Why so much hate for a kids movie?


Why do so many people waste their time coming on to this board saying they hate the series?? It's a harmless kids movie, my 6 year old daughter loved it, I can't imagine she'd sit through Star Wars!! Not every movie needs to be an artistic masterpiece.. So much negativity, it's sad :(

I usually draw the line when bathroom humor and flatulence jokes show up. While it's certainly nothing new, these things have been increasingly prevalent in children's movies, betraying an inexcusable acceptance of the lowest forms of screenwriting extant today. There are all sorts of subjects that can be used to create very enjoyable children's films that are educational as well.

Just because a kid enjoys a movie is no reason by itself to rank it highly. I should stress that I also strongly advocate a parent's right to determine which movies are acceptable for his children to watch. If you want to let your kids watch "Alvin and the Chipmunks", that's your decision to make…

A reasonable, thoughtful post.

My kids just saw Batman & Robin and loved it.

Imagine me jumping on the Batman & Robin board and bitching about how bad it is like some kind of massive lowlife 

I guess kids would like it, adults not too much.

I haven't seen this movie yet, but since it's like the 4th sequel or something, they must be doing something right.

Not really,they are just cashing in on idiot kids and their oblivious parents!

It seems that you hate / don't like this franchise, fine, it's your feeling, your taste, your opinion, but don't believe yourself more intelligent than other people just because of that.

Why?Does it hurt the feelings of all the idiots who lack any artistic taste?

Oh just sod off already,this is utter crap and you defending it is just pathetic.Go watch barbie pet rescue already kid!

reply

Pretending to be more intelligent than other people just because you don't like or don't do something is an immature kid reasonning. You're just proving that you are one (don't take your case for a generality), because you believe that allows you to be arrogant, insulting and to belittle people who don't have the same feeling - taste - opinion than yours. Such disrespect.

No thanks, I'm not interested by this.
I'm 23 and you ?

I actually turned 32 this month,not that it's any of your business.This movie and all in this series are crap and that is not a debate between you and me but a fact.Sorry if you are butt-hurt by it but a fact is still a fact.Good day!

Look who's talking you special little snowflake! :) Just gotta have the last word eh?But that is not childish in the least now is it?It has a very low rating on imdb and rotten tomatoes which proves amply that you are in denial of a very evident fact! Most people hated these movies and your meaningless rants meant less than nothing compared to that.Not gonna answer you again so you can have the last word and be happy because quite frankly you just ain't worth it!

reply

You are mixing up everything. What I explained to you applies to each one of us.
I'm not denying it's low-rated, this is a fact. It's low-rated because a lot of people hated it, this is also a fact. These people hated it because it doesn't fit with their appreciation criterias. For these people, it's crap, not for others. It's just their opinion, which is not universal. We're returning to the same point, I won't repeat myself. It's the same logic for everything you and/or people have an opinion.

You seemed to have no arguments at the beginning to disagree so you tried to take refuge into the crowd (choice is yours to act as a sheep), which is not helping you more.

If you refuse to understand what I explained, then I cannot do anything for you and that proves once again that you're butt-hurt.

Ok you are a troll!Ignoring you now. :)

reply

Actually it was crap and it lowers peoples IQ but I guess yours cannot go any lower anymore.You are just provoking people with your stupidity and expect to win the argument by frustrating them.You say other people are not objective but what have you done other than annoy by repeating yourself? Hypocrite much? Get a life and accept that maybe sometimes you are just wrong.Ratings on every review site speak against you and everyone I know hates these retarded pointless movies. There is no insult in stating the obvious and that sadly is that these movies are for morons and people should not encourage any more sequels by taking their kids to these subpar crapfests.Unless they want them to be as smart as you when they grow up and to spend their time ranting mindlessly on imdb.Rant on if you will cause I doubt someone else will answer you!People are learning slowly not to feed trolls like you! :)

Well, I have sooooo many things to say about your comment that I won't post them. Unless you absolutely want to know what are they, which would be surprising, and I doubt that you'll have the patience for that as you apparently get annoyed when you read.

Maybe you're right, I'm stupid, wasting my time on people who don't deserve any attention, who consider stupid people who don't have the same point of view as theirs, and/or who explain too much developped reasonning for their brain.

Happy belated 32nd.

Did you watch this movie and the others in the series?

If yes, why? Why did you watch each in its entirety?

If no, how can you be so sure of their apparent lack of quality? Did you rely on the opinions of others? If you so relied, why are you writing with the self-assurance of first hand opinion?

It's your opinion that it's a bad movie, it's not fact. My opinion is that it's a clean, fun movie.

This is a between toddler and preteen movie and I have no idea about the hate.
As an adult I enjoyed it.
I thought it was fun.

I have kids.
I love going to the movies.
I enjoy watching kids movies.
This was not bad at all.
