I could write complete essays on how and why this movie is so great, but this video explains it a lot better than I ever could. It's 40 minutes of pure insight, really worth the watch.

If I was you, I'd never use MovieBob as any kind of source of definitive truth. Since, if you agree with him so much, then you must agree with him that veterans from the Iraq war were mindless fascists.
Also, MovieBob supports Anita Sarkisian. -

That's a pretty big leap in logic you're making there. I've butted heads with people on this very board about political issues but whom I agree with on movie issues. Just because I agree with the guy about this movie (and his BvS review) doesn't mean we agree on everything. And since I've never heard
him
speak of Iraq war veterans, the only one I see calling them mindless fascists is
you
. But I guess you can provide me with a link to said statement.
Also, MovieBob supports Anita Sarkisian.
That's nice, I don't know who that is. But according to you I need to google her, since I obviously support her too.
EDIT: I actually googled her real quick, and after two minutes of reading a summary on Wikipedia about her and the equality causes she stands for, I now support her too.
But this leads to an interesting point, apparently you
don't
support her. May I ask why you have a problem with equality for women ?

What's satirical about calling out an uninspired film for what it is?
Pretty much your choice of words on the matter and the fact that you called it uninspired in the first place.
It's a brilliant satire of a troll post. You see, in posts by
actual
trolls, those exact words are always an indication that the troll didn't understand what people have called a "childrens movie" (despite scenes of eye-gauging and impalement, but that's a separate issue), the irony of which you've captured perfectly.
Stating that a movie which is mainly a character study built completely around interpersonal conflict has
"no conflict between the characters"
was a nice touch. But adding that it doesn't have a story, when every single character's story arc could be a movie in itself, now that's a satirical stroke of genius.
I salute you, sir.
