I call people like yourself amateurs because a real critic knows what's acceptable to the general audience and isn't going to get fixated on unexplained events that don't have a large bearing on the story. If a movie is pure garbage and the only plot that exists is in holes then yes they will be bashed but a quality move doesn't get taken to task for minor holes as a real critic knows the process of what is involved in making a motion picture and that it's not practical to have every single act fully explained.
I could pick this movie apart if I wanted to but the fact is that I enjoyed it for what it was and life is too short to spend on finding reasons to critique something that brought you enjoyment. I look at movies as escapism and not a chance to bring out my detective kit and tell everyone else why they shouldn't like it. Some of you take your imaginary jobs way too seriously.

There has to be some irony that you're being a total condescending dick and at the same time accusing others of doing so.
With the exception of perhaps Tinordi who seems to just hate everything and everyone, I haven't seen a single person ever think they are some sort of expert movie reviewer. Talking about plot holes or problems with a film isn't about trying to ruin the movie for others, it is simply a way to discuss things. Imagine that, discussion on a discussion board.
Nobody has ever stated that others aren't smart for enjoying TDKR or that they're stupid because the plot holes don't bother them. For someone who is as monumentally pessimistic as yourself surely you can understand the idea of criticism? Or maybe that's the problem and you can't. You really can't separate criticism from dislike. I can criticize TDKR and still love it.
Only a few select people on CP ever claim to be film afficianados or go all peter12 and claim to be on too much of an intellectual highground to even share their knowledge with us lowly minions. Not to mention the fact that this thread is 1500 posts and most of it is filled with some really interesting discussion. But angry EE doesn't like that. Too much intellectuals peering down their noses at the dumb-dumbs.
Your entire attitude and condescending posts are pathetic. You're seriously that worried that you think people criticize film because they think it will make them seem smarter to the rest of CP? Well I guess you can never post in FOI again because criticism of hockey players is just for the #######s that want to make the rest of us feel stupid!!!
Of course it couldn't possibly be that we discuss all of these things, be it tv, film, literature, art, architecture, politics, sports or whatever else, because they are interesting. No, no, you're right. It is out of some bizarre childish my dick is bigger than yours attitude.
