234
Usually the haters don't take over right away, it takes them a while. The better the thing is the longer it takes the haters to really flood. Otherwise they're just largely ignored. Look at TWS, it's only just now getting hate. That took a damned long time.
>>78619234
If it's successful, expect people to hate it regardless of quality.
Like whatever the fuck you want to like. Don't let anonymous fuckers on the internet dictate your tastes/
Only thing better than hyping it up is tearing it down.

>implying we all agree on things
Look OP, I'm really sorry to hear that you got upset when someone called your favorite movie an overrated pretentious piece of shit, but don't blame the board or our culture. People are entitled to their opinion, man
>>78622337
Yeah, that's actually much more accurate. Not just for /co/ either, that goes for all of 4chan except /tv/, where everything's always shit.
>>78622513
except for little girls
>>78619444
Yep there are so many other times when its called too cluttered, the writer/director is a failure who deserves no chance, or something along those lines. Followed by being justified in saying it was gonna be terrible before.

That's rich coming from a Pepe posting faggot.

Things that are popular are almost universally bad, though.
Mainstream appeal can only be achieved by lacking depth, since the mainstream consumer doesn't want depth. If the average consumer is capable of understanding something it's almost always a sign that it's lacking in substance with few exceptions - and in the cases of those exceptions, it's because the general public is misinterpreting the message of a smart work that they don't actually get.
Avoiding things with mainstream appeal isn't pretension, it's being a smart consumer. Have you met the average person? They're fucking stupid. They like stupid things. They consume stupid media, and they reject smart media.
Don't mistake this as me saying that everything that's critically acclaimed is bad, since critics and mainstream audiences are generally on separate wavelengths, but everything that's mainstream is near universally also bad.

I never understood why Vader has a harmonica mounted inside his helmet.

>Did you even watch the movie?
>Now that the dust has cleared, can we all agree that...
>Fuck you, I liked it
>There will be a sequel if the first film makes enough money
>The film is good because it's making a lot of money
>The film is bad because it has a low RottenTomatoes score
>The film will be bad because it reminds me of similar films that I didn't like
