A Criticism of My Criticism

SERIOUSLY WHY DO YOU GUYS EVEN BOTHER WRITING MOVIE REVIEWS WHEN YOU NEVER HATE ANY MOVIES! I JUST SCANNED BACK THROUGH ALL OF DERREKS MOVIE REVIEWS AND THE GUY NEVER SAW A MOVIE HE DIDNT LIKE. YOU TAKE HIS LAST 30 REVIEWS AND HE GIVES THEM AN AVERAGE WORTH OF $6.50 WHICH IS WHAT IT COSTS TO GO TO A MOVIE ANYWAY. SOME REVIEW! AND IN THOSE 30 MOVIES, HE ONLY RATES MOVIES BELOW 6 TWO F***ING TIMES. AND LETS NOT PRETEND THAT THERE HAVENOT BEEN SOME UTTERLY S****Y MOVIES OUT THERE THIS YEAR. I WONT EVEN GET INTO THE FACT THAT THE REVIEWS ONLY JUST REDO THE WHOLE PLOT SO THAT I DONT EVEN HAVE TO GO SEE THE MOVIE ANY MORE. WHERE IS THE OPINION WHEN IT IS ALL PLOT FACTS. SERIOUSLY THE LEAGUE OF EXTRIORDANARY GENTLEMEN WAS THE ONE THAT PUSHED ME OVER THE EDGE. I GOT TO SEE THE MOVIE AT A SNEAKPREVIEW AND IT WAS PROBABLY THE WORST MOVIE EVER MADE. EVERY REVIEW OUT THEIR HATED IT. AND YOU GAVE IT SEVEN DOLLARS. SEVEN DOLLARS???????????? FFFFFF*** YYYYYYYYYYYYOU!

-- "Lex Luther, Jr."

Mister Junior raises some interesting criticisms. Perhaps I have been remiss in my reviewing duties by paying attention to things like spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure in my writing. And I've clearly been making a huge mistake by signing my own real name to my work. You're right, Lex, anonymity is the way to go!

But seriously, to me, the $6 rating is equivalent to two stars as employed by other critics. Here in the Silicon Valley, the top price for a ticket is $10. Maybe we should just go to a planetary ratings system like we do comics, especially as the price guiding could be causing regional confusion. Think of those poor jerks in Los Angeles who paid up to $14 for Hulk!

Which, by the way, was a review that somebody wrote in to complain I didn't like enough, since obviously, it had been number one in its first weekend which must mean the "people" liked it. We can't please everybody, nor can we really try to -- but we can try to listen to criticism, and see if it has any weight. Perhaps I do too much summary in my own reviews, though I would argue that Jordan Rosa and Sarah Stanek do not. And even when I include plot points, I never go past the first half of a film. I will try to do better.

So -- should we change the rating system here on Fanboy Planet?

I am a lucky dog, though currently I have a bounty on my head from Lex Luther, Jr.
