Byron McNertney Solid 6 (8 if you're drunk)

The Last Airbender cartoon is, IMO, the best kids show ever made. MNS should have been arrested for what he did to it.

Glass getting terrible reviews. Starting off at 35% on RT. Bummer.

sad. Was hoping it was good. Go see Free Solo in theaters while you still can

Where is this in Utah? I only see one location in Salt Lake.

I have no idea don't live in Utah. Inversion and too many mormons 🙂

Thanks for telling us why you don’t live in Utah. Super relevant to the topic.

if people make the assumption everyone lives here I'll tell you why it isn't so

yeah it's a tricky sentance. How would you construct it. I debated but decided

I don’t live in Utah either. But I’m not insecure enough about

yes, I was just being dumb.

Gotcha. I’ve been dumb before too. Once.

"Inversion" is what we call the politics category.

They released it this past week in IMAX. Now the only place to see it is SLC

MNS is an amazing director, but very mediocre story-teller. He needs to team up with a great writer.

He's the Malcolm Gladwell of film. Started off with a huge hit and felt the need

I'd say hes made 4 good movies

I thought the Village was entertaining. The twist was painfully obvious but I

Dillinger

1/18/19 10:37am

Which twist?

Coop

1/18/19 10:41am

How on earth was that twist obvious?

Dissenter

1/18/19 11:00am

Yes I did. I'd have to rewatch to remember what tipped me off but I remember

Dillinger

1/18/19 11:02am

I don't remember a specific clue, but if IIRC, the vibe kind of suggested it

Gustav

1/18/19 11:03am

Characters made references to modern things. I thought it was bad writing at first, but then it made sense.

Byron McNertney

1/18/19 11:29am

I called that one early on. Expecting a twist made it easy.

I couldn’t believe how bad After Earth was

Can you provide more insight on Gladwell?

He started off with "The Tipping Point" which was a strong theory that

Was excited for it until reviews started posted

Gustav

1/18/19 10:13am

I don’t trust reviewers completely much anymore. They kinda hate M Night.

Superkid

1/18/19 10:16am

Agree on BP but Split is higher than 76%? Sounds correct to me.

supertux

1/18/19 10:33am

Maybe not much but compared to other Disney movies that easily get 90s despite being completely mediocre, it is

Superkid

Can't argue with that

I just don't see the "reviewers" as a block. There are literally hundreds of

oxcoug

Oh I think reviewers are completely biased as a group and they all gravitate towards the same stuff even if it sucks or

Superkid

1/18/19 10:55am

From what I’ve seen, the knocks are that it’s overwrought, particularly the end

Coop

Overwrought - You think?

kccougar

1/18/19 10:30am

The reviewers should also be stating how they rated Unbreakable and Split to

rcbyufan

1/18/19 10:15am

Both of those are at 77% so I'm guessing most of them liked those 2.

Dillinger

i find my enjoyment tracks closer to audience scores than critics

1/18/19 10:17am

I've found the critics RT scores to be inconsistent in determining if I'll

well i think we see RT scores like a letter grade sometimes. they are not

Meh. Split was overated

RockyBalboa

1/18/19 10:18am

I feel the same. I wasn't a big fan of either Split or Unbreakable.

Yeah that scene really bothered me too.

Dang it! My hopes for a good movie are shattered.

Terrible. Do yourself a favor and just read the SPOILERS below.

Shyamalan is generally terrible with action scenes. It's not surprising that
