What's new?
They been doing that shit for a long time now.
But who to blame,the producers or the consumers?
Jaydc:
Consumers.But what truely disgusts me is the critical acclaim this movie is getting.Sure its amazing visually but thats it.Hell Micahel Bay movies are amazing visually and the critics trash the fuck out of.Fact is the media has their favorites and they treat whatever they do lile its amazing.Point in case James Cameron and Clint Eastwood.ASnything those two touch gets rave reviews no matter how mediocre the actual product.If michael bay made this exact same movie this movie would be getting panned critically.Same way thaty when spike lee critiszed clint eastwoods films,the next spike lee film was torn apart by critics.

Haven't seen Avatar yet so no comment but what Eastwood films did Spike Lee criticize? Gran Torino or that other new film with Jolie deserve criticism. Million Dollar Baby (script sucked, direction was amazing), Mystic River, and Unforgiven are outside the reach of Spike Lee. Spike tries way too hard to make a point and his work suffers big time because of it.
Jaydc:
In no way Im a huge spike lee fan but he does have some great films.I loved inside man and 25th hour of hs more recent films.
I believe lee spoke about that war one clint did I cant even remember the name of it.It got nominated and was critically acclaimed and was extrememly mediocre,theirs been much better war films.At least in my opinion.
