In a recent PODCAST I did with WILDsound and comingsoon.net’s reviewer Joshua Starnes (listen to it on the right), he talked about how disappointing Hangover 2 was. Joshua was also selfishly hoping the film wouldn’t do that well at the box office to make sure a 3rd Hangover film doesn’t happen.
I listened and chimed in on his reactions to the film and believed in what he was saying even though I hadn’t seen the film yet!
So when I arrived at packed theatre to see Hangover 2, I had little expectations. Joshua and 100+ other of his film critic colleagues have been panning the film for the last 48 hours, calling it a terrible sequel because it’s too similar from the original. Hangover 2 wasn’t getting praise from any influential critic in the world. So I kind of expected to watch a not very good film.
Well if I haven’t learned this lesson by now, then I am insane because I keep believing in what always get proved false later on - Most critics really don’t get it! In fact, 99.5% of movie critics don’t get it.
Hangover 2 was funny and it made me feel good when I watched it. And it did the same for everyone else in the audience I saw it with. And I’m sure it will do the same for the 10 million plus people who will be watching it on opening weekend. And the other 50 million plus who will be watching it in the next year.
I have a stressful job. And I was having a stressful day before I watched Hangover 2. Then all that stress went away when the movie began. Because humour cleansed all that stress away. And that good feeling stayed with me for about 2 days afterwards. And that’s really what comedy movies are all about. Well, that’s what good comedy movies are all about. And Hangover 2 is definitely a solid comedy movie.
So why do critics hate the movie? The simple answer is because they are wankers! They want to be a part of the action that is creativity, whereas they always will be on the sidewalks looking in. And because of that insecurity, judgement and envy that takes place inside of their souls, it obviously leads to negative writing.
A couple of years ago, I was talking to a very high profile critic who’s name I don’t want to mention about comedies. He was always upset whenever the studios wouldn’t let him watch the pre-screener of the film without an audience full of your average movie goers. He was angry that he had to see a comedy film with all those “common people” because the studios argument was that perhaps the critics would appreciate the humour when they witnessed others laughing. Instead of watching it in the morning in a small cinema with a small assembly of other critics (which is usually the case) who’s laugher is completely different with the times of our current life.
So whenever he had to watch a film with the actual people who pay his salary, he got upset and therefore would pan the film no matter what. That’s what you call foolish pride.
And that’s why critics are wankers. But I still love Joshua Starnes, because after all, he works for us. But this time he really missed it.
