50 Million Opening Weekend. Looks like "Taken 3" will happen. Critics got this so wrong. Fans loved it.

Critics got nothing wrong about this movie, since they never commented on whether it would make money or not.

Here's what they got right: It's an awful sequel to a film that's so jingoistic in its self-justification of use of force and torture that it makes my skin crawl. At least the first was well-made.

Why do idiots keep trying to deny criticism it's right to speech through sales, as if it has any indication on the quality of the film rather than on its marketing and the impulses it satisfies in mass culture, and as if they aren't critics themselves? It's fukking mindless. :snoop:

Critics notoriously hate on action movies and always over analyze them. The movie did it job as a sequel people were satisfied with. Critics always looking for some Oscar performances instead of judging a movie for what it is. The Box office only proves the connection the character does have with audiences.

So you hate critics because they analyze a work of art on a level that you, in your opinion, believe is too advanced for it. Action movies are "too stupid" to be criticized.

Do you know what that says for your supposed audience and the mindset those who make films have toward that audience?

And seriously, if you actually read the reviews, most of them dislike the movie because it's a cut rate version of an already mindless film, because it doesn't live up to its own low standards, not any mythic standards that you've fabricated in your head that critics judge the film by.
