"I have seen and what I have heard, Black Hawk Down and Passion of the Christ both seem to be the worst traits of both (normally very good) directors."

I posted that list because rottentomatoes is not very accurate about what is and isn't a good movie.

As far as Black Hawk and Passion of the Christ, they were two of the best ever made of their subjects, war and religious.

I agree that it isn’t always an accurate predictor. Usually a high 90’s score is a pretty good indicator as is a low score. There are lots in the middle that can be very good or very bad. Rarely have I been seriously disappointed in a movie that has 80%+ positive reviews. When over 200 people see a movie and they all agree that it is good, I think it is safe to say that the average persons chances of liking the movie are pretty good.

Agreed.

What on earth did someone find to complain about “Blackhawk Down” about? I thought it was a very well done movie, showed our troops in a positive, respectful light and shed some light on the horror and confusion of combat for those of us who have been fortunate enough to never have to experience.
