>NOTHING CONFIRMS RAMPANT STUPIDITY FASTER...
Than reading reviews of my own movies. I usually try to avoid the experience - but this one takes the cake. Often, to my great amusement, a critic will mention my past films in glowing terms, when at the time those same films were savaged, as if to highlight the critic's flawed belief of my descent into mediocrity. You see, my dear fellow FBookers, I have rarely gotten great reviews… on any of my movies, apart from those by reviewers who think for themselves and make up their own opinions. Sadly those type of reviewers are nearly all dead. Good reviews often come many years after the movie has opened. I guess I have the knack of rubbing reviewers the wrong way - always have. This time of course they have bigger axes to grind - they can rip into my movie while trying to make their mainly pale asses look so politically correct by screaming "white-wash!!!” like the deranged idiots they all are. They fail to understand, or chose to pretend to not understand what this movie is, so as to serve some bizarre consensus of opinion which has nothing to do with the movie at all. That’s ok, this modern age of texting will probably make them go the way of the dinosaur or the newspaper shortly - don't movie-goers text their friends with what they thought of a movie?

>>66537772
>Seems most critics spend their time trying to work out what most people will want to hear. How do you do that? Why these days it is so easy... just surf the net to read other reviews or what bloggers are saying - no matter how misguided an opinion of a movie might be before it actually comes out. Lock a critic in a room with a movie no one has even seen and they will not know what to make of it. Because contrary to what a critic should probably be they have no personal taste or opinion, because they are basing their views on the status quo. None of them are brave enough to say “well I like it” if it goes against consensus. Therefore they are less than worthless. Now that anyone can post their opinion about anything from a movie to a pair of shoes to a hamburger, what value do they have - nothing. Roger Ebert wasn’t bad. He was a true film lover at least, a failed film-maker, which gave him a great deal of insight. His passion for film was contagious and he shared this with his fans. He loved films and his contribution to cinema as a result was positive. Now we have a pack of diseased vultures pecking at the bones of a dying carcass. Trying to peck to the rhythm of the consensus. I applaud any film-goer who values their own opinion enough to not base it on what the pack-mentality say is good or bad.
>>66537772
He's not wrong, GOE maybe unintentional comedy of the year, but I wouldn't look to the same people that gave iron man 3 and Indy 4 a positive review
fucking based
Knowing's finale was pretty good
right, because if it's a bad review, the critic is an idiot If it's a good review, obviously that critic is right.
Who the fuck is this kike?
>>66537823
>I wouldn't look to the same people that gave iron man 3 and a positive review

>>66537916
>muh mandarin
Fuck off, that shit was the least of that bullshit movies problems. I had I idea that fucker was supposed to be chinese
>>66537916
I went into IM3 not knowing who the mandarin was supposed to be.
The movie is still shit.
I'm a big fan of Proyas since Dark City. The funny thing about this whole thing is that he's ACTUALLY FUCKING EGYPTIAN YOU IGNORANT FUCKING AMERICAN KEKS
Can liberal americans stop sucking black cock? Half the reviews on rt are just "lol whitewashing so bad".
This guy has always sucked. Dark City is just a fedora tip version of the Matrix.
He's 100% of right.
The fact that a person like pic related gets paid to PROFESSIONALLY review films and his opinion holds critical weight on a site like RT that influences how films are perceived by the public that is making a choice whether or not to see it is fucking ludicrous. I'm fine with Ebert on the whole but this dumbing down of knowledge of the form and emphasis on "emotion" and "heart" has become a fucking cancer. Snark is the worst thing to happen to criticism in all of its forms.
>>66537994
The Matrix is the fedora version of the Matrix tho.
>>66538007
but being overly negative is so funneh! xD
i like when reviewers are shouting and nasty about films its soooooo good lol
>racist cracker whitesplaining
smdh
>>66537772
this dude is based as fuck I'll check his other movies
>>66537772
He is right though. I wouldn't be surprised if you rewatched this movie ten years from now you discover that behind the horrible studio marketing, there actually is a descent story in the movie. I havent seen the movie, but it wouldn't be the first time a studio wanted to create something generic cause suits lack creativity, but the director actually managed to pull off something descent. So I hope this movie might be more than just a wannabe immortals movie behind all the fucking horrible poster designs.
>>66538007
Has it been declared by law that every movie review now has to be like the ones on badassdigest or ain't it cool news? That's fucking abysmal and embarrasing drivel there.
>>66537772
Who's surprised ? I mean, he made the crow FFS. Can't be gayer.
It's not the critic's fault you make shit movies, m8.
And your films aren't going to be praised as masterpieces a decade after they're released.
He's right to some extent. Some films fall through the cracks to be rediscovered. Some films are released at a time in which, for whatever reason, the public isn't ready to catch the greatness within it. Some films are simply divisive, with critics and audiences in disagreement about a film, yet all sitting down to watch it.
This guy's movies are just bad. That's why critics trash his movies.
>>66537772
I like a lot of Proya's movies. Even ones like I Robot and Knowing have a strange artificial beauty to them.
But God's of Egypt is just bad. There are no redeeming qualities to it. Sorry.
>>66538007
I'm am entirely convinced that instead of seeing Gods of Egypt this reviewer and half of the others sat at home for the hour and a half and tried to come up with the snarkiest most attention grabbing vague put down review blurb possible.
>>66538188
Shut your fucking mouth. The crow is holy on /tv and you know it. Some shitposting just goes too far.
He's right of course, but watching /pol/tards on this board agree with him even though they obviously disagree with him is cringeworthy. If you're calling him "based" 10 minutes after your 10,000th shitpost movie "review" where you whined about how it didn't push your boring identity politics, kill yourself. You don't agree with him, he's literally making fun of you.
>>66538189
Dark city....
The crow....
>>66537916
I rewatched and the movie is pretty good as a standalone mvie, the pacing, the dialogue, the action sequences are decent.
The problem as a comic fan is they bastardize IM characters (Mostly IM and Mandarin, but Killian and Pepper too to some extent) and made IM suits pretty much useless in that movie, so I can understand why people hate so much the movie.
>>66538238
>>66538238
The Crow is an incoherent mess.
>B-B-BUT BRANDON LEE DIED!
Heath Legend died. TDK is still an excellent film.
>>66538303
Who gives a shit about Brandon.
An intelligent action movie? Something a virgin can never understand
>>66537772
>the guy who killed Brandon Lee gets upset no one like his stupid, run of the mill action movie
Sit down, Alex.
>>66537823
>>66537916
>>66537949
>>66537962
But guys.... IM3 could have put the shit into capeshit, but if you just watch it as an action comedy, it does its job. That movie was really fucking funny sometimes. It was written like an action comedy, and it sold me on the comedy. Not even cucking here, I thought it was generally charming.
Isn't that called personal opinion or something? Which kinda leads to us all being individuals rather than being drones to some form of thought that people circle jerk around.
>>66538248
reread you're post
>>66538261
Dark City is pretty good, but if I remember right that got a shit-load of critical praise. Didn't Roger Ebert call it one of the greatest Sci-Fi movies of all-time?
The Crow sucks.
Plus, both of those movies were made nearly 20 years ago. The guy hasn't made a good, nevermind decent, movie in a long time.
>>66538225
Reminds me of how after Moviebob's review of Pixels- which was just a lot of snarky profanities strung together- got him some minor attention in the media, he pathetically tried to make that his new schtick, like in the review he did on Fantastic 4.
>>66538338

The director's cut of Dark City is a classic.
And all I want from him is to re-master and release the workprint version of The Crow on BluRay.
Don't give a shit about his other films. And Gods of Egypt looks like shit.
>>66538499
>reading comprehension
I was talking about no one liking GoE, not The Crow.
>>66538453
Me. And most people who have a basic grasp on film grammar.
>>66538467
Yeah. They grow up to like stuff like "intelligent" action movies because it makes them feel less like the oversized children they are. Normal people don't care.
Funny that he says Ebert is the critic that others should observe and follow and, yet, Ebert was the person who popularized making a "10 Worst Films of the Year" list annually as a way to get revenge on the films he felt wasted his time and insulted his intelligence.
We kind of owe the legacy of critics doling out scathing reviews of bad movies to Roger. Although he was a lot more eloquent and knowledgeable when he slammed a movie than the sugar-pop comic book kids who review movies today and wouldn't know cinema if they walked in on it plowing their mothers.
>>66538411
ebin
>>66537772
He's right, but at the same time his movies are generally mediocre.
Professional film criticism is trash, Ebert most definitely included.
>>66538572
Why involve Brandon Lee in it then you nigger?
>>66537772
he's pretty based to be honest senpaitachi
Oh hey I saw this movie. It's ok. It's super rough at parts and it's one big cgi fuckfest but as far as cgi fuckfests go it's alright. It's surprisingly faithful to Egyptian Mythology but it's to a fault since it assumes you're semi-familiar with it as well, which most people aren't.
It's not a great movie and honestly, I don't even think it's a good movie but it doesn't deserve the hate it gets. It's ok to rent for a night.
Set ripping the one broad's wings off was kind of cool.
>>66538606
>Star Wars worshipping virgin detected.
>Didn't like the Crow, cause not enough action, too much talking
>Its like talking to women, its boring. Why won't they have sex with you already, like in the pornos?
>>66538639
Because Alex Proyas killed him and is now whining about people not liking his dumb movies.
Anything else you need spoonfed for you?
>>66538610
Probably because Ebert had a massive hard-on for Proyas. He even gave Knowing a positive review.
>>66538688
But him killing Brandon Lee has nothing to do with his movies being bad.

>>66538303
>The Crow is an incoherent mess.
How so? What were you confused about?
>>66537772
He's 100% right. Film critique has turned into nothing but a popularity contest that loves to bandwagon and pander to pleb sensibilities. The hacks engaging in the "DAE THINK LE GODS OF LE EGYPTS IS LE WORST. MOVIE. EVAR?! xD UPBOAT IF U AGREE!" circlejerk are the same bottomfeeding trash that give capeshit joints like Deadpool 10/10 reviews and think Leo deserved an oscar. The whole industry peddles inane, self confirming garbage and I can't wait for it to collapse.
>>66538744
He didn't understand what was happening during the rape. Why were the man grinding up against the lady? And why was she upset about it?
>>66538686
Wrong on all accounts. I'm pretty tired of Star Wars. Haven't even seen TFA. And I haven't seen the Crow either.
All I'm saying is that somebody priding themselves for liking "intelligent action movies" is more likely to be a 20+ virgin than someone who doesn't care.
I'm convinced all the liberal film critics are shitting on the movie because the main actors are white.
I'm Friends With Him On Facebook and That Shits A Little Fucking Ridiculous
>>66538850
they really are. If you read most of the RT "reviews" they all basically bash it for "white washing" and then toss in a sentence or two about the actual plot/acting/directing/etc movie.
>>66538806
>priding themselves for liking "intelligent action movies" is more likely to be a 20+ virgin
Its ok to be a virgin anon, no reason to get upset about it.
Smart movies stimulate the mind, many people like it, like an intelligent conversation. If you like explosions video games, thats your choice. And being shy of women is a personality trait, not reason to hate yourself for it
Say:
>I'm proud of who I am, I love myself no matter what
>I'm special, I'm kind, I'm beautiful, I'm strong!
>>66538890
WAZH
>>66538917
Not only them. About 50% of all comments for any given video or article about GoE have to mention the "awful white washing".
>>66537772
His movie might be shit but everything he is saying is 100% correct.
>>66538727
>But him killing Brandon Lee has nothing to do with his movies being bad.
Well, it's a good thing I never said that, you mong.
All I did is point out he killed a dude and is now crying on facebook because critics aren't being nice. That really seemed to trigger you.

Nah, The Crow is a good movie. The lead was charismatic and could pull off the physical aspect, and the movie looked really good. The bad guys were well acted and somewhat memorable (and an actual threat the the hero, as opposed to most post-2000 capeshit).

Le contractarian 4chan strikes again! Holy fuck if the lead was Black the reaction to the reviews would have been unbridled ebullience.
I learned that movie critics were almost all full of shit when I was 15. Because I wanted to see Butterfly Effect and I couldn't find a single review anywhere that actually talked about the movie. Instead it was just review after review of making fun of Ashton Kutcher for daring to be in a sci fi drama instead of a slacker comedy. I could not find a single review that was not centered on shitting all over Kutcher's career with maybe 3 sentences at most to describe the movie.
Butterfly Effect turned out to be pretty forgettable but I'll never forget the lesson it taught me about how shitty "critics" are.

he is totally right, most critics gave negative reviews to stories that they already have seen without trying to judge the films for what they are.
Non jaded audiences can still enjoy certain films.
I think that Jumper is a fun movie just on visuals alone, the same goes for Spirit of Vengeance as a dumb action film, but they were torn apart for not aiming at getting an oscar basically.
there are dumb good movies out there, not everything has to be oscar bait material
He is right about everything.
>>66537772

just watched a trailer of it, looks pretty good actually
