| Posted by: Josh at January 15, 2008, 2:28 am | | Topic: In the Name of the King- Discuss it! Forum: Film Hobbit | | Here's the thing about the people who comment on RT... They hate anything that doesn't agree with the critical consensus. It doesn't matter what you actually say about a movie, it doesn't matter if it's good or not, doesn't matter if your review is positive, all they care about is that your review falls in line with what everyone else is saying. The weird irony of all those regular RT users is that they only READ reviews which don't agree with the Tomameter. So while they bitch a lot, they actually support people who disagree with their preconcieved notions of what a review should be, and shun anyone who says what they want them to. I'm sure they have no idea they are doing this, but it's a wonderful irony. If I'd written a negative review of In the Name of the King, none of them would have ever read it. | | Static Link |

Forum: Film Hobbit | | I've gotta say Josh looking at the comments at RT have made me strangely proud of you. I was shocked as anyone when I saw the review. But you stuck to your guns. Good job buddy. I say all of this because I'm now going to post my favorite RT comments. God you would have thought you killed Christ. "I always said that every critic will make a mistake at least once in their career but this is a catastrophe of a mistake." "By giving this a positive review, you have labelled yourself the worst movie critic of all time." "How high were you when you saw the movie?" (This seems to be the question on everyone's list) and finally..... "......A$$" I'm still not sure what that means. And lastly was the movie anything like the following cause then I may have to see it. | | Static Link |

I'm sure you're going to be shredded for it across the board just cause it's a Boll flick. I can't stand most the people that post at RT and imdb, etc. I'm sure it's chaos. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Josh at January 11, 2008, 11:52 pm | | Topic: In the Name of the King- Discuss it! Forum: Film Hobbit | | It's the lowest positive rating I can give a movie at least. You should see the comments being left for me on RT, I'm getting absolutely shredded. But not by anyone who has seen the movie... figures. So far by the way, I think I'm the only critic anywhere to give it a positive review. | | Static Link |

I really think the thing that made this movie as enjoyable as it was, was because of Boll's directing. The script was crap, the actors were poorly chosen, but the movie is as lot of fun. He does a decent job with the action sequences on a limited budget, and the movie's just entertaining. | | Static Link |

Hey look at this, another 0% RT rating that went up due to CB! I have a feeling the regulars will want your blood Josh... could you be the next Hammond? | | Static Link |
