Toy Story 3 - Page 4

Alex · 06-18-2010, 02:00 PM

I expected someone wouldn't like it but with 120+ reviews counted it is still 100% at Rotten Tomatoes (though I do see some tepidly positive in there, such as Ebert).

Toy Story 2 is also 100% though, so that is not a reliable indicator of whether iSm will like it.

I happen to know someone who won't watch Toy Story 2. Again. Because he saw it once and he loved it so much and it made him so sad that he can't bear to watch it again. But it's lovingly tucked among our-- I mean, this person and his wife's-- DVD collection.

What an outstanding movie. Simply loved it.

I am curious....I had heard the movie wasn't 100% on RT anymore so I went and looked at the negative review (only the blurb, not the whole thing). The main point in the blurb was that the movie was too full of product placement and that the movie was not about imagination, it was about consumerism.

I have tried to remember the product placement - any product placement - and I can't. Am I forgetting something? Or the consumerism? I am wondering if anyone here who has seen it might agree with that or if the guy is just trying to be a controvesial moron.

I am ready to go see it again today.

I haven't looked at RT yet, but I'm going to make a prediction.

If the negative review is from a well-known critic, I'm going to guess it is Armand White (he also really didn't like Wall-E or Up).

Correct.

Well, to compensate he did give a positive review to the recent Clash of the Titans.

There was an amusing incident when last year when he trashed District 9. He got a lot of crap for that and Roger Ebert stood up for him on his blog saying essentially that it is not a critics responsibility to try and reflect the taste of either the mass audience or the critics. Then the next day he said (essentially) "uh, I read more of his stuff, never mind" and called him a troll.

Hahaha, sounds like a Gemini Cricket sort of review.
