Elder001:


Are you joking?

KoiceReloaded:

Hmm. I dunno. You tell me. What do you think?

Elder001:



You're wrong. Some movies don't even deserve to be rated 2/10.

KoiceReloaded:


Sure. You can rate a movie 1/10 and still be well within the fringes of ratiocination. However, rating a movie -2/10... well, that's madness. You can't grade someone's paper with a -F, can you? F is enough. Anything beyond that is illogical.

Funjosh:
There is something I realized, we enjoyed and understood movies differently and the a movie I might like someone else might not.
One of my best movie this year is FOREVER MY GIRL. If am to rate it I will give it 8/10 while the over hyped Deadpool 2 is the worst I have watched this year. I will give it - 2/10.


So we need to chill sometimes, recommend movies, rate it and don't critize other for not liking what you don't.

JeromeBlack:




There is an exception or limit to every rule. Yes, we are all allowed to have our subjective opinions. Rating movies can be subjective.

The exception to allowing people to have opinions is that there are opinions that are quite insane. Opinions that cannot be defended and have no basis in reality

KoiceReloaded:


See, the problem with "everyone is entitled to their opinion" is that all too often, it’s used to shelter beliefs that should have been abandoned. It becomes shorthand for "I can say and think whatever I like, so don't disrespect me"

An opinion by definition is a view/judgement about something, thus, an opinion has attached to it a certain degree of subjectivity. Using it as a defense only works in certain situations.

For instance, there is no way you can argue with me if I were of the opinion that Jackie Chan is a shitty actor. You might be of a different opinion, but since my opinion is based on subjectivity, I'm allowed to stick to it. But you have all the right to argue with me if I were of the opinion that Titanic didn't happen, since there is overwhelming pop-culture references and documentations to show there is practically no subjectivity in my "opinion" that Titanic never happened. It's a straightup fallacy. I don't know if you understand where I'm going with this.

If everyone is entitled to their opinion is to infer that no one has the right to stop people thinking and saying whatever they want, then we are royally f**ked as a civilization.

Bottom line, you entitled to have an opinion, but only as long as you're able to reasonably argue for it with evidence. Argue critically, criticize rationally, and with evidence. Thank you.

Funjosh:

Hahahahahaha.......... I now get you, the - there is to tell you that the actors are owing me for the time I spent watching it.

KoiceReloaded:



Like I said once upon a time...

JeromeBlack:



I somehow missed that your quoted post. It is nothing but the truth.

It is why I like IMDB reviews or even Amazon reviews- most reviewers usually put a reason for their ratings and furthermore, the reviews are then voted upon (to rank the helpfulness of the review). In short, if your review is nonsensical, it wouldnt be voted as helpful.

Skyscraper.. 5/10
Genre: Action SciFi

The movie would have gotten more ratings if not for some of its unrealistic scenes.
SPOILER ALERT

OK, this particular scene were Dwayne Johnson jumps from the crane into the building really got me infuriated. That scene was very unrealistic even for a SciFi movie, this is a man with a parasitic limp, weighting at least 118kg, running through half of the crane length & taking the following into consideration:
1)The impact his 118kg body weight would have on the jump.
2)The distance btw the crane & the building.
3) The wind speed at that height
4) His parasitic limp slowing down his rate of acceleration...with all this parameters, he was able to make that jump, Hmm!! who are they kidding. Even those skillful hadcore parkour jumpers wouldn't make half that jump @ that height

Secondly, him scaling that wall at the 220th floor with nothing more than a duct tape & feeling very comfortable while performing the act was very unrealistic. I could remember when Tom cruise performed similar feat in GHOST PROTOCOL on 161th floor of the Burj khalifa building, he didn't do so with ease even with all his advanced gear, then someone performs a even greater feat, with nothing more than a rope and duct tape at that particular height, feeling at ease & more comfortable as ever..Hmm!!!, I give up.

troubleseller:
As my brother up there said, all these detailed analysis kwa. Remember it is just a movie not a Physics experiment. Why not just enjoy the movie for what it is?

Koicereloaded, have you seen this Netflix movie, The Afterparty? If you have, do you recommend me watching it?

KoiceReloaded:


Nope. Steering clear of Netflix's original movies atm. Their movies tend to suck.

Beorn:
Oceans 8. 6/10.

With all the negative reviews I read prior to watching the movie, I'm surprised I ended up not disliking the movie. It's an okay movie even though it pales in comparison to its male counterparts. Even RiRi wasn't bad with her acting as well, she wasn't great either. It's understandable because her character was kinda laid back and didn't need to be active.

Beorn:


Let me follow your lead then and keep my distance from the film. Will start Condor today in the absence of good movies available. Hoping it'll be worth the hype.

KoiceReloaded:


"RiRi". Hmmm. Someone is a fan

KoiceReloaded:


Condor is okay. Not great, I have issues with it but I won't ruin it for you. It's entertaining enough.

Beorn:


Yes, I am. For over 10 years now, though, the issue with Breezy almost derailed my love for her.

Beorn:


You've already ruined it for me by labelling it okay after the encomiums you heaped on it.
