LMAO!!! The Batman and Robin sized hole made me laugh so hard. I wouldn't go quite that far, but man it was funny. Believe me I see all the problems, but for some reason I still enjoyed it. Maybe if I wasn't starved I wouldn't have, I dunno. :) Besides, I'm trying to stay positive. ;)

Oh and it isn't looking pretty on Rotten Tomatoes either.

Yeah, to me it came across as "Despite its shortcomings, I liked it." Or at least he wants to believe he liked it. Yes, I just said that and yes I'm a dork. ;)

Well, I'm very, very happy there is at least one partially good review out there. I'm actually not reading any of the reviews, but given what I know about movie critics, I will just be in for more disappointment. See, my own disappointment isn't much. But when it's "validated" by the disappointment of the industry? That hurts.

Yeah, he gave it 4.5 out of 5, which is actually shockingly good for a movie critic. I had lowered my expectations for the movie so I'm not that disappointed either. I think I'll be having fun with this movie in the future in a much less serious capacity. The thing that does disappoint me is that if it gets panned and/or tanks then the likelihood of getting a future mythology based movie is practically zero.

Btw, love the icon. :)
