I am pissed at rottentomatoes.com or maybe I am pissed at movie reviewers in general, I don’t know. What I know is that I am pissed. I recently watched two great movies, Terminator Salvation and Transformers: Revenge of the fallen. I went into the movie with the right mindset and judged the movies based on what they were supposed to be and they were great. But on Rotten Tomatoes they were not that great. Terminator Salvation is currently rated at 33% and Transformers:Revenge of the Fallen is rated at a paltry 22% .WTF?

Below you will see rotten tomatoes “consensus” on Terminator Salvation

Consensus: With storytelling as robotic as the film’s iconic villains, Terminator Salvation offers plenty of great effects but lacks the heart of the original films.

WTF? lacks heart? these people obviously fell asleep at the midnight showing because not only did it have the heart of the original films the whole damn film was about the human heart, physically and metaphorically. These critics they are ridiculous. I don’t know who writes the reviews for these movies on rotten tomatoes, I think the first ones are by approved critics and the rest are by random people, but whoever they are they are crazy wrong.

Now below I have added in the “consensus” on rotten tomatoes for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Consensus: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a noisy, underplotted, and overlong special effects extravaganza that lacks a human touch.

underplotted? overlong special effects? human touch? yes I agree! but this is what makes the movie so great! jeez have these people ever actually seen the original transformers cartoon? Optimus Prime’s trailer would fly out from behind a bush when he transformed. the plots were all about stopping whatever extremely stupid thing Megatron came up with. You don’t go into a transformers movie expecting the plot to be on par with something like Shawshank Redemption. It is a friggin movie with robots who transform into cars for Christ’s sake. whatever I am pissed.

When I looked at the yahoo ratings for Transformers 2 I got even more annoyed with “professional” movie critics. Professional critics gave the movie a C-, while yahoo users gave it an A-. If you are getting paid for your opinion your opinion had better be based on what people seeing the movie will think damnit! otherwise why would I bother reading you crap! When I went in to see Transformers 2 I turned off my brain and prepared for the wonderful special effects, stupid humor, and plot that would make no sense. That is what the movie is supposed to be!  here is the yahoo page for Transformers 2.

Gah! I hate professional movie critics, in fact I hate critics in general. I have gone to so many friggin super expensive restaurants that got good ratings from these so called critics and guess what the restaurants sucked. I want to get paid for my BS opinions. It is my opinion that Averatec makes the best laptop ever! go out and buy one and see if you think that was a good statement.

Whatever that is all. This is the Ranting Jamaican signing off from Taipei, Taiwan.

P.S.
please don’t go buy an Averatec laptop. Well you can buy their netbook. Their netbook is just a rebranded MSI Wind. But other than that STAY AWAY! I had an Averatec a while back, I think it gave me second degree burns on my lap.
