***Saying you did not "like" a film is one thing, saying it is "bad" because you did not like it is arrogant,WOW! Put differently, there is nothing bad in life, only things you dislike... ain't that kinda like "arrogant"?
But wait, you keep going:
"particularly in light of the glowing endorsements the film has received from various quarters. "
Now you got me utterly confused... you make it sound like many people liking something makes it good... but hey, then someone not liking it makes it bad... or does it not?
Are we now back to square one?
What is all that mental constipation some have with simply stating their opinions?
But read further:
"Which raises the question: Did all these people get it wrong, and Tin get it right? Or did Tin get it wrong, and all these people right? "
So now, suddenly, good and bad is the matter of voting. Lovely... no wonder AuPh keeps getting orgasms over his beloved LoTR - that one collected whole lot more money than Bicycle Thief.
BTW - I did not see any "thinks" or "opinions" in your post either - does it make what you wrote a fact?
