Comment on There exist people who will go through the effort of leaving their home, traveling to a movie theatre, paying for a ticket, and sitting for 2-3 hours for a movie they claim "nobody wants to see"

  If only there was a place people could discuss the goodness of a movie and look at how other people found their experience, before buying a ticket oneself.

    If only everyone shared exactly the same opinions on everything cuz you still run into the same problem when people say it’s good, but then you don’t agree after seeing it yourself.

      This.

      Some of my favorite movies are “bad” movies. I’ve got a friend who feels the same way and we SMS each other single line movie titles and just know the other will understand.

      A recent SMS was “poultrygeist night of the chicken dead” … It was fantastic

      A well written review will detail why they thought it was good, so the reader can think about if those reasons would make it enjoyable for them.

      Unfortunately, most people are semi literate and writing at that level is a challenge

      I’ve always thought that if you share an opinion on a movie, you should also share your reasons for having it.

  Yes but I’m talking about people who were complaining at the first trailer “nobody wants this” and still go to the effort of seeing it. Typically happens with remakes and sequels.

    I think there are some people that don’t like things and they don’t want anyone to like things either.

    Yeah there are a lot of a super hero slop movies built on an assembly line, but to someone out there, a favorite character or story they liked as a kid is real for 2 hours. Maybe they got teased for loving Shazam, and now they are grown and can just leave their problems behind and watch a dumb Shazam movie.

    I always think every movie that gets made is sort of a miracle. Hundreds, sometimes thousands, of people work on a piece of art and they have to compromise or it doesn’t happen. That’s so rare in our world.
