Do you hate film snobs who are insecure?

Question

I went to see Mirrors with my friend. It was a perfectly enjoyable movie that engaged the entire audience right to the end. When I asked my friend if he liked it, he said no. That was a load of bull. Whenever he sees a movie that's totally boring garbage, like Smart People, There Will Be Blood or Children of Men, he LOVES it. Now, I like smart, intellectual movies that win Oscar awards too, but how can he like excruciating movies that have dull, nonsensical plotlines or outright awful flow because some critics said it was good?

I believe many film snobs are insecure about rating movies because they feel major film critics and the Oscars set the standard. The truth is, many of them are biased towards certain movies for political reasons. My friend is a Republican but he's too stupid to figure out some movies get a pass by critics for their leftist leanings.

I hate insecure people who always look over other people's shoulders.

Answer 1

everybody has their opinions. that's why movie reviews are always so painful to read sometimes. you just feel like telling them to enjoy a movie once in a while just because they like it.

i can't stand movie reviewers who give great reviews to dark, deep meaningful movies which are okay, but give c**p reviews to corny movies which actually make you laugh and are fun to watch!

arghhh i just wish they weren't so s****. about it!

Answer 2

Yes, I much prefer film snobs who are secure.
