True.

Also, i hated McKinnon in the trailers...its all so "meta¨ ut hurts. There seems to be no character at all, just a bunch of ¨cool¨ deliveries.
The thing is, they don't even seem like "cool" deliveries. Every preview I've seen has had nothing but predictable one-liners that are so overused they aren't funny any more.

Me either. Although it's really interesting to see metacrowd reviews. I think it's entirely possible that the "if you dont like it, you hate women" backlash may be making some reviewers give it lukewarm positive reviews to avoid the hassle.



*FWIW, I understand why the backlash exists because there are a LOT of assholes who have gone on and on about how it shouldn't have been remade with women.
Or it could, you know, be a decent little movie.

It's entirely possible as well. But the trailers give me no hope for that.
I've got enough hope for both of us.

These guys give solid reviews. I'll probably see it based on this.

Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

If you see this movie based on the "positive" reviews, you are all bigger idiots than I thought.

I'm just having a great time watching all the virulently anti-reboot people lose their shit

Same with the crestfallen Bernie supporters when he endorsed HRC today. No-dog-in-this-fight schadenfreude is addictive.

Nah but this is a whole new level of just horrible. No need for th majority of it. Be wonderful if they took that energy and spent it on something that needs vocal support.
