He specifically cited the coconut horses as being stupid. I try to be open minded and not judgmental about people anyone and especially those who share my passions but I just couldn’t ignore how god awful of a take that was.

Heinlein did social science science fiction. Starship Troopers speculated about a world where fascism and the industrial military complex that was ascending at the time continued that rise. Stranger in a Strange Land examined a future where beatnik/hippies became the norm. The moon is a harsh mistress speculates about a society based on libertarianism. All have flaws but they were earnest attempts to extrapolate different social theories into the future. Starshp Troopers though gained the largest audience though because Heinlein also did an amazing job of inventing the Gorilla suit. Its invention and the fight against aliens was supposed to be a McGuffin to examine fascism but people embraced the McGuffin over the theme. I don't blame them either. The story is a compelling page turner.

It was a little more than an exploration of different social theories... Splitting into multiple comments because it's a bit hard to follow. [1] When Heinlein began writing he was in an open marriage with a full-blown communist, and had just been through a beef with the Navy who refused him promotions because he was too left-wing-leaning. This is when he wrote Stranger in a Strange Land, but could not publish it until years later after he became famous for ST. SiSL is heavily influenced by the liberal views of his wife.

Doing something people enjoy, but saying you're doing it ironically was probably the defining characteristic of the 1990s. So there's a really cool action-sci fi story with politics to make liberals' skin crawl. So do it anyway and call it "satire." "Sure, it's fascistic, but it's ironically fascistic."

As a result plenty of people went to watch it and were kind of shocked that it wasn't really that, it was more about the nature of language and perception and it gets into some way more heady shenanigans as well.

I will never forget, end of the movie in the cinema, everyone standing up and kind of shell shocked by what they had just seen and this group of older ladies in the row ahead of us whinging very loudly about the film.

Among the things she noted was that the film was “very violent” and that the target audience was “immature boys”. That “the rest of the human race will want to stay far away from this witless and cynically exploitive film”. “If there was satire in the concept, (director) Verhoeven’s bloodthirstiness destroys it”.

She went on to write, after describing the scene where Robocop shoots a would be r****t through a woman’s dress (and hits his… uh… *privates*): “Humor like this is fit only for the likes of Klaus Barbie and Rudolf Hess”.

My guess is she didn’t like it.

30 “I’m Sorry, What!?” Takes On Movies By People Who Missed The Point, As Shared Online I got two of them, both regarding *The Batman:*

1. "The Riddler just suddenly turned evil by flooding the city when he had only been reasonably killing corrupt people beforehand." Ignoring the fact that he forced a man to drive into a crowded church earlier, almost killing a boy, and that he also targeted Bruce Wayne out of nothing more than self-admitted jealousy, the problem with this take is that Riddler wasn't targeting people out of a sense of justice or righteousness. At his core, he's an angry manchild lashing out against everyone he perceived as having wronged him, regardless of how justified it was. It's the extreme side to vengeance, a path that Batman learns he has to avoid.
2. "Everything after Riddler’s arrest was unnecessary." The ***entire*** point of the movie was that Batman couldn't figure out why his crusade against crime so far wasn't actually making anything better. Even after the top crime boss in Gotham was eliminated, things didn't magically improve. It's only *during* the supposedly unnecessary final act when Batman realizes that he inspired people who worshipped his methods while completely misunderstanding the point ("I'm vengeance.") that he realizes that what's missing is that in addition to punishing the guilty, he also needs to start helping the innocent. Said finale also gives him the perfect opportunity to do the latter. Without the final act, the whole movie is meaningless. And honestly, the scene where Batman's helping people on the rooftop is in my opinion, one of the best scenes in cinema I've ever seen.

One of my professors in college got me into Letterbox’d and one day years later I saw he’d logged a review for Mission Impossible Fallout with one star out of five. When I read it, the review only consisted of “I can’t believe they managed to disarm the bomb with only one second left!” And like, dude? What kind of a movie did you think this was? Like, you chose to watch a Hollywood spy action blockbuster movie. Did you think it wouldn’t be like that???

It does, however, make the disarm scene in Galaxy Quest even better.

Nostalgia Critic's review of Pink Floyd's The Wall

It really is like the Room of movie reviews. Its very awe-inspiring just how wrong everything in the review is. Everything take he has on what the songs are trying to say is incorrect. And its funny because the album and movie are very tailor maid for themes, if you were teaching a history class on the cultural effects of WW2 in Great Britain, the album/movie has everything.

It mentions PTSD of the war, treating children like another cog in the wheel and the brutality of their schooling. All of these are part of the album, and every take he has is incorrect on the authors intent.

Its mindboggling that he cares so much about the movie/album to wanna make a review about it, but at the same time, cares so little as to do 0 research on what the songs might mean.

And I'm not even the biggest Pink Floyd fan, but even I know what they mean by cultural osmosis. At one point he connects modern American schooling, to the schooling in post WW2 Britain. Its ridiculous where I ask the questions like "You've been reviewing art for a living for over a decade and you don't know how brutal British school children had it after WW2? How is that even possible?"

My main takeaway from his review is that every opinion about what the music about is wrong. Adding to that is that the parody music he does is also terrible, the animation in the review is bad, EVERYTHING about it just makes me feel bad, for EVERYONE involved

Well see the first problem you have is watching The Nostalgia Critic. Opinions don't suddenly become correct just because you arbitrarily scream them out.

"Once Were Warriors will go down in history as New Zealands greatest romantic comedy."

I mean, although it's said a lot, it's said in a kiwi hard-case manner which is deeply sarcastic and delivered absolutely dead pan so that it is largely impossible to tell if it's sincere.

Not anymore, though. He's now probably playing Gwent or hosting Dungeons and Dragons adventures for those with an inclination for chaos.

Erin Brokovich: I dated a guy for a little while about 10 years ago. I rented Erin Brokovich. He hadn't seen it. He was visibly disliking it about 30 minutes in and I asked if he didn't like it. He said, "Well, I really hate chick flicks." Apparently, to him any movie where the main character is a woman is a "chick flick".

How is calling a movie boring missing the point?

Because boring is not real film criticism, it is just your opinion.

I know someone who absolutely HATED the first LOTR-movie "fellowship of the ring" because she had no freaking clue what really would happend after that. That first movie ended with Boromir getting sent down the river on the elvish boat, and then Frodo and Sam walking towards Mordor on their own. But she was sort of like "was that all?" and apparently she had no idea that there was two other movies coming out after that. She probably never heard about J. R. R. Tolkien at all, and of course never read any of the actual books. But to claim the movie was "Absolutly awful" and total garbage - only because of this - sounds a bit over-kill in my ears.

I have two for LOTR. One of my colleagues in grad school thought it was "unbelievable" because "at least one of the hobbits should have died". When I pointed out that none of the hobbits died in the books, he then said that Tolkien was wrong. Another colleague refused to see the movie at all because "elves aren't supposed to be that tall"!

When Thelma and Louise came out, a critic frothed at the mouth over it. He wrote that he could understand that a woman wrote the script, but called the male director a "gender traitor".

I saw Fellowship of the Ring a few days after it came out. When the credits rolled (just as Frodo and Sam were setting off for Mordor), a guy behind me said, loudly "Wait, that's it?" His friend whispered, "You didn't read the books, did you?"

Guys, personal preferences are a real thing. Those who hate horror movies (or fantasy or sci-fi or whatever) will probably hate any movie on the genre(s), no matter how good. Then there are the individual prejudices, like being against women or POC as main protagonists. Honestly, their loss. That said, I think this article was meant to be about those who totally missed the message of a movie they may have enjoyed if they understood it. By that standard, more than half of the posts here don't apply, even if I rolled my eyes at all of them.

I saw someone review Genndy Tartakovsky's primal as "Creationist propoganda" or something like that because it had cavemen with dinosaurs and stuff. Its a fantasy. I mean, the second season had all kinds of mixed up time periods and stuff.

Have one from me. The movie Titanic would be so much better if every scene containing Leonardo Dicaprio was removed.

Watched I.Robot at the premiere, went to the bathroom after and there were two girls complaining about the film. Idiot #1 ”It was so stupid because he was racist to all the robots and then he was a robot!” Idiot #2 ”What? He can not be racist because he is black”

I read a review for The Sandlot that complained about the unrealistic portrayal of the neighbor's dog, completely missing the representation was of the boys' perception. Brilliant movie, dumb reviewer.
