But, it probably should be better than 48%, it really wasn't THAT bad. But it certainly wasn't spectacular, that's for damn sure.

I still don't get the 48 fps, an unnecessary risk by the director.
Yeah, fans are typically more forgiving. If someone has an appreciation for something, then they will overlook the bad thing whether subconsciously or not. I remember trying to convince myself for a long time that Aeon Flux was a good movie because I was a fan of the animated series.

If I am a fan, then I am looking at the audience ratings. Those are the people who are judging it on the same things since the vast majority of the people in the audience, espeically in the first few weeks, are already going in with a positive default position.
