Oh Stop!!! This movie is for people who like this type of movie


I get it.
Netflix is Professor Highbrow.

This film was not awful, it was one of those straight to DVD films you find at RedBox.

It's not bad by any means, but it left much to be desired. My major complaints are that it seemed a bit disjointed at parts and I feel like there wasn't enough Hawk honestly. He was a far more interesting character.

That being said though, I enjoyed it for what it was.

Thank You, that's how I felt and I wouldn't mind watching another installment.
It was what it was.

I liked Hawk too. Loved his artistic prowess on the yellow Corvette.

It was just a big nothing burger.

I honestly don't understand how films like this still get made. We have seen this movie a thousand times before.

It was insanely dumb. I burst out laughing when Spenser was writing his 'clues' down in his notebook...

"Who killed Boylan?" *Underlines Boylan 3 times in case he forgets the name of the guy he famously assaulted*

"Why?" *He writes the word "why" down and circles it.. now we are getting somewhere..

Then later, he writes the words "bus station" and "toothpick" under it, to remind himself that he found a toothpick at the bus station. When he questions Bokeem Woodbine about the toothpick, Bokeem lies. So Spenser writes "He lied"..

So glad we wrote all this down. It was getting hard to follow!

Unfortunately, we never see the notebook again. Spenser had his 4 clues written down, I guess that was enough.

I honestly don't understand how people like you can exist only in their own head.

Guess what? People like things that you don't like.

reply

Guess what? I never said nobody else should or shouldn't enjoy the movie.

Sorry for posting my opinion of a movie on a MOVIE DISCUSSION BOARD.

If you liked it, great. It wasn't a personal attack on you.

reply

Actually you pretty much did by saying

I honestly don't understand how films like this still get made.


The answer is, because people like them. If you didn't like it, great but questioning why it got made is an attitude of presumed superiority. I detest rap/hip hop but multitudes love it which is why it gets made. Not everyone shares my tastes and I'm not pretentious enough to question that.

This is the new mindset, apparently.

Nothing can be criticized because someone else likes it. This is the same mentality that brought on the word "haters".

I'm sorry if me thinking this movie sucked offends you.

Hopefully you won't wake up in a cold sweat about it.

reply

I'm not offended at all and I respect your opinion but you clearly didn't "get" what I said.
