This got less than 4 minute standing ovation in Venice, that's almost like booing. Flop.

reviews as of now seem mixed erring on the positive, which is good enough for me tbh.

Even still, I don't get comments like that. Even if it flops, I'm still excited to see it.

Why do I care what critics have to say about something that looks good to me?

Also: "flop"? So, something has to be successful aka popular or that person dismisses it? Weird behaviour.

I think the critics are being too much. A lot of the reviews are like, it’s fun but relies on the nostalgia of the original.. which doesn’t sound like a bad thing to me lol.

Exactly! It's not that serious. 🤷‍♂️

And?

I don't care about critics. Never have.

I loved the original as a kid and still do! Just rewatched it the other day, actually.

I'm sure I'll like it no matter what, honestly.

The original also isn't high-art or anything. It is a cult classic.

And... Nothing. I didn't tell you not to see it.
It's not that serious, why are you so defensive, it's just a joke about how literally everything gets a standing ovation at these festivals.
You acting like I said something offensive, weird behavior.

I'm not defensive at all. And you weren't making a joke about festivals giving standing ovations; you were making a joke about how short the standing ovation was.

You were literally pointing out how short it was, to prove your point/opinion that you think it is a "flop." YOU put importance on those silly ovations in the first place. 😆

Don't backtrack now because literally one person pushed back on your opinion.

It really isn't that serious at all, but don't start lying.

Weird. Behaviour.

But I'm moving on with my life after this comment. Good lord. 🤦‍♂️

OK, go watch the movie, don't get mad if a random online calls a movie a flop, don't let it get to you.

It ain't that serious naomi.gif
