You think it is a crappy movie? Based on what? Media description? Gut-level
intuition? Other peoples opinions (who may or may not have seen it)?
A blanket denigration of something without some kind of firsthand knowledge (IE
*see the movie*) is foolish, IMO. (1) Tell you what, go blow a few dollars
and rent it. Sit down and watch it with an open mind. If, at that point, you
think it is a "crappy movie", more power to you. I would respect that opinion.
Expousing an opinion about how bad something is - without a valid basis for
that opinion - earns no respect.
One thing I have learned: try not to prejudge.
There are a lot of movies (and books, and people, and whatever) that I have had
initial doubts about. But I strive to remain neutral until I have firsthand
knowledge. I have been pleasantly surprised many times. And surprisingly
disappointed many times as well. But I try to come by my opinions honestly.
Think for yourself - don't let others form your opinions for you.
