Who the hell listens to critics? I sure do not. LOL

My favorite review from the link:

"the toned-down movie version isn't so much anti-religion as it is anti-entertainment."

ROTFL

[Perdogg]

The problem is, the Catholic League will give this movie more publicity than it deserves.

[ZULU]

Good.

When I saw the trailers I wanted to see the movie.

When I heard about the idiot who wrote the story, I decided not to.

Hope he looses his shirt.

Just for fun I entered the zip code for Back Bay Boston to find out where 'Redacted' is playing and got:

"No theaters were found. Please enter another zip code or date."

[arderkrag]

The movie's gonna flop like the last Matrix. And then, Prince Caspian is going to tapdance on its corpse.

[MEGoody]

I know that the trailers for this movie look bad. I wouldn’t waste my money seeing it. But that’s my choice.

It’s not up to Hollywood to say whether or not God will be killed in the minds of our children. It is up to the PARENTS to raise their children in a faith and belief in God. Who the hell is hollywood anyway? Who the hell is Nicole Kidman anyway??? She’s an ACTOR that’s all.

PARENTS, PARENTS, PARENTS....it is up to YOU to teach and guide your children. They come into your life and live with you years before they step out into the world. Give them good, solid, basics. Give them their sense of faith in God. Give them respect for God, country and family. Send them out the door that first day with confidence knowing who they are. Be a parent. Raise the child that has been entrusted to your care.

Don’t let them go to the movies to see all kinds of trash and certainly don’t allow it in your home. Even thinking about a movie like this when we were growing up woudl be laughable because we knew better!!!

Hollywood is not in charge of your family...YOU ARE!!!

I like how the NY Post's Kyle Smith summarized it: The Chronicles of Yawnia.

[metesky]

A few of the reasons Liz Hoggard @ This is London gives for liking the film are, "it dares to ask serious questions about good and evil, free will and adolescent sexuality."

[weegee]

But the ads say that it is among the best fantasy films of ALL TIME. Ads don’t lie, do they? It’s not like the days when Sony Pictures was paying for the quotes...

[XR7]

...a movie that wants to "Kill God in the minds of children"

LOL
The public schools have been doing a good job of that for decades.

[SkyDancer]

A lot of current movies just are not worth seeing - but - the graphics are great .... so sometime I just go to see how the graphics were done and not bother with listening to dialog .... plus of course if it’s one of my favorite actor(s) I’d see it anyway ... like Johnny Depp or Matt Dameon(sp) Brad Pitt, etc .....

[AppyPappy]

God doesn’t get killed in this movie. That comes later. Glenn Beck was right. No matter how badly this movie flops, they will make the last movie so they can kill God.

[MrB]

The only “bad review” that I want to see on this movie is a negative return on investment for those that sank money into it.

[Verloona Ti]

I am amazed the critics didn't fawn all over this movie, because of its "important message", ie antireligion. Medved, in his Hollywood versus America describes a critic's viewing of The Last Temptation of Christ. Critics laughed at the film, scoffed at it, mocked it mercilessly-then the next day, their reviews for it were glowing, even reverent. Medved confronted one of the biggest detractors, who wrote one of the most glowing reviews. "Why did you write such a positive review for a film you hated, at the screening?" And the critic replied, "Because if I didn't , I'd be lumped in with those crazie fundies protesting it". So what has altered that late 1980s dynamic? I am guessing it's the net-too many amateur reviewers who tell the truth, so professional critics know they'll only look like an ass if they try to help a crappy film succeed by praising it-we're past the days when word of mouth was the only way besides the critics to know a film's quality.

PS. If a film tanks in the US, it can still turn a huge profit in the overseas market-especially if it failed here because it's antiAmerican. Medved discusses the impact of the global market , too.

PPS I hope The Water Horse (a film about a baby loch ness monster) is good.

[gridlock]

I hope this movie tanks. That would be a real wake-up call to our cultural betters in Hollywood.

I have to say the opposition to this movie has been well reasoned and calm. There has been very little of the foaming-at-the-mouth type of vitriol that Hollywood usually counts on to sell tickets. Just providing information to the parents, so they can make an informed decision.

[Lacey]

The critics just don't like it.

Roger Ebert's positive review is in our morning paper. Not that I ever pay attention to anything he likes.

[Prodigal Son]

If Christians hate it, it must be a good movie. I will definitely see it.

[x]

Some critics probably will push it because they agree with the anti-Christian message.

Also, along with the reviews there are a lot of "Nicole Kidman Shines in New Film -- How She Survived Divorce From Tom and Keith's Addiction" articles.

Some people are going to think those are positive reviews, when they're just PR for Nicole and the movie.

I was almost tricked myself.
