So instead I’m going to try something a little different. In an upcoming blog post I will talk about how much I dislike negative reviews and see them contributing little to the overall enjoyment of films and very much find them annoying. Now usually I don’t like to be negative about movies. I actually went in with high hopes believing that despite it’s status as a box office flop (think the shiny but little seen goodness of Pacific Rim… ok maybe not quite that good) that it was somehow still a decent movie. Despite very much liking the actors Stanley Tucci, Ewan McGregor, and Nicholas Hoult, the movie managed to swallow them up in unconvincing CGI, lackluster dialogue, and sorry under-characterization. Well now I know what it’s like to be on the other side.

Often times I find myself reading scathing reviews after the movie (to be explained soon in a blog post) wondering how the reviewer can see so differently than I do. I don’t care if it’s a big silly spectacle, usually I can find a way to enjoy it. It seems like every time a big expensive action/sci-fi/fantasy/comic book movie comes out I am excited to see it. Tonight we finally made up for that missed opportunity by renting it at home. It does not store any personal data.A few months ago my wife and I went to see Jack the Giant Slayer in theaters but tickets were sold out that night so we ended up doing something else.
