I can see this thread isn't going to end well. When you tell someone they hate something you absolutely love they get pissed, and probably for no good reason.
Tracker, you definitely need to watch Brazil again and remember that Terry Gilliam is a crazy man when watching it. Great future dystopian comedy.
As for the review in the OP, that guy is annoying as hell. His criticisms on some films are well founded, but most of his critiques are about how the film compares to other movies/ other stories, and tiny insignificant details that don't matter. What an incredibly annoying individual.
Speaking of stupid reasons to not like a movie, I also hated Titanic, but more because I was working in a theatre when it came out and when you pack a room with a bunch of middle aged humans who are emotional for 3+ hours, they emit what I can only describe as a "stench of humanity" that is utterly repulsive when you have to clean the room afterwards. That and that goddam annoying Celine Dion song over the closing credits. I just can't watch it now without that visceral reaction. Sad really.
