You know…one thing I find absurd in the internet world is how whenever a new comic book movie comes out…there is a tidal wave of negativity declaring how badly a certain film sucked.  I dread it with every release.  Spider-Man 3 (which I have not seen) could have beentop calibre stuff, and there would be a cadre of people to say it sucked.  The one surprise was the absurd free pass Superman Returns got.  It was not much better than X-Men 3, yet, while the fanboys raged against X3 with no mercy…they tried to pretend the major flaws that overwhelmed Superman Returns didn’t matter.

But for all the flaws, most movies the fanboy community call awful and declare as sucking…well…did not suck.  They usually were not even “bad”.  What they were was…mediocre.  Example?  Ghost Rider could have been faaaaaaaaaaar worse than it was.  Same for Daredevil.  Okay, I will give you Elektra and Catwoman.

Seriously, this is true of a lot of movies that get accused of being horrible are really just…average.  Some are even entertaining.  You would never know this from the fanboy community.  I have seen such absurd claims as if you take someone to Spider-Man 3, you must hate them, or you should only take an enemy to Spider-Man 3.

Seriously, people?  You really think the film was that bad?  I gotta admit, I kind of envy your world where your movie viewing has been so limited that you can declare a movie as that bad.  I mean, you didn’t enjoy it…fine.  But fanboy criticism usually lack common sense and a certain amount of reason.  Instead of saying the movie was disappointing, fanboys fall all over themselves to over exaggerate just how bad the flaws were.

So, if you are wondering about whether or not Spider-Man 3 is any good, I recommend avoiding the fanboy community for advice.  Unless you are asking me.  I am fair and balanced, afterall.
