Okay, considering I like the Dungeons and Dragons movie, maybe I shouldn;t be the one to talk about crappy critics. However, WAY more often than not, I give widley loved movies the respect they deserve. Armond White does neither. White is rpobably the dumbest man to ever touch a keyboard ever. If you don;t agree with me, here's a list of the movies he loves and hates:
Great Movies he Hates:
The King's Speech
Lord of the Rings
3:10 to Yuma
Batman Begins
The Wolfman
Precious
X-Men: First Class
Toy Story 3
Knocked Up
Iron Man
Gran Torino
The Matrix
Up
Star Trek
District 9
Repo Men
Jennifer's Body
Crap Movies He Applauds:
Clash of the Titans
Norbit
Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Bedtime Stories
Grown Ups
Land of the Lost
GI Joe: Rise of Cobra
Jonah Hex
Here are some quotes from this genius of cinema:
On Clash of the Titans:
"Leterrier certainly shows a better sense of meaningful, economic narrative than the mess that Peter Jackson made of the interminable, incoherent Lord of the Rings trilogy."
On GI Joe
" G.I. Joe must be understood as an authentic measurement of our cultural values. Its appeal to the pop-commercial synapses also demonstrates livelier filmmaking than such utter banality as Iron Man and Star Trek and Harry Potter's Half-Blooded Chintz."
On Toy Story 3:
" Toy Story 3 is so besotted with brand names and product-placement that it stops being about the innocent pleasures of imagination -- the usefulness of toys -- and strictly celebrates consumerism."
On Precious
" Winfrey, Perry and Daniels make an unholy triumvirate. They come together at some intersection of race exploitation and opportunism."
On District 9
" District 9 represents the sloppiest and dopiest pop cinema -- the kind that comes from a second-rate film culture."
