I like that many people criticize movies, it has helped me when I want to check out a new film. But the underlying part to that is I usually only take the advice of a person I know, so I already know how we compare on different movie genres.
I am a film major and it is so easy to say why we don't like a movie, but quite difficult to explain it. I have seen this movie and admit there are parts that are quite bad, but I do think there are also parts that are quite good. For me I would have to say that MOST of the actors were lacking in skill, and the story lacked the build up and support to enforce its climatic goal or intentions. But the direction was good, I liked the composition of most of the shots, and the audio was great.
The list could go on about lighting, and other specifics, but I find that I can always see something good in a movie immediately dismissed as garbage. I may not always like the movies I've seen, but I try to understand them.
To sum up, don't just tell us a movie sucks, tell us what about it sucks. This may provoke a lot of people to click the "containers spoiler" from now on however.
