Not sure what my "showing some humility" would have on the subject. Arty-farty? You seem to use that to dismiss anyone who disagrees with you. Weird. Assshole with 3 s's? Hmmmm. lol
I so appreciate this articulate response and well-thought out personal attack. I suspect you are uneducated in the sciences and much, much more.
Good luck with that. -

"Critics tend to be arty-farty types who prefer mysterious confusing plots that don't actually make any sense - like the dude on drugs who mutters basic statements now and again and weak minds assume they are a genius." That's quite an assertion you're making there. I suppose you think you're a "great mind" then? Ok.
"No wonder people are getting fed up with all the crappy politically correct irrationality in the world and voting against it." Ok, the moment somebody pulls that utterly ridiculous "political correctness" card I'm done reading. Your perception is all shot to hell.
If you didn't like it don't watch. Go watch the next Transformers and you'll know what you get. And I bet a million you don't mind critics at all when they like a movie you like. Muppet! -

Ignorant pup. Check my movie ratings and watch list for a high quality judgement on movies, quite a few which are idolised by critics get a poor rating from me, and also vice-versa. I don't pretend to be the be-all-and-end-all of movie criticism, some of my judgements may well be dumb, but, in general, I can tell when something smells bad.

I do not understand how anybody can give this movie a rating of 8.3 and call it a masterpiece. The only thing the cast has mastered is the art of BOREDOM!!!! After watching the movie for 30 minutes you are nothing more than deeply confused and eagerly awaiting some sort of action different than THAT HIDEOUS SOUND! I SWEAR if I didn't know it was aliens in that giant semi- gravity stone tube, I would have thought I am listening to some sort of whales hunt.
Half an hour later you sit in front of the screen even more dazed and disoriented than before. The only new twist is the womb-like feeling Amy Adams finds herself in, her bouncing hair and that creepy white mist which seems to transport people and dissolve matter at the same time.
By the end of the movie you begin to question every choice you have made in your life, including why you decided it was a good idea to see a movie where a semi-linguist, semi-fortune teller and a semi-scientist try to decipher a mysterious alien language, because 3,000 years later the alien whales will need some human help. Eh? Not only did I lose 2 hours of my life, but I need time to recover from this epic disaster.
